Couldn’t Believe
Suddenly, you were so real
A simple smile, and all I could feel
Was the pulse of my heart falling for you.
In your eyes, time it stood still
I realized, swallowing hard
As I turned from a moment that could never be true.
I couldn’t believe that it would show
I couldn’t believe that you would know
Looking back, did I hear a sigh?
Touch me now. do not deny
That you’re wanting me, I could be wanting you too.
I couldn’t believe you just didn’t know
I couldn’t believe I just didn’t show you how I feel
Might we never face this chance again
Life goes on there’s no time to pretend
Show yourself it can’t be wrong
In every way you will grow strong, till the end
Where are you now? I wish I could tell
I think of you, wishing you well for a life
That arose from the depths of our dream
I couldn’t believe that it would show
I couldn’t believe that you would know
I couldn’t believe you just didn’t know
I couldn’t believe I just didn’t show you how I feel
Symphony of Love
With my fingers through her hair
As we dance around this space
Floating in the magic of her eyes
Is a spark that shines of youth
With an innocence so bare
She lays her head to rest upon my soul
Round and round in circles pressing closer to the edge
To the one place I never thought we’d go
If I could be with the one behind your thoughts
You know I’d care for you
No, no matter what the cost
And through this life we would find
Together we’re a symphony of love
A softness to our step
So tender this embrace
Her kiss of life, echoes through my ear
To be kind to ourselves
Is to find the trust within
There’s a fundamental beauty throughout our years
Would you be my lover, would you be the one to stay
She looks to me and I swear I heard her say
If I could be with the one behind your thoughts
You know I’d care for you
No, no matter what the cost
And through this life we would find
Together we’re a symphony of love
You and I
Together in a dream
We’ve got the rest of our lives, as we
Celebrate a symphony of love
If I could be with the one behind your thoughts
You know I’d care for you
You’re the reason for the sun and moon
In our hearts we would find
Together we’re a symphony of love
Slipping Away
Little Katie just threw up again
She don’t like peas nor mashed potatoes
He Mama’s thinking ‘bout the past
A trip down south she was only 19
Baking in the sun spreading lotion and cream
On the tops of her lovely tomatoes
And I hear it just gets harder every day
To see the present while the past just slips away
Mr. Meakin’s in the backyard
Picking weeds for the neighborhood party
At 22 he had a dream
Win the heart of a pretty brunette
Get paid a lot of money but he ain’t there yet
He’s one lonely dude who’s a little bit tardy
And I hear it just gets harder every day
To seize the moment while the past just slips away
Satisfaction was never guaranteed
And dreaming of a dream will never set you free
Deep inside, well you know just what to do
Go crazy for the moment and live a life that’s true
The sun is setting over Eveningdale
A couple in the car has just started kissing
She really thinks he thinks she’s fine
Forty years later they would never forget
That first night of loving was the best thing yet
That they are now surely missing
And I hear it just gets harder every day
To peak the passion while that clock just ticks away
Satisfaction was never guaranteed
And dreaming of a dream will never set you free
Deep inside, well you know just what to do
Go crazy for the moment and live a life that’s true
Anything
Yesterday, you were a boy
Playfully caught up in an innocent world
So possessive of your toys
Low at you, how have you grown?
Tender in your heart I see
A wisdom all your own
I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you
Yesterday, you were a girl
Sparkling eyes you were so quick to surprise
In your ribbons and your curls
Look at you, set yourself free
Fearlessly flying my sunshine angel
Gone so high it just can’t be
I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you
Yesterday, when we were young
Tender in our hearts we see
Over the years what we’ve become
Look at you, where have you gone?
Each moment brings change, we good-bye to ourselves
And you know it won’t last long
I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you
Holiday
Once I lived on the sunny side of the street
Life was good and the grass was oh so sweet
As more things came there came the day
I kissed my sweet childhood away
I remember the time when I first saw you standing there
You melted my heart as we jumped through the rain
You and I are due for a holiday
You and I are due for a sweet summer’s day
We made it through times when our luck was really down
Living on pancakes, spaghetti and cheese by the pound
If life’s so good, then where does it go?
Are there some things we should never know?
