the day we almost went to the movies

you were the brightest light
that I've ever seen
as a young boy
coming of age

you'd shine down on everyone
you'd meet
on everyone
you'd ever grip

and I was always ready
to wake up
and get out of bed
to see 'ya

going to school just
wasn't hard
if I knew that
you'd be there

that you'd be there
with your own,
laughing cheerfully
at the sun,
holding tight to
someone
who wasn't me

and I was wondering
if you'd like,
maybe Sunday,
if it feels right,
to go downtown
to the movies
with me
