Electric Lady - Billy Dee Williams

You are still the pretty boy you are today
I don't want to look back and not see you again
Your smile captures me every time
The twinkle in your eye eats me up inside
It's hard to breathe when I know you are near
The love in my heart will not be washed away
By strong currents or heavy tides
The sandcastle in the wind is an eternal friend
I believe you are my father from another world
For I never had a father from the same world
I will die for you as long as you're still alive
Love me and love me more
I speak as if I know you well
You are beautifully old
And I am ugly and young
Wisdom has its fears and I fear wisdom
In the same breath as the man who raised me
Diana Ross is so very proud
Mahogany is my favorite color
Though the world is still new to me and you
I hope you get what you're hoping for
Heaven is a place where dreamers dream
And you are my heaven within these streets I walk
I never had a father in my life
And I know what that's like
I get all choked up inside
Because I really am a good person
Your love is near and dear to me
Even though I don't deserve it
Amen.

Electric Lady
