Embrace Not the Blues of Yesterday - Chapter 2

Let the blessed breeze blow…
I want you to stay for a while
Please don’t go – I wanna let you know
That I love you…I’d run the extra mile
Just to see you smile once more
I swore in my heart that I won’t hurt you anymore
There is peace in abundance in store
Change is a challenging chore
I’m dancing like crazy on the dance floor
Without a care, 
Without a worry on my mind
Can you turn up the music just a hair? 
I don’t wanna be left behind
Slow down if you can be so kind
The DJ turned up the music
It was so not upbeat and kind of therapeutic

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

Embrace the blues of yesterday
Embrace the highs of tomorrow
Embrace the blues
In the mirror, I see my blurred reflection

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
