Notes About The Poem

(June 25, 1963 to December 25, 2016)

George Michael

Listen to poem:
I have my pride now that I’m older
Kissing fools fast love and careless whispers
Just make me cold inside

Lord knows I hate to say goodbye
No I’d never ever dance again
What would it take to have you love me

Wake me up let’s give it one more try 
Pick up the pieces of this mended heart
Let me hold you one more time
Have faith ~

Won’t you say that you love me don’t let me go
We’ll keep praying for time to heal the pain

Don’t let the sun go down on me
How can I let you die of a failing heart
No~ not here and on a Christmas morning

Wham! Should have known
Time can’t last forever

Like Jesus to a child
There it seems in reach
It’s precious something special
I’ll keep trying to find some sacred peace
I’ll keep looking out for angels
Or the father figure that will save me
Deep down I’ve always known
Time won’t last forever

For some reason only the very special leave on Easter and Christmas; so I am thinking this is a tribute to a special person. Time has a way of shaking us up suddenly and without warning.
