Time After Time
“Be careful where you invest your time. Nothing is worse than wasted time. It’s the one thing you can’t get back.” AnonI like to think I am dependable. If someone asks me to do something or help them, I want them to know I will try my best. They should be able to know just what I can or cannot do. They need to be assured that their time is well spent with me.
I depend on others. I know by their actions what to expect. I do not ask the impossible but evidence is there from past actions that I can rely on them. I know that time after time I can expect help and encouragement.
Some clocks keep time very well. We depend on them. They are very helpful. There is one clock that is broken in my display. It is of no use.
I sing two versions of this song. I wrote the words to the second one and it is where time is not well spent. Like a broken clock.
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Turning in circles confusion is nothing new
Flash backs to warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase of memories Time after -
Sometimes I picture you I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me I can’t hear what you’ve said
Then you say go slow I’ll fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time
After your picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows I’m wondering if you’re OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after time Time after time Time after time
Turning in my bed I hear the clock tick and pray to you
Asking your help but you just seem to go pooh pooh
Rapture soon to come don’t leave me behind
You are the father of all mankind
Sometimes I picture you but maybe you’re in my head
I’m calling to you but I can’t hear what you’ve said
Is this all this pretend and just a sham
Somehow I’m thinking you don’t give a damn
If I’m lost you never look you don’t find me
Time after time
If I fall you don’t catch me you’re not waiting
Time after time
Deep down in my heart I know I need something new
Reason and good sense tell me I don’t believe in you
Let me be free from myths and lies
Out of falsehood truth will arise
If I’m lost you never look you don’t find me
Time after time
If I fall you don’t catch me you’re never waiting
Time after time Time after time Time after time
Well Meme, I’ve gotta say that while I love your posts, I ‘m starting to enjoy your comments to those who comment even more! How fun and funny. Well okay I still like your posts more.
Your version of Time After Time speaks for me and to me. Thank you for that.
Thank you for the comment. It makes me happy.
I like your gravatar.
Thank you. It’s a sculpture I saw in San Francisco, and well…an open heart is unconcealed, out there. I loved the messages and graffiti all over it, it’s both complex and naive. Ppffttt! A lot like me LOL
I looked at it in your larger profile and liked the graffiti. But I didn’t realize it was a sculpture. I thought it was just like a plastic balloon thing. I like it even more now.
I’ll catch you.
rjb
I have strayed so far from where I started from, I need to be rounded up and tied down.
Brilliantly awesome
I would like to thank you for regularly taking the time to come visit my blog
When I visit a blog I get out my Timer and set it accordingly to the value of the blog. I calculate the allotted time by counting the number of words divided by the number of followers times the reciprocal visits I have received in return.
But in the final analysis it is the avatar that determines the time spent. I like your new one.
Thank you. It is actually a photo. I took it earlier this month, and it wasn’t until someone pointed out that it looked like a butterfly or an Angel that I saw the total beauty in it
Just looked at in your profile picture and saw the larger view.
I think I go for the butterfly interpretation. lol
There was a reason for me thinking of it as an angel, but I won’t go into that.
I’m just really impressed with it
Oh, TIME! I always feel like I’m fighting it. I never have enough. And gosh darn… it goes by so FAST. I can’t believe the holidays are here already. I feel like I just put away last year.
Yeah……..the dreaded Holidays! About the only thing good about starting a new year is that the holidays are over and the house can get back to normal.
Oh, I love the holidays. But we have cut down on the decorating and cooking. It is not due to the time factor but the age factor. No one is able to climb in the attic to get the stuff out.
AnElephantCant find words for Meme
To tell her how much he enjoys
A beautiful song
But don’t get him wrong
It is more magic with your wonderful voice
You have never been wrong with your comments about my songs.
And when you are:
You will know swiftly and surely.
You will know fast and furiously.
You will know rapidly and raging-ously.
But I am sure there will be no need for that.
AnElephantCant believe that sweet Meme
Will get rapidly raging-ous with him
He blows his cool trumpet
For his delicious wee crumpet
To ensure she never loses her rhythm
your song is more original!
One of my less silly ones…..more or less.
