Face And Figure



It's not your face and figure that keep me hanging on.
It's your pace and vigor that keep me after dawn.
It's not your means and assets that keep me hanging on.
It's your scenes and facets that keep me after dawn.
It's not your flair and fashion that keep me hanging on.
It's your care and passion that keep me after dawn.
It's not your lure and glory that keep me hanging on.
It's your tour and story that keep me after dawn.
It's not your gaffes and blunders that keep me hanging on.
It's your laughs and wonders that keep me after dawn.
It's not your need and blindness that keep me hanging on.
It's your heed and kindness that keep me after dawn.
It's not your food and potions that keep me hanging on.
It's your mood and notions that keep me after dawn.
It's not your stick and carrot that keep me hanging on.
It's your love and merit that keep me after dawn.
