Love & Blessings

Love and blessings Simple kindness Fell like rain on thirsty land Fields and gardens Long abandoned Came to life in dust and sand Lover's lips sweet as honey Touched as if old love was new Banker's pockets overflowing with gold and money Prophesies of wealth come true (Bop, bop, a whoa) Ain't no song like an old song, Charlie (Bop, bop, a whoa) There ain't no song like an old song (Bop, bop, a whoa) There ain't no time like a good time Charlie (Bop, bop, a whoa) Ain't no times like the good times, Charlie (Bop, bop, a whoa) Whoa Bop, bop, a whoa Bop, bop, a whoa Everywhere you look anywhere you go Everybody working for the (Bop, bop, a whoa) Bop, bop, a whoa Bop, bop, a whoa Can't get enough of the (Bop, bop, a whoa) Bop, bop, a whoa (Bop, bop, a whoa) If the summer kept a secret It was heaven's lack of rain Golden days and amber sunsets Let the scientists complain Came the autumn, drained of color Ghosts in the water beg for more Maple trees just a little bit duller Than the memory of the year before In a word, or in an image Something called me from my sleep Love and blessings Simple kindness Ours to hold but not to keep.
