WHEN THE MUSIC BECOMES POETRY: Always, Bon Jovi

ALWAYS

always1.1This Romeo is bleeding, but you can’t see his blood. It’s nothing but some feelings, that this old dog kicked up. It’s been raining since you left me. Now I’m drowning in the flood, you see I’ve always been a fighter, but without you I give up. Now I can’t sing a love song, like the way it’s meant to be, well, I guess I’m not that good anymore, but, baby, that’s just me. And I will love you, baby, always. And I’ll be there forever and a day, always. I’ll be there ’til the stars don’t shine ’til the heavens burst and the words don’t rhyme. And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind, and I’ll love you always. Now your pictures that you left behind, are just memories of a different life, some that made us laugh, some that made us cry, one that made you have to say goodbye. What I’d give to run my fingers through your hair, to touch your lips, to hold you near. When you say your prayers, try to understand, I’ve made mistakes, I’m just a man. When he holds you close, when he pulls you near. When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear, I’ll wish I was him ’cause those words are mine, to say to you ’til the end of time. Yeah, I will love you, baby, always, and I’ll be there forever and a day, always. If you told me to cry for you, I could. If you told me to die for you, I would. Take a look at my face, there’s no price I won’t pay, to say these words to you. Well, there ain’t no luck, in these loaded dice, but, baby, if you give me just one more try, we can pack up our old dreams and our old lives. We’ll find a place where the sun still shines, and I will love you, baby, always, and I’ll be there forever and a day, always, I’ll be there ’til the stars don’t shine, ’til the heavens burst and the words don’t rhyme. And I know when I die, You’ll be on my mind, and I’ll love you, always.
