Put Your Head On My Shoulder

I went to the dance, all alone and shy I sat in the corner, I have no idea why They all seemed to be laughing and high Dancing and having good times As I sat in the corner, singing like a mime I saw her over by the exit door Tears in her eyes, sadness for sure I saw in her heart The loneliness that was mine I understood at once, this was my time To be a gentleman and do what’s right So I took her slowly into my arms I said so softly Put your head on my shoulders I held her in silence As she drained all her tears Then the song ended and I let her go She smiles so sweetly and said thank-you dear Joe Leaving me here, to dance alone I have to confess it felt very nice To consol a sweet gal Even she left me with no vice Giving it seems, is its own reward Even for the lonely, my happiness restored Bonus Stanza 1 Thirty years later, as I arrive home I kiss my love on her enticing lips Her blonde hair waves with her lovely hips I love her still, like long ago When I said so softly Put your head on my shoulder Bonus Stanza 2 A place to cry Put your head on my shoulder It doesn’t matter why Only angels need to know That you are special This is simply so Notes This idea came to me reading one of Dave Woods poems, listening to Paul Anka and a poem called “A place to cry” by Kathryn Ramirez.
