Addie Brownlee: Music

Blessing

(Addie Brownlee)
---
I hope you keep your hair and your lucidity
As you grow older
I hope you wake up tomorrow baby
With no trace of that bum shoulder

I hope you find a way
To rid the world of poverty and disease
I hope Nelson Mandela
Presents your Nobel Prize for peace

But I hope you never find love
I hope you're always thinking of me
I hope you never hold someone else
The way you held onto me
I hope you never find love
Scratch this in stone
I hope you're sleeping well
But I hope you're sleeping alone

I hope when the pope needs some perspective
He picks up the phone and calls you
I hope you're never weary or hungry
Or bitter or blue

I hope the New York Times
Calls your first novel perfection
I hope all your sweaters come back in style
And the Republicans lose the next election

But I hope you never find love
I hope you're always thinking of me
I hope you never hold someone else
The way you held onto me
I hope you never find love
I hope you're always thinking of me
I swear I will get over you
Before you get over me
I hope you never find love
Scratch this in stone
I hope you're sleeping well
But I hope you're sleeping alone

I hope you win the lottery without even playing
And everything works out the way it ought to
I hope a couple different people name their children after you
And you never run out of luck or hot water
