~Meet Joe Black~
You're
not death, you're just a kid in a suit. (The suit came with the body I took.)
It's not what you say about Drew, it's what you don't say. (Maybe you're not
listening.) Oh yes I am. There's not an ounce of excitement, not a whisper of a
thrill. This relationship has all the passion of a pair of tit-mice. I want you
to get swept away, I want you to levitate, I want you to sing with rapture and
dance like a dervish. (Oh that's all.) Yeah, be deliriously happy, or at least
leave yourself open to be. (OK, be deliriously happy, I shall....I shall do my
upmost.) I know, it's a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession,
something you can't live without.
I
say fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love
you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head and
listen to your heart, and I'm not hearing any heart. Cos the truth is honey
there's no sense living your life without this, to make the journey and not fall
deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, cos
if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
Stay
open, who knows, lightning could strike.
Do
you mind if I raise a little caution flag?
You
maybe the pro Joe, but I know who you are....and....
You're looking at a man who tonight is not walking through the valley of the
shadow of death he's galloping into it. At the same time the business that he
built with his own hands and his own head has been comandeered by a couple of
cheap pirates and oh yes, I almost forgot, my daughter's fallen in love with
death.
Susan
is my daughter, she has a wonderful life ahead of her you're going to deprive
her of it and you're telling me you're sorry? Well I'm sorry, apology not
accepted. (I don't care Bill, I love her.) How perfect for you, to take what
ever you want because it please's you, that's not love. (Then what is it?) Some
aimless infatuation which for the moment you feel like indulging, it's missing
everything that matters. (Which is what?) Trust, repsonsibility, taking the
weight for your choices and feelings and spending the rest of your life living
up to them, and above all, not hurting the object of your love.
You
say you love her but you don't know what love is, she loves you but she doesn't
know who you are. You make a deal you're breaking it. Bottom line is Joe, you're
swindling her soul and you're doing it with your eyes wide open. (I don't like
what you're saying.) I'm past caring what you like and what you don't like,
you're stealing my daughter and I'm not going to let you. (You're not going to
let me?) No I'm not going to let you. (Are you threatening me?) Yeah I certainly
hope so, yeah.
I've
loved Susan from the moment she was born, and I love her now and every minute in
between. And what I dream of is a man who will discover her, and that she will
discover a man who will love her, who is worthy of her, who is of this world of
this time. And has the grace and compassion and fortitude to walk beside her as
she makes her way through this beautiful thing called life.
Multiply
it by infinity and take it to the depth of forever and you will still have
barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.
Don't
blow smoke up my ass, you'll ruin my autopsy.
It's
hard to let go isn't it? (Yes it is Bill). Well that's life, what can I tell
you.
