Music and Laughter
By Jamstew
There was a night when life was fineBut that was once upon a timeThe music and the laughter flowed right through meBut now I’ve got a lump in my throatA misused brain and an overcoatAnd longing for the music and the laughterAnd if I had my time againI’d sleep in ‘til it was later than tenAnd make sure nights like these were almost dailyIf I could count the times I’ve sighedI’d have almost counted the stars in the skyAnd staring at the heavens makes me wonderI want nothing out of lifeAnd life wants nothing out of meWe make a pretty lethal combinationIf I could count the hairs on my headI’d have counted the times I wished I was deadBut music is the antidote to sadnessThe music dwindled and was no moreThe laughter was lost in remembering beforeThe bittersweet memories flowed like the tearsThe happiness, in the form of a sigh,Was reflected in their sparkling eyes.The music and the laughter up and left me.
