love and blessings simple kindness fell like rain on thirsty land fields and gardens long abandoned came to life in dust and sand lover s lips sweet as honey touched as if old love was new banker s pockets overflowing with gold and money prophesies of wealth come true ain t no song like an old song charlie there s no song like an old song there ain t no time like a good time charlie ain t no times like the good times charlie bop bop a whoa whoa bop bop a whoa bop bop a whoa everywhere you look anywhere you go everybody working for the bop bop a whoa bop bop a whoa bop bop a whoa can t get enough of the bop bop a whoa bop bop a whoa bop bop a whoa if the summer kept a secret it was heaven s lack of rain golden days and amber sunsets let the scientists complain came the autumn drained of color ghosts in the water beg for more maple trees just a little bit duller than the memory of the year before in a word or in an image something called me from my sleep love and blessings simple kindness ours to hold but not to keep
