(Ongoing) Story. THANKS, & HAPPIEST

"HE LIVES A LIE" (C.) 2006 by Stan Good, BMI

HIs Folks are both Good Christians
Like All..the Folks Back Home
He's Moved Out, & Lives Some Distance
These Last 3 Years on His Own

And Found Someone he's In-Love With
But Can't Marry in This State
'Love to Show His Love to Mama
But, 3 Years he's Had to Wait..

(REFRAIN)
& as Each Year Goes By...
HE LIVES A LIE...

So He Drives Home for Christmas
Greets his Family, All-Alone
Tells 'Em 'Bout The Great Big City
Where he Bought His Bachelor Home

Plays The Organ for The Church Folks
As He Has, Each Year Before,
Fills 'Em In, on "How He's Doing"
Hesitates to Tell 'Em More

(REFRAIN)
There's Good Reasons Why...
HE LIVES A LIE...

(BRIDGE, MOD UP)
He Knows God Made Him How He Is
& They Wouldn't Understand
& He'd Lose His Mothers Kiss
If She Knew he Loved a Man
It's O.K. if He Loves Jesus
(That's Just Fine with Mom & Dad)
But Their World would Fall to Pieces
Lord, His Truth would leave them Sad...
...enough To Cry...
HE LIVES A LIE...

(INSTRUMENTAL)

So Here Goes Another Christmas
Some Folks Happy, Some Folks Sad
This Charade is Now Completed
As He slowly Packs His Bags

He would Love to Break The News
But He'd Only Break Their Hearts
Fundamental Narrow Views
Love Their Myth...as He Departs

(REFRAIN)
Into His SILENT NIGHT...
HE LIVES A LIE...

(TAG)
"Hello" is Sometimes Sadder..Than "Goodbye"..
HE LIVES A LIE--
