Walking down the moonlit shore
Thinking of your kiss, wanting more
Tracks in the sand, quickly washed away
A blank slate, for a new, different day
...

straight black hair to her shoulders
makes me feel much less older
her radiant smile and bright green eyes
seem to harbor some new surprise
...

Does he have to resemble a God or idol?
Does she have to have the looks of a model?
What do these things really have to do......
With the one that's right for you?
...

I wandered through this life aimlessly
Doing whatever I wanted, shamelessly
Never considering what it could be
Or caring what others felt about me
...

I met her just the other day
She impressed me in so many ways
Thinking of how I could get her in my life
Even possibly making her my wife
...

Days come to pass when I'm feeling alone
Dreading the constant ring of the phone
Hoping no knock on the door will sound
Praying that no one on my window will pound
...

A brother I have that I don't claim
Really to me, he brings my family shame
No time does he have for the rest of us
Few would cry if he got hit by a bus
...

Rainy days are here again
I feel the droplets driven by the wind
Bringing back the same old depression
My heart suffering the compression
...

I've loved and lost
Never considering the cost
I've bought and sold
Not thinking of getting old
...

Thinking I'd harm myself in some way
My family tried to Baker Act me the other day
Little did they realize
I wouldn't go because of their lies
...
