Beautiful Children

Warm house, cold hands I was standing outside trying to find your doorbell At 2 AM, I ran all the way hope that you weren't sleeping You rubbed your eyes Gently with the palm of your left hand We talked awhile And you told me how much you appreciated me And I knew that it was time for me to stay or leave So I started walking home Sowing teardrops in the snow We'll be friends forever But I'm afraid that you'll never love me You met someone At that show when you went home for the weekend And he makes you laugh And somehow I remind you a little of him Two perfect hands A part time job but says that he loves children But I lost my tongue Until now you never felt that you'd missed anyone And even though it's early you think it could be love Another heartsick lullaby but I can't seem to make you cry We'll be friends forever, but I'm afraid that you'll never love me Does he love you? Does he love you? I hope he loves you If he doesn't At least you'll have beautiful children Beautiful children --- Beautiful Children - Jeremy Messersmith
