Counting pennies to save for a new car
Popping the cork on a new millennium
On pins and needles wondering if it’s a boy or a girl
Lighting candles year after year…it’s amazing how time passes you by
Calculating the risks in choosing happiness
Could I comb out the tangled mess I’d create?
Would this magic eraser take away the stain?
Could this super glue mend the pieces of his shattered heart…
Would there be enough left for hers?
Oh, there’s just not enough tissue to dry up these tears
I think I’m ready to put it all behind me though, and shuffle a new deck of cards
Ahhhh… the colorful rainbows and butterflies he will paint on my soul.
