Forget
It’s okay to forget me when I'm gone When I am no longer among you Please be happy and keep on I know it will be hard and you may feel blue Go on living your life Get outside and enjoy the sunshine You can even find a new wife Don't go looking for me in a sign Live your life with ease Don't dwell on your loss Remember to stop and feel the breeze Don't loose hope again our paths may cross But may if you wouldn't mind Remember me from time to time |
My First Lover
What is this feeling that is upon me, I wonder what has overcome, I am filled with glee One day I hope you notice me, Oh, how lovely that would be Everything I see is so much brighter, I have never been the lover just the fighter I’m too nervous to speak, I grow anxious and my knees go weak Butterflies are in my tummy, Wow, I’m starting to sound like a dummy Every time I am in your presence, I just worry if I’m going to have your acceptance I do my hair and make up for you, Even write poems starting with roses are red violets are blue I see you standing over there, I gain courage and say a little prayer Time to tell you how I feel, How my feelings for you is so unreal As I start to get near, I see another girl whispering in your ear You two start to walk off hand in hand, Well, that wasn’t what I planned You look back at me, and you two start to flee I feel my eyes start to water, my face is getting hotter My body is starting to ache, I guess this is my first heartbreak I can’t get myself to smile, I guess I did not fit your style I didn’t see this coming, I should’ve never tried loving I feel empty and not so very pretty How long am I supposed to hurt, Every time I see you and her flirt? I don’t feel butterflies in my tummy, Now I really am a dummy I guess I’ll never get to discover What it feels to be a lover |
