Tank running empty
Indifference feels like ice
Not much left to give

I'm right here with you as you're growing everyday
I feel the warmth shine from your smile
You will move on and soon our time will pass away
So let's reflect on this a while

You can become whatever you would like to be
I see the future in your eyes
Wherever you're going take some time for memories
For these are the best days ever lives

We deal with our lives as we're living day to day
We step in inches not in miles
As we discover that we learn in our own way
We have our own unique style

You can become whatever you would like to be
I see the future in your eyes
Wherever you're going take some time for memories
For these are the best days ever lives

Everyday there's a challenge you can seek
If you said your goals in sight
You can get through any problems that you meet
If you try

You can become whatever you would like to be
I see the future in your eyes
Wherever you're going take some time for memories
For these are the best days ever lives

Another year passes by
Never to relive
Another page is turned
Never to read again
Time marches on
Never to return
The clock moves forward
The gap closes
Reminding us to savor every moment
As that window of life steadily closes

It's cold outside
I'm all alone
The wind is blowing hard out to sea
Is it warm outside
I want to know
Looking up to the sky I see a Christmas tree

Before you said goodbye
Did you think I'd be the last to know
I'm going on a trip without a course
Is there something that I'll run into
On my own

Your dark brown eyes
They could see it all
The pain inside that nearly made me fall
The dark brown leaves
In the fall of life
Winter days are slowly moving on

Before we say our last goodbye
Don't you think that we should let our love go
I'm going on a trip without a course
Is there something that you're running from
On your own

The wind is blowing hard out to sea
Before we say our last goodbye
Don't you think that we should let our love go
I'm going on a trip without a course
Is there something that you're running from

If only another time another place
We could escape this life and run away
If only another time

Across the ocean so far away
A chance encounter brought you my way
But roots have planted those family trees
Another time.. What could have been?

If only another time another place
We could escape this life and run away
If only another time

Words shared between us so easily
To get us through those lonely nights with fantasy
In playful moments a distant kiss
Time shows no mercy hit or miss

If only another time another place
We could escape this life and run away
If only another time

Time changes, life passes
For all we see
Shadows of our memories

If only another time another place
We could escape this life and run away
If only another time

An angel's halo emerges from wispy clouds
Shades of blue blanket the night sky
Stillness
Wind softly rustles in the still night
A distant campfire crackles
Warm breeze rustling the hair from my face
Calmness
The sky and sea are one in the same
Distant stars glimmer afar
Enormous shadows guard the night
Breathtaking

Silhouettes of lovers as they dance throughout the night
Iridescent colors on a flower soon to die
Faceless images that lash out in the final scene
Horrified to realize this isn't a mere dream
Will you search with me for means of unity
In a world that doesn't care

Time is an eternity, a star filled galaxy
That leads nowhere
Life is like and endless road, a fateful tragedy
We seldom share

Picture perfect memories that are dusted off the shelf
A rose that wilts through endless nights seeks light to nurture health
Whispered voices echo from within a silent rage
Images that mirror all the changes to be made
Will you search with me for trust and honesty
In a world that doesn't care

Time is an eternity, a star filled galaxy
That leads nowhere
Life is like and endless road, a fateful tragedy
We seldom share

Kaleidoscopic tapestries
Reflecting posibilities
Sculpting out in magesty
A love that can endure

Time is an eternity, a star filled galaxy
That leads nowhere
Life is like and endless road, a fateful tragedy
We seldom share

So you’ve got troubles
That doesn’t make you unique
I know there are times
When you start to feel weak
You’ve got to face them
You can’t just wish them away
Talk to each other
Or it will fade away
Don’t leave each other guessing
Stop playing your games
Or you might find yourself feeling lonely
And you’ll be searching aimlessly

Stand Tall; Don’t you take a fall
Let the music rock your soul
When life gets you down bounce back for more
Stand Proud; say it out loud
No one and nothing can keep you down
Prove it to me the next time I see you around

Working together
You can accomplish great things
Sharing your secrets
Brings you security
Trust in each other
If you truly believe
You’ll find your path
To all of your dreams
Problems will always stand in your way
Stick together; fight them away
If you try to fight them yourself
You may find her walking with someone else

