~ Cool hand of a Girl ~

Cool hand of a girl, I say,

Cool hand of a girl,

Ever ached for affection?

Ever longed for touch?

Ever cared by who?

Just long as it's

in memory of the one that makes you need,

A Cool Hand.

He's touching there

though he's nowhere near,

Gone are the days of waiting

to see him again,

Gone are the days he would be the first,

Gone are the days you two

could share what he first asked for

when you met!

Gone are the days,

that you should have experienced

something good and wonderful

together.

Your body has moved on,

it has been scarred, it has been harmed,

it has been marred,

for what it knows

that you share in pen on paper

what it passes on in pages of books,

words many can read and understand.

You decide, Cool hand of a Girl,

Cool hand of a Girl I say,

Yes?

No,

Maybe?

Cool hand of a girl

Divorcing the man who never came a knocking,

To love me, to love it,

to feel it, to stroke it, pet it, make it his own,

to share in love,

Instead,

the future arrived

and now I am as far East as I can get from repeating

the touch;

The place where it started,

the conversation once had, that was thought to be light hearted;

Damaged the way it did, for the happiness and Marriage

that doesn't exist, that didn't take place,

because how could I know

what he was thinking,

if all it was,

was 3 days together?

Where the conversation started and what he first asked for

when we met!

When, YES is the word as many have heard is what I said,

SO why then after such a whirlwind of a wonderful time,

When it counted, when it mattered,

did I not see his love again?

Why did he never come upon me,

why then didn't we come to be?

And so it ends on

The Cool hand of a Girl,

Lasting only part of a summer,

after he and I met!

And now I grow and head to a place

where I will venture to new lands

and leave him there to find the

SAME COOL HAND of a GIRL

I left there!

Ever ached for affection?

Ever longed for touch?

Ever cared by who

Over the love missing in you?

Just as long as it's in the memory of the one that makes you need

A Cool Hand of a Girl!

He's touching there, though

he's nowhere near,

Gone are the days of waiting to see him again,

Gone are the days he would have been the first,

Gone are the days

You could have shared in what he asked for when you met!

You decide,

Because of Yes!

Cool Hand of a Girl,

Cool Hand of A Girl,

I say,

Cool Hand of a Girl!
