Twinkling Bird ©2005 Richard March Honey you're my heart light, my beacon in the dark night Baby you're my bright smile when the world's a frown Even when I'm deadbeat, you get me on my tired feet Make me do my best dance, spinning 'round and 'round Momma you're my Strong Queen, really, you're my everything I want to sing a new song, that you've never heard And when you tuck me in tight, I dream of pretty starlight Flying right beside me, my Twinkling Bird You know I've had some hard times, days without a lifeline Seen my share of midnights, that were lonely, cold Running circles guessing, drowning in the questions. "Could've, should've, would've," well it just gets old When I take a face fall, end up in a slow crawl You catch me with a soft style, and some simple words I'm quickly cured You 'mind me of the good things, my ever-loving Little Wing I will always be your Twinkling Bird What if I'm the last one, step slow of the fast one? Would you shut the shop up, and pull my picture down Momma will you be there, even when we're both scared? Will you take my hand and steady shaky ground? Cassie take a deep breath, we ain't even there yet Lord knows when the time comes, I'm gonna trouble the nest Watch you dive and crest When you pull a heartstring, remember you're my Little Wing And I will always be your, Twinkling Bird No matter where you take to, my love will be inside you Close your eyes and see me, your Twinkling Bird.
