And tonight
I’ll share with you the joy you’ve given me
If I had just one more moment
I know I’d get it right
I just want to say I love you
In the park tonight
Last night, I prayed for a peaceful world
And I know He heard my plea
For He is the one who made this place
To be shared by you and me
And He is the one who made our love
In our hearts, He’s found a home
And I can’t deny despite the pain
We never truly are alone
So I prayed
For your safe return
Tonight
I’ll find a way this time won’t have to end
And tonight
We’ll never have to say good-bye again
If I had just one more moment
I’d give to you my life
And I’d say I’ll love you always
Forever and tonight
Life’s Tragedy
Life’s tragedy is closing in on me
My mind is full of poverty
Why is it that our lives can be so empty
I know there’s so much more
Because I’ve seen it before
The paths are endless that we may choose
Life’s meaning is so unclear these days
Is there a reason to get up anyway
Well, there has to be
Because I’ve been getting up for years
What’s this enemy that I fear
Is it hiding deep inside my mind
Life’s tragedy is never knowing yourself
Being full of doubt
Not really understanding what life is all about
And what’s the role you play
Life’s tragedy kills people every day
Try Again
After all of the seasons
After all of the change
After all of the tears
After all of the pain
After all of the love
That just fades away
I wonder why nothing remains
After all of the loneliness
After all the good-byes
After all of the struggles
After all of the lies
After all of the distance
As time passes by
What makes the broken heart try
Again
The Way That I Love You
You can’t begin to understand
The way that I love you
You’re as beautiful as the seasons
As sweet as morning dew
Your smile lights up the heavens
It turns my world around
And all the things that I have lost
With you, they have been found
You can’t begin to even know
How much I need you in my life
Like the springtime needs the sunshine
Like the darkness needs the night
Your eyes are like reflections
Of a world that looks brand new
And I wish I could describe it
The way that I love you
But I know you need your freedom
There’s just no room for me
And I thought things could be different
I guess I couldn’t see
That we move in opposite circles
We change more than the tides
And the morning hours seem so cold
Without you by my side
But with me, you can’t find a future
And I would never hold you in chains
Still sometimes it’s so hard to believe
That we just don’t feel the same
For there were times we worked together
And somehow we grew apart
But I never lost the feelings
That were buried in my heart
Deep In Our Hearts
Is it deep in our hearts
Where all answers lie
I look at my past
I see the future collide
If we can’t learn to live
Can we at least coincide
Deep in our hearts
Our love will survive
Lonely hours lie before us now
And I’m here wondering why
Our love must fade away
The memories all escape my mind
As we try to fake a smile
When there’s nothing more to say
All the nights we spent out by the ocean
Watching lights drift by
And laughing in the wind
Now you say we’re just not right together
You want to slow it down
That we were never more than friends
But I can’t believe it
What were we holding onto
Why are we letting go
When I look into your eyes, girl
I swear that you don’t know
Love’s so far from perfection
In love, we learn to grow
And regardless of the reasons
I still love you so
Deep in our hearts
The truth always lies
I look at your face
I see the passions collide
If we can’t learn to live
How can we coincide
But deep in our hearts
Our love will survive
Just Friends
If I only had the words
If you could only understand
I don’t want to push our relationship further
Don’t we have plenty on our hands
Still it’s nice to know there’s company
When you’re hurt or feeling down
That’s what I think we’re all about
So we need to stick around
The love we share is different
We’re together, but still apart
We keep a close, mutual trust
We tell secrets from the heart
So I was wrong for pushing further
I wish I knew a song that I could sing
I would tell you I as sorry
If I thought it would solve anything
Let’s not give up what we have
I never want to start again
Our relationship is special to me
That we can call each other friends
Roses On The Table
The roses on the table
Just a symbol of my love
Though I know that they can’t tell you
All the things I’m dreaming of…
Now, I’m holding your hand
As we walk along the ocean
Can’t explain all of my emotions
Can’t imagine such a peaceful place
And I love to watch the breezes
Blowing softly through your hair
To hear the whispers of the seashells
And having you so near
How I’d love to sail across the waters
On a wave into your heart
To be the one who brings the laughter
Across your shining face
And as the sun was slowly setting
You walked back to the car
I knelt and wrote
“I love you” in the sand
Though the ocean took my words away
And the roses slowly fade
The future calls to me each night
And whispers out your name
The roses on the table
Just a symbol of my love…
A Poem To The President
Live and let live
That’s what they say
But shouldn’t we stand strong
Each and every day
When the whole world is watching
The things that we do
We all make mistakes
But it comes down to you
We’re still a young
nation
And yet, we’re so strong
It’s from hard determination
That helps us along
And we love all our neighbors
And we try to make friends
We’ve sat in Geneva
Again and again
And all of the weapons
Are man’s deadly tools
But if we threw them in the ocean
Wouldn’t we be the fools
Can’t they understand our view
We have to defend one another
Be it daughter to sister
Brother to brother
And nobody’s perfect
We all make mistakes
The world knows our freedom
The sacrifices we make
And the stars and the stripes
They fill me with pride
I’m proud to be an American
Let the bald eagle fly
We seek no domination
We just want to share
In making the world safe
Each and every where
We feel people should choose
The way that they live
We’re not here to take