Stand Tall; Don’t you take a fall
Let the music rock your soul
When life gets you down bounce back for more
Stand Proud; say it out loud
No one and nothing can keep you down
Prove it to me the next time I see you around

If situations pull you apart
Stick together; keep her close to your heart
You better find a way to make a new start

Stand Tall; Don’t you take a fall
Let the music rock your soul
When life gets you down bounce back for more
Stand Proud; say it out loud
No one and nothing can keep you down
Prove it to me the next time I see you around

One spirit
One voice
In him rejoice

One light
One way
His love won’t stray

All you’ve got to do is surrender
Put all your plans aside
Let the masterful creator
Lead and be your guide

One dream
One hope
His strength to cope

One word
One phrase
To sing his praise

All you’ve got to do is surrender
There’s no better time than this
Made in the image of the one true God
Open up, don’t resist

One spirit
One voice
In him rejoice

One light
One way
His love won’t stray

Our ways are not the same as his
He’s not looking for perfection
Rest in the Father’s hands

One spirit
One song
In him we belong

One hope
We pray
For salvation one day

I gave you my heart
You gave me indifference
I gave you love without condition
You gave me ultimatums
I gave you reality
You gave me fantasy
I gave you fairness and understanding
You gave me barriers and jealousy
I  willingly gave to you myself in the most difficult time of my life
You demanded from me in the most difficult time or your life
I built your confidence
You tried to rob me of mine
I gave you predictability
You gave me impulsivity
I gave to you what I hadn't given anyone else
You gave everyone else what you couldn't give to me
I gave you tenderness, affection, and chance upon chance
You gave me labels, name calling, and disdain
I gave you open spaces
You backed me into a corner
I gave you honesty and trust
I listened to you and tried to understand your perspective even when I disagreed with you
You complained that all I did was argue while often putting me in a defensive position
I left the door open for possibility
You slammed the door in my face
I tried to hold on to you for dear life
You pushed me away and discarded me as one would of trash
I lost
You won
Congratulations

I’ve melted ice, I’ve frozen fire
I’ve seen the ways of love’s desire before
I’ve lit the candle, touched the flame
I know that things won’t be the same anymore

Life flashes by quickly before our weary eyes
And sometimes we have to say goodbye

We’ve walked together hand in hand
We’ve blown away just like the sand from the shore
We’ve lived our lives as night and day
And now there’s nothing left to say anymore

Time changes things quickly before we realize
Then sometimes we have to say goodbye

We’ve struggled through the years as time has passed away
And in this time of grief there are no words left to say

Time changes things quickly before we realize
Then sometimes we have to say Goodbye

Goodbye

I will long for the sound of your voice
Until We Meet again

I will crave the beauty of your face
Until We Meet again

I will forge ahead in strength
Until We Meet again

I will be lost without your morning message
Until We meet again

I will dream of you day and night
Until We meet again

My heart will beat for you
Until We Meet again

My love will grow for you
Until We Meet again

You will live inside my heart
Until We Meet again

I will ponder the wonder of us
Until we meet again

I will feel an emptiness inside
Until We meet again

Ten days will feel like an eternity
Until we meet again

I will know you are somewhere under the same moon
Until we meet again

I will hold you in my memory
Until We meet again

I will cherish you in my heart
Until we meet again

My love for you will remain
Until We meet again

I remember loving you on a sunny day
Roses and Kisses
You said I’d never get away
But somehow things began to slip away
Will you still listen?
To one more thing I want to say

I just want to see you one more time
Feel the warmth of your hand in mine
Taste your ruby lips of wine
Will you stand here by my side?
Pledge you’ll never say goodbye
Love me ‘till the end of time
My metaphor love

I remember long walks in the night
Holding you closely
Kissing you under the moonlight
Everything back then was so special to me
Life was so simple
Take me back to yesterday

I just want to see you one more time
Feel the warmth of your hand in mine
Taste your ruby lips of wine
Will you stand here by my side?
Pledge you’ll never say goodbye
Love me ‘till the end of time
My metaphor love

