Love is everything (after Young and Courtnage)

If I had 9 dollars
and 7 months
I'd buy you all the love
I could

I'd invest
and grow
flowers
the way you
would
fresh
into life

Born into the
quenching
fire
the lightning
touch and me

If I had 9 dollars
and 7 months
I'd want to
watch the full
moon rise
telling me the
story of love

If I had 9 dollars
and 7 months
I'd ask them to
play the way you
dance again

And the bunny rabbit
sings

"When we were strangers
I watched you
And when we became lovers
I loved you"

And the bunny rabbit
sings

"Together there is more
together there is more"

If I had 9 dollars
and 7 months
of waiting I'd do it all over again
together with all my heart

And if I could, I'd secure absolute freedom
with 9 dollars and 7 months

A place for your glorious shining beauty

And the bunny rabbit sings

"Love is everything"

in tennis, love is nothing.

edit this more. IMHO, it's almost great, but not yet. :)

As your friend Roberts, I neither expect nor want your humble opinions.

I want the often painful truth.

Humility is for your actions I would argue.

:)

Something I need to work on myself likely!

I like the idea of "securing" absolute freedom.
How right-wing of you C-Dog!
