Live, to Love Again…

After all these years, if I told you, I miss your smile, would you believe me?

If I told you I miss your touch,

If I told you I miss your voice,

If I told you I miss your eyes, would you believe me? If I told you I still think of you from time

to time, would you believe me?

It's something I've never felt since, maybe I'll never again,

But,

A photo of fingers Intertwined, still I feel the pain,

A loving mother lost in time, I've got to live to love again,

Days, months, years, the percy sledge song has never been the same,

I guess, when a man did love a woman, I'd always see your face...

The slow dances in the kitchen, every heartbeat from you, I was pinching,

Butterfly after butterfly, every look was like the first time, feeling, without thinking,

The anniversary dates with pineapple trees in the sitting room,

We didn't have much money, so the kids had rocket lollies called zoom.

Our angels are learning to fly,

The clouds tell me, when I look to the skies,

I've no desire to feel that aching pain,

That's why I have to live to love again,

I need to live, to love again.

I sometimes wish, it wasn't so,

Now and again, I miss the family home.

Fingers bonded by silver and gold,

Words of love, honour and obey,

A nostalgic tear falls after a tired day,

I still wonder, if you're safe in the cold.

Another thought,

Another emotion,

As winter draws in, Christmas becomes a family focus,

You're missed,

After all these years, if I told you, I miss your smile, would you believe me?

It's true, after all these years I still feel you day after day,

But,

I need to live,

I need to learn,

I need to live, to love again...
