Closing my eyes, I listen
My favourite song was playing
Lyrics that at time make my eyes glisten
Words that can sound like praying
A song of love lost and found
Of hearts searching for a mate
In my head it’s a song that goes round and round
But at times it can make me feel bereft and desolate
I have listened when I was happy
Or cried to its lyrics when sad
At times I felt its words were only aimed at me
And some days the song was all I had
So, when I close my eyes
My favourite song covers so many memories
It never never tells me lies
And can-do wonders for my energies.
