Shannon

Woke up this morning, the sun on my face
I noticed your clothes were all over the place
“Shannon, forgive me, I thought you were dead”
For your pillow had not seen your beautiful head
Could it have been all the things that we said?
Shannon, I wish you were back in my bed

Oh, I know it’s not easy for you
But I can love you forever
Please just take it one step at a time
Darlin’ never say never ever, ever again
You keep forgetting that I’m just a man
Can’t compete with the bottle, don’t think that I can
Last night is all history, tomorrow’s a mystery
So please don’t be losing today in your haste

Shannon, it’s such a terrible sin
To lose all that we have
Can we make a decision today
That takes away all our sorrow?

Now just think of the things that I say
Then think and think again
They’re all coming true in a beautiful way
That gives us hope for tomorrow
