Cecilia Patterson Poet Lyric

Tonight With Drink In Hand

Tonight with a salty dog in hand
I sat and listen to old records of the past
I listen to words that so to my life does apply.

I wonder with thoughts rushing through my mind-
Where the years have gone
Oh how they have flown.

There was a time when I did so believe 
In love and it's wonders within
But now I must admit 
That was when I was young with age
And young with matunity.

Now I sat with drink in hand
And realize love only comes to the believer
Only to those who are willing to pay it's price.

Why must it be youth can't last forever
Why must it be we must accept the truth
That if you have loved once and been loved once
Then no more are you of a free wander
No more are you of a searching soul.

Now my glass is empty and it's time to refill
The records playing on
My minds' eye trying so hard to hide the truth
But with my youth gone
And a deeper knowledge taking it's place
I'll just take a drink and here's to you.-
