Don't know why this came out this way but it has to do with all the arguing that's been going on here at the block lately.....I dunno, just feel this way right now? He he, give peace a chance......I know, I can argue with the best of them, it just happens.... When I think of all the good wines I have tasted, I loved those good wines. When I think of all the down time that I've wasted, Can't change those down times, When I was drinking, my shallow thinking, Thought I knew the right thing, But it came to be frightening, The answers I kept using, Finally found conclusion, In a rushing mountain stream. When I think of all my girlfriends that were lovers, They were such good friends. When I think of all the old friends I've seen covered, I miss those old friends When I saw them dying, Never hid my crying, I hear them talking, Lovers and friends often, In memories remaining, Tender never fading, From the choice inside of me. Bridge: As the bell tolls sounding passing time, And seasons bring new mysteries. I hear those old friends cry, In that rushing mountain stream, I thank God while I'm alive, They're waiting there for me....... When I think of all the deep sleep I've been missing, I need that deep sleep. When I think of all the good deeds I kept wishing, I do those good deeds. Love I was faking, Hearts I was breaking. Now I'm realizing, To myself no lying, Old friends never change, Their spirit stays the same, It's the choice inside of me. Ain't doin nothin at all |

Your heart makes the right choice to keep in memory those loved ones. The melancholy is softened by your positive affirmation that you are DOING the deeds you wished for. Perfect for a song! Love, Margherita  |
