Goodbye Mr Bear
by JJ JohnsonTonight, Mr Bear is layin next to me
I wonder if he's thinkin about you, the way that I do
To hold you in his arms, is a distant wish come true
He must be wonderin if he'll ever lay with you
Each night, Mr Bear sleeps in our bed
He whispers in my ear, all the things I wish you said
I hold him in my arms, but my aching heart feels dead
We both keep wonderin who lays with you instead
Good morning Mr Bear, it's time for you to wake
You can't just lay there in a bed you didn't make
She's comin back for you and the things she didn't take
Don't be nervous lil one, my son, no need for you to shake
Your heart's the golden one she cannot break 04/20/2010 Author's Note:
