It Was All Of That
I thought it was the words,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the feelings,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the insight,
--- but it was more than that
And I thought it was the understanding,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the lyric,
--- but it was more than that
I then thought it was the melody,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the joy they brought,
--- but it was more than that
And I thought it was the talk I talked,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the times,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the friendship,
--- but it was more than that
I thought it was the love,
--- but it was even more than that
And on the day that I stopped
thinking,
The questions disappeared as if never
asked,
---and it was all of that!
