Movies of the MindOne stormy night, me and my wifewere watching some movie that was onbut rain came down, the power went outand we started talking of times long goneas we reminisced by candlelightthose mem'ries seemed to shine in the nightlike movies of the mindpassing before our eyesthey showed us the lovethat made up our livesall we leave behindgets captured in timecaptured by moviesmovies of the mindwe saw our first date, by that blue lakehow we were wrapped in blankets of starsI gave her a burgundy rose, the night I proposedand somehow it still blossomed in our heartsas we talked the past was a theater screenwe laughed and cried during ev'ry sceneof movies of the mindpassing before our eyesthey showed us the lovethat made up our livesall we leave behindgets captured in timecaptured by moviesmovies of the mindwell, the storm went passedthe tv and lights came onbut we turned them back offand stayed up till dawnwatching movies of the mindpassing before our eyesthey showed us the lovethat made up our livesall we leave behindgets captured in timecaptured by moviesmovies of the mind(c)2004 Robert George
