Drew was much older than Cecilia
No matter, his love was pure
Cece didn’t view him as a father figure
She knew he was the right one for her
Look, Chaplin had Oona
Then there was Serge and Jane
It could happen, it did happen
It was love by any name

In the desert they would roam
They lived to hike
He was a gourmet
Who cooked for her at night
Over a nice rose, by candlelight
They would nuzzle
As the years turned into decades
They aged without fear

So judge ye not
For they have got
As tight a bond you’ll ever see
Evidenced by what each never takes off
A matching wedding ring

He didn’t have much time
Cancer was killing him him
He had a few good friends who he wanted to see before the end
So they met at Perino’s
My dad was among them
As this good guy going down feted his mates
Graciously and with love
There were smiles through tears
Goodbyes and amens
When your time is ending
Life gets clearer
My dad told this story
It brings a tear to my eyes
Before I go I want to thank my dear friends
We’ll  have dinner at a fine restaurant
Then say our goodbyes

There will never be another you
Nor another us
What we have is so perfect
Excellent A-plus
Perfect company
At a ball or on the town
Or hanging in the desert
With no one else around
There will never be another love
Like the one that’s ours
Nothing could takes its place
How it has flowered
Each day is nirvana
Just to see your face
To surely, simply love you
Always been the case

This is to your heart
Coming from mine
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Sending my best
Remembering the time
We were together
Entwined
A love for forever
Yours and mine
Some days more than others
How my heart aches
As I ruminate about my mistakes
But I soldier on
Secure in the thought
That what we had was not all for naught
It’s twilight now as I send these thoughts
Hoping they reach you
And if not I know that you know
Our love still lives on
In my heart and yours
Though those days are gone

Clickety clack
Down the track
It’s honeybunch and me
In our own sleeping compartment
Ooh wee!
Chasing adventure
Finally free from the humdrum
Of daily life
As we see what America is all about
It’s beauty
Little league
Big outdoors
Commerce everywhere
People holding hands
Desert stars
Swaying to the rhythm
Shacks and mansions
Kids at play
What a way
To see this land
While traveling with the babe
Clickety clack
Down the track
We got it made

I’m at the Museum of Memories
The only one here
It’s a great collection of romance
The loves of yesteryear
I’m one of the leads in each story
Almost all of the endings are sad
I don’t know why some didn’t work out
Some I wish they had
I go from teary to melancholy
Occasionally, I smile instead
I don’t visit the museum very often
It’s just too hard to take
Life has moved on and I should too
This is a museum of many mistakes
Here is another broken heart
It happens to be mine
I went all out for this princess
I was her never mind
This one I let get away
Boy was I wrong
Now she lives far away
All that remains is our song
Over here is the dear
She still comes around
Even though I led her on
I lost what we had found
What I did was wrong
It’s time to leave now
I can’t take it anymore
So much pain and heartache
Truth from the days of yore
No one else can visit, only me
Usually I do so when I need a dose of reality

I want an old-fashioned love
Starting with you and me
Starring each other
Giving freely
Strong as a rock
Gentle and deep
Each for the other
Ever to be
An old-fashioned love
We are destined to be
It’s all about you
It includes me
So tell me you’re ready
For the ride of your life
The ultimate journey
A man and his wife
An old-fashioned love
Yes, we can be
Cozy and comfy
In pure harmony
An old-fashioned love
So we shall be
Living and loving in pure harmony
