Shine

I got a suitor waitin' for me
Shine, suitor, shine
He tall, he sweet, he woo eloquently
Shine, suitor, shine
He gonna be true and he gonna stay right
Shine, suitor, shine
He praise me all day and he love me all night
Shine, suitor, shine

I got a diamond waitin' for me
Shine, diamond, shine
Its face cut in antiquity
Shine, diamond, shine
Its fire burn like the love in his heart
Shine, diamond, shine
With it he say we never will part
Shine, diamond, shine

I got a future waitin' for me
Shine, future, shine
Its prospects good and its blessin's free
Shine, future, shine
Its path is long, sun an' flowers an' trees
Shine, future, shine
To light my suitor, my diamond and me
Shine, future, shine

I have no preference

One day I will find him
or he, me.
Either way, I have no preference
so long as we end up in the corner coffee shop--
I with my cinnamon dolce latte, he with his coffee, black
or is he a chai tea man?
Either way, I have no preference
so long as we both end up in the park at the corner of where I stop for a walk and where he works--CNN, where he is a researcher
or is he a high school teacher?
Either way I have no preference
so long as we both end up at the same table in the mall cafeteria because all other tables are full--I with my Chic-fil-a sandwich and a Coke, he with his Mongolian Beef and Dr. Pepper
or is he a Greek salad, Sobe man?
Either way, I have no preference
so long as I find him
or he, me.
