Dear Johnny
Sitting alone on the park bench
watching the sun set,
While feeling all alone
a beautiful stranger i met.
He said his name was Johnny
he already knew my name
Johnny was so perfect
with him, it just wasnt the same.
Johnny’s eyes were lovely
a darkened shade of brown
Johnny was there for me
with him i never wore a frown
Johnny drowned my sorrows
and johnny loved me so
johnny was so perfect
he promised he’d never let me go
whenever i felt alone
and so out of place
johnny was beside me
told me “dont give up this race”
Im so much happier now
i have somewhere i belong
Johnny is my voice
my strength to keep me strong
Johnny would hold me
when i’d start to cry,
when darkness had me surrounded
Johnny was my sky
sitting on the park bench
Im feeling all alone
I cannot find my johnny
he isnt there at home.
I called out to johnny
but the park was very quiet
I was crying now
and johnny didnt hear my plight
Johnny where are you?
Where did you disappear?
Johnny i cant find my way,
why did you leave me here?
People passed me by
staring at my face
No sign of my johnny
Not a single trace.
The dawn of truth struck me
shattering me like glass
i entered into the real world
dreamworld wouldnt last
Johnny was my imagination
johnny was from my mind
and while i was lost in dreamworld
to reality i was blind.
There never was a stranger
I was all alone,
still sitting on the park bench
far away from home.
see johnny didnt leave me
nor did he stop to care
while i was sitting on that park bench
a “johnny” was never there…