Somebody Like You
Somebody Like You

I've been looking long and far to find her
No one I meet can compare to you
Still, I keep on searching for her
Always feeling sad & blue
Until I find someone like you

I know she must be soft and tender
She must be sincere and honest to
She must be my best friend
She must be my lover
She must be an awful lot like you

Somebody like you (I'm looking for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through
Somebody like you (keep searching for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through

When I find her I will make her happy
Leave her side is something I won't do
I'll be a vision in her dreams
I'm going to treat her like a queen
Only if she's someone just like you

Somebody like you (I'm looking for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through
Somebody like you (keep searching for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through

(Someone, I'm searching) Somebody like you
(Someone, I'm looking) I'm looking
Someone, where are you) For someone like you
(Someone, to hold me) To hold my hand
(Someone, to show me) In times of trouble
(Someone, I will find you) Just like you do

Somebody like you (I'm looking for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through
Somebody like you (keep searching for)
Somebody like you to hold me until the night is through

Here we are
One and done
A love gone astray

Feeling used
A bit confused
As trash just thrown away

Perhaps one day
You'll realize
The value of what you had

A loving friend
A romantic end
Something not so bad

Life will go by
The tears will dry
A love pulled apart

Put up your walls
Watch us fall
You'll always have my heart

Here we are
One and done
As once again you leave

Feeling used
A bit confused
What exactly did this achieve?

What Happened to all the love
That you used to show
Where did it go?
A child with no home
I'm all alone, out on my own

Same old story, same old lines
Hurting each other all the time

How did this all change?
We once were so close
You loved me the most
Like the day and night
It strikes me so strange
How we can change

Same old story, same old lines
Hurting each other all the time

I don't want to fight anymore
I don't want to blame
I just need my baby back
Let's try to stop all these games

What happened to us?
We once had it all
And now there's this wall
Nothing lasts forever
Time took its toll
Both of us know

Same old story, same old lines
Hurting each other all the time

Denim, a durable fabric
Fading over the years
Eventually distressed, frayed
Like warm summer memories of years gone by
Not created to appear that way
But forged over the years
Like an old friend that has lost some luster
But is classically appealing still

True love should be like faded denim
A love of your life should gradually dim and become a classic memory rather than dissipate within months
A shared deep connection should tatter over years like the knees of a comfortable pair of denim jeans
There shouldn't need to be a reason to communicate when you have loved someone deeply
If a reason to communicate is needed months later, perhaps the love wasn't that intense as the care to just connect without a reason would still exist
Just as the color of denim will fade in intensity in time, so should the deep feelings one has. If a loved one vocalized that they would have turned their life upside down for you, it would take years rather than months to be at peace with not speaking frequently

A troubadour seeking Abby Road

Strolling with his dog Marshall

Scarlet Shoes, ruby holster

Bus pauses, traffic stops

Stories and secrets housed within six strings

The calm before the storm

Solitude before the chaos

The writing on the wall

Flashbacks of decades gone flutter past Zebra Crossing

Seeking the home of the loud

Touching lives of strangers in ways unknown

A pocketful or crumpled ****

It’s the destination not the journey

Sideway glance….all eyes on me

My swagger makes them stagger like a pub crawl

Bought my confidence in a second hand shop

But I’m trying not to fall in these shoes

Watchful eyes stare at him from the top of the bus

Long ago on a cold December night
A child was born into this world to bring us light
They traveled miles and miles to see this little one
He gave the world the gift of love

Now the time has come for giving all our love
When times are hard believe in angels up above
Hold on to ones we love who will help us see the way
To find another day for us

Not so long ago o. A cold September morn
We watched in disbelief to see a nation torn
In that hour of darkness our strength had brought us light
We took a wrong and made it right

Now the time has come to give the world some peace
When times are hard out patience cannot cease
Hold on to ones we love who will help us see the way
To find another day for us

Now the time has come for giving all our hearts
When times are hard we can make a brand new start
Hold on to ones we love who will help us see the way
They'll help us see the way and find another day
For you
For me
For us

Waking up at 3 am
Looking at my phone
Searching for a Telegram
To know I’m not alone
Thinking of the time we had
Watching the sunrise
Haunted by last visions of
The tears in your eyes

