Soft Lips

Soft Lips

All I ever wanted
For a white joyful Christmas
Was the warmth of your lips
Wrapped with a metallic red bow
To place a soft kisses on your hips

All I ever wished
For a New Year's Eve
Was the tenderness of your touch
Your head leaned on my shoulder
A presence that I miss so much

All I ever asked
For my twenty third birthday
Was a call to hear your voice
A letter as my second choice
The white flag has been hoist
Come back home

All I ever needed
For this life to be complete
Was to hold you laying in the sand
Missing you wasn't part of the plan
Saying sorry before you ran
To show you that I'm a changed man
