I kissed you and you cried
And whispered your goodbye
For everything we knew
You stretched and you outgrew
But there will be a time when everything will rhyme for you
I crooned a lullaby
You wooed a butterfly
And held it in your paw to coo and ooh and aww
You set that treasure free but everything will rhyme you'll see
In poem and word and song
We breathe and we belong
You took your time, it's true
But there will be a time when everything will rhyme for you
We grab and we dispose
We leave and we impose
We swagger and we sway
And drunkenly survey
All that we foresee
But everything will rhyme for we
In poem and word and song
We breathe and we belong
You took your time, it's true
But now will be the time when everything will rhyme for you