Where are you now
Where can you be
Is the picture clearer now
Without me
Forever more
We’ll never see
In the abyss of memories
Is where we’ll be

Moving on was hard to do
A part of me is gone
Pictured moments of our time
Living through our songs
Wishing you a happy life
Though we are apart
Our lives forever changed
We held each other’s hearts

Where are you now
Where can you be
Is the picture clearer now
Without me
Forever more
We’ll never see
In the abyss of memories
Is where we’ll be



Tears that we cry
Go unconsoled
A treasured tale
That never will be told

Where are you now
Where can you be
Is the picture clearer now
Without me
Forever more
We’ll never see
In the abyss of memories
Is where we’ll be

I want you to take me
Far away from here
I want you to break my soul
Release me from all my fears
Live inside of my mind
Protect me from the dark light

I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Time is running out for me to be by your side
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Faith is just a mirror seen through somebody's eyes

Could you ever forgive me
For all the time I've lacked?
To find the good that breathes in me
Before the final act
Shelter me from all harm
Let me die in your arms


I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Time is running out for me to be by your side
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Faith is just a mirror seen through somebody's eyes

Shake me, wake me
before the final hour
Teach me, guide me
Let me feel your power


I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Time is running out for you to be by my side
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
Faith is just a mirror seen through somebody's eyes

Mahogany eyes
Express joy, desire, and grief
Those which I behold

Times are changing now
We’re starting over again
Things are looking brighter now
The Sun’s shining over our heads
It’s time to show them what we’ve got
And let go of all our fears
But we must never forget the past
That has brought us here
I’ve got this feeling that all hard times are gone
We’re gonna make it this time; well I know; yes I know

We’re at the turning point of our lives
We’re at the turning point of our lives
(This is going to change our lives)
It feels so good

We feel a freedom now
Everything is so brand new
We’re gonna go straight to the top
There’s nothing we can’t do
So come along with us
We’re gonna take you around the world
We’re going all the way this time
We’re feeling proud and sure
The road’s been rough, and the time has gone so slow
We’re gonna make it this time; well I know; yes I know


We’re at the turning point of our lives
We’re at the turning point of our lives
(This is going to change our lives)
It feels so good

I see your big brown eyes
Your long dark hair
Then I want you so badly
I'd like to be with you
I'll take you anywhere
How I want to be with you tonight

I want to love you
Wrap my arms around you
Wake up to see your eyes
In the morning light
To be with you tonight

I touch your soft tan skin
As I hold you close
Girl you drive me so crazy
Let's dance across the stars
We'll sail along the coast
how I want to be with you tonight

I want to love you
Wrap my arms around you
Wake up to see your eyes
In the morning light
To be with you tonight

We can be so close
This can be so right
I need you now
I want to love you tonight

I want to love you
Wrap my arms around you
Wake up to see your eyes
In the morning light
To be with you tonight

When life's a struggle
And everyday you're paying your dues
When life's a struggle baby
And you feel you're born to lose
You've got a bad case of
Hard Knock/Low Down Blues

When your lover leaves you
And you haven't got a clue
When your lover leaves you
And you're the last to hear the news (You're always the last)
You've just been bitten by
Hard Knock/Low Down Blues

When your whole world changes
And you don't get a chance to chose
When your whole world changes
And you wish you were in someone else's shoes(Got it better than
You've been a victim of
Hard Knock/Low Down Blues

When you reach and old age
And you can't do the things you used to do
When you reach and old age
And your life is just no use (You try to win but you always lose)
You've just been beaten by
Hard Knock/Low Down Blues

Night falls as the sky fades blue
I wait in the night
Time calls me to think of you
I stray from the light

I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

Night falls as the tides arise
I sail on my own
Storms crash as to hide my cries
I feel so alone

I'll wait for you
I'll wait

I'll wait for you
To see your dreams come true

I'll wait for you
I'll wait
Night falls

Are you lonesome baby tonight?
would you like to see me
And hold me tight
Open your arms to me
Let's share the night

Hair of gold
Ocean's eyes
Skin like silk
Lips of wine
Meet mine

Kiss the in the moonlight
We'll dance under stars
Suspended in time
We'll watch the fireworks
Light up the sky

