Today is your birthday......
(lyrics by the Cure)
Those down days
When you felt so young
And everything seemed
You saw the people
Around you
Getting old
You wake up
The teenage yearn is
Gone for you
It happens to others
It happens all the time
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
The candles on the cake
Waiting to be blown
Wish I was
An other
It started with a dedication
It started with a dedication
’lost in admiration - happy birthday -
Lost in admiration - happy birthday - I’m forever yours - blossom
I’m forever yours - blossom’
Fared red inside a tiny book of butterflies
Fared red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name
The wings flew by spelled out my name
Six months went by the summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
Six months went by the summer lost
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
Please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
Tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love
’please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
Tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love...’
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
And alters but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will fade
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
She’d started smoking poetry!
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
She’d started smoking poetry!
She’d pulled me in...
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
I answered her
She’d pulled me in...
A christmas card in sepia
I answered her
Arranging when and where
A christmas card in sepia
And how the two of us should meet...
Arranging when and where
Her opening so well prepared
And how the two of us should meet...
A nervous smile
Her opening so well prepared
I couldn’t take my eyes from her
A nervous smile
She whispered
I couldn’t take my eyes from her
Can I use some of your lipstick?
She whispered
It was perfect so believable
’can I use some of your lipstick? ’
I couldn’t help but feel that it was real
It was perfect so believable
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms
I couldn’t help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
And alters but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will fade
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
So alone into the cold new year without another wo
But weeks went by with no reply untill once more my birthday came
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...
But weeks went by with no reply untill once more m
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was
I’m sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination
I was sure you’d be the one but I was wrong -
’I’m sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination
It seems reality destroys our dreams - I won’t forget you blossom
I was sure you’d be the one but I was wrong -
Fared red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...
It seems reality destroys our dreams - I won’t for
Fared red inside a tiny book of all goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
It varies but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will change
And alters but the smallest things
Strange attraction spreads it’s wings
You never know how anything will fade
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
