In the little shtetl where I’’m from
we say “”gesundheit”” when we sneeze
Since I’’ve been at mother’’s knees
I know that for a fact
And when someone loses all they have
we always say “”As long as you have you health…………..””
But what, God Forbid, if you lose that?
If we laugh and there’’s nothing funny
then we laugh at that
For pain we laugh
For loss we laugh
And soon……
There’’s nothing left
in the world
to cry for
From ‘Days of Together’
DAYS OF TOGETHER
LIKE FALLEN SNOW
MAYBE SHIRTS ARE EASIER
When Bobby and Bobbie Made Music Together
