1. WHEN THE SWEET TURNS SOUR
When life is SWEET
it’s such a treat
everything steadfast and upbeat
This is when the sweet turns sour…
A flirtatious glance
we’re both in a trance
flying high in a deep romance
When the sweet turns sour…
Tie the knot
over time, the memories we blot
soon what’s left is a huge empty spot
This is when the sweet turns sour…
Short a hug, then a kiss
never realizing what’s amiss
love gone awry, no longer full of bliss
When the sweet turns sour…
When you make me smile
yet all the while
you fail to see through the guile
This is when the sweet turns sour…
The craftiness of one’s ill heart
can cause a pain that’s off the charts
will you then realize how it smarts
When the sweet turns sour…
Your warm embrace
will only momentari ly erase
the neglect and hurt – now who’s the ace
This is when the sweet turns sour…
A bond gone SOUR
more, then most, within the hours
you and I it threatens to devour
When the sweet turns sour…
