In Memory of Richard (1947-2008)

There's a feeling in the air, they say, that comes from up above.
It doesn't stay with everyone, this feeling they call LOVE.
It can warm the hearts of misers, can steal the hearts of crooks,
It's here and there and everywhere...all you have to do is look.
But some will still refuse it, yes, some won't let love in,
"Who needs this crazy, mushy stuff?" they say with a silly grin.
But deep inside they're thinkin", they'd really like to say.
"I love you very very much...more each and every day!"
But some men still have trouble, to let you see inside...
Those tender loving feelings, they think that they must hide.
Some have been hurt so deeply that they won't leave love in.
And that is such a crime, because Love's where healing does begin.
I know, because there is someone, who means the world to me
And he has feelings locked inside, where no one holds the key.
Bur something crazy happened, 'cause just the other day,
I found him buying presents, and giving hugs away.
He's been smiling. He's been laughing. He's been humming Christmas songs.
Why, he even took me shopping, so I know it won't be long.
'Till that old love light starts shining, and one little girl will start...
To see how easily that she can rule this Grandpa's heart.
