I’m Not Lisa
by Jessi Colter
I’m not Lisa
My name is Julie
Lisa left you
years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won’t leave you
’Til the sunlight
has touched your face.
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here
Drowning in your tears
Here
Where you’ve stayed for years
Crying Lisa
Lisa.
I’m not Lisa
My name is Julie
Lisa left you
years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won’t leave you
’Til the sunlight
shines through your face.
She’s not Julie.
