Made My Day

MADE MY DAY
EMG

Woke up this morning I was feeling fine, haven’t heard from you so I thought I’d give you a call.
Last time I saw you – you looked like a goddess that stepped out of a dream, fingernails polished super excited Eagle Midnight Green.
And that hat you were wearing tilted to one side – made you look mysterious, like you were trying to hide.
I’m not sure if I told you how good you looked that day.
I just want to call and tell you what I thought about that evening that we shared together – in a friendly awkward way.
If nothing else, it gets me ecstatic and gets me through the day.
Then I stop and think about those fingernails, “Eagle Midnight Green.”

Pull Me Through

PULL ME THROUGH

I need something I really do – I think I need your Love to pull me through.
If you could place the stars in the sky, and change the river at high tide, I know you’re the one that can pull me through.
I don’t need an alibi I just need your love as a guide. So, I will know which way to go. I just need you – to pull me through.
When days are dark and I don’t know what to do, I need your Love to pull me through,
There are times when I get confused that’s why I need your Love to pull me through.
I may struggle from day to day, that’s why I need your Love, to show me the way – at the end of the day, I need your Love – to pull me through.
I don’t need no one – but you to turn me around – and pull me through.