Hair of gold
Ocean's eyes
Skin like silk
Lips of wine
Kiss me tonight

If this is a dream
Don't wake me
Just let me sleep

Hair of gold
Ocean's eyes
Skin like silk
Lips of wine
Kiss me tonight

I can see the times are changing
I can see it in your eyes
It's going to be a bumpy ride
I can feel the world is turning
I can feel it through our styles

Together we can fly
Side by side

I can see the clouds are breaking
I can see it in your smile
We're going to go that mile
I can feel the sun is shining
I can feel it in our lives

Together we can fly
Side by side

A mountain can stand alone
But a heart isn't made of stone
Come with me we'll try

Together we can fly
Side by side

Together we can fly
Side by side

Baby call the preacher, I think I'm gonna break
I got so much that I need to tell
You walked me through the Garden of Eden
And you dragged me straight down to Hell
Played me like your Daddy's card deck
Then you left me with an empty hand
Always saying you'll be mine forever
But here I stand alone again

Broken promises the lies we say
Took all my money and you left me here to pay
Broken promises the games we play
This could be the start  of a new day

Take me to the doctor,  I think I'm falling apart
Got an aching heart and splitting head
Bought you a new teddy for Christmas
Now I wake up with myself in bed
Believing all those stories you told me
About a big whit house and picket fence
Seeing is believing, talking is deceiving
Now this starts to make some sense

Broken promises the lies we say
Took all my money and you left me here to pay
Broken promises the games we play
This could be the start  of a new age

You said you needed to find yourself
I never knew you were lost
Now you tell me I'm not enough
Well, Baby kiss off

Broken promises the lies we say
Took all my money and you left me here to pay
Broken promises the American way
This could be the start  of a new age

When I look at your photograph I wish to God that you were back
Just you and I as one together
All our memories rush through my mind
I’m wishing and hoping every night
That you'll come back to me forever
Can’t you tell I still love you? That isn’t hard to see
Can’t you tell I still want you? And this is where you should be

In My arms tonight(In my arms tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms  tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight (Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight

I feel so frightened and all alone
Always wishing to hear your voice on the phone
Just to tell me that you really care
I want to reach out and take your hand
And guide you to our promised land but I know that’s just my prayer
Can’t you tell I still need you? Is that so hard to see?
Don’t you know that I’m hurting? My God, it’s killing me

In My arms  tonight(In my arms  tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight (Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight

I can’t sleep at night (Those memories)
I’m crying out my plea (Please hear me)
It cuts like a knife (So deep now)
Come back to me; Yeah

In My arms  tonight(In my arms tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms  tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight(Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight

Young Catholic boy
Traditions and routines embedded
Prayers remembered, recited, and regurgitated
Going through the motions until old enough
To walk away
Strict rules learned growing up
Making it difficult to return
Without being a hypocrite
Questions arising with no logical answers
Not all was bad
There was comfort in routine
Music that was beautiful at times
Giant traditional cathedrals
Shrouded in history and mystery
Sunday family breakfasts
Midnight Christmas Eve mass
Saturated in songs of Noel
Somehow made those lyrics relevant
As my life enters the fall season
I contemplate faith
I see others that breathe it
Is it too late to find and rediscover?
Can skepticism ebb?
Could I give myself over without abandon?
Where does one begin?

Did you really want to work things out?
Did you need me?
Why did you change, what was it all about?
Did I make a difference in your life?
Did I do something that wasn’t right (That wasn’t right)

Questions of love
Like a fire within my heart
Questions of love
Keeping me from a brand new start

When you left me,
Were those tears I saw falling from your eyes?
You found it hard to talk
Were your feeling too strong to hide?
Wasn’t there a way to compromise?
Did you start believing someone’s lies (Someone’s lies)

Questions of love
Burning hot inside my mind
Questions of love
Keeping me a step behind

Are you happy?
Is there someone taking good care of you
Do you feel good
From the changes within you?
Are you frightened of the things you see?
Will you ever want to talk to me? (Talk to me please)

Questions of love
Like a flame within my soul
Questions of love
Getting over you is my goal

