William Songtext

William Songtext
A miracle indeed
Said everyone but me
The first time I met him
He had just shaved
And had red bumps all down his neck
He said hello
Then his name
I shook his hand
And I did the same
I was a very well piece
He said ma′am after his yes and no's
Which was very rare those days
But I could appreciate something like that
For it was the way I was raised
Will

Will
William
A miracle indeed
Said everyone but me
I don′t go looking through my daughter's things
I never wanted to be one of those
There's nothing more than trust
A mother can gain
Plus she can′t keep quiet about anything
That goes on in her world
So when she said
Oh it′s nothing ma
I didn't think I was hearing a lie
But like these things always do
What′s true comes out in time
Will
William
Will
William
And he's so good with children
They sit upon his knee
And pretend they′re riding horses
When they're sitting on his knee
A miracle indeed
Said everyone but me
Most times the good deeds go unseen
Sometimes everybody′s got a camera
Maybe it was timing
Maybe it was luck
Maybe it was grace combined with that human stuff
There's nothing such as accidents I know
But they stood and cheered
When he walked in the room
It seemed that everybody was his friend
Before he could blush and say it's really too much
He closed his eyes and he counted to ten
Will
William
Will
William
A miracle indeed
Said everyone but me
I was listening to Coltrane′s A Love Supreme
When the telephone rang in the other room
It rang and it rang
And it would not stop
And by the time I found the answer
They had hung up
I sat down in the chair to catch my breath
But I stood up soon
When I saw lit by the moon
Two men speaking by the front door
When they saw me they stopped
And they quickly drove off
In a car I′m sure I'd seen before
Will you, won′t you
Do you, don't you feel
Willy nilly
Here′s the house key
Will
Will
William
Will
William
And he's so good with children
They sit upon his knee
And pretend they′re riding horses
When they're sitting on his knee
A miracle indeed
Said everyone but me
Most nights I hit the lights and fall straight to sleep
Lately I can't turn my mind off
I toss and I turn
Till I fall out of bed
Did I hear what I heard
Was what we separately said
Maybe I′m just getting old
And every time I bring it up to her
She just laughs and says
Really ma it′s fine
But like these things always do
What's true comes out in time
Will
