A Woman Without a Past

November 1991


I just want to be
A woman without a past.
I don't want my new loves
To know why old loves didn't last.
I don't want them to know
How others hurt me so.
I don't want them to see
My vulnerabilities.
I just want to be
A woman without a past.

Young Love

November 1976

Barefoot on the beach

With you by my side

Your pants are rolled up to mid-calf;

We talk of the future.

Sitting on a log

To watch the sun set

You hold me close

As a seagull flies by.

Nothin' Special

This is a song.
November 1990

He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special
But he sure is good to me

He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special to anyone but me

He doesn't drive a fancy car
He probably won't get too far
He doesn't wear diamond rings
But he is fun, and gives me little things

He'll never have a star
On Hollywood Boulevard
He'll never win the Nobel Prize
But there is kindness in his eyes

He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special
But he sure is good to me

He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special to anyone but me

He doesn't have American Express
But I don't love him any less
He doesn't have a Bachelor's degree
But that's all right with me

He's nothin' special
He's nothin' special
But he sure is good to me

He's nothing special
He's nothing special
He's nothin' special to anyone but me

History of a Relationship

February 1986

Love at first sight?

Not quite.

A roller coaster ride,

A tug of war,

A taffy pull,

A molding into shape,

Is what has taken place.

Love yet?

You bet.
