A Cool Drink of Water

Hook: (like a church hymn) hum, hum hum, hum oh! hum, hum you were my cup of joy my cool drink of water the love I, needed most and, It was so long ago oh! it was so far into my past and I, still can seem to let you go and still I,see your face and still I, feel the pain of having you, not there I,can't remember was it the love in your eyes (stronger and deeper) or was it, your golden boy lady killer charms that had all the girls knock-in at your front door but memories do fade and time plays new games, and each new year it, get harder to remember your angelic face but this hell keeps me lock away (self-anger and pain) not knowing how in the hell did I, let you get away Hook: (like a church hymn) hum, hum hum, hum oh! hum, hum you were my cup of joy my cool drink of water the love I, needed most and I, could not stop time from taking you away

This is a fantastic read, Verlecia. "your golden boy lady killer charms that had all the girls knock-in at your front door " - so aptly penned!
