TIRED OF LIVING AND AFRAID OF DYING

from show boat

Life is like a show boat. The only difference is that the show is unique and only played once.

The actors are the people that you know, the loves that you had, and the hearts that you touched. Disagreements, sadness, failures and other less venturous moments are part of the show that goes on even if you don’t want it to go.

The river carries the boat. He must know something, more than I know, because I know nothing. It just keeps on rolling along.

Fish must swim, birds must fly. I had a love of my own. She’s gone now, but the show must roll on like the river. The river knows, I’ll roll along and look for a new life. Maybe next stop a new heart is to be conquered.

Only make me believe that I’ll love you.

The ol’man river don’t say nothing. I’m tired of living and afraid of dying…but the show call for my new act.

I can’t help loving that woman of mine.
