This Thing I’ve Got For You

for Jen

Jeseppi Trade Wildfeather © 12/24/97

that night we met
something in the air
led you to me
when no one seemed to care
not so sure
what to say or do
you’ll never know babe
this thing i’ve got for you

first time you spoke
couldn’t believe my ears
half my age
and wiser by forty years
i like the way
your heart and soul shine through
you’ll never know babe
this thing i’ve got for you

a tender spirit
lives inside you
to guide our journey
day by day
don't let no one night lover leave you
all caught up in
skin deep games we play

you’ve got that look
i know how you feel
but from the cradle
i ain’t one to steal
many others
say they will be true
you’ll never know babe
this thing i’ve got for you

if cold and heartless words
have hurt you
one can’t help but sadly weep
no need to lie there feeling lonely
just close your eyes
and i’ll sing you to sleep

i love that pretty glow
in your warm sweet smile
i see a swan in your
soft and graceful style
if there’s ever anything i can do
you’ll never know babe
this thing i’ve got for you
