Just A Little Too Close (a poem, intended lyrics, dedication)

Just A Little Too Close

Oh sweet child

With you gentle smile

I know you mean well

But my heart is the land

Of another man

[refrain]

I saw a lost and lonely soul

That needed someone to know

I gave you my hand

And as I pulled you up

You slipped and managed to land

Just a little too close

Sweet child

With a heart so sensitive and mild

My hands are too clumsy to hold

Such a delicate thing

I know my words seem cold

But darling my hurt runs deep

I wanted to save you

But I just forced you to leap

Into another abyss of unknown blue

[refrain]

Honey you are beautiful

Inside and out

I want to shout

And tell everyone to take a closer look

At the book

That is you

You are a classical tale

Yet unread (save for me)

And if others would just read you

I know you'd see

I'm not the only one

[refrain]

Sweet child

With dreams so wild

She's out there waiting for you

Her dreams are crazy too

Angel, I gave you wings

Now it's time for you to fly

To bigger and better things

Leave me behind

But don't forget

I'm here if you ever fall from the sky

I'll catch you without asking why

Sweet friend

It's time for you to fly

I was the beginning

But I am not the end
