Embrace Not the Blues of Yesterday - Chapter 1

I want you to be free Free like a boat that gaily steers through the waves of desolate tears You reduced me to tears Then, happiness draws near Now, we both have no fear A happier song plays on the radio I see the sunrays; in your eyes, they triumphantly glow With blazing might Tonight We’re dancing like crazy on the dance floor Without a care, Without a worry on our mind…I implore you to shine on some more Can you turn up the music just a hair? You don’t wanna be left behind Slow down, darling, if you can be so kind The DJ turned up the music It was such a downdrag, and yet so therapeutic Gladness fills the air We stare at the disco ball We dance without a care Together, we stand tall I see a universe and a tragedy in reverse In your eyes, I gaze so tenderly There is peace in every verse The truth will set you free Embrace not me…embrace me not… x2 I don’t wanna be rooted to the spot and rot Embrace me not, sorrow of yesterday’s tomorrow… Embrace not me…embrace me not…x2 I love to sing in the middle of the night Midnight lusts fill the air tonight and our love, entwined, blows away with the blessed breeze like a kid’s spectacular kite I heard your voice and I screamed with joy Once, in a fun-loving dream, I was a handsome boy, Holding hands with a beautiful girl; I blushed and hugged her She accepted my hugs and we exchanged laughter… Embrace not me…embrace me not… x2 I don’t wanna be rooted to the spot and rot Embrace me not, sorrow of yesterday’s tomorrow… Embrace not me…embrace me not…x2 Or you’ll be doused in dismay or worse – you’ll have eternal sorrow I want the reds, the yellows and the oranges to stay Stay with me, greens, violets and blues and maybe gray Embrace not the blues of yesterday Come stay, sundrenched day I sway with the blessed breeze My mind, soul and heart is at ease I love to dance in a love-entangled trance I love to embrace you, but I must take flight I love to fight the good fight, Even though I’m faced with this circumstance This tragic hardship and twisted romance
