Just to look into your eyes
Heaven it would it be
To feel your breath upon my cheek
Would mean the world to me

To sit with you and stroke your hand
Entwine my fingers 'round yours too
I could think of nothing else
I would rather do

Gentle kisses from your lips to mine
I dream of and I need
This desire inside I can't confine
To your love I must concede

Deep waters run
They flow through my soul
Renewing my spirit
With their ebb and flow

Deep waters inspire me
To see what I say
To keep it and share it
With all that I may

My heart is opened
By this cleansing flood
And released by my spirit
It runs in my blood

No words left to express
None that have ever been written
Feelings inside are beyond any definition
My heart  is completely smitten

Onslaught of emotions welling
The soul can barely survive this flood
Unveiling brings such tears of joy
From a heart in love

If never to smile again
Never to hold again, as this time
This heart holds enough joy
To last a lifetime

Last night we danced upon the moon
Cheek to cheek we two
No gravity to hold us down
Through the air we flew

All the stars they did surround us
All the planets within our view
Down below us our beloved Earth
Looking back at us two

Our bodies light as feathers
Spirits lighter still
I felt closer to you than ever
So much love I did feel

Yesterday you were but a dream I had
Tomorrow you came true
Today I have to find a way
Tomorrow to undo

Such a love I knew we would be
What a great love we were
Today I have to find a way to change it all
And make tomorrow not occur

If I could go back into my yesterday
And not find my way to you
Then tomorrow would not be at all
And I would not love you

The birdcage is empty
It appears the bird has flown
Whoever would have thought it
Whoever could have known

Did we not clip its wings
When we brought it home
Right before we placed it in its cage
Could its wings have grown

Our bird it would sing for us
Such a lovely song
One we thought we'd hear forever
Never to be gone

Now we look into the sky
And listen with our ears
Just to catch a glimpse or song
But our bird's been gone for years

I hear you laugh at almost everything
I believe I've rarely ever seen you mad
You are such a joy to be around
Because you are hardly ever sad

I watch your face and look into your eyes
And I see sadness there
A look of vast experience
From a life that's not been fair

Sometimes, I see you talk to yourself
Very quiet, very low
And I wonder what is on your mind
What are you trying not to show

I realize that constant laugh
And the smile there on your face
Is not reflected in those eyes of yours
And it seems so out of place

What lies underneath that mask of happiness
That I always see you wear
And how deep do the secrets, and the pain therein lie
That you alone do bear

Don't keep running after yesterday
Searching for it's why
Seeking all the answers there
And why it made you cry

Does it really matter how it came about
Only if it over must be done
And what would be the changes
At the setting of the sun

Your regrets may be too many
Your smiles may be too few
Just put yesterday behind you
Today, it is for you

What is this perfection that you require
For your unconditional love
This you say you have for me
And put nothing above

The last time that I inquired
And established the meaning of it true
Perfection should not be a requirement
To receive this love from you

If you love me as you say
In this unconditional way
Why do you withhold yourself from me
Every single day

I ask this of you now
Please help me to understand
If unconditional love has no conditions
Why do you withhold your hand?

When I talk to you late at night
When we both should be fast asleep
These are the sweetest conversations
I have ever known

This is when I feel the closest to you
And I can feel your love
More than any other time

It doesn't matter what we talk about
Or how many times we change the subject
And go right back again
We just flow.

It seems you almost read my mind
And I feel sometimes I almost read yours too
When we say the same things at the same time
I realize how much I am in tune with you

Even though I may be so tired the next day
That I can hardly stay awake
I wouldn't give up this time we spend together
For anything in the world.

