I wrote two songs this week, one a break-up song and this more jolly one – so I decided to post whichever song my cat placed his paw on first. Not sure the outcome is valid since I only have a virtual cat right now – name of Geoffrey Kitten, a key character in my novel, currently undergoing edits and rewrites.
Lockdown Lullaby: Because the Kiss Is Missing
Why do you remind me of something that is missing?
Just as I’ve forgotten, you do it every time you do
Remind me of the kissing, because the kiss is missing
I’m missing all the kissing and I am missing you
If you were a flower I would leave you growing there
If you were a spaceman I’d beg you to stay
If you were a mermaid I would let you drift and dream
Though I would miss you very much, I’d miss you every day
Why do you remind me of something that is missing?
Just as I’ve forgotten, you do it every time you do
Remind me of the kissing, because the kiss is missing
I’m missing all the kissing and I am missing you
If you were a honey bee, I would let you stay for tea
If you were a butterfly I would set you free
If you were a star above, I would take your picture
And put it in my pocket, to keep me company
Why do you remind me of something that is missing?
Just as I’ve forgotten, you do it every time you do
Remind me of the kissing, because the kiss is missing
I’m missing all the kissing and I am missing you
I wish I was an engineer, ‘cause I could make a bridge to you
Or fashion up an air balloon to drop me at your door
The longer we are far apart the more I grow to love you
As every single day goes by, I love you more and more
That’s why you remind me of something that’s missing
Just as I’ve forgotten, you do it every time you do
Remind me of the kissing, because the kiss is missing
I’m missing all the kissing and I am missing you
Sugar on the Bee 
This is wonderful, Jilly…. even more so as I am missing the kissing from my guy…
