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
