The Life And Times Of...

The Life And Times Of...

by Phill Williams  23/04/09

A long time ago when you fell into my arms,
When we both fell in love, and that love was the start;
The beginning of life all fresh and all new.
So the old walls came down and my kingdom was you.

For you were my teacher, my tutor, my life.
My quest for the gold, and my goal was in sight.
For free of the shackles, the guilt and the lies,
Deception and confusion, break the bonds and the ties.

No fear of tomorrow remained in my heart.
The bad things that were, saw them all fall apart.
Apart from the corruption that began to come good.
Till the seeds of destruction began growing anew.

As the cold winds of winter blew themselves out.
And the warm breeze of springtime saw apple blossom sprout.
Yet depression sinks deeper feel the weight of despair.
I would fall to destruction, if you were not there.

There was never a songbird who's call I'd prefer,
To the sound of your heartbeat, your breath in my ear.
As long as we're touching I can sleep deep and sound.
And the flight of my fancy has my feet on the ground.

While your whispers excite the very nerves in my skin.
That rise to make goose-flesh, blood boiling within.
Yet time skips by us, one day we'll be gone.
With no memory of us, just our kids to live on.

I beseech my successors, my children and theirs,
Remember us fondly, our memory share,
With your friends and your children,
And their children too.
As we look down from heaven,
We'll be watching over you.
