Oh Al'

I can't see her no more
She's now far away
I'll be missing those soft cheeks
I just wish that she could stay
I want to hold her breasts
And hug her real tight
I want to kiss her lips
And cuddle her all night
If only I could hold her heart everyday
Like a pen and a paper
For my heart was to capture, coloured in grey
To get rid of the filth and anger
Her harmony can keep me calm
Her love was something I keep as a charm
I love her voice as it enters my brain
Down through my nervous system
To cut the chains that I kept as pain
I would brush and play with her hair
She could cuddle me as her teddy bear
If she ever had a nightmare
Oh Al' my lover, stay if you care.
