Jimmy Had A Love
©2007 D Harper & P Keene 

Jimmy had a love 
He had the real thing
A once in a lifetime kind
But he let her slip away…
It was his lack of years
He was immortal
Everything was replaceable
But the years just tumbled by 

Love is so fragile
Something you can’t push or pull or start again …
Blink twice and it’s gone
He felt so small
Watching her walk away
Couldn’t find the words to say
Wouldn’t have changed things, anyway

Jimmy got smart
And he learned the right way
A little give, a little take
And it’s sailing in the wind
Now everything matters
And everything counts and now
He knows it’s the little things
That matter most of all

Love can be so good
It can shine so brightly,
You just lose yourself
In a fragment of time
Nothin’ else matters
It’s not what you take
But what you’ve got to give
And you finally learn how to live

Now Jimmy has a love
A love for all seasons
He knows he has everything
And he knows she’s here to stay
