Remembering those
from yesterday
Leaving us behind
in memories wake

Who's to understand
the tragedy of life
Only able to take
one day at a time

We will shed our tears
and spread our sorrows
As not a one of us
is promised tomorrow

Darling, you need never feel blue,
I'll slice up the sun
And serve it on a platter for you.

I have this watch with no hands on it
So it never has to quit
As I've found out when it comes to life
That time is irrelevant

And that's what my watch reminds me of
With my reflection in its face
That all the time in the world
Is not enough if you don't live today

I check my watch quite frequently
And the only one I see
Is the only one of my concern
And that my friend is me

I'm now in the business selling watches
With reflections but no hands
To help those in need to realize
There is no time for demands

Take all the time that you like
This watch is custom made
With no hands but the reflection
To remind today's the day

Allow me to explain who she is
Before I get too far into this
She is the memory inside of the kiss
And so you don't have to guess the rest

She is the moment that you hold on
The thought when it's fully grown
The very center of the rumbling storm
Where the wind always sideways blows

She is both the disease and the cure
The basic need inside the order
The forest deep speaks kindly of her
For all that she is worth

She is the ride that comes with the thrill
The child in time that can not sit still
The meaningful climb to the top of the hill
She's dressed to ****

She's the direction that keeps coming up
The long due confession that unties the knot
The very essence of never enough
The smile that tells you it's love

And when that love is added up
She is the total to the whole sum
Starting off with number one
She is the song to be sung

I hope this helps you understand
All that she is and all that she can
Taking all this, in all that is left
As nothing else need be said

Goldenrod in bloom
Bunny hopping through the woods
Acorns fall from oak
