LYRIC FOR SALE

By Paul Adrain Hodgkin

Chorus:
I woke up again this morning
Could not find you anywhere
I looked beneath your covers
But your sweet smile it was not there
No echoed laughter down the hall
No footsteps on the stairs
I looked and looked but could not find you
Maybe tomorrow you'll be there

Verse 1:
There are sidewalks made of chocolate
On the street where angels go
And all the stores are brightly colored like
the sweet content they hold
With a price of just one penny
For each desire that you know
Your wants and needs go shopping for the
beauty of your soul
Through every door lies great adventure
And as you sleep I wait the while
Playing precious strings from heartfelt things
And gently whisper lullabies
I'll meet you on the corner one day soon
And ever hold
You in my arms on chocolate sidewalks
On the street where angels go

Chorus:
I woke up again this morning
Thought I heard you call my name
I ran out to the backyard
Your swing hung empty on it's chain
No castles in the sandbox
No chalk marks anywhere
I looked and looked but could not find you
Maybe tomorrow you'll be there

Verse 2:
There are sidewalks made of chocolate
On the street where angels go
With all my love for light to guide you
Along my heart the only road
You can fly beyond the rainbow
Up where the stardust shines like gold
Or splash around in moonbeams
On the playground of my soul
You'll be safe and sound forever
Beyond this realm of space and time
Where a mother keeps her precious secrets
And hides the ties that bind
I'll meet you on the corner
And for all eternity will hold
You in my arms on chocolate sidewalks
On the street where angles go

Outro:
I woke up again this morning
