about

Love will make you do strange things. This is about a girl I was dating at the time, who later became my wife. True story.

lyrics

so I’m sitting here this morning in this awful meeting
listening to people ramble on and on
about theory and theograms
and they’re doing a decent job of talking
but not of keeping me awake
i try to listen to them but it’s no use
so I occupy my time by drawing funny faces on paper tablecloths
and thinking about all the things I need to be doing today
and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention
that you’re on my mind as well this morning
i think about monday nights and other nights on into mornings
and how I never thought baking cookies could be so much fun
and how much I love pets but not at certain moments
i think about what you’re doing right now in your busy day
talking with people in the midst of some scary storms
talking with people who call just to talk
putting smiles on the faces of young children
and wearing a beautiful smile of your own
and I’m also thinking about what lies ahead
and the ways that we can grow and learn more about each other
aAbout the times ahead for us together
and the novel experiences that we’ll share
and you know, it occurs to me as I’m lost in my thoughts
that I must look pretty silly right now
i mean, after all, the people around me are huddled over their books
and they sure look tired and bored
and here I am,
my face beaming with the thoughts of you that flow through me
all of which is captured in one big smile.....
