She checked out way too early, it was a very untimely fate
She was planning to be married, she couldn't  hardly wait
She was very much in love, they'd already set the date
She waited for him all this time, she finally found her soulmate
But cancer has a way of altering your plans
The monster was aggressive, she never had a chance
She never had a honeymoon, she never got to dance
She never cut the cake, she was a victim of circumstance
She was the light of his life, he thought her love could save him
She was the reason for his reason, now he's just a victim
Of the serpent  they call cancer and its very deadly venom
Why she left so early is very hard to fathom
He can't go on without her, he feels like he could die
His life is total chaos, he hangs his head and cries.

Woman oh woman, can't you hear me call
Woman oh woman, I think we're headed for a fall
When you stand beside me I see three shadows on the wall
Woman oh woman, please don't make me crawl
Could it be you found another, I think this is the end
Woman oh woman, I don't want to be just friends
Woman oh woman, you know I love you so
Woman oh woman, guess I'll have to let you go.
Perhaps with the passage of time I'll get over you
But right now  my heart is breaking in two.

He journeys to the north to catch sight of an angel
She came into his life, it was purely transcendental
Could it be the same that visits him in his dreams
Just when he catches sight of her, she disappears like a breeze
He feels her all around him, her scent is everywhere
He sees her in the clouds,  she vanishes in thin air
He sees her in a crowd, He tries in vain to catch her
He's grown weary of the chase, He's ready to surrender
He's exhausted  his resources, He's ready to go home
Once again he leaves, once again he's all  alone.

I once met me a woman, she was wise beyond her years
She told me "If your heart is breaking don't try to hide the tears"
She also told me" You'd have to be a fool
To think you can  be calm and always play it cool"
She said "Tears are the silent language of grief
And to let them flow if I wanted  relief
Tears are the soul's relief valve for grief and sadness
If left unchecked the result is utter madness"
She told she could tell by the lines on my face
That my heart and soul weren't in a joyful place
And that tears were a sign of authenticity
And to stop being a pathetic human casualty
I was totally in shock, she read me like a book
It was as if she had access to my personal scrapbook
She told me for my problem she had the right vaccine
She put her arms around me and whispered"Let the healing begin."

At times life can be a complete mystery
You go through life with all this uncertainty
If you put your mind to it , it's easy to be free
Constantly blaming your self can be very unhealthy
Somehow you must allow yourself to let go of the pain
And jettison  the jetsam that contaminates  your brain
The past is the past but we must learn from it
And stop living your life with all that guilt
You must clear your mind of all the chatter
And focus your mind on the things that really matter
In a world that offers so much choice
Look to the creator, it's time to rejoice!

I awoke one morning to the sound of her voice
She was a sailor's dream, a woman of poise
She was a girl I knew when I was eighteen
If you've ever been in love you'll know exactly what I mean
She was the most voluptuous woman that  I've ever seen
Man did she look good in a pair of blue jeans
I was her man and she was my queen
We were totally in love, there was no in between
Life got hard and we drifted apart
Even though we split she's always in my heart
It's been years now but the tears still fall like rain
Somehow I  Wish I could let go of this pain
Life's not always what it seems
Sometimes life is better living in a dream.

I once  met me a woman, she put me in my place
She said I was a chauvinist, an absolute disgrace
I'm one hundred percent male, I readily  admit
But just because it's true you shouldn't throw a fit
She reached into her purse, pulled out a can of mace
She put her finger on the trigger and shoved it in my face
My reflexes got the best of her, her aim was high and wide
She scared the hell right out of me to that I will confide
I love the female intellect to that I won't deny
I love the female form in every shape and size
If that makes me a pervert I'll wear the badge with pride
We'll leave it to the jury, it's their case to decide
You see  them all around you, there's wackos everywhere
The madness on the street is way beyond compare
The inmates run the asylum, I'm really not amused
Must be the golden age of the utterly confused.
