Steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge Day 12/60 - Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra

Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang
I shot you down
Bang bang
You hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down

Reflection

You can find your soul mate at five years old, while you play the cowboys, a shot to the heart and you pretend to be dead. Everything is simple and innocent, friendship is the sprout from which love between adults will be born. The years pass and the feeling grows, the sweet memories of game's days turns on their smiles. But life is short and sometimes cruel. The sound of the bells are a shot to the heart, he is gone and there has been no time for a goodbye, nor can one make sense of death when it plays with our lives.
