choked up

Audrey Cook 1955 (Los Angeles)



i don't know how this happened
I never bothered to look it up
out of the blue
i came crashing into you
I wondered
was this a change of luck?
My mind is swimming
with thoughts of you
and im all choked up
cant get you off my mind
until im all spaced out
and going half out of my mind
the Universe is doing strange things to me
like the opposite
of getting back at me
my life before
had been vicious and mean
but the window
has been wiped clean
and I've been given
a new license of luck
because of your beautiful soul
im all choked up
