| Love is a Funny Thing Love is a funny thing It comes and goes on crimson wings It flies in and out the door It stirs your soul, your very core It's hard to love each other And promise yourself to no other I am yours and you are mine We are bound together like braided twine To think the words, dare not spoken To utter words, made promise broken Love is a funny thing Stripped of sense, thoughts meandering Cupid strikes with his golden string His small wings steadily beating He picks his targets randomly Causing chaos and insanity His victims don't feel the tiny prick They don't perceive his naughty trick Of turning friends against each other He doesn't check, he doesn't bother Love is a funny thing Never, ever changing Some think it's a cloud's silver lining Or a rainbow's brilliance, shining But, I think it's more a state of mind A place where hunger for love feeds the blind People taken in by chance Find themselves lost in circumstance So why do they bother? Why do they try? If all their attempts just go awry Love is a funny thing People risking everything For even one passing glance To face that dare, to take that chance To throw caution to the wind To catch that hope and trap it in Of finding love that's oh so true Of finding feelings so exciting, so new A whole new world in which to thrive To find that feeling that keeps us alive Love is a funny thing It is a hope not so promising But, occasionally, there are a few Who experience an emotion they never knew To find someone who completes them To be filled to the very brim With emotions close to ecstasy That burn like fire inside of me I see myself: tired, lonely I want to find my one and only Cathy 5-02 |
