Note: This is a song that I keep working on — tinkering with phrases and rhymes — and trying to decide what stays and what goes. Working on this song can be frustrating. On the other hand, I have fun playing and singing it.
Bittersweet Love — © 2016 by Myron Schreck
| Let me tell you about my baby … He’s got a warm and gentle heart Yes he can be so sweet but he can also be Sometimes just a little too tart He gives me sweet sweet bittersweet love. Like a rhubarb strawberry pie Sugar through and through … Tart and sour, too Keeps me guessing most of the time … But I love that lover of mine. Met him walking home one day … We dated several times. To my surprise, … he could always read my mind. He’s a painter, a builder, a computer nerd A whiz at whatever he tries. But often he forgets to call or arrive on time. He’s aloof, but he’s never mean. He’s unpredictable … but that’s what makes him interesting. He gives me sweet sweet bittersweet love. He’s kind of timid … or maybe just shy He doesn’t like to phone … He likes to stay at home … I wonder what he’s up to sometimes … But I love that lover of mine Sometimes he’s Jekyll … And sometimes he’s Hyde. He can be calm as a lion … Or wild as a child He gives me sweet sweet bittersweet love. He’s a serious, but frivolous guy. He can hug me like a bear; Then leave me hanging in the air. Keeps me guessing most of the time. Oh, how I love that lover of mine. I know he’s not … thinking ’bout marriage … Though he’s a one woman kind of a guy And I am not .. thinking ’bout marriage. I’m just taking my time … And for me that’s just fine … … He’s sardonic, ironic and sharp But he’ll cry when a movie … Moves his heart … Cause he’s my … Sweet sweet bittersweet Gemini. My reluctantly, cuddly valentine. Blows hot and cold … Keeps me on my toes … Crude … or rude … or sublime I wonder what he’s up to sometimes. …. But still I love that lover of mine. |
