LISTEN

Thursday, June 23, 2016

Tomorrow, Friday, June 24, 2016, Jack and I will celebrate our 44^th Wedding Anniversary.  I re-wrote the lyrics to my song (LISTEN) today.  The original Listen was written by me when I was fifteen years of age:

LISTEN

Listen, listen, listen to my heart beat; it’s beating sounds of grief.

You told me that you wanted me, and that you love me so,

But, then, one day, I turned back to look, and that’s when I watched you go.

You walked with her and held her close, and looked into her eyes,

And I can almost hear your words right now; those sweet but cheating lies.

I know that I was treated wrong, made a fool of and was cheated,
But, Babe, I love you so much, I don’t care how I’ve been treated.

Listen, listen, listen to my heart cry, it’s crying out in pain.

Through these years, I’ve loved you so much; when you left I thought I’d go insane.

Girl, if you’re out there listening, well, there’s some things you ought to know:

My Angel and I want to know, why did you pick her Daddy out?

I know that I was treated wrong, made a fool of and was cheated,But, Babe, when you’re out on the town, well there’s a fool here who still loves you so.

So, listen, listen, listen to my heart beat...
