Dear Blue

13 · Jan · 2000

I was standing in the middle of the dinning room at Caffe Milano. It was June 5,1996, the night before our Grand Opening. Sound check was in progress and things were not going well.

Worried, I let out a sigh of despair. Cei Cei Winans was on stage, and she rolled her eyes in disgust. Laughter erupted (for the third time) from the back of the room. Ready to scold one of the servers, I turned around to look into the bluest eyes wrapped up in a golf shirt and a ball cap. The earth didn't move. Stars didn't fall from the skies. But I remember.


Dear Blue

If I could
I would
For you
Dear Blue

Dust off the small beliefs
Rearrange the mountains
Lay my head in your backyard
Dance in the fountains
Be a real best friend
Learn to read your mind
Howl at all your bad jokes
Show up everywhere on time

If I could
I would
For you
Dear Blue

Brag about your good looks
Be a full time lover
Help you up when you fall down
Make nice with your mother
Open my heart to the fresh air
Let you be a king
Put away the past
Maybe learn to sing

If you would
I would
For you
Dear Blue

Stick around in the hard times
Love with unequaled passion
Fight all the monsters
Wear the latest fashion
Hold your hand in the rainstorm
Stop the cameras flashing
Kiss the babies at sunset
Leave the critics laughing

I would
We could
Dear Blue
