While You'Re There
When you arrive
All those there should strive to make you smile
And be ready to sacrifice their chair
In the hopes that you'll sit and stay a while
And see you happy every moment that you're there
While you're there
A drunk poet sits there unprepared
To express the beauty of a lady fair
But being the kind person that she is
She gives him ample time to declare
When you leave
All of those there who care about you know you're gone
And they pray your absence doesn't last too long
And they wonder at the moment you'll return
For your happiness and presence do they yearn
When you're gone
I think of you and erect a fantasy
Of you sitting there next to me
And amidst the laughter, a moment when our eyes meet
And we lean in and share a kiss so sweet
