231124: In A Song

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

In a song the sky is blue
The world is fair men tell the truth
We all walk a mile in each other’s shoes

In a song summer lasts all year
Every evening's bright and clear
Perfect picture before the sunset disappears

We don’t mean to hurt each other
Still it seems time after time
Father mother sister brother
How did life get so unkind

Tried to love you got it wrong
You’re all I wanted all along
Night is black not a star to wish upon
It’s easier to love you in a song

In a song some dogs live forever
All the rest go straight to heaven
To that big farm you'll forgive the old expression

In a song we get a second chance
With what's her name at the high school dance
God don't laugh at all my little plans
