A Place

for Karen Gordon

1 It’s different when it’s good from how I thought it would be when it wasn’t. 2 With you, love is different from how I thought it would be before I met you. I can’t think how I knew you’re the one I wanted. 3 It’s different when you’re here from how I thought it would be when you weren’t. I guess that I’m not good at thinking. 4 When I’m alone it’s different from what I hoped it would be when I wasn’t. If there’s a place for everyone I wish that yours were here.
