Show Me The Lyrics

© by Bud Lemire on May 14, 2017

Show me the lyrics, not the song

I love the music, don't get me wrong

I can't listen to the song, because I can't hear

Yet, there are many things that I endear

If the lyrics touch me, I know it's a great song

I'm still wondering, where I belong

I love this life, that I am living

And this chance, that I've been given

I love my life, but this fight can be hard

In my hand, I'm holding the Death Card
My love is waiting for me, on the Other Side

Through the hard times, he's been my guide

Close Captioned, is the way I watch TV

Reading the words, in front of me

I've learned to read lips, when you're facing my way

It took me some studying, but it helps me every day

I long so much, to hear the music once more

To hear the songs, that I've loved before

They'll play in my head

When the lyrics are read

Some are forgotten, when they are too new

Yet the older ones, always come through

Let me see the lyrics, to that song

I love music, don't get me wrong

Can't even hear, the knock on my door

I wish I could hear, like I did before

It's not the same when your hearing goes.

Music is out of your life. You tend to listen

to the music that has been recorded in your

memory. But after awhile, that starts to fade.

Sometimes seeing the lyrics will refresh how it

sounds.
