When You Were Born In May
 
when you were born in May
lilacs bloomed on that day
it was an early spring
with the blessings that it brings
when you are born in May
 
when you grew up in June
thankfully it wasn't too soon
your trust was a little bruised
and I know that you felt used
when you grew up one June
 
bad things happen sometimes to good souls
no one knows      just why
are we just a stone on that rocky road
just another cloud in the sky?
 
wherever you go
we'll follow
forever bye and bye
 
you left us in July
I don't remember a 'good-bye'
before we realized
letters from far away arrived
you had survived
 
bad things happen sometimes to good souls
no one knows      just why
are we just a stone on that rocky road
just another cloud in the sky?
 
wherever you go
we'll  follow
forever bye and bye
