MY LOVE

When I was young and in my time I surely took my fill I lived it on the line, scarred memories linger still But the years have slowed me down, I'm fading by the day Things I used to long for, don't mean that much today Though it's strange how love grows How it ebbs and it flows... I have a light that shines for me, burning bright, burning endlessly From the lunacy of youth to the normalcy of now She loved me through it all she loved me anyhow This flame has never died, this flame has never died. And I for my own part I do the best I can But I suffered from the sins that make a man a man I shunned my wayward ways then started out anew Now I'm seeing out my days in mindfulness with you Though it's strange how love grows How it ebbs and it flows... I have a light that shines for me, burning bright, burning endlessly Though fortune flares and fades in triumph and dismay I loved her through it all I loved her anyway This flame has never died, this flame has never died.

I'm glad to hear it Louis! I love 'lunacy/normalcy,' and '...walked the devil's road.' Not as improbable as you might think... A super piece! Keith
