“Forgotten Love Parades”
Copyright by Frank A. DeCenso, Jr.
[Vs1]
Every love
song has a purpose,
Even as the
music fades;
There are some hearts that beat faster,
But for some they never play…
Some words may be a bit too many,
Some
notes a bit off key;
In the
silence between those songs,
All the lonely hearts will be.
CHORUS
On the road of lonely dreamers,
Some live love's masquerade;
Beneath the tattered streamers,
They don't know it but they're in
Forgotten love parades.
[Vs2]
There’s a
place where love’s abandoned,
Still meet with plastic smiles;
And what they thought they wanted,
Are just ashes in a pile…
All that loneliness can promise,
Is a wilted blackened rose;
Leaving
stranded hearts to wander,
That's how this song always goes.
CHORUS
On the road of lonely dreamers,
Some live love's masquerade;
Beneath the tattered streamers,
They don't know it but they're in
Forgotten love parades.
[Vs3]
Strangers hide under dark streetlights,
Put there by surrender’s call,
They capture all the lovers,
Who gave up on giving all...
They forgot they have a reason,
To break
free from yesterday -
All those beats of dancing heartaches,
Are just
bumps along their way.
CHORUS
On the road of lonely dreamers,
Some live love's masquerade;
Beneath the tattered streamers,
They don't know it but they're in
Forgotten love parades.
