IN MY LIFE

Do you want to know a secret?

There are places I’ll remember all my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places had their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living, in my life I’ve loved them all. Is it because the world is round? Because the sky is blue? This is when I turn off my mind, relax and float downstream. After all, I’m only sleeping.

In my dream, in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, she says, let it be. We look at all the lonely people and we realize that there will be an answer if we let it be. Something tells us that the long and winding road leads to peace, if we just give it a chance. It’s simple. I know you, you know me…one thing I can tell you is we’ve got to be free. So let’s come together right now and scatter our best lives and wishes across the universe like water flowing out of a paper cup. Feel it? If we can do this eight days a week, then it won’t matter that Wednesday morning’s paper didn’t come. Life goes on within you and without you.

All you need is love. Say the word love. There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done. Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. Learn how to play the game. It’s easy and baby, you will be a rich man too. We’re not talking about money here, because money can’t buy you love. So do what you want to do, and go where you’re going to. Think for yourself. Don’t make it sad. Take a sad song, and make it better. If you let it under your skin, then you can begin, to make it better, better, better.

Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you. Understand that when I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody’s help in anyway. But now these days are gone and I’m not so self assured. Now I find, I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors. Now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seems to vanish in the haze. Life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends. Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. Do you hear me? When it rains it shines….it’s just a state of mind. If the rain comes they run and hide their heads. 
They might as well be dead, if the rain comes, if the rain comes. When the sun shines they slip into the shade, and sip their lemonade. When the sun shines, when the sun shines. Rain, I don’t mind. Shine, the weather’s fine. 

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me. Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on across the universe. I am he, as you are he as you are me and we are all together now. Come on it’s easy. Looking through the bent back tulips to see how the other half lives. Can you see the little piggies? Baby, you can drive my car, because as I already said today, money can’t buy me love. Tomorrow never knows, and tomorrow may rain, so I’ll follow the sun. Sun, sun, sun, here it comes. Remember to let it into your heart, then you can start to make it better. Makes no difference where you are or where you’d like to be. It’s all too much for me to take. 
The love that’s shining all around here. All the world is birthday cake so take a piece but not too much. Sail me on a silver sun where I know that I’m free. Show me that I’m everywhere and get me home for tea. 
It’s all too much for me to see. Maybe I’m the fool on the hill when you say goodbye and I say hello. Hello, hello. I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello. You say you want a real solution, well, you know we’d all love to see the plan. You ask me for a contribution, well, you know, we’re doing what we can. You know it’s gonna be alright. It all works out. It doesn’t matter much to me. Always know, sometimes think it’s me.
But you know, I know when it’s a dream. I think a “No,” I mean a “Yes,” but it’s all wrong. That is, I think I disagree. Let me take you down, but don’t let me down. It’s easy. In the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Stay safe, stay awesome, and stay in tune. Right now you are opening Spotify or Apple Music. I’m looking through you. You’re welcome. Dedicated to my brother in all things The Beatles…Chris DiChiara. (You won’t you know.)
