THE NEXT HUG

Emmett and Anne


Wonderin' when my next hug is coming
and from who and how...
'been hugged before without a clue
show me, I want to know now
if it's gonna be like yesterday with you

Love is it fair
and is life so dear
Do I ask as I wonder
if you'll just stare
and leave, leaving me here

Lookin' for a kind thought and touch out there
It ain't just a memory
Poets say one word can change a life
will it hurt or heal me
risking all, cherish the changes we're feeling

Love is it fair
and is life so dear
Do I ask as I wonder
if you'll just stare
and leave, leaving me here

A thought
A word
A voice
A touch
A hug,
oh, honey.
yes.
