So they come and so they go
Barely staying long enough to show
A fraction of the love that they profess
Tempting us with piper's songs
Like children we just tag along
Until one day they disappear like all the rest.
How can they teach our hearts to sing
With promises and golden rings?
How can they give and take so easily?
Are we all so blind?
Or is it just that we're the kind
That's attracted to the kinds
That cannot see?
I don't confess to know at all
Why my heart's against the wall
Very nearly all the time that I exist.
But I'll sing my song again
And hope someday a gentle wind
Will bring back the love
That I have so deparately missed.

I think I have been here once before
Standing in this open door
While love that was but is no more
Slowly walks away.
But something now is not the same
I feel the sunshine not the rain
Perhaps the tears were not in vain
I shed for you each day.
You taught me how to recognize
When love is true, and realize
That in the Truth love can
Survive for all eternity.
You taught me to believe in dreams
To keep the faith, although it seems
That sometimes life is cruel and mean
As only life can be.
I pray the love that's come your way
Will grow with each and every day
And happiness will always stay
Forever by your side.

 

Today, I feel as if my heart has been dropped into a well
And I can only stand here helplessly waiting for
The sound of it hitting the bottom.

There is a feeling growing within this heart of mine
Growing stronger day by day
Yearning for its time.
Perhaps the spirit of my love
Is waiting patiently
Perhaps it's the thought of you still embracing me.
Sometimes it turns me upside down
And empties out my soul
Then quickly fills it up again
With thoughts I can't control
Could it be your memory no longer has a hold?
You're happy now with someone else
It's time to let you go.

DON'T FORGET YOUR HEART
I know you're feeling lonely
I know you're feeling blue
I know its seems the dreams you built
Are falling down on you.
I know the thought that lingers
Deep within your troubled mind
I know you think this mountain
Is too high for you to climb.
But when the night surrounds you
And you have no strength to fight
Remember, just beyond the clouds
The stars are shining bright.
And when the rain is over
And the sky's clear and blue
Don't the flowers seem to be
Much prettier to you?
So keep the candle burning
Even though your future's dark
Don't deny the yearning
Of the love that's in your heart.

GOODBYE
I never liked to say goodbye
It's the sort of thing that makes me cry
And I seem to say a lot of goodbyes now a days.
But if you really have to go
Before the tears begin to flow
I'd like to say a word about your loving ways.
There's a side of you I know
That you very rarely show
A side of you that's sensitive and kind.
So much love you have inside
Such a waste to try and hide
So, light your candle, hold it high, and let it shine.
Though it ends without a start
You must know you've touched my heart
For I cannot watch you leave without regret
But I am happier by far
Because of you my shining star
The heavens are much brighter since we met.
You've been more than life to me
You gave me tranquility
Such a peace on earth I've never known before.
Loving feelings linger on
Like the after glow of dawn
And can't be silenced by the closing of the door.
