“Our Place”

There is one place
Where I can face
All of my troubles.
I can’t got there often,
But my hard life does soften
When I am in that one place,
Where I can face
All of my awful troubles.

You are a part of that place.
And just seeing your face
Releases all of my woes,
From my head to my toes,
Because I truly know
That if I just say “Yo!”
You’ll turn and see my face
In that one special place,
Where all of my troubles flee.

I look for your face
In one special place;
And I know I’ll find it;
And you won’t throw a fit
Because you will soften
Since we don’t see each other often
Enough to suit our wishes
In that place that is our special place.

Where is your handsome face?
It isn’t in its proper place
For me to see your sweet smile,
That I hope to see every mile
Of my long-troubled life
That is full of strife
Than only you can remove
In our place.
