Jennifer

by Monica Rabino

For Jen Pumo

There are angels masquerading around us
I believe you are one of them
You deny the fact you're somewhat short of a miracle
You've made me believe in myself
So I believe in you

Jennifer, don't you see
Everything you do for me
And do for all
Those who are blessed and lucky to see
The beauty lying within thee?

You can see when something's wrong with me
I turn my head and hide
Then you sing a song for me
You tell me it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
And it's alright to cry

CHORUS

You show us the rhythm within our souls
Unselfish in your trials you give us hope
So in return, I'd like to thank you for your time
For your patience and understanding
Fair days have climbed
Because of you, your strength and your ability to shine
Through the blackness, through my lonliness
And through the troubles of our time
You say, "take heart,"
I'm offering you mine
So take my hand and our dreams
We'll spread our wings and fly

CHORUS
