Stand TallWhen I close my eyes I see your face,A picture of you comes to mind and Fills my empty space I try to stop the thoughts, stand Tall and give my back a brace, I open my eyes and catch you Fleeing in my Nightmares' Race, Ashes of what went wrong have Left a nasty acid taste, I pause at the window to look And remember, Last June, July, August, and September, And now it's December. A small town on a little bay A vacation turned into a longer stay Soft warm sand on my feet, Breezes and kisses my lips did open To greet. I know I am the one to blame, After a short time I knew it was A game, I tried real hard to make you change, To touch your heart was just out of range, My heart needs to touch the waves and ride, In my soul my love can't hide, The worst part is the shame I can't confide, Because of fear no one will be on my side |
My heart has battled the
Sickness, shame and pain, And now with tears it rains again, Your after shave lingers on even though I'm all alone, In my mind I hear the phone ring, I pick it up to hear the dial tone, The phone in my hand seems to cling, What I would give to have you call Square those shoulders and Stand tall! I wanted to tell you my love would always be near, Waiting to do battle with your next fear, I looked at your hand holding a cold beer, From the corner of my eye I saw you sneer, Up comes the Sun, I want to have fun, And I know my tears are done, My shoulders no longer weigh a ton, I move with grace out to make my exercise run, I pick up the pace, In the park, it's getting dark, And I meet a man that looks like Bert Parks, Watch out heart, I don't need another lark, Go home and put out the spark. |
