This is a poem I wrote in 2009. I imagine all of my poetry to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. The verses to this one I imagine to the tune of Cryin’ by Aerosmith and the chorus I imagine to the tune of Heavy by Collective Soul. So you tell me my friend You finally went and got engaged She sounds nice - best of luck to you But would you mind Answer me a couple things These few questions that I ask of you Is she best you can get Or the best that there ever can be? If she runs off away could you ever love again? Will you love her The way I used to? The way I do? Will you love her The way I used to? The way I do? So you tell me my friend That your heart's full of love I don't dispute it - but tell me this When she gets down Do you tell her it'll turn around And to pull herself together right away Or do you just sit and hold her To let her know you're there Do you really understand her enough to let her know you care? Will you love her The way I used to? The way I do? Will you love her The way I do? The way I do? Don't get me wrong You seem to get along Great. you have my blessing - I know you'll do well But before you go through With it I hope you'll do One more thing - and that's think of this: Can you make corny sappy romance For the rest of your life Will you spend time and make time To embrace the skeletons in her closet And be sure she's really the one Before you make her your wife? Will you love her The way i do? The way i do? Will you love her The way i do? The way i do? Will you love her The way i used to? The way i do? Will you love her The way i do? The way i do?
