The Shade of Blue

The sun is the spotlight…when I perform a fabulous song It’s like a disco ball above my head Swarms and swarms of fans surround me As I swiftly walk up on stage without hesitation My heart is pumping rapidly with anticipation The city lights aren’t in use…but the artificial lights are shown The spotlight shines down on me… Like the smiling sun when I trek the mountains happily But, you are the moon, You are the shade of blue...don't feel guilty You are the beautiful shade of blue...I want you to see I want you to see How amazing and wonderful you are to me I followed your voice… I followed His voice… Leaving me time to rejoice Not manipulating me like a worthless toy I'm no longer an immature boy, But a mature, sympathetic guy I know I can be pathetic...but I don't easily cry Don't weep, you strong sheep Just keep grazing in the land of delight, not lament We both got to repent... 'Cause you and I have taken him for granite Now, we're the shade of blue It sounds so familiar It’s very impressive and peculiar Swarm around Swarm around me Don’t make a sound… You buzzing bee – Don’t sting me with your jealousy I’d rather hear you delightfully sing in harmony With me…I wish it was meant to be Don’t chase away our vibrant victory You can share it with us… I won’t mind handing you a portion of ecstasy You’re a story that I’ve read When I get up on my somewhat neat bed I’ve read you many, many times already I’ve noticed a difference in you…please forgive me for being too carefree! In my heart’s opinion, you are as moving and clever as awesome rhymes How many times…how many times… Do I have to remind you about that? Do you need a thinking hat? I’ll chase after you like a cat, Trying to catch the rat By the tail…but it becomes a fail Our friendship will never decay or become stale Like milk that gets left on the counter for hours or days… Have I ruined your self-esteem? I don't scare if you lash out at me or scream In my face...I need to have a hint that you need space I know I can really hit a soft spot...but I wanna know just in case: Is everything OK or what? What's happening in your life, dear friend? Did I make you feel worse? i didn't mean to offend... I'll try to be kinder to you For you can't help being the shade of blue But, if you need someone to talk to about anything, Speak your mind...I'm opened to most everything! I’ve been scattering everywhere like cheerios on the kitchen floor Don’t lose contact with me… I want you to stay next to me today

16th on the list: Mysterious. I was anticipating that you'd go back to where you were during the first few lines but never did. It's like a performer had so much to think of and take in on his big night and nobody knew how the show went.

Wow David! the only thing I didn't like about this write it the mention of cheerios - the smell is rank : - ( lol - apart from that it is truly magnificent! Hugs Jan x
