THERE MIGHT BE A FROG OR AN UGLY TOAD

THERE MIGHT BE A FROG OR AN UGLY TOAD

Once upon a time in a far away land

A prince came and took me by the hand

He gazed deeply into my eyes

And spoon fed me fairy tales and lies

He promised me fantasies of dreams to come true

And I fell for them hook line and sinker for them too

He reeled me in

For a web of deceit he’d spin

Then one day my rosy bubble burst

It would seem my dream appeared was cursed

Who was my prince? not who I was led to believe

But a frog in disguise whom my heart deceived

Don’t fall for every prince you see

Nor fall for their deluded fantasy

For underneath their crown of gold

There might be a frog or an ugly toad

PLEASE DO NOT MISS ME

PLEASE DO NOT MISS ME

Please do not miss me for I have not gone

Nor neither cry or for me long

For I am still here

And you will find me where

Upon a breeze I will call

And brush your face by the leaves that fall

For as the sun shines in its warmth you’ll feel my smile

As I’ve been been here all the while

And as darkness falls and from this stars peep

By your side gently I will creep

And by your side quietly I will lie

Still i’ll be as you gently close your eyes

And as you sleep and dream’s journey travel

We’ll be together united in this true love marvel
