We watched Fiddler on the Roof tonight
I knew all the songs because you used to sing them
a long time ago

Memories are fine
a scar not a wound

When Golde and Tevye were singing
Do you love me
I wondered
Is it better to love then not
or to not then love?

Wondering is fine
a scar not a wound

It was a High School production
their closing night
the seniors cried at curtain call
I probably cried at my senior curtain call

Crying is fine
a scar not a wound
