A Few Steps At A Time

By Felix L. Perry

I strolled along the rocky shore once more

Sang a love song that I heard somewhere before

Stopped and lingered neath a blue harvest moon

Wondered if I’d get my useless life back soon

Chorus:            I’m just taking life a few steps at a time

Running from dark shadows I can’t find

Building up my resistance to the blues

I’m just taking life a few steps at a time

I stumbled on a beach stone in the sand

The breakers they just seemed to understand

All that was and all that could have been

Found a seashell that my mind could wander in

Chorus

In the distance a lady’s silhouette I spied

Could it be or had my eyes just lied

Another heartbeat walking in my thoughts of blue

Offering a promise of tomorrow brand new

Chorus

I’m just taking life a few steps at a time
