This One Is For You.

This one is for you
if you’re lonely and blue
It’s just me reaching out
with these words of this tune
cause I too have been lonely
but I paid all its dues
when I crawled away from
where I stood in your shoes
and by me reaching out
perhaps you’ll reach out too
that’s the answer you need
It’s what you’ve got to do.

Cause this world is so full
of souls suffering through
the same kind of loneliness
Their numbers aren’t few.

But they sit in their sorrow
to damned tired to care…
weekends go by unnoticed
with them going nowhere

Reaching out is the key
It takes communication
though you’ll suffer some failures
That will bring you frustration

Because Love can be elusive
it turns So many reclusive
but if you don’t get out there
you won’t be dancing with cupid

you’ve got to go to those places
where love’s known to frequent
Look for eyes that pause on you
They too carry your secret
with luck you’ll both perceive it.

Slip away from depressions
add hope to your expressions
a warm body’s a blessing
when you’re starved for affection

Not Quick sex just small talk
hold hands and exchange glances
enjoying the closeness
that is shared when you’re dancing.
these are seeds to romancing

Love’s not inside books,
magazines, T.V. screens
and it’s not found online
or in your late night dreams

You’ve got to get off that couch
go where love intervenes
join the mix of its chemistry
that is brewed by sheer need
find a chance to succeed
don’t just sit home and bleed.

And then someday real soon
this Song that was for you
will become a sweet tune
that was written for two

It’s not going to be easy
but your easy chair’s worse
there’s love waiting for you
put you blues in reverse
loneliness is curse
Grab your wallet or purse
You see I speak from experience
I grew tired of the weariness
of just staying at home
and now I’m seldom alone
This one is for you
if you’re lonely and blue
It’s just me reaching out
with the words of this tune
cause I too have been lonely
but I paid all it’s dues
when I crawled away from
where I stood in your shoes
and by me reaching out
perhaps you’ll reach out too
that’s the answer you need
It’s what you’ve got to do.

“The further you reach out
the closer love becomes.”
