WHAT ABOUT YOU
(Lyrics and Music by Jessica Stone)
Why don't you ever get to take a break
Make a mistake
Just eat your own cake
Hey don't you ever want to draw the line?
Speak out your mind
Live your life in your own time?
Chorus:
Just tell me what about you?
Do you get what matters in the end?
My friend,
And what about your dreams
Did you pack them away at the first bend?
A beat-up guitar case
Worn by the years
Broken by love
And decorated with tears
that dried up long ago.
The greatest gift you ever gave me
Was the view of that case inside
And the pages of your history
They were turning yellow with time
They were golden with time…
But tell me what about you?
Do you get what matters in the end?
And what about your dreams?
I have them wrapped up here inside of me.
I am guarding them for you don't you see…
Yes and I believe you are a poet
And people are your pen
It's the people you loved
Who mattered most then
And I was page among them…
Hey now I'm living my dream
It's the one that you seeded
Before I could speak
It was you that I needed
To fill up my page…
And these clever little rhymes
Of those most beautiful times
Are my gift to you in the end
To the most selfless sage
I have the honor
Of calling my friend.
Do you know that I love you…
And tell me what about you
Can I give what matters in the end?
Can I touch you inside with my pen?
Can I write for you some glittering rhymes
That will get more golden with time…
Tell me what about you?
What about you?
