Surprise

11/14/20 Girl, look me in my eyes I'm not like all these other guys I know, it's a surprise I'm actually wise And not what you thought was advertised Don't worry about it, it's fine Because I get overlooked every single time The underdog by design Due to assumptions of nearly every kind Judging a book by its cover, with the eyes, and then their mind I've been more than willing to try And that's no lie Before opportunity passes by And I Eventually die Mind Body, soul and spirit may fly High Into the sky Or just lie still, right beside Where it was last left, as we still have no explanation why Please girl, dry your eyes, don't cry I will stay by your side There doesn't need to be any tribute, or final goodbye While you can, make the best of it, because time Continues to fly right on by For a long time, I tried to be kind Did little good, don't need to remind Far too long I continued to be blind Even though, I knew with life there is no rewind If needed I'd make a beeline For the tree line And end up near or away from the Creekside I can really see that she fine Don't count me out, give me a shout and be mine Girl, don't leave me in a state of decline Let's go into the moonlight, on horses we ride Doing whatever else we decide If it really seems prime If you'd like, you can be Bonnie and I'll be Clyde These fools, always make room for tea time This ain't the place or time for a peace sign Won't get far with a weak mind In a world full of much more than canines and felines