Questions of love
Like a candle in the night
Questions of love
Keeps the fire burning bright

My loving tri colored beagle
Of the last seventeen years
My rambunctious little darling
Who has lapped up all my tears

You've been a great companion
An enormous part of my life
You've seen me through triumphs
You've been there through strife

My mischievous sweetheart
Who un"squeaked" every toy
My little treat monger
That's brought me such joy

Your brown fur now gray
Your pace now so slow
A gift so precious
A love you bestow

You have touched my heart
Like it's been your mission
Faithful love
Without condition

I fear the day you'll not be here
I'll certainly fall apart
But I promise to always hold you
Deep inside my heart

I've been counting the days now it seems forever
Until you're out of my life for once and for all
Not a day goes by that I want you back here
I'm not feeling sad, Baby I'm standing tall

I'm into happiness baby
As long as I'm free from you
I want a loving relation
As long as it's not with you  

I spent two years of my life with you in limbo
Watching the whole world just pass me by
Now it's time to live my life like I want to
Just the thought of the freedom gets me high


I'm into happiness baby
As long as I'm free from you
I want a loving relation
As long as it's not with you

Freedom's calling baby, Take me away


I'm into happiness baby
As long as I'm free from you
I want a loving relation
As long as it's not with you

Strutting down the street with your high heels on
Your hair sparking in city lights
Wearing those blue jeans that were painted on
Looking for some action tonight
Will you be with me tonight
We'll make love till the morning light

Rock me baby, drive me crazy
Treat me right, Love me tonight
Come on squeeze me, tease me, please me
Rock me baby , Love me tonight

Dancing next to me with your lips on mine
Feel the sweat bead on my brow
Red fingernails running down my spine
We should be leaving now
Will you go with me for a ride
Come on & love me I can't be denied

Rock me baby, drive me crazy
Treat me right, Love me tonight
Come on squeeze me, tease me, please me
Rock me baby , Love me tonight

We can live out our fantasies
We can share a night of ecstacy
Come on and rock me

Rock me baby, drive me crazy
Treat me right, Love me tonight
Come on squeeze me, tease me, please me
Rock me baby , Love me tonight

Our love was just an illusion
My heart is in such confusion
You filled my head with all of your lies
I wonder how you sleep at night
With your illusions

I gave you my love
I thought I had yours too
Like a mirage in the desert
I was such a fool
I trusted your word
But how blind could I be
Like a clown in the circus
The joke was on me
Into your trap I fell
'Cause you didn't know yourself

Our love was just an illusion
My heart is in such confusion
You filled my head with all of your lies
I wonder how you sleep at night
With your illusions

We started a life
We stated a vow
If I only knew then
What I know now
Two broken hearts
A true love cold heal
Like an illusion
It just wasn't real
Into your trap I fell
'Cause you didn't know yourself

Our love was just an illusion
My heart is in such confusion
You filled my head with all of your lies
I wonder how you sleep at night
With your illusions

You say we were too young
To know what's wrong or right
That's not a valid excuse
To mess up my life

Our love was just an illusion
My heart is in such confusion
You filled my head with all of your lies
I wonder how you sleep at night
With your illusions

I’ve done everything for you
You swore your love was true
How could I be so quick to believe
All you’ve ever done was deceive
I don’t like what I’m starting to see
The crummy way you’ve been treating me
Try to hold you close to me
But you tell me to set you free

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you

You came to me as a helpless scared young girl
I took you in and I showed you around my world
I thought we made such a perfect pair
Now you tell me you just don’t care
I see you’ve got everything you need
Your eyes are filled with fire
They’re filled with greed
One day you’re gonna see
Your big mistake was leaving me

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you

Now you say we’re through
Nothing more I can do
After all I’ve done for you

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you
After all I’ve done for you

There was a time in my life
When I started to lose my will to try
From the darkness in which I fell
I tried to run and hide from myself
Then you came to me like a sparkling melody
Bearing me your soul to be one with me

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you

I was alone within a crowd
I did some things that didn't make me proud
My heart was numb, my thoughts were cold
I didn't think I needed someone to hold
Then you filled my life with a precious harmony
Giving me your love to be one with me

