Wondering
How I wonder what he's doing
as I sit alone at night.
How I wonder who he's seeing
How I wonder if I'm right.

and I wonder if he doesn't
can my heart mend yet again.
Lord, I know that You have...

And I invent another cunning five year plan,
Lately it was pensions, that were being mentioned,
So I borro...

The Valley Of Pain
We were exiled from the Garden of Eden.
Its sinless wonders nevermore to regain.
So every man on life's toilsome journey,
Must enter the valley of pain.
We don't enter because of desire
And it's certainly not a voluntary fare.
But, rather, it...

The undertakers came forth
And summoned pallbearers' four.

Carrying it steady toward the door.

Relax and play like Children do

Chicken Soup is good for a cold
Sleep is good for the Flu

Although it can eat away my soul

Yet, it can keep me from feeling whole
I know what will do the tr...
