My Christmas Carol to my Nephew

Every once in a while I will hear a song that will inspire me or remind me of someone or take me back in time to a memory that makes me smile or makes me cry. Needless to say music is a huge part of who I am. I was listening to this song by India Arie. Although it is written for the special man in her life when I really listened to the words I thought it could be for any man or boy that you love very much if it fits their personality. The one I love like in the song is my nephew Isiah. Here are the words to the song Complicated Melody:

If he were a color

He'd be a deep dark forest green

If he were a car

He'd be a long stretch limousine

With room for all of humanity inside

Cause he is so giving

And he is so wise

If he were a number

He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind

If were an animal

He'd be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometimes

But if he were a song He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost can not sing it on key

But he means the world to me

If he were a building He'd be a beautiful cathedral

Cause he's so traditionally spiritual

If he were a dance

He'd be complicated like the tango

Exotic like a mango

But if here a song He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost can not sing it on key

But he means the world me

He ain't the reason for the sun and the moon

He is the reason for this here tune

Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)

Said he means the world to me

Me me me yeah

He means the world to me yeah

Complicated melody that complicated fellow he

He's a complicated melody

I almost can not sing it on key

I love you Izy Bear
