A Heart That Holds On

If I had another chance at you would I take it 
Because I know you wanted to date it
And I held back because of the boy so blue
But since then he has told me that you
May be the right one for me
Because he has found someone else to free
And I wonder if you’re married by now
You must be thirty five like D’Arcy somehow
And God knows you are just as deep
And still something that I keep
In my secret heart
Did you know how the butterflies dart
Around my stomach when we would meet
And I feel us in the heat
Of a tryst in our mind
Up against each other to see what we would find
In our two makes one
As hot as the flaming sun
And you are red in my thoughts
Because I know you can’t be bought
Not by anyone, not by any money
And I still love you, honey
Because there’s something so tender and true
And it is the best thing about you
And I can’t believe it’s been thirteen years since we talked
Thirteen years since we walked
Back into Glenomena
And I think I might have seen ya
Somewhere amongst the mess
Before I was “in distress”
Before I made you guess
What I was thinking
And you were better than the drinking
That we did together
You are like summer weather
At the ball
When you put your arm around me and it all
Just falls away into the grass
I think I found something that will last
Though it is not the bleak surrender
Into that which I can’t bear to remember
But it’s all happening now
And we’re still connected somehow
