Life Sneaks Up On You

 I got some pictures on the wall
I got some stories I can tell
there are some numbers I can call
when I'm not feeling very well
but life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

do you remember when
we stayed up all night
when we thought we got it right
when we had that little fight
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

Why do children have to die
why do friends go bye bye
sometimes I just don't understand
could you just hold my hand
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

I think I'm going to cry now
thats just the way I feel
I keep going I don't know how
I'm like a cog stuck in a wheel
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

We have to love every minute
We should love every minute
give it all we have and more
cause when it is all said and done
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

I think I'm going to cry now
thats just the way I feel
life sneaks up on you sometimes

Forever

I'm in love with you
there, I've said it, what
would you have me do?
you must not judge that
I have abandoned all that
I once knew, just to
be alone with you

Lips upon my neck and
down my back, hair that
falls across my face,
shirt unbuttoned falls to
the ground, hands grabbing
at my breasts and I am
not afraid of letting go
as I reach around some
forbidden place and you,
have given me more
than I could have
dreamed in this time
and space

 I'm in love with you
and so unafraid to speak
my mind nor do I care and
do not have anything
to gain by speaking up
and screaming from
my heart, it's the beginning
it's a beautiful start

Life is funny and romantic
and I have no idea what
I am saying anymore except
I love you more and more
and be there that small
chance that I may have
your love forever more,
then you must not ever
forget that I will always
be waiting just outside
your door.
