For A Quarter

I wrote you a love song
A very special kind
I used only love words
AII of them I could find.

I said how I miss you
How lonely I have been
How I hope that one day
I’ll have your love again.

When I had you with me
I said, “I didn’t care.”
I just didn’t know how sad
I’d be without you there.

I’m sorry that I waited
Until it was too late
Now, I must take the blame
Can’t say that it was fate.

It has been a long time
That we have been apart
But my love keeps living
And growing in my heart.

I know you think my words
Don’t have too much meaning
But my life and my soul
Are all in this song I sing.

So, when you want to hear, “I love you.”
Find a nickelodeon
And drop a quarter in the slot
Then, I will tell you once again.
