Shades Of Gray And Blue
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, April 15,2011, @ 8: 35 PM

I was glancing at the beauty once in your eyes
The night mystically filled with butterflies
Days remembered comes as flashbacks
It was not a random encounter at the Tracks

A full Moon broke the stillness in the dark
A chilly night sitting by your side in the park
Hours flew as we chitchat
Can you remember any of that?

You I was trying to entertain
That night I kept on saying ascertain
Our laughter held back the rain
Our joyfulness we could no longer contain

There was so much magic in the air
Moonbeams' were shining in your hair
Moments enchanted we did share
I had put my heart in your tender care

I recall saying some pretty silly things
What joy those memories still brings
Staying out till it was really late
This I recollect was our first date

You and that blue station wagon
No one would expect what next would happen
Changing a flat by the side of the road
My heart at that moment you had just lassoed

Seasons changing came and went
I could not have received a greater present
Maybe it was just the ambiance of the starlight's
Maybe it was because of the afternoon delights

Stormy skies were in the forecast
Maybe I love too hard and too fast
Love like that could never last
Now I leave it all in the past

A love eternal and forever true
Those were the things I once offered you
I had not much for I was a mere pauper
But I promised you I would always look after

A cold wind that sweltering July blew
Shadows of gray had turned to a dusty blue
Treachery capsized my canoe
For the past, we can never undo

Remember how I use to call you Alice?
No longer I bear you any malice
As locks graying now turns to balding
I can now hear my true destiny calling
