OKAAAAAAAAAY,

So I DID declare at the tail-end of last week's Mentor deal that I'd try to get more involved, so TA-DA: "Slippery Slope"!

I realize I'm at a disadvantage submitting a simple lyric (understandably, there's more to critique when you have a fully-produced song), but hey, baby steps still get you where you're going, right?

At the very least, I figure some of the JPF'ers who might not normally see samples of my work will get a chance to take a gander at this one.

Thank you for your consideration.....

Beth

“Slippery Slope”
© 2008 Lyrics, Beth Williams, BMI

A dusting of snow
You begged me to go
To the store ‘cause you wanted a sled
Big BOY, six years old
Stuffed up with a cold
You were tired of staying in bed

Now who could resist that sniffley smile?
I said well okay, but just for a while

We had so much fun
You tried every one
‘Til that racer with stripes caught your eye
But what happened then
In aisle number ten
Is a blur, you were gone, no good-bye

Chorus:
God, don't let me start
Down that slippery slope
I'm dangling here
From the end of my rope
I need You right now
Please help me to cope
Don’t know where he is
But I can’t give up hope

I go on TV
Did anyone see
My sweet boy, aren't there any new clues?
Soon winter is gone
I try to be strong
Then they call me to say they found shoes

Chorus

My mother goes with me, "I'm sure it's not him"
But I walk thru the station and faces are grim
I stare in that bag, the tears spill from my eyes
They could’ve been yours but they’re not the right size

Chorus

Outro:
Going on three years this coming December
Hard to believe, but now hard to remember
Your freckley nose or the curls on your head
I just see a tissue dropped next to a sled
