Sweet Boy

When we were new we counted time
So many seasons from the day your lips met mine
I wanted your kiss for so long
That when it came my way
The years started over that day

There was never a waste of time
Even sleeping we were keeping us alive
The morning sun on your behind
Was the new day's moon
The lunar body pulled me like the tide

Good thing it lasted for a good while
Daily feasting on the cherry of your smile
We had the good love for a good while
It was the best I ever had
Your sweet love, sweet boy, the best I ever had

Now we're ready to waste some time
I know it's not what we are used to
If I don't see you for a long time
I guess it's just as well
The distance should help me break the spell

I quit counting by and by
Days faded into nights all mixed together
Surprise, I find myself here in mid-November
And I knew that it was time
But if I knew it, it you who said it, you said goodbye

And now we're ready to waste some time
I know it's not what we are used to
And if I don't see you for a long time
I guess it's just as well
The distance should help me

I guess I'm the one to blame
I admit it was me who drifted away
But if the morning sun of today
Falls on only one
It doesn't mean I don't love you still
I know I always will

Now we're ready to waste some time
I know it's not what we are used to
And if I don't see you for a long time
I guess it's just as well
The distance should help me

Help me waste some time
Though it's not what I used to do
If I don't see you for too long
Then I won't see you for too long
If I don't see you for too long
This song, this silly rhyme
Will help me pass the time
