love blessings

Paul Simon

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

Bop-bop-a-whoa
Ain t no song like an old song, Charlie
Bop-bop-a-whoa
There ain t no song like an old song,
Bop-bop-a-whoa
There ain t no time like a good time Charlie
Bop-bop-a-whoa
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