I remember the time when I first saw you standing there
You melted my heart as we jumped through the rain
You and I are due for a holiday
You and I are due for a sweet summer’s day
40 Days
Forty days and forty nights I fought like a dog
Scratching for you love
Now the thing that’s on me most is
It’s a crime it’s a shame never were we more
And I thought that I knew you
Please, say there’s nothing I do to you
While turning your back my way
You looked so good I cried and cried
Left alone like a prisoner locked within yourself
Lies a heart be it made of stone cold nights
When we shivered, ever were we more?
And I thought that I knew you
Please, say there’s nothing I do to you
While turning your back my way
My Lady Alaya
Face to face and eye to eye
Tracing your smile from here where we lie
With stars above and the Earth below
You showed me the way and now I know
You believe in me
And I believe in you
Like the morning sun
Through a summer rain
Luminescent Blues, Sunsets of green
Each moment, awaken your love for the day
Flashes before me all we have seen
Seize it, seal it, then cast it away
Forever through all time I’m here for you
Through good and bad you set me free
From my mind I give you all that I
Have ever been or will ever be
Nothing is ever as it appears
Is all just a memory, even these tears
Deep inside are we not the same
One with a billion different names.
This I learn from you
And you learn from me
Like our precious child
With no possessions we kept moving onward
Into the night we’ve come to this
Tossing, turning, and no chosing sides
Lost in the moment of our kiss
Ever so closer, cresting that wave we collide
Day after day your laughter brings to me
Heaven on Earth in this empty space
Pulled together in all simplicity
By nothing more than our embrace
Forever through all time I’m here for you
Through good and bad you set me free
From my mind I give you all that I
Have ever been or will ever be
When the Lights Go Out
Once there was this boy and a girl
Born to be together but torn between
Two separate worlds
He was a lover and she was a lover of love now
But soft on temptation
In the heat of the light of the moon
They realized what they had done
Simple were the pleasures
Of all the precious treasures that grew up
Lost in the moments
Their two hearts beating in tune began to beat as one
When the lights go out I’ll be by your side
When time stands still I will be your friend
You and I in the midst of a dream
I will walk that path with you until it ends
The day it came to happen
It seemed as though their lives had just started
They say that nothing’s forever,
But the love in their eyes
Like a circle never dies nor begins
Think of all the trouble we cause
By the pain of not knowing, and feeling so fragile
The magic of life is the faith
That we feel from within, when somebody tells you
When the lights go out, I’ll be by your side
When time stands still, I will be your friend
You and I in the midst of a dream
I will walk that path with you until it ends.
If Only
If only we could find it in our hearts
We could bring this wall crashing down
Obstacles of distance in our way
I can’t reach to touch your world
Without you touching me
I could sit this whole night through
On the verge of asking you
Till our hearts they come crashing down
You catch me every time
With just how beautiful you are
I see more in your face everyday
I want you by my side
As you’re gazing through my window
Coming closer to the edge in every way
If only we could find it in the fire
Of our souls it seems so simple
I feel each and every moment pass away
Captured we fall
Out of silence I don’t care what we say
To do you good, it does me good
You know it’s good
Just to hold you this way
Moving On
Another night and your heart is pounding
You take a rest but the beat is surrounding
Coming over you
The city lights in your garters and laces
Another show and you’ve got no traces
Of the life you once knew
Is this the last train now you’re riding on
Is the world passing you by
On your course through the times
Of growth and of pain
Will you learn to take a stand
Could you ever stop on a dream?
Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on
You quench your thirst making love to a cigarette
The heat extends into the depths of your soul
Where no one’s gone before
We play pretend and it’s nothing serious
Our outsides in and our insides out
And we don’t play anymore
Is this the last train now we’re riding on
Is the world passing us by
On our course through the times
Of growth and of pain
Will we learn to take a stand
Could we ever stop on a dream?
Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on
Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on
Connected Again
I’m so crazy for you
Possessed by the magic you do
Enchanted this hurt fades away
We’re together again
Nothing matters as I
Draw closer to you in our eyes
There’s a passion no one can deny
We’ve connected again
And now that we are strong
I feel the pain subsides
We’re just where we belong
Our love reigns true
You’re my warmest desire
Your touch brings me higher and higher
With you I am lost in a daze
We’ve connected again
And now that we are strong
I feel the pain subsides
We’re just where we belong
Our love reigns true
And time can’t take this away
I feel your love it shines
Forever yours I will stay
Where our love reigns true |