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you

Then you made with me a song of love to sing
To rejoice in all the happiness you bring

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you endlessly

Talk to me; baby look in my eyes
You can tell me what you’re feeling inside
I think I understand what you’re going through
I’ve gone through it before
I can help you get through it
I can relate, if you’d let me
Baby let me prove it to you now

If you’d just give me a chance
I can be a good friend
Give me a chance
We’ll see it through to the end

Come closer; baby take my hand
Let me show you I’m a kind a patient man
If you need someone to talk to
Call on me I’ll listen to you
Put a little faith in me
You might find that you can trust me
Baby let me show you that I care

Give me a chance
I can be a great friend
Give me a chance
We can take this through to the end
Give me a chance; Oh
Give me a chance; Yeah

If you start feeling lonely baby
Call and I’ll be there
Don’t rule out your emotions
Take a chance to care

Walk with me; to a galaxy
Let me show you
Things you thought you’d never see
If you need a little comfort
Come to me I’ll give it to you
Tenderness and honesty is what you need
I’ll show it to you
Baby let me hold you in my arms

Give me a chance
I can be a good friend
Give me a chance
There’s no more need to pretend
Give me a chance; Oh
Give me a chance; Yeah

I've waited long for the sunshine
Seems like I'm caught here in the rain
I've searched your eyes for signs of laughter
While all I cried were tears of pain

Then you were gone
I've been so lonely so long
And you were gone
Just like the wind

I watch the time passing by me
Like a child who fears the strorm
I'm freezing in the dead of winter
I need your love to keep me warm

But you're gone
I've been so lonely so lon
And you were gone
Just like the wind

Searching for the dreams that I treasure
One's intentions are too hard to measure
Since you've been gone from me

I've waited for you love to return
So our lives could rearrange
With all the pain left behind us
It's just too hard to make that change

And now I'm gone
You'll be so lonely so long
And now I'm gone
Just like the wind

I once met a little miss
We traveled hours for a kiss
I was so excited
I couldn't quite hide it
It was truly a moment of bliss

We met in the summer for a date
I was planning on making her wait
My hand on her hips
How soft were her lips
Romantic.... there was no debate

Our kiss so very divine
Suspended in a moment of time
Emotions so bare
Couldn't come up for air
To not kiss would have been a crime

This kiss shook me to the core
Like it was from romantic lore
Holding her so tight
It just felt so right
If only I could kiss her once more

It's not the slang for money
It's not levels of separation for Kevin
While it may sound funny
It a slice of heaven

It sizzles like no other
The flavor smokey and big
And if I had my druthers
I would just become a pig

Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
An existence of pain and discomfort
Short, temporary flashes
Of a former existence
That can be seen in the eyes
In a smile
Or in a few lucid words
That harks back to another time
Trapped in a vessel
Unable to make decisions for yourself
Those decisions falling on ones close to you
Which are monumental
Hoping the right decisions are made
That you would choose for yourself if possible
Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
Not a place I ever wanted to be

I hope the world is treating you good
Happiness will be with you
I hope and pray it should
I wonder girl, do you every think of me
Your life must be so different than what it used to be
I can't believe two years have gone by
When I think about you tears still form within my eyes
Many times I've longed to talk, many things I've longed to share
I wasn't sure you'd listen, so I must make you aware

If ever you need me, call me and I'll be there
If ever you want me I'll go anytime, anyway, anywhere
If ever you should love me again or just be my friend
I want you to know this now, I'm yours until the end

Before you were my lover we were the best of friends
I try so hard to see why our friendship had to end
I've tried so many times to make a brand new start
There are just too many worries weighing heavy on my heart
I'm doing all I can to simply get along
Do you still get your memories anytime you hear our songs
Even though we were involved a long time ago
My feelings are still strong for you and I want you to know

If ever you need me, call me and I'll be there
If ever you want me I'll go anytime, anyway, anywhere
If ever you should love me again or just be my friend
I want you to know this now, I'm yours until the end

I know the picture is in another frame
I realize that things can never be the same
Call on me if you need a friend that's true
I'll always care for you , I love you

