While looking through old photos,
this photo inspired "Cool" to be written.

Cool
Dedicated to Charlie for being so cool... once upon a time.

You, in a silhouette, wrapped in curtains
Dangling a Cigarette, tryin' to look like
You don't notice me, watching you look... Cool

Chorus:
Tell my heart not to feel this way
Tried so hard but I could play it... Cool

A Japanese Hotel, rice paper walls
They will never tell, but did they hear us
In the next room, when you're near me, you said act... Cool

Chorus:
Tell my heart not to feel this way
Tried so hard but I could play it... Cool

Bridge:
You, standing next to me, me, standing next to him
He's so good to me, would have never seen him
If it weren't for you, you're so Cool

And no matter what you do, you'll always be the one who
No matter what you do, you'll always be the one who
Taught me, who taught me what is Cool...
So tell me, what is Cool ?

You, in the spotlight, me, across the room
You come back into my life, tellin' me that it's my time
Relax & be yourself, and it'll be... Cool

Chorus:
Take a deep breath & let spirit in
Let go & forgive & we begin to be... Cool

And no matter what you do, you'll always be the one who
No matter what you do, you'll always be the one who
Taught me, who taught me what is Cool...
So tell me, what is Cool ?
And you said, nothing is simple(3x's)... but real is... Cool
