she said don't stop singing she said.
she said i've got a disease of the throat she said.
she said my favorite place if i could fit are the pockets of this coat.

she said don't feel sleepy she said.
she said i had a dream last night she said.
she said before i wake i wish to kiss the stars and i just might.

she said don't take the highway she said.
she said the signs lead to something tragic she said.
she said i want to be like you, your eyes have specks of magic.

she said one more thing she said.
she said one more thing she said.
she said...she...she said...said...she said...she said
if i'm not off busy living, i might as well be dead.

she said don't look so sad she said.
she said i want to be a clown she said.
she said i hope the circus would once more come back into town.

she said don't move so fast she said.
she said this world's a pearl she said.
she said i've been so busy oyster hunting, i've lost this little girl.

she said don't lose the passion she said.
she said i can save this place she said.
she said i'll never move forward until i fall flat on my face.

and she said so many twisted things i thought she might have choked.
they're always in my head.
she said don't you forget me in your living.
i won't forget you when i'm dead.
she said...she...she said...said...she said...she said
i won't forget you when i'm dead.

and even when everything was wrong, and we were mad at the world, it was still beautiful.

I have no words ....just tears and a hug, if it helps.

many emotions, feelings and thoughts,  some
seeming to make one tear off into about
a half dozen directions....trying hard to
accomplish all..... Yes, sometimes we have
to fall before we can get up and reach our
goal...

Thanx for sharing this.
