PeaceBang

These Lyrics Have Been Going Through My Mind All Day

A wonderful song from the show “Pippin” expresses how I feel today as I allow myself to wallow a bit over the end of my great romantic adventure with SweetieBang. The song is sung in the show by Catherine, a woman who meets and loves Prince Pippin and who loses him (but there’s ultimately a happy ending, of course!). SweetieBang does not have a “blunt, abrasive style” but the song perfectly expresses that sense of bittersweet regret any experienced woman feels at the end of a relationship with a truly good guy. He was the best to come along in a long, long while, and blessings be upon him.

I guess I’ll miss the man
Explain it if you can
His face was far from fine
But still I’ll miss his face
And wonder if he’s missing mine
Some days he wouldn’t say
A pleasant word all day
Some days he’d scowl and curse
But there were other days
When he was really…
even worse.

Some men are heroes
Some men outshine the sun
Some men are simple, good men
This man wasn’t one
And I won’t miss his moods
His gloomy solitudes
His blunt abrasive style
But please don’t get me wrong
He was the best to come along
In a long, long while….
