 I’m not asking for an eternity,
One day at a time would be alright with me As long as I can spend each day with you Doing the things that two people do A minute could be an eternity to me And each day would linger without an end, The sun would not provide any light of day If you were no longer my friend As a lover no other woman could compare To what you have given me and what you were able to share, You energized my life in every possible way, You captured my emotions and at last, held them at bay So what’s an eternity, how long could it possibly be? When just one day away from you Makes me crazy and reckless, a virtual fool, When all I want is another dance, to dance through time with you, Just another chance An eternity for me could be just another endless day Of deep regrets and shattered dreams That hover over me like a lead balloon, Ready to fall, to cast my doom An eternity for me could be just another week Just one of fifty two, that takes me farther away from you, Farther than I thought I would ever be, Just one more endless week, leading to fifty three An eternity for me could be a year When hope abandons me and I realize once and for all That we have now gone our separate ways, No more shared winter, spring, summer or fall An eternity for me could be no more restless nights in bed Wrestling for pillows, sheets and covers over our head And no more silly talks and laughter, and murmurs under our breath, Just now lonely restless nights for me instead, a lonely epithet An eternity for me could be every moment I think it through How I will ever find the heart to get through another day without you And how absurd the greatest gift I ever had Went from the very best thing in my life to the very bad An eternity for me would the constant nagging thought Of never again, having someone as special in my life And how my life would play out as a solitary man, Just me against the world, a painful lonely stand So please don’t go anywhere without me, please don't give it a thought, We are partners in our life, we should live our lives as they were meant to be And as the earth rotates around the sun We are destined to spend our lives as one …… IN ETERNITY ……

 I destroyed my iPhone,
It’s not been a very good day, We bounced it from our mattress And watched it find its way, It broke in several pieces As it hit the floor, My gal she said “it’s okay, Cause I won’t be calling you no more” So why have an iPhone? When the one you love won’t call no more, She could e-mail me or snail mail me to tell me what’s in store But what these lack, I know damn well sure, Is the sound of her lovely voice that rains like sugar pure I walked by the Apple Store And it was crowded always still, Like Jobs was giving away gold against the corporate will I gave my number and placed myself in line And wished I had a lot more money than I had leisure time, The line was buying iPhones, iPods and iPads too, By the time it was my turn, I turned sad and blue I slipped out the Apple store And ran to Joe’s American Bar and Grille, And downed a Tequila chaser before I got too ill, I had another one, and then one more after that, The bartender told me not one more, He’ll not read my epitaph, I reached for my iPhone and found it wasn’t there and was suddenly overcome by loneliness and fear A man without a iPhone Is a man without a life When no one is reaching out, not a girlfriend nor a wife, So why have an iPhone, When the one you love don’t call no more, She can e-mail me or snail mail me to tell me what’s in store But what these lack I know damn well sure Is the sound of her lovely voice that rains like sugar pure  It’s understood
You don’t feel good, I’ve seen it in your eyes, I’ve heard your alibis, And I fully understand, I’m part of the problem, Because I’m your loving man. I’m not leaving, That’s not what I do, I’ll stand here solid as a tree, Because leaving you Is for a lesser man than me. It hasn’t been a very good year For me as well, To be honest with you, It’s been a living hell. My job, I know now, That’s where I am going to stay, I’ll never be a big shot, I’ll never lead the way. I’ll just be one of those Who fell between the cracks, Fall between the holes, Sometimes I just want to go away, In fact, I think about it each and every day. But I’m not leaving, That’s not what I do, I’ll stand here solid as a tree Because leaving my job and you Is for a lesser man than me. To be truthful, The years have worn me thin, I’ve been knocked down a hundred times But managed to get up again, My body has been bruised And my mind is frail, Sometimes I feel I don’t have a clue But I’ve run life’s hard roads, And stuck on them like glue. But I’m not leaving, That’s not what I do, I’ll stand here solid as a tree, Because leaving everything In my life behind Is for a lesser man than me. |
