Forevermore
A Song About Love and Saying Goodbye
(VERSE)
On a dark and stormy night
when I was five years old...
I found a girl about my age
who was all alone and cold.
She crawled out of the wreckage
but here folks both wound up dead.
As I turned to walk away
she held my hand and said:
(CHORUS)
Please don't leave me behind!
Lord only knows what's in store.
It's a miracle I found you
and I don't want you to go.
Please stay with me forevermore.
(VERSE)
That was a lifetime ago.
As you may have foretold...
She became my wife
and we were 85 years old.
I held her hand by her hospital bed.
As she closed her eyes I cried,
looked at her and said:
(CHORUS)
Please don't leave me behind!
Lord only knows what's in store.
It's a miracle I found you
and I don't want you to go.
Please stay with me forevermore.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
