What Did She Say
She kissed me hard and rolled out of bed
Gave me that funny look as she leaned her head
So I asked, " What's bothering you? "
The answer was ," She just didn't know what to do."
Her ideas struck me as some what strange
From the ones before she's a refreshing change
Saying if each day we only got the briefest of time
With her no matter what it would be just fine
As long as when at night she went to bed
One of my pillows was under her head
I couldn't help but asked if she didn't really want something more
She kissed me lightly saying I had no idea what was in store
Telling me she wasn't afraid of the hunt at all
And like or not one day I'd surely fall
Our arrangement hasn't been one night with some wine that's cheap
For her it was the start of building the things she wanted to keep
There was no competition and not much of a race
If I decided to run she was up for the chase
I listened to the words as I looked her right in the eye
She then kissed me again smiled and said Good Bye
Maybe she wanted my head in some kind of mess
Six hours latter and in my head the words are still fresh
No doubt she knew just what those words meant
Because the last 20 years together is how it's been spent
She's not on earth with us this given day
Yet I still hear all the words she had to say
I still see her face with her head at a tilt
Look around and you'll see everything that we built
It all happened so fast no time for Good Bye
Until I see her again for love there's no reason to try!
