As It Always Does I remember when I was a child I wanted one particular doll I raked the yard, cleaned my room, buffed and polished the hall and all until I had enough allowance to buy it and so there it was well, the thrill faded as it always does. I remember the first pair of roller skates and then the brand new pogo stick and then there was the banana-seat bike then my first kiss from Rick and so I had it yes, there it was well, the thrill faded as it always does. I remember at graduation the Mustang Fastback with the V8 daddy please buy it for me? I sware I'll always think you're great I didn't even wreck it before interest was gone and there it was well, the thrill faded as it always does. I remember college and wanting the degree three years for a two-year course I remember at graduation wanting to be a member of the force so I went there, did it, and so there it was well, the thrill faded as it always does. I remember wanting the big wedding and two children with the house on the hill I do, I do, I do, and wonder now if maybe I should have just been still so I'd have something left to want emptiness...and so there it was after the thrill fades as it always does.