I just wanted you to know how special
This time spent with you is to me
And I can only hope that it means
As much to you

Spinning round and round my heart
You have always been
Never leaving, never ending
Come full round again

Perhaps once more is the charm
Let this time be the last
Circle round and get it right
Forget about the past

What went wrong in our yesterday
May be what we never see
But hearts keep circling round and round
And true love never leaves

I laugh into the face of doubt and questioning
As they dare to knock upon my door
As I know all the reasons
They have come here for

Thinking to put what I do in reserve
Doubt thinks I'll give an inch
Dust your shoes off and take a walk
Doubt you've been benched

Questioning I have no use for you
Here in this heart of mine
This that I believe in can't be touched
No power here you'll find

Both of you get back on your path
One that leads elsewhere
I have no need for either of you
You're not welcome here

Stop walking on fences and choose a side
Know where it is that you tread
The times are a changing at full force
There is no time to play dead

Now's not the time to hold anything in
Nor to hold anything back
Best to know in what you believe
Before you come under attack

Best come down from those fences
And walk wherever you choose
With no voice of your own
You will surely lose

First your up and then your down
Emotions spinning high
Right on top of your game
Then it seems to pass you by

The world it is your oyster
A pearl inside it is your own
Someone shuts the floodgates down
And you can't find your home

No sense anything seems to make
That made sense yesterday
The prize you held above your head
Someone has taken it away

Don't give up and don't give in
The pearl is still your own
Hold on tight and ride this out
And know you're not alone

All of this is fantasy
Held captive in our minds
Our own reality
That we seek to find

What lovely imagination
In this tangled web we weave
A magical illusion
Is all that we receive

Perfection in all we see here
We know cannot be true
A perfect world does not exist
And will not ensue

Awake arise and realize
Reality does set in
Time will change and tarnish
This fantasy will end

Sometimes I get so tired of everything
And happiness I just can't find
Direction is so lacking
I think I'll lose my mind

I can't decide which way is up
Or which way to go
I get so agitated
Why I just don't know

I could just chalk it off to my ***
And lay the blame aside
But I think to look at myself
And take a look inside

Perhaps the way I look at things
Could the problem be
And this I need to change
To be a different me

I have been searching for you all my life
This heart of mine has been broken many times
The ones I found have not been true
As their hearts were not mine

So come now and gently take my hand
Place it upon your face
Let me look into your eyes
As your lips I trace

Tell me now you've searched for me too
And that you know I am the one
Especially made for you
When the world was young

Such a peaceful place I have found
Where I come to be alone
And hide myself away
From everything I've known

Here is such a peaceful state
Nothing to think about
I can disappear inside myself
And float upon the clouds

All I wish to hear around me here
Is just the air I breathe
Rushing through my body
As I return to me

I love the way you make me laugh
the way you make me smile.
I can feel you here with me
all across these miles.

Your voice makes my heart skip a beat.
I love the things you say.
Your mind is in sync with mine
even when we play.

It is so very hard to find someone
who just gets me like you do;
makes me feel appreciated
no matter what I say or do.

Distance is of no matter
When two hearts beat as one
I feel yours as it beats with mine
This story has just begun

Why am I wearing my heart on my sleeve
And all these stars in my eyes
That which put this smile on my face
Is something I can't deny

Why am I humming this tune under my breath
Yet loud enough for all to hear
Perhaps for the same reason that I have this smile
Stretching from ear to ear

I have a secret that everyone knows
Yet some will deny is true
I am loved by the One who loves all
I am loved by You

If tomorrow never comes to us
and yesterday never did;
would today still be ours to have
hold and to live?

If we could look back in time
but our past we couldn't see;
would our days not exist as now
would we still be?

If the sun did not set today
but it rose again tomorrow,
could we forget about yesterday
and all of its sorrow?

Can this heart of mine ever be the same
As before it learned the truth
Can it continue now as it is
Alone without you

Now my heart cries out its need for you
Unknown may have been better
Nothing lost, nothing gained
No tear-stained letters

Thought it would be easy to walk away
And smile at memories made
No regrets at all and no tears
If any would fade away

I love you more now than I did before
I can only speak the truth
This heart of mine is breaking right in two
As it belongs to you

Come and take my hand in yours
take a walk with me.
Let's look up at the stars above
listen to the breeze.

