Post 501: Trick or Treat Version 2 (10/26/09)

Trick or Treat (10/26/09 c,w ) version 2

I look at you

It seems the joy of youth is fading from your eyes
Now replaced with the responsibility
Of an adult life

But at least you’re here with me

I want to make you happy

Remember when we were kids

We could wear a disguise and be who we wanted to be
We would walk down the street
And ring our neighbors’ door bells
And they would give us treats

I want us to be
I want us to be as happy as when we didn’t have a care
But maybe the only way that we can feel that way is to live vicariously
I’ll let you decide but I can see

I can see a future

Where we’re not alone
As we lead our kids down the street
And see the excitement in their eyes
Even through their disguise
As the see the pumpkins glow
And the decorations

As they are given their treat

And we won’t let them have it all
Because it’s our call

Making memories they’ll forget, but we never will

There is nothing for us to fear
If it’s meant to be
You know it will be

Baby, I guess what I’m asking for

I’m asking for something I think we both want
I’m asking for something I need
But I can’t do this without you

If you are not ready yet

Just let me know
Just tell me
Yes or tell me no
Will it be a trick or a treat
