IT'S OKAY
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. I'd love to hold you
and not just look at your face.
now that I've told you,
must I also erase
all the pain,
all the pain
your old love made you feel?
or should I wait
for all the wounds to heal?
II. have you decided
you never will love again?
as if your pride could
be the same as a friend?
only love,
only love
can take the place of love.
and any other truth
is just pretend.
BRIDGE A: you're in the middle,
in the middle
of a bridge to me.
come on over,
come on over.
leave your life's debris.
BRIDGE B: I am waiting,
still waiting
like a roadside dog.
I am barking,
still barking
this one-track monologue.
II. maybe you're thinkin'
I know my line by heart.
but I'm not a phony
like you meet at the singles bar.
it's just me,
and there's just you
smiling as if to say:
come on and touch me,
come on and touch me,
come on and touch me,
it's okay!
all right.
okay!
