Agree to Disagree
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
Agree to Disagree
Not really sure , just what to say
When thoughts of agreement , seem going astray
You say it's red , I call it white
Whatever the color , just doesn't seem right
Anger , resentment , and all those wrong things
Just build up annoyance , in my ears , it still rings
Just as fingerprints , are so unique
So is the way , that we critique
We hear the words , and cannot decide
To stand in and fight , or turn , run and hide
A simple fact , that we agree
On most of what , you say to me
The time and energy , excessive compliance
Our difference of opinion , phenomenal reliance ...
Is what makes our , connection so grand
That when we squabble , you're holding my hand
The way that you look , in the eyes that are red
And letting me know , that we'll soon be in bed
Forgiving , forgetting , the continuous dread
While kissing my lips , we forget what was said
I need and I love you , this much is so true
That while disagreeing , we know what to do
As time marches on , troubles soon come to light
That you're still beside me , and we have a fair fight
