LoveHappy

March 20, 2016

yyylovehappy

She’ll be nothing like I pictured her to be

Neil Young, Lookin’ for a Love

Didn’t expect her beauty
From her bones to her skin
Didn’t expect the galaxy
To suddenly spin

Didn’t expect her smile
With its magical power
Didn’t expect her laugh
To resonate for hours

Didn’t expect to quiver
When she looks me in the face
Didn’t expect her poise
Didn’t expect her grace

Didn’t expect her countenance
To fill me up with joy
Didn’t expect to frolic
Like a goofy little boy

Didn’t expect to ever be
This silly and this sappy
Didn’t know there was such a thing
As permanent lovehappy

Glad

March 5, 2016

wwwwwwglad

I’m glad for the glade
I’m glad for the dew
I’m glad for the sunshine
I’m glad I met you

The world is lovely
The world is sad
That was the best night
I ever had

I’m glad for the mountains
I’m glad for the sky
But I won’t be happy
Until I’m you guy

Put the World in its Place

February 5, 2016

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyman woman

Time was away and somewhere else

Louis MacNeice, Meeting Point

Together in a room
With no one else around
We dance to a tune
That doesn’t make a sound

Where dreamers rhapsodize
Inside a cozy space
With my eyes locked in your eyes
We put the world in its place

really, really, really, really cute

December 31, 2015

You mesmerized me
Strumming your lute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I got an ache so
Stunning and acute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I’d give everything I got
To taste your fruit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I spend every minute
Planning my pursuit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

Down in Beaumont, up in Boston
Out in Butte
There ain’t another woman
Half as cute

I’m dying here
But you don’t give a hoot
You already know you’re really, really cute

Sixty-Three Percent Insane

December 17, 2015

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacrazy

She slides across
My lonely view
And there ain’t nothing
I can do
I pine and fret
My silent plea
For a love
That cannot be

I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad

A friendly word
A wayward smile
Lights my soul up
For a while
Till I remember
Who I am
A peon and
A hired hand

I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad

Never Wanna Be Away From You

November 12, 2015

Never wanna be away from you
You won’t be lonely any more
Never wanna be away from you
You’re the one I waited for

Never wanna be away from you
Without you I have no life
Never wanna be away from you
I quit my job and left my wife

Never wanna be away from you
I’m sick and dizzy when you’re gone
Never wanna be away from you
Pitched my tent on your front lawn

Never wanna be away from you
POE-lease say I gotta go
Never wanna be away from you
The truest love I’ll ever know

Tell Me Where It Hurts

August 7, 2015

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhurt

tell me where it hurts
you don’t have to tell me why
maybe you don’t know
don’t be afraid to cry

tell me where it hurts
you don’t need me to reply
i’m just gonna listen
just gonna be nearby

tell me where it hurts
bleed it till it’s dry
i’m not gonna judge you
remember i’m your guy

tell me where it hurts
where it went awry
together we can heal
together we’ll get by

Figure it out

March 31, 2015

download-5

 

You’re a real sweet guy
You treat a lady right
So let’s get together
And warm up the night
I’m ready to romp
I’m ready to rumble
I’m ready to hit
The hay for a tumble

I can’t say
If we’re gonna work out
So let’s have some fun
While we figure it out

We can give it a go
And keep sweet company
Before we start sharing
Our whole history
Are you ready for me?
Cuz I’m ready for you
But I ain’t in the mood
For an interview

I can’t say
If we’re gonna work out
So let’s have some fun
While we figure it out

I Wanna Study French and Sanskrit

640px-Mt._Kilimanjaro_12.2006

I wanna study French and Sanskrit
I wanna spend a week at the Louvre
I wanna read some Russian novels
I wanna spend some time with you

I wanna hike Kilimanjaro
I wanna see Timbuktu
I wanna have a summer safari
I wanna spend some time with you

I wanna end global warming
I wanna end injustice, too
I wanna buy the world a soda
I wanna spend some time with you

I wanna write a Hollywood movie
I wanna play for the Lakers, too
I wanna have a billion dollars
I wanna spend some time with you

There are a whole lotta things
That I’m never gonna do
But I’m gonna spend
Some time with you
