Love Songs And The Blues

image

There’s a lot of love songs

to tell someone you love them.

But those words are someone else’s,

still you sing me love songs

on my old red guitar

and in your baritone voice.

You had a bottle of beer

and I had a bottle of Mike’s.

It was like the second date

when you sang me the Blues.

Though I requested songs

by George and Ira Gershwin

because I finally found

someone to watch over me.
