The Plan

The Plan by Paul Mellette Once upon a time my dear Back where it all began A woman walked in a garden Alongside of her own man That was how it was designed to be Before it was shot to hell A man and woman were meant to love Not to argue, fuss, and yell So how did it get ruined you ask What could have ever gone so wrong When did "you" lose your rightful place Where you were to be all along It was probably the man who blew it In truth this is often true He allowed something to take your place And the magic of love was through When God looked down from Heaven He knew alone man was undone But He didn’t give him a dog as friend Nor even a fishing rod or gun The first woman was there created From a single rib of her man And only when she stood by his side Was he complete ever again It is how love was meant to be Nothing else will ever do I can never be completely me Unless I’m alone with you There will be no more distractions No place I’d rather be Nothing that might lure me away From that special part of me My soul has found such pureness My heart has found release My body has discovered such passions here My mind has found it’s peace It’s like you were plucked from within me Like I had dreamed you up myself I could never have hoped to find such love I have been blessed beyond mere wealth And I know this love is holy Because I know our hearts are pure And I feel your soul so late at night And my loneliness is cured I hear the gentle music That your words sing to my soul And I feel the thunders drumming As our passions start to roll And I know that we have found it The magic plan that once was lost And I know I will protect our special love Regardless of any cost I will run right through the fire I will defy it’s raging flame I will lead you through to Heaven’s gate My lips will cry your name I will never fail to love you I will always pass the test I have found a woman so warm and pure Who deserves more than my best But the soul knows about this magic It is indeed the source thereof Where the vultures circled o’er my heart There is now this snow-white dove May our love be like a beacon That will help others to see The way that two were meant to share Just how great such love can be...OK... I KNOW it's another long one... Sometimes I get in a "mood" when the words just flow... such was the case on the night I wrote this. Sometimes I can be short... really...
