MICHAEL’S SONG

All my days
Be they filled with praise
Or filled with doubt,
All I can think about
Is what you wore
On the day you swore
You would never go
(Lavender).
Even so...

I have my ways
To get through these days.
I work...
I cook ...
Finished a real good book...
And friends...ah, yes,
(And your black-brown dress)
Lots of movies,
Look -- finished a real good book.
But I don't go anywhere...
I don't see anyone...
Without planning and rehearsing
Things I'll say
And things I'll not say
On the day we somehow, look...

I know things change
(No perfume).
Things change.
They change for good.
Pretty much ,
Change is good.
And memories fade
(And your boots were suede
Ad your velvet vest--burgundy).
Who'd have guessed
That I don't go anywhere...
I can't face anyone...
I don't care anyway...
I don't dare to see you...
Though I ache to...
When I do I'll tell you such lies...
And then continue
All my days
Merely paraphrasing days with you.
