She Says To Me
==============
by Graeham Goble

Such a little soul, but very old,
she smiles up at me,
and I realize she's very wise,
it's easy to see,
she says to me, "the word will survive,
we all will learn," she says to me.

So I live and learn that my concern 
for all that I hear,
is it worth all the pain it causes
year after year,
she says to me, "Take it day by day,
and just let things be," she says to me.

We are going along, hiding our sorrows,
not singing a song, no thought for tomorrow,
not saying a word,
keeping our thoughts to ourselves, ourselves.

She is only just a little child, but she knows,
more than people care to realize and she shows,
more understanding than me,
oh, everytime I look into her eyes I see,
all the promise of the paradise to be,
so I listen to what she says to me.

We are going along, hiding our sorrows,
not singing a song, no thought for tomorrow,
not saying the word,
keeping it all to ourselves, ourselves,
she says to me, "Take it day by day,
we all will learn," she says to me,
"If you let things be," she says to me.
