5. Marshmallow World: It's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground. It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year 'round. Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees. And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze. The world is your snowball, see how it grows. That's how it goes whenever it snows. The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along. It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl. It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world.

7. We are the time. We are the famous We are the time. We are the famousmetaphor from Heraclotus the Obscure.We are the water, not the hard diamond,the one that is lost, not the one that stands still.We are the river and we are that greekthat looks himself into the river. His reflectionchanges into the waters of the changing mirror,into the crystal that changes like the fire.We are the vain predetermined river,in his travel to his sea.The shadows have surrounded him.Everything said goodbye to us, everything goes away.Memory does not stamp his own coin.However, there is something that stayshowever, there is something that bemoans.

She’s as bright as the Dallas sky.She always holds her head up high.She loves the company of her family.She has faith in God’s greater plan.She trusts that I’m a good man.That’s why I’ll always believe that she’s like Texas, and she likes me. Her eyes are green like the trees in Nacogdoches.Her teeth are white as cotton in the fall.And when she laughs you’ll always take noticebecause her heart’s charm shines right through it all.
