Those neon lights

Under those neon lights..outside my favorite bar
Is where you first kissed me..Walking to your car
The years have passed..And the bars torn down
But those lights still stand..Where they've always been found
I drove by there just the other day
And it always makes me smile
To remember the way..you kissed me and held me tight
Standing there..Under those neon lights
I came into a little bit of luck..I saved my change
I had an extra buck..So I bought that land
Where those lights still stand
Then commenced to erect..A most grand plan
It wasn't long..Before the bar was back
With a parking lot full..And the dance floor packed
We had cold beer flowing..And the neon glowing
When I happened to see..What was just a memory
Standing there..Under those neon lights
You said those neon lights..They called your name
And the magic they bring..Is why you came
It was a dream come true..That I've dreamt many nights
Since you first kissed me..And held me tight
Standing there..Under those neon lights...

A special world



A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special word , where we belong
