In July Do you see in July where we walked, you and I Down a hot dusty road as we wished that we rode? In a small Midwest town where each day wore a gown Of the leaves or the snow or the grass I would mow Do you hear in July where we talked, you and I On a soft grassy bank where my fishing boat sank? And I yelled and I cursed thinking this was the worst And you laughed at my fit while I tugged hard at it. Do you hear in July how we fought, you and I over something as silly as which farm was hilly? Or the colors we’d paint on our home that now ain’t Then we’d wonder at play, if we’d marry some day Do you think in July how we kissed you and I How our lips met in joy, as you tried to be coy, In the soft summer light as day faded to night, And the crickets in choir gave us feelings so dire Do you find in July that we’re not you and I? And the dreams that we fussed have gone down into rust Do you live? Are you well? I’m just some place in hell. Do you find in July that we’re not you and I? Do you...please? I do… [This message has been edited by kayjay (02-26-2003 08:54 PM).] |

Do you find in July that we’re not you and I? And the dreams that we fussed have gone down into rust Do you live? Are you well? I’m just some place in hell. Do you find in July that we’re not you and I? Time can do so much, and yet there is always something there to remind us. This made my eyes water...and my heart feel. *snif* |
