Let us move forward to the past
bring back what was and make it last
What the present is, it’s not a gift
The love between us holds a rift
And the future holds so little promise
Our thoughts both
share a doubting Thomas
let’s slip back to where we began
one lovely woman…one loving man
Remember how our first kiss felt
your knees grew weak
I thought you’d melt
Into a puddle at my feet
I’ve never tasted a kiss so sweet
and we’ve embraced for many years
we conquered far
more powerful tears
must we erase and leave no traces
of the love that brought
joy to our faces
Or can we wander back
to when we knew
that you loved me and I loved you
It cannot be that hard to do
love is the strongest bonding glue
separation will leave residues
to haunt us, fill our hearts with blues
Let’s both put on
our walking shoes
and bid this angst
filled time adieu
just take my hand I’ll go with you
forward to the past
where we’ll renew
from this cruel time
that sadly transformed
into lonely bodies l
eft less warmed
we’ll take it slow
back down that road
and shed today’s
quite heavy loads
we’ll find a way
from days of old
when you made
me your prince
from a lowly toad
anything less will make
may my heart explode
with grief that offers no relief
but baby, I ‘m of the belief,
that you as well agree with me
to reclaim the past,
let the present be
something unknown
we’ve yet to build
a future that will still be filled
with precious love…not overkill
But I’ll stand by you
regardless till
you make that choice
or longer still
in mourning for your precious loss
my own mistakes my albatross
as all my tomorrows
share the cost
of sleepless nights,
cold bed sheets tossed
across the space
that once held you
if that is what you feel will l do
but I am praying it’s not true.
the past awaits
where we can find
all of that love
we left behind
Let us move forward to the past
bring back what was
and make it last
What the present is,
it’s not a gift
The love between us holds a rift
And the future holds
so little promise
Our thoughts both
share a doubting Thomas
let’s slip back to where we began
one lovely woman…one loving man
One lovely woman ....one loving man\
"We can do it baby
no if's buts
or maybe's
and it's a love
worth saving
I promise you."