If ever you need me, call me and I'll be there
If ever you want me I'll go anytime, anyway, anywhere
If ever you should love me again or just be my friend
I want you to know this now, I'm yours until the end

Why did we end up this way now
With nothing left to say love
I should just leave you alone now
And go my separate way
Why aint it easy to leave you
When it's so hard to believe you
Please find the way to convince me that
I shouldn't go away

Don't fade away
Don't fade away now
Please make me stay love

I treated you like a queen love
You were so thoughtless and mean though
I'm always there for you love
Lately you're not for me
I'd never lie or mislead you
Just wish I didn't need you
Now I'm around your finger
Don't use or throw me away

Don't fade away
Don't fade away now
You got to make me stay love

You end up trying to abuse me
You're going to cry when you lose me
I really want you to stay love
Don't let us fade away

I song my songs to no one
While not completely true
The public hears me sing my songs
Unaware I sing for you

As I sing about the Queen and love
Now I risk the fear
Of getting through the lyrics
While holding back a tear

The songs I wrote have meaning
No one can really see
A metaphoric yet real ocean
Unable to keep you away from me

While nature's cruel barrier
Wasn't able to keep us apart
A different way of moving forward
Is what shredded up my heart

We've expressed our love through lyrics
A passion we've both shared
Now I  stop myself from sending songs
To show how much I care

You became for me my muse
Gave me creative spark
Providing passion all around
A contrast that was stark

While sharing lots of laughter
As well as many tears
A monumental experience
That's spanned throughout the years

What I thought an unending connection
We watched our children grow
We came to know what was unknown
With so little left to show

I sing my songs for no one
While my heart will have to mend
I'll continue on to sing my songs
While learning to pretend

Conflicts of illusion
A puzzle torn apart
I didn't mean to break your little heart
Seeds of indecision
Won't always foster change
Life can be so strange
And we must rearrange

Time to start a new life
Time to break away
All the love we shared has gone away

Truth is distant sorrow
Loss is imminent gain
I didn't mean to cause your life such pain
Time is an obsession
Life an unreal play
A message to convey
But no words left to say

Time to start a new life
Time to break away
All the love we shared has gone

Passion like a river flowing
It's wild and free
When there's no passion left inside
It's time to leave

Time to start a new life
Time to break away

A cold night falls in December
And I find myself alone; alone again
With these walls around me
You're not there beside me no more
We walked those roads together
Now I'm by myself

I need you now
I can't pretend
I need you now
Much more than then
I need you even now

Can't you see that I need you
'Cause I still love you
More than anyone else
I try hard to show you
I try to tell you and more, and so much more
How could you desert me
Just pick up and leave me this way
What can I say; What can I do?
Give me a chance and let me make it up to you

I need you now
I can't pretend
I need you now
Much more than then
I need you even now

Even now the picture is getting clearer
No more confusion in the air
My world is brighter 'cause your here

I need you now
I can't pretend
I need you now
Much more than then
I need you even now

For so long you've been searching
For someone to treat you right
You've been getting cheated out of life
Now my arms are around you
I'll protect you from your fright
I'll keep you safe beside me
I am your light

You've got me
With me you'll be free

You were used and abused
Every couple of nights
I wish I could have helped you through those times
But now I'll always be with you
To hold you when you need to cry
I'll make you strong and I'll stand right by your side

You've got me
I'll make you happy

I'm the one you can count on
I know you'll always love me
You can always put your trust in me

We'll start a new life together
Throw away all our mistakes
We'll give it all the energy it takes
We'll make our lives like a novel
Turn it to the back page
We'll be holding hands in our old age

You've got me
I'll love you endlessly

You've got me
I'll love you endlessly

Girl you come to see me when I'm rocking your town
You'd do anything to keep hanging around
Oh baby, you can't see what I know
Oh darling you just want to be part of my show

Every time I see you girl you're looking fine
You'd do anything just to say you were mine
Oh darling, keep me in your dreams
In the real world everything isn't always as it seems

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love

Loving isn't easy unless it comes from the start
I don't want to have to leave you with a broken heart
Oh baby, it must be this way
Before you get me started you must know that I cannot stay

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love
