Whispers like
purple velvet soft against my cheek
will you listen as I wept my heart to you?
purple velvet soft against my cheek
will you hold me as I sigh 1,000 sighs of old?
purple velvet soft against my cheek
will you be kind to those who seek?
purple velvet soft against my cheek
will I trust you as I’m weak?
purple velvet soft against my cheek
will you stave me as I speak my whispers
like…
purple velvet soft against my cheek

you make me want to be brave

What makes you feel happy?
What makes you giggle?
What makes you smile?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you full of wonder?
What makes you dream?
I’m waiting for a sign
watching you
wondering
happy when I feel near you
I giggle at your stoic ways
I smile when I see you,
do you notice
I laugh when I hear you laugh,
do you notice
I wonder if you wonder anymore
I dream, I want to be your dream
do you notice
I’m waiting for a sign
watching you

skipping rocks with you
mud between my toes
pants rolled up to my knees
I never will forget
skipping rocks with you
we’d pile them up so high
and each kur-plunk you’d sigh
I was only to your waist high
skipping rocks with you
now Pa a time or two
lost his balance cause he knew
it made me laugh to see
him lose his place
cause the only place he’d stand
was close so I could grab his hand
I never will forget
skipping rocks with you

Meet me in September
among the pine trees, at the cabin
I’ll be waiting on the porch swing
there for you

Buttercup roses like frosting to my heart
I get all sweet and dreamy
when you gifted me this creamy
fluffy yellow rose, was it merely in jest?
I don’t know but part of me pattered
and my thoughts they seem all scattered
if perhaps, you might just put me to the test
Seems my smile it is all cheesy
and my breath it’s kind of wheezy
makes me wonder have a caught a cold or cough
Either way it’s such a nice thought
and my Pa a proper man taught
me to thank you very kindly for the gift
Buttercup roses like frosting to my heart
