Whiskey And Smoke Rings

Whiskey shots burn down my throat

smoke rings dancing like dreams afloat

Radio's low but the memories scream

Your laughter lingers like a sweet moonbeam

Kissing you so soft on your forehead my lips silently saying the words my heart wanted to but wasn't aloud to

Your whisper's a melody spinning around

"I don't ever want this to end" you whispered those words in my ear

Your words tattooed on my heart

Never dead

The night air's thick with your perfume's ghost

Every breath I take feels like a toast

To the love we had and the nights so wild

Your face in my mind like a lost exile

Kissing you so soft on your forehead lips silently saying the words my heart wanted to but wasn't aloud to

Your whisper's a melody spinning around

"I don't ever want this to end" did you truly mean those words you said

Your words tattooed on my heart

Never dead

The clock ticks slow but the whiskey’s fast

Chasing moments that never last

Smoke rings break and fade away

But your shadow in my soul's here to stay

Kissing you so soft on your forehead lips silently saying the words my heart wanted to but wasn't aloud to

Your whisper's a melody spinning around

"I don't ever want this to end" you said

Your words tattooed on my heart

Never dead, I take another shot to the head and another toke blowing smoke rings I ask the smoke rings did she truly mean those words she said.........
