Where did you get such a dirty face,
My darling dirty-faced child?
I got it from crawling along in the dirt
And biting two buttons off Jeremy's shirt.
I got it from chewing the roots of a rose
And digging for clams in the yard with my nose.
I got it from peeking into a dark cave
And painting myself like a Navajo brave.
I got it from playing with coal in the bin
And signing my name in cement with my chin.
I got if from rolling around on the rug
And giving the horrible dog a big hug.
I got it from finding a lost silver mine
And eating sweet blackberries right off the vine.
I got it from ice cream and wrestling and tears
And from having more fun than you've had in years.
My love for you is like the raging sea,
So powerful and deep it will forever be.
I want to love again,
but my heart will not obey.
I want to be happy,
but
You broke my heart
And won't repair it
You took my love
and won't give it
There's none to compare to you,
When we're apart I feel so blue.
I
Who are you?
Where is the guy that I once knew?
Where did my friend go
an
Laid my head upon your chest
Your arms encircled me,
It was, My Love, as if we we
Some people view forgiveness,
As a virtue for the weak.
An act of Mercy undeserve
You make me laugh and smile
when I need a cry, even if it's only for a little while.
You came to me when you were sad
And I was stupid to take you back
I thought you
Life's brevity, so bittersweet,
depends upon just one heartbeat.
Brief as dusk an
