Just One More Time Before We Part And Say Goodbye
Sometimes
When we have a loving relationship
Life gets in the way
The pressures of work money worries
Piles of unpaid bills
Not enough time for each other
The relationship erodes and folds
You try but you go separate ways
When we were poor my love and I
Had nothing
We scrimped and saved
For the little we had
Things started to change
When we got rich
And from nothing
We had everything we'd want to need
A bigger house two new cars
And instead of smoking cigarettes
I then smoked cigars
Gave big tips in restaurants and fancy hotels
Holiday'ed in Nashville
And on stage played guitar
The gap between us just got to wide
And the relationship we'd built together
Became a stormy place
And our love just like a rose began to die
Yes we had everything we needed
Accept each other
And ourselves
We finally managed to bury the hatchet
And put our troubles on the shelf
To save ourselves
Packing up to go our separate ways
The love we had was buried under a thin layer of snow
Both looking at our wedding photograph
Broke our hearts in too
With tears in our eyes
Held each other for a hug
Feeling her warm body
Her heart next to mine
I could feel her heart race
Matching mine
Then she looked up at me
With her dewy limpid eyes
And whispers
"'Let's make love for the last time''
We made love that day
Both our bodies soothingly warm
Skin so soft
Looking at other
Through brand-new eyes
That spoke and smiled
The love passion and a need so strong
Just as those sweet warm feelings
When we first met
So wrapped up in love
Two eclipsed into one
Alone
Under the same sun
I looked at her
Her face looked so beautiful
Her playful cheeky eyes
Smiling like the sun
Saying I need and want you
To pleasure and take me right now!
We spent the rest of the day
Kissing giving sharing and caring
With such so much hunger
And tenderness and finesse
Weaving bodies skin-to-skin
Soft butterfly kisses
Awakening a new dawn
A new pain so sweet
As we both enjoyed the lavish feast
Drinking intoxicating heady summer wine
We both melted into each other
The rush of euphoric emotions
Overflowing and rekindling the intense fire
After we'd climbed and reached the mountain peak
And came down
We lay in others' welcoming pleading arms
The warm embers still aglow
Her arm around me
Her sweet head gently nuzzled upon my chest
Made me feel like I was a giant
And a man
Her lustrous silken hair
Hanging and cascading down
Listening to the throbbing beat of my heart
Drifting off and sailing
On calm water
Somewhere within a distant dream
We spent time kissing each other
With so much sincerity and honesty
Joining two hearts together again as one
And whispering how much we missed
And loved each other
Appreciated and valued
Each other more than any treasure
Trinket or gold
We mutually agreed to stay together
Forever and beyond
We both realised the truth as the Beatles had said
"'Money Can't buy you love''
There are much more important things
Totally free
We all need money to live
And eat
But we remembered what was really important
When once we had nothing
The well was dry
But we had each other
We put first
And although we struggled
We were happy
What good is selling your soul
For wealth
And losing each other.
"Inspired by a friend's Mother. " We were much happier, when we had nothing, just a stone cottage.''
