Every Now and Then

about

Every now and then I wonder what would have happened if I were born a giraffe, or if I entered a black hole in space, or if I had gone ahead and talked with Dennis Kucinich when he was Mayor of Cleveland and came to my high school scouting civics, public interest and debating talent. If I did that I'd only have to wonder what would happen if I were born a giraffe or enetered a black hole in space or became who I am now.

Every Now and Then
Music and Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone

I didn't mind when it started to raining
I didn't care when it began to get cold
I didn't notice when they all began complaining
I didn't even know

Didn't expect how completely it would happen
Wasn't prepared for the how or the why
Didn't forsee either the wildness or the wonder
Just didn't see the signs

Hmmm,
But every now and then, when I thought of what it could have been
And every now and then when I saw how it could be
Maybe it might not have been much of a difference but
I know I would appreciate it now

I didn't mind when you said you were worried
I didn't think you would be going away
Didn't know better than to mind my own business
It just seemed better that way

I never knew how much it would matter
I didn't picture how it all would end
I didn't plan on how hard it would hit me
I didn't really know

Mmm,
But every now and then,
when I think of what it could have been
Every now and then when I see how it could be
Maybe it wouldn't have made much of a difference but
I know I appreciate it now

Every now and then
every now and then
every now and then
every now and then
