Turn Around

a poem by Gautam Dhar

Tonight I’ll sing while the stars are asleep
To see you through when the times are steep

So turn around won’t your turn around too
While the sun’s so warm and true
Oh so much this life would bring
So turn around ‘fore the day is through

Thinking back ’bout the way it’s been
When the nights seemed oh so long
Lord I knew all this love within
Would keep my faith when the world was wrong

So sing along won’t you sing an old song
While the day’s still young at dawn
A day so bright and warm as spring
So sing along ‘fore the music’s gone

Just come along with the birds and the bees
Sing a song with the redwood trees
Lord it feels like the time again
To sing along in the late summer breeze

So turn around won’t you turn around too
Come along ‘fore the time is through
Sing along won’t you sing an old song
While the sun’s so warm and true.
