A Soft Place to Fall So many years we let slip by taking two roads not knowing why I need you now soon making a call tonight I'm looking for a soft place to fall There were heartaches from many lovers past looking for some meaning none there to last In you I always knew and my loney eyes saw a warm heart and a soft place to fall did'nt mean to hurt you then so long ago feelings that swept me made confusion grow you knew me best it seems after all coming to you now for a soft place to fall you're always waiting with tender embrace a smile so warm upon your face in my eyes I see you standing so tall there to give me a soft place to fall when nights are over and comes the dawn before the daylight you know i'll be gone until the next time when I make the call you'll know i'm needing a soft place to fall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Danny Holloway [This message has been edited by Danny Holloway (edited 06-29-2000).] |

Beautiful! In absensce of that soft place to fall, you might try a stout shoulder to cry on. Very Nice. jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Oh yes, I remember it well  To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

DH, Loved it the first time I saw it. Great choice for the book. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |
