what was it?

if it wasn't love
then
what was it
where did it end

where to begin?

those 18 years
those laughs & those tears
those joy's & those fears

what was it?

our three kids
our daughters
our son
our oughta's
our boughta's
our shoulda's
if we coulda's
they shoulda' been fun

so
let me know
what was it?

was it in your eyes
or mine
was all the rest
just lies
just a test
guess we both did our best
but we never did find
what it 'twas
because
me & you
never knew
'twat is was
& was it true

what was it?

all the tribulations
all the sensations
all the trials
all the whiles
were they just stipulations?
just passin' time
all the whiles
no rythmn, no rhyme
just our styles

what was it?

what kept us together
thru stormy weather
was it love
was it hate
was it fate
was it fear
guess we found out too late
that it 'twas all of the above

what was it?

that we had
then it went bad
how sad

what was it?

i wish i knew
then maybe
baby
i'd still have you

what was it

that we lost
God i hate
payin' this cost
maybe it was fate

but, what was it?

that went away
what it 'twas
i can't say
'cause
i don't know
guess we never let it show

what was it?
a timely pause
a refrain
but, god, there's so much pain

what was it?

that's the question
that be the suggestion
it was just indigestion
heart burn
we live & we learn

but,
what was it?
we had
that went so bad
how sad

what was it
