APPRECIATION
(Words and music; Colin Reece)

From the Album 'Red Wing' by Colin Reece

Lessons in love. We've all been here. If you haven't - your lucky.

Why'd you wake that morning with a problem in your hair
Finding that the temperature was far too much to bear
Searching for the reasons how and why fore, when and where
If answers serve to hurt your pride
Then keep the questions deep inside
And hang on and appreciate my love
Hang on and appreciate my love.

How was I to know it babe and how was I to tell
Cos I can still remember times when you loved me so well
But now the market's closing and the goods are hard to sell
I guess like it or like it not
I'll pay the price cos I forgot
To hang on and appreciate your love
Hang on and appreciate your love.

Now don't think me indifferent and don't think I can't cry
It's just that after all these years I'm used to saying goodbye
So fare-thee-well my pretty one and I won't question why
For though I'm burning to the core
I know that I can do no more
Than hang on and appreciate our love
Hang on and appreciate our love.

So listen to me closely friend to all I have to say
Now that is one fine lady you may realise one day
And if you don't then know she may be spirited away
Compare tomorrow's mysteries
With yesterday's sweet memories
And hang on and appreciate her love
Hang on and appreciate her love.
