I was chasing the Blue Bird of happiness

Just waiting for some considerate lady to say yes

Just trying to minimize the moments of foolishness

Oh Honey you look so fine in that dress,

But the spring of romance blew away too fast

Like the cold storm winds that test every mast

The Devil's rain unrestrained leaving me aghast

The love I had for you I foolishly thought it would last,

Suddenly we find that life is even shorter than we guessed

A biographical movie that is way too compressed

The fool that I was when I trusted my mistress Celeste

Was there any maternal call when I put my head to her chest?

No my friend it was merely that I must have been too obsessed

A lasting love was just an illusion that should have been in jest

No woman ever stays long enough to ever be impressed

I am merely a visitor only a temporary guest!

The Blue Bird of happiness just flew from its burning nest

Human nature will always be unfulfilled and seeking more zest

No matter what a good man does or how he's tried his best

We incurable romantics destined for defeat we must often confess,

Oh God you created this strange chaotic world

And you allowed Satan to own it as each moment was unfurled

Now everything in creation is upside down and twirled

Just as elusive is that lady brown eyed and hair that's curled,

Forgive me for having this mind that remembers what it feels

Gone are those magic moments my fate is sealed

With scars on his wounded heart too easily revealed

Lord please give some kind of magical shield.

For I've grown a bit naive and too fragile to heal

I should have turned away from that nasty wench Lucille

She was always trying to seduce me knowing I could still feel

Another glass of wine bar tender trying to numb any zeal,

Blue Bird of happiness only a fool runs after you

Somewhere all those dreams went disappearing in a sky of blue

Like an animal caught in a trap all I can do is just chew

Baby I was mesmerized by those eyes of blue,

You see I was my worst enemy

Deceived by sea to shining sea

A woman who would be standing behind me

All those myths and legends told me I'd be free,

Like a ghost whispering those loving lies

Like she and I would see eye to eye

Her respect you could never buy

That she would be around till the day you died!
