One Last Sweet Time (Oldies from Voo's Vault)

 

One Last Sweet Time

on the edge of a dream at the edge of the dawn

not stirred enough to wake

I saw you walk into my view

and there did my breath take

from behind a veil of soft chiffon

 you stepped into the light

and oh, my cries as oh, my eyes

beheld that wondrous sight!

in golden glow you stood as though

in Heaven's spotlight stood

and smiled that smile that only you

could smile at me and would

I reached my hand to touch your face

but your face touched not my hand

it seemed you dwelt a thousand miles

away in another land

your eyes held mine in timeless time

and I looked at you and yearned

I tried to kiss those lips I love

but my kiss was not returned

a ghostly shadow pulled you back

and I tried to make you stay

but you faded as you told me you

did not want to go away

I held onto the dream till I

could not hold it any longer

and day was tapping at my door

and sun was growing stronger

I rose to open up the shades

and let the morning in

when came a knocking loud and long

two military men

in uniforms so starched and neat

with voices sad in tone

we're sorry to inform you of this 

but the one you love is... gone

all day I sat there in the silence

looking for reason and rhyme

and finally, grateful that God let me

see you one last sweet time.

If Blues Is A Woman 26

 

If Blues Is A Woman

Honey, if blues, it is a woman

Well, then, heartache is a man

Can't nobody down here tell me

The devil don't have busy hands.

You see, the boys, they love to preach it

How they love us little girls

Then they love us and they leave us

Where they found us in this world.

Then they sit in bars till daylight

Talkin' how they was done wrong

Chasin' women, chasin' whiskey

Till ever drop o' love is gone.

Now, I've broke a heart or three

Had my share of dirty deals

Didn't love the one that loved me

So I know just how that feels.

But I never meant no evil

Never tried to do no bad

Made acquaintance with tha' lonely

Slept in rooms just full of sad.

Men say blues, it is a woman

Makes 'em hurt long as it can

But I say if blues, it is a woman

Surely, heartache is a man.
