The Time of Me

I wish I’d never met you Never looked into your eyes I wish I’d never tasted That sweet taste of paradise I wish I’d never heeded The deep longing in your voice I wish I’d barred the entrance But your love left me no choice My little life is marked now Into B.Y. and A.Y. BEFORE YOU had no meaning And AFTER YOU made me cry B.Y. AND A.Y. haunt me Just a maze of misery The TIME OF YOU was heaven A resplendent symphony A kiss started each evening The sweet night tasted divine A caress had a purpose It nuanced of the sublime Each moment had me trembling Nerve endings in overload Giddy, and, oh, so helpless I’d give all and not withhold The time of YOU, sweet moments T’was a time I felt ALIVE Now A.Y. is all I have Tell me, how will I survive? I need the TIME OF YOU T.O.Y to take control I need to feel that rush now To love body and soul I know one day you’ll return For no other can compare You will want the TIME OF ME But, darling, I won’t be there I'll be at home in his eyes My passion will warm HIS bed He'll have the time of his life T.O.M ALL his...instead!
