Can I mellow out for a spell? Make you smile for just a minute. Please, come on and stroll with me.
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling thorugh my restless mind
Work stresses, surviving day to day,
so much baggage, lonely love travellers must declare,
whims and wishes, hits and misses,
time evaporating that lovers once shared
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
Two hearts beating, in a syncopated cadence,
two souls sharing a body electric,
strawberries dipped in chocolate, Moody's Mood for Love, so exotic,
yes, quite rare and somewhat eclectic
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
Early evening shadows, after a passing storm,
the city skyline, begging to be embraced,
a quiet moment, no noisy encroachments,
just a kiss on her lips, enjoying the aftertaste
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
After work cocktails, laughter and lightness,
finding space in a crowded train, to place your head on my breast,
late dinners, playfully debating angels and sinners,
in a shared mindscape, travelling to a secluded place we can decompress
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
Autumn in New England, perhaps Maine or Massachusetts,
eating fresh lobster, in a quaint seaside restaurant,
playfully flicking melted butter, watching the locals as houses are shuttered,
preparing for winter, in a world fast becoming intolerant
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
Nativity scenes, children's choirs,
Come All Ye Faithful, and believe in the blessing of love,
holiday wishes from strangers, baby Jesus in a manger,
as a streaking comet spells our names out in the distant heavens above
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
For all aquaintance, be forgot,
New Year's Day, sleeping the hours away in front of a fireplace,
no resolutions, only sound solutions,
answers for why love always disapprears, without a scent or trace
When love can spare the time,
I will ask her, please send me someone to love,
just a passing fancy, strolling through my restless mind
Years passing, your beauty never fading,
watching lovingly, sitting on a park bench as our grandchildren play,
no wherever's, howsoever's, whatsoever's, whosoever's or whichever's,
just an unmeasured, treasure,
of your sacred love, forever and a day
Just simple thoughts,strolling through my restless mind,
When love, can spare the time
