for kameleon
read to the rythm of "Tiny Dancer" by Sir Elton John...
green-eyed baby
yukon lady
wordsmith without gain
emerald eyes
private smile
chameleon hides its pain
ballerina
i want to see you
dancing in the rain
and now you're in me
always with me
tobi thompson in my head
morning people in your way
free papers in your face
turning back, now you can sigh
the morning ride was not that bad
annie lennox and her band
in an auditorium
looking on you sing the songs
the words you know, the tunes you hum
but oh how it feels so real
lying here with no one near
only you and you can't hear me
when i say softly, slowly
"Hold me closer tobi thompson
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me in Egyptian linen
I had a busy day today."
green-eyed baby
yukon lady
wordsmith without gain
emerald eyes
private smile
kameleon hides her pain
ballerina
i want to see you
dancing in the rain
and now you're in me
always with me
tobi thompson in my head...
...after Bernie Taupin

You are such a goof!! A lovable goof, but a goof, nonetheless! :P How sweet and creative this was. I'm honored, my friend - no one's every written a song about me before!! :) Thank you, sincerely.
Kisses,
K.
(but I should probably tell you... my eyes are green.. LOL!!) ;)
Hey! You changed it to go with my green eyes!! You didn't have to do that... but I'm touched by the gesture. :P Love the link to the history of the color green - very insightful, I thought! (nudge, nudge, wink, wink...) But seriously, you really put a lot of thought into this little poem/song - I can't believe how much of me (what you know of me, and what you've learned of me over the years) you put into it. It really was sweet, Greg.
In my recent contemplation of immortality, I am confident that I have found it in you, if nothing else. (how corny is that??) LOL!
Luv ya, babe!
XOXO
K.