No sound to hear but each step we make
while gazing at the moon.
Just the sound of each breath we take
listening to a nightingale's sweet croon.

Let's stop and stand here in this silence
for just a little while.
Pretend we have forever
to walk for miles and miles.

What a jewel you have become
In this crown of mine
How very proud I am of who you are
As your own way you find

It seems it was just yesterday
You tried to walk before you crawled
While I was busy trying to run
Before I learned to walk

Somehow in the midst of all of this
You grew up and I grew old
And now I see you placing jewels
In your own crown of gold

Your paths not been an easy one
It has been an uphill climb
Yet you've grown tall and straight and true
And I'm so proud to call you mine

Is it possible to be so mistaken
About what seems so right
To be so blinded by what I feel
I don't even try to fight

Am I willing to put aside
All I profess to believe
To reach out for what I want
What is true not see

How much am I willing to sacrifice
To follow my hearts desire
In order to have what I want
Will I feed my soul to the fire

If I am mistaken about what seems right
And this is the sacrifice I must make
This I have inside of me
From my heart, Dear Lord
Please take

When you've drawn a line in the sand
As a point of no return
Do not ever cross this line
Unless you think you'll like the burn

There's obsession deep in this dance
Moving back and forth
Taking blows from every side
From an unseen force

The mind cries out to get a grip
But the heart is in command
Losing ground with every step
As it makes demands

What you will and what you won't
They are not the same
As what you do and what you don't
When it calls your name

You back it up and take it down
Find you're in a bind
As you go forth and give it all
When your heart can't find its mind

What is here now has come as this
And it will be for now
Go to the place it used to be
And look to see just how

It is the only thing that needs to be
In a question that you ask
The answer it lies in front of you
You need not look back

Stand back from the fire you started
Watch it burn and glow
If it turns into naught but ashes
This is how you know

Acceptance is so hard sometimes
But it's all that you can do
When even you don't know what you want
And why you do the things you do

You are holding on to a dream so tight
So afraid you will awake
So you shut your eyes and stay asleep
And one more step you take

When one loves without demands
Never questioning even why
Blindly following with all their heart
And trusting with unseeing eyes

What joy can be found in all of this
So very much if one does wish
To patiently see what the future holds
For a love as strong as this

There are secret places in my heart
I hold just for you
Hid away from everyone
Even hid from you

I want to share these with you
Show you everything I feel
But my fear stops me in my tracks
And I hide them still

I wish that I wouldn't hold back
And trust as I want too
But fear it slips in every time
And I run away from you

With all my heart I hope someday
That my fears I'll put aside
And share all these places I hide from you
That hold all this love inside

All the memories are unfolding
As I turn each page
Written words of love for you
Forever to be saved

My heart is here and can be read
For all the world to see
Everything I feel for you
Written down by me

A love story of such beauty
Penned by my heart
Always here to be read
Never to depart

Such an ethereal vision we have here
In this we call our own
As if untouched by human hands
Like nothing ever known

If perfection existed in this time
This we have would be
In this special world of ours
Shared by you and me

Whatever reason would we have
To mar the face of it
To please the world and change it all
So that in this world we fit

I am ever reaching for your light
To hold within my heart
Knowing it is all I'll ever need
To begin each day I start

You are my anchor in a storm
That which grounds me everyday
You guide me ever safely home
Whatever comes my way

Your light it never leaves my sight
I never leave from yours
With loving eyes you watch each step I take
As I go through life's doors

What is this fixation that you have
This you came here for
Don't you know that what you seek
Is what was yours before

You have looked and you have longed
Mistaken all these years
Never knowing what was wrong
Crying many tears

What you miss and what you have
They are not the same
What you find here it is yours
Hear it call your name

It sings out softly to your heart
No end in sight it seems
Answer now or you will always
Hear it in your dreams

It often makes me angry
When life doesn't turn out like I think it should
And I feel so much resentment
This doesn't do me any good

It pains me when I don't get to do the things
That I wanted to
Because something else was put in my path
That I was led to do

