Don’t Tell Me*

Don’t tell me love’s forever
And don’t promise love says Never.
We both know that’s not true
No matter what you do.

How I wanted her to stay
For more than just a day.
Her skin was smooth as silk
And pale and pure as milk.

She was my dream, my hope, my lover
And she sheltered beneath my cover.
I gave her everything…
When I held her she would sing.

Sing, oh sing to me
Touch me, set me free.
Sing, please sing to me
Touch me, set me free.

But by morning she was gone
And left me with this song.
Don’t tell me love’s forever.
And don’t promise love says Never.

Sing, oh sing to me
Touch me, set me free.
Sing, please sing to me
Touch me, set me free.



* I can write a song....but I have zero musical ability. I've long hoped to meet a musician with whom to partner. Sigh...maybe someday!
