Love's Child

Love's child, reconcile 'Though your dreams are falling apart Love's child, catch a smile And hold it in your heart Well, she came into the Southwest With a broke heart and a torn dress Never reaching her Hollywood dreams From a dusty desert bus stop To the Old Man at the truck stop With a kindness that she'd never seen And she worked as his waitress for minimum wage Pretending each table was her center stage Love's child, reconcile 'Though your dreams are falling apart Love's child, catch a smile And hold it in your heart Well, he came down from the Badlands With a broke heart and a bad hand A young artist with no masterpiece Serving coffee and cold pizza There he saw his Mona Lisa Inspiration in him was released And he painted Ramona On The Whispering Sands And on occasion with a sweet kiss She would lend him a hand Love's child, reconcile 'Though your dreams are falling apart Love's child, catch a smile And hold it in your heart Well, she came into a new world A sweet bouncing eyes of blue girl And she grew with a song in her heart The Old Man cooked and Mom served tables Daddy helped when he was able And every night she would play on her guitar And she sang a sweet song 'bout the Whispering Sands Until some big-shot on a pit-stop Signed her up with his band Love's child, reconcile 'Though your dreams are falling apart Love's child, catch a smile And hold it in your heart Yes, hold it in your heart Down in your heart ©1987.