It is hard to just move on and get over it
And know that this too will end
Not let it turn into so much bitterness
And all my emotions offend

It would be so easy to just be angry at the world
I could probably justify it in many ways
But I see that holding anger in my heart
Will only take all the love and light
In this life of mine away

Between two worlds unknown
I walk without fear
Ever searching for what's true
The wisdom of the years

The steps I take are true and steady
My heart is proud and strong
As I come and go between the two
Fighting every wrong

Seeking justice is my purpose
Yet revenge is not my own
The reaping will be had
By the seeds that you have sown

If you are living by the sword
You'll be dying by the same
You best be sowing something different
Or you'll lose at your own game

I have climbed to the top of the world
I am looking down
At all the beauty God created
There upon the ground

Up above me are the softest clouds
I have ever seen
They drift by like angel wings
My soul begins to sing

It has been so long since I have noticed
All the beauty in this place
When all this time it's been here in all its glory
Like the nose upon my face

I think I will stay awhile
Just enjoy the view
Thank God that I can see this
Pray you can see it too

Not sure of who I was or who I wanted to be
I have wandered here and there
Searching for the inner me
And to others myself I compared

Running from myself for so many years
I got entangled in *******
And wrapped in my fears
And hid the inner me inside myself

Such a strong desire to be different
Is a battle I fought everyday
I have found that I cannot to myself be true
If I continue hiding the inner me
While trying to be just like you

Eradicate these feelings
Running deep inside of me
Please take them from my heart
As they won't let me be

Return to what was here at first
The way it was before
As what this has become
I cannot ignore

If nothing can be changed
And this is how it is
Then show me what to do
Show me how to live

Please strengthen my resolve
Tear my fears apart
Take all this weakness that I feel
And remove it from my heart

Your heart it is broken, so broken in two
The hurt that you feel is immense
But guarding your heart by withholding your love
Just does not make any sense

Your heart like an instrument needs to be tuned
And its strings they need replaced
Polished and cleaned and buffed to a shine
A heart broken can have a new face

Don't stop playing your music you just hit a wrong note
Tune, restring, polish and clean
Take up your heart and try once again
And soon you will see what I mean

All this time, I have thought
As I laid my heart at your feet
That my whole world revolved round you
And all my needs you'd meet

I thought the sun it rose in you
And without you it would not
That my whole world it turned for you
And in all of this I forgot

I forgot about my true purpose
Lost sight of His Plan
When I put all my faith in you
I put all my faith in man

Turning pages back in time
To days of long ago
Seeking to find out who I am
And which way I must go

Looking over what has been
And what has yet to be
I see a heart in my mind's eye
Calling out to me

Worlds of wonder not of this time
In a place I'm not from
Call out to me and I want to run
Find my way back home

Home is not this place called here
It is what I seek to find
I don't belong here where I am
I belong with the heart that's calling mine

Please take this fire away from me
With it I don't know what to do
You are what I want and what I need
And I burn with love for you

This heart of mine cries out to me
Move back from the flame
Yet I move even closer
And have only self to blame

I have tried to stop this need inside
By throwing sand upon the fire
This inside it will not die
The flames they just burn higher

You thought you drove a nail into my heart
When you said goodbye
Left me here to stand alone
Thinking I would cry

Your nail it only pricked a bit
As it narrowly missed its mark
Because the point that it was aiming for
Did not contain my heart

Walk away and take your tools
Your hammer and your nail
And the next time that you aim
You'll only hurt yourself

You see the heart that you were seeking
To drive your nail into
Does not belong to me
As I gave it to you

Run to me when your worlds not right
I'll meet you halfway
Tell me all that has gone wrong
I want to hear about your day

Come to me when you are glad
And share your joy with me
I will listen with a smile
As your joy I love to see

Place your hand in mine
Whenever you need a friend
And have nothing at all to say
I'll hold yours once again
And quietly I'll stay

My arms are open always for you
Anytime that you need to be held close
And I'll enfold you in their love
As it is what you need the most
