Beyond My Pen
My words on paper say it all
Face to face I often stall
I wish the two would sometime meet
At times I feel complete defeat
On the phone more of the same
Pen and paper my claim to fame
I'm not suave smooth or cool
At times it makes me one big fool
Communication doesn't always come
Not as easy as it does for some
To ride off someday with the girl
Would make this old heart swirl
I've played the part like a movie in my head
Only in my mind I'm the loser instead
Oh how I wish my mouth was a pen
I'd tell the girl she was a ten
I'd tell her what I really feel
But with my pen is how I deal
Some day my pen and the girl might meet
Perhaps that day I'll find complete
For the girl that looks beyond written word
Past my pen I can be heard
I may not say what one wants to hear
But I'd be there for her year after year
