There's something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face

Folks, I'm telling you, birthing is hard and dying is mean- so get yourself a little loving in between.

Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die life is a broken-winged bird that can not fly. Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go life is a barren field frozen with snow.
