"Listen to me girl, life is not a game"
She peeks from behind the curtain, little curls framing her face
Trying her hardest, not to give her presence away
He looks at her and smiles, unaware now
How did he get here, when did he start to belong?
The door bell rings
squealing she runs out,
she needs to be the one
she needs to be the one
to always open the door,
to her it's not a chore
to her it's not a chore
Ecstatic she runs,
into the waiting arms
of the one so like her,
only old
Turning around he sees
A little way by his bedside, on a dimly lit table top
a picture of him and her; dancing to some song
was it their favorite one or was it 80's pop?
was it their favorite one or was it 80's pop?
Those were the days, the madcap times
he used to chase her around the room
trying to reach into the lightness, her brightness
she was, she is;
precious as precious can be
trying to reach into the lightness, her brightness
she was, she is;
precious as precious can be
The little one enters,
flushed with laughter,
pulling her lookalike along
flushed with laughter,
pulling her lookalike along
His heart starts to leap
like a thousand happy, jumpy frogs
How did they get here, when did they start to belong?
