A Song 4 You

---

Every once in a a while

I'll see something

Or I'll hear a song

Or I'll feel just a certain feeling

And it will be 1988 all over again...

And I'll think of you and I'll smile and I'll feel warm

And I'll wonder if you ever think of me too

Although I know you probably don't

It's a busy world

And ours was such a sordid little affair

Behind the closed doors of the dormitories

In the bars

At the frat parties

It always started out with a bottle

And ended up in bed

And the next morning as if by some miracle

We'd be straight again

And no one would ever know

Including ourselves

What went down

The alcohol washed away our memory

Sanitized our shame

But now I remember

And I know

That you were my first true love

In a truly terrible world

A decade has passed since then

And I am older

And I don't think that I will ever feel a love with such energy again

And I thank the Lord for that you came along when you did

And that a part of you remains with me still...
