SOMTHING TO TEACH

All this pain,
we're both feeling it together,
isn't it a shame?

Can't we put this down,
put it back,
way in the past.

Then we could build a future,
that will be loving, and will last.

Through the hands of time,
our patience and love will grow.
Then one day,
when we look at each other,
we'll both have become old.

With two life times worth of memories,
to tell and to teach.
To our great,
great grandchildren,
we'll be able to preach.

Teach them from right and wrong,
the difference between want and need.
Like how I want your love,
but I need it to breath.

You are my only sunset,
your my destiny in the stars.
If you take my hand my lady,
I promise this world will be ours.

Promises are hard to keep,
but I'll try as hard as I can.
I'll do all of this for you babygirl,
just to be your man.
