Something

Something’s been taken away from me,
Something I cared for since I knew how to love.
Something, that has touched my heart in so many ways
That words are never enough.

Fear brings us to anger,
And anger to mistakes,
And mistakes bring us nothing but hurt,
And let us fall before we even notice.

Then something’s been taken away from me
Something so precious, too precious to believe,
Something that has touched my heart in so many ways
That words are never enough.




About You

Though emptiness inside of me
Is filling the gap I’m missing today,
Memories I’ve shared with you
Will always follow me along the way.

Inspiration is your name,
Love is your desire,
Respect and guidance is your life,
Things about you I do admire.

An angel who helped me fly,
To see the greatness of this world,
To bring life to my lifeless heart,
And fill it up with lots of gold.

I carry you in the palm of my hands,
And in the depth of my tender heart,
Until there is no more to hold,
And our ways will finally drift apart.

What I feel for you

You gave me wings to fly
The very moment I met you,
You gave me strength to be worthwhile
In everything I do.

Your heart has made me strong
To believe in our love
It made me see the good things
And the good things are never enough

When I feel you struggle
With whatever is killing you inside,
I touch my heart and think of you
And be the rock that stands by your side.

I’ll be the one to hold your hand
In good times and in bad times,
I help you carry your heart
So it won’t get to heavy inside.

I’ll be your thoughts to keep you happy
I’ll be the strength you think you’re loosing,
My thoughts, my heart, my mind and soul
Are with you anywhere I go.

You send me a kiss
I send it back to you,
Filled with the love you truly deserve
To help you find out what to do.

Let my love be your company,
Let it shine deep within you,
It’s there no matter how far you are,
For in me all that’s shining is you.

With every day passing,
I realize what you are to me:
The very breaths I take to live,
And the foot prints I see in front of me.

You make me complete,
In every way I’ve ever known,
And to see that you’re happy,
Gives me strength to hold on.

In our dreams I still believe,
Our wishes I can see coming true,
Because you and me is what God gave us
To do what life wants us to do.

Honor

I feel honored to have you in my life,
You are my sun, my moon, my day and night;
The love I feel makes me complete,
The pain and anguish I defeat.

Though times are tough and hard to bear,
Just call out my name and I will be there;
I will bend and fight and I will bleed,
If that is what you truly need.

No one can keep me away from you,
You’re constantly on my mind, whatever I do;
Without you I find no place to go,
I always have you with me, you should know.



Don't Go Away

I see the truth coming right at me,
I see I’ve made mistakes that shouldn’t have to be,
My bitterness keeps me from loving,
My sadness keeps me from laughing

I’ve been around the world,
And I’ve learned nothing turns into gold,
If I don’t pray, if I don’t believe
And I know I do believe in you and me

Please let me hold your hand,
I truly want to understand,
What it is that keeps us together,
I want to be with you forever

I know that I will wait for you,
And I know that I will come for you,
Nothing in this world can keep me away
From loving you each and every day

No pain or anguish can defeat,
For what I feel for you is real,
I will show you what it means,
If you only stay with me

The good and bad times we’ve been through,
But despite of all, I do love you,
My heart is aching for you each day
And I can’t just throw all that away

I’ve played my chances not just once,
And no apology can make things better,
And with this song I’m begging you to stay,
I’m asking you, don’t go away.

Feelings

A love that awakens the soul
Is the most precious there is
That makes your lover’s eyes glow
And your heart fills with bliss

The eternal flame spark,
To let love grow through the day
Pushing aside fears in the dark,
And light up the way.

A feeling of tenderness
To caress its proprietor,
A moment always to possess,
While the sound of life turns quieter.

Unfinished

A hundred letters
Unwritten;
A thousand sheets
Blank;
A million words
Unsaid;
An endless love
Unheard.

Home

Set me free
My soul;
Let me out
To breath;
Let me walk
I see the path;
But still hold me close,
So I can see.

Take me away
To a new world;
Lead the way
To keep me safe;
Be my light
And be my darkness;
Let me be myself,
Through day and night.

Bring me home
Hold me tight;
Be the warmth
Of love forever;
Be the key
To unlock the door;
And be my welcome,
I want to stay home.



Now That You're Gone

You’ve given me the light
When the road was dark and gray,
You have shown me love to give,
And never took it away.

When the miles got longer,
And there seemed no way out,
You’ve been my crying shoulder,
I never feared to be without.

When the stars do shine at night,
I see your face up close,
Knowing you’re looking down at me,
That’s the way it goes.

The angels are now your company,
Heaven is now your home,
Singing the tune you’ve sung with me,
I realize, that you are gone.

Heaven

To hear your voice and see you smile,
Your laughter brings peace to my soul;
More precious than any diamond;
There is one thing I know, I do
Heaven knows I love you.

Being away turns me inside out,
Missing you is hard on me,
But knowing you are happy,
With whatever you might do;
Heaven knows I love you.

You may not feel and may not see,
That my heart still beats for you,
And no one could take that away;
Oh, if you only knew
That heaven knows I love you.

If my heart could speak the words I feel,
It would never stop to say a word,
For so many words are never enough,
To describe how much I love you,
But heaven knows that I do.

All my wishes and all my dreams,
Are far away when I think of you,
All I ever need in life
Is to know, you love me, too,
For heaven knows I do love you.



Where Did You Go?

Where did you go?
When did you leave?
I lost track of you
In the jungle of life.

The road’s been rocky,
The day’s been stormy,
Somewhere along the way,
You slipped away.

Remember the fun?
Remember the joy?
Can’t seem to find it,
No matter where I look.

I’ve searched the deepest ocean,
Searched the highest mountain,
Looked in every dark corner,
But you’re nowhere to find.

You might still be here,
And, yet, you’re not,
I lost a part of me,
I have lost my best friend.

Life is like candy

Like a candy cane on Christmas,
Or cotton candy on the carousal,
Life is sweet
Just like the heart’s beat.

A giant chocolate candy bar,
Added to a load of whipped cream;
Life is sweet,
You’re light on your feet.

Like Jelly beans of any kind,
Gum drops melting on your tongue,
Life is sweet;
Life is complete.
