Melancholy Baby
Last night I raised a glass to you, a toast to love and hate
To love I thanked her for her touch, and to hate for coming late
I smiled softly to myself, and poured another glass
Under the influence of the wine, the memories flooded back
We really had a special bond, so tight, how did it break?
Thats the point tears filled my eyes, and another sip I'd take
Fondly I recalled, the lovers pillow fights
The times that you would pull me close, and say "leave on the lights"!
I held on to my pillow, pulled the blankets around me tight
Thats when I got the thought, damn I wish he were here tonight.
Another glass of alcohol, sedation for the brain
Numbs the truth of common sense and let's 'sentimental' reign.
I was melancholy baby, but not enough to call
This glass helped me to reminisce, but not forget it all
I wonder are you with her? was she everything you thought?
Her kiss made of heavens scent, the flavour that you sought?
Tonight I'll drink another bottle, and reminisce again
There has to be a better way of blocking out this pain
I know I'm getting stronger, and you can't bring back what's past
But for now I find my comfort at the bottom of the glass.
