Goodbye Norma Jean.
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled,
They crawled out of the woodwork,
And they whispered into your brain.
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.
Loneliness was tough,
The toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died
The press still hounded you-
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
Goodbye Norma Jean,
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled.
Goodbye Norma Jean,
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual.
More than just our Marilyn Monroe.
I GESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THE BLUES
Don't wish it away
Din't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That's thins can only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