We just want to give
And still we’re advancing
All the knowledge we store
They call us blood thirsty
But who ever wants war
Sometimes I wonder
What’s going on in your head
But I know freedom’s safe
When I go to bed
Rose Piano
Rose piano
Come play into my life
For you’re the only friend I have on these lonely nights
Your light, it feels so warm to me
Your light, it shines so bright
My rose piano
You are alright
Sweet music
Flows into my ear
Though you’re gone if the truth be known
I wish that you were here
Your love, it is my life to me
Your love, it makes me whole
Rose piano
Ease this weary soul
Rose piano
So many faces I have known
But you’re the one who stands by me
When I am alone
Your sound, it holds such memories
Your sound will make me pure
My rose piano
Your song endures
Yes, rose piano
Your song endures
Where Has All The Love Gone
Where has all the love gone
I thought we were so right
But now it seems I was all wrong
I’m alone again tonight
What happened to the good times
Where’s everything we had
Do we throw it all away right now
Did the good outweigh the bad
Where has all the joy gone
Where’s the beauty of it all
Can we ever walk hand in hand
Down these dark and hollow halls
Where did all our dreams go
Can we ever try again
We seemed to grow so far apart
Why did it have to end
Where did all our hopes go
Do they lie behind the door
Now there is no looking back
It’s different than before
What happens to our shattered lives
The night, it seems so long
Maybe we will never know
Where has all the love gone
Some Short Stuff
A friend
Is like a mighty oak tree
They do not break
Because of a little wind
Love is never wasted
When given freely
In self sacrifice
For love is a gift
We all are longing
To receive
Seek Jesus Christ
With all your heart
So that you may know
Peace
Hope
Joy
And the glory of His salvation
They say
That it’s not possible
To end hunger
Fight poverty
Stop war
Promote tolerance
To achieve world peace
But then again
They said
Jesus couldn’t raise from the dead
So how much can
They really know
Farewell
Time’s whirlwind hold my soul again
Capture me when I’m all alone
This suffering seems my only friend
All the doors are locked at my home
Life’s fantasy once made me believe
That love exists high above the clouds
Gentle rain as it glides across the leaves
All I had is lost and can’t be found
I never thought you’d do this to me
Turn my life into a private hell
Told me lies, you sure could deceive
So my final words are farewell
Love Of My Life
You are the love of my life
And I’ll be here forever
When tomorrow comes if ever
In the darkness, you’re my light
And you are the love of my life
Words can’t describe the feeling
How you make my weary soul believing
How you always make it right
And I can’t bear the thought
Of one moment of the day
Without you by my side
Without you in my arms
Now let me whisper that I love you
It’s not hard for me to say
I want you by my side
I want you in my arms
You are the love of my life
And there’s a hundred thousand reasons
Love’s an everchanging season
With words to numerous to write
You make the stars shine so bright
And I’ll be here forever
If tomorrow comes or never
You are the love of my life
When I See You
When I see you smile
When I here your laughter
For just a little while
Sometimes I feel so sad
When I see you cry
When I know I’ve just been dreaming
When I look in your eyes
To see all the beauty that is you
When I’m in your arms
When I am by your side
Your touch so soft and warm
With you I fly so high
When I hold your hand
When I gaze out from these mountains
To be part of life’s big plan
Is to have you here with me
When I’m longing for the spring
When I sail upon the ocean
Love is such a simple thing
Whenever I’m with you
I Prayed For You Today
I prayed for you today
Not in abstract generalities
But rather directly by name
And I prayed that God would give you peace
And that He would guide you on your way
That His love would surround you
That He would never be parted from you
So His blessings might flow in abundance
All the days of your life
Yes, that is what I said
When I prayed for you today
I asked to be a friend
For the days that I might grace your life
So no matter where you journey
You would see God’s love in me
And I asked to be a shining light
To give of myself completely
So in those times when you would need me
You would see God’s hope in me
And would hold you close to His heart
So that you would share His wonders
And bask in the glory of His ways
So I bowed my head in silence
And thanked Him for His new creation
Yes, that is what I said
When I prayed for you today
I’ll Remember You
I’ll remember you when I’m on my own
When I stand alone
And I’ll remember how you helped me make it
I’ll remember you when I need a friend
Because I will again
And I’ll remember all the gifts you showed me
I’m remember you when I say good-bye
And how I’ll cry
But you’ll never see the tears I’m weeping
All in vain
When time finally turned his wheel
Now we’re just getting older
All the dreams we had are dust
We hardly seem to know each other anymore
But does it matter anyway
You’re moving forward while I’m just looking back
Trying to turn the hands of time
I’m just a hopeless dreamer
I’ll remember you and how I feel
Because I know it’s real
And I’ll remember all the love you showed me
I’ll remember you when it’s cold outside
And how I’ll hide
When I should have told you what I was thinking
But as time goes by
I’ll always remember you
How Time Passes By
Ain’t it funny
How time passes by
Ain’t it funny
How time passes by
We always look to the mountains
And say that the good times
Are just on the other side
When they’re really before our eyes
Ain’t it funny
How time passes by
Afterlife
Does a journey begin
Where everything ends
Where do we go
When the lifeblood runs dry
Do we know all the answers
About this thing called death
Or do we keep on wondering why
Who knows the truth
Doctor or God
Which one has the faith
For the tunnel of light
Should we move slowly
Or as fast as we can
As our souls begin to take flight
And does so much depend
