Don't Let it Go


You don't appreciate it till it's gone

gone from your grasp and gone from your heart

You will never have the chance

what easily comes together can easily fall apart

 

First look first glance can only say so much

a firm grip on reality would be considered not to touch

do not use your hands or use your feet

try to find the rhythm within the heart beat

 

Hair can be dyed and the face can be masked

but how would you know if you never had asked

some my say art and some might say shame

but the person themself is not who to blame

 

find out what ticks and find out what moves

find out what brand makes the skin soft and smooth

find the right joke and find that right grasp

open your heart to make your love last
