Love Life
I Came across a man that was drinking his wine,
He was beat, not bleeding, but out of time,
And he looked all alone,
He said "son, I've lost my one and only,
I Know Forever I'll Be lonely,
Without her in my life,
I'll surely die by a knife,
Right into this heart of stone.
I Told him "I don't know what to tell you,
I couldn't put myself in your shoes,
I've never lost someone so dear,
I've never faced such great fear…."
This man was plagued with great sorrow,
Longing to have back yesterday's tomorrow,
This man had a smile but his look was as hopeless as time,
He looked like he'd reached the end of his line,
And he said " Boy, you've got to Love your life,
Like there's no tomorrow in store,
Expect today and nothing more..
I knew for sure I could not go on,
But now I see that I was wrong,
To think that she'd be gone,
She'll be with me all through the night,
To guide my dreams into loves sight ,Once more."
So here I am at home again,
Smoking a cigarette, lost inside my head again,
When he told me his story I saw red,
I know now what I should have said,
"Its alright to remember, cause you didn't forget,
its alright to let go without a regret,
She knew that you loved her, that, you made sure,
But unfortunantly love is no cure,
And every bit of it could not bring her back,
Every bit of it couldnt cushion the punch that death packs,
But rest assured, you will see her again,
In some far off place you will find your lost friend."
