Song #11 - Be Alright

---

BE ALRIGHT

We met at a bar in a corner seat
I was early and nervous and tragically
My back faced the door so I couldn’t see
What happened to my heart

I first heard your voice when I turned around
My new favorite view and my favorite sound
My eyes gave up and few words came out
How beautiful you are

We talked so much, nothing was wrong
The drinks untouched and the nineties song
Two became one and we sang along
But you needed something from me

You need me to be alright
So you can be alright
We’re gonna live this life together
Be alright
Dream a good dream tonight
Don’t let this chance slip from our hands forever

We rushed to the beach like two castaways
I called out your name from a Broadway stage
Our love was declared in a few magic days
And nothing felt so pure

We trusted we knew and we took the leap
Our once broken hearts counted every beat
But we skipped over pain that we both would need
To feel and heal and cure

And now we don’t know what to say
To cry or to fight or to walk away
The children we are have to learn to play
Between the bouts of war
And still I love you more

Be alright
So I can be alright
We’re gonna win this fight together
Be alright 
Dream a good dream tonight
Don’t let this chance slip from our hands forever

Let’s not let this chance slip from our hands forever
