EVERYDAY

(Ode to Stethoscope)

Everyday, my thoughts spin round and round and settle on you

Everyday, thoughts of you give me a tingle and a stir

Everyday, I wish I were near you

Everyday, I keep loving you

Everyday, my love keeps growing for you

Everyday, I wish I could speak to you

Everyday, the first dial on my phone reveals your name

Everyday, I talk to God about you

Everyday, I wonder if you love me

Everyday, I wish you were in my arms

Everyday, I wish you knew how I feel

Everyday, I wish I could make you know how I feel

Everyday, I want to celebrate your good qualities

Everyday, I thank God for you

Everyday, you feel far from me

Everyday, I long for you

Everyday, I ask, ‘will you long for me?’

Everyday, I become a little bit afraid

Everyday, I feel you will not want me!
