Magic

If this isn't magic
then how come my shadow is here before me:
was I drunk once under the stars?
are those tears running off your eyes?

Could it be magic
that Love is here, in this room
standing before us:
see a star light up in the sky
it's cold outside - perhaps we'd best go inside?

I know that you are magic
or else you won't be standing there
smiling back at me:
see a blush rest on your cheek
like a rose blooming under a cloudy sky.

If Only The NIght Would Remain

Slip inside the darkness of your mind
maybe someday you'll find
that little piece of heaven you left behind.

Love is never where you hope it would be
sometimes it's so hard to see
that thing we so much need.

So many nights I've been searching through my brain
wondering whatever it was I said
that drove you away,
someday, I know you'll learn to forgive
but this pain will forever be inside of me
if only the night would remain
that the stars would gaze down and show that
no longer am I the man you once left behind,

But if already it's too late
I pray you never let what we once had
to bring you down.

Strange Flower

Strange flower
from the moment I plucked through your petals
you became my sunshine,
my compass star up in the sky;

Strange flower, be mine
let's cruise through life as one soul
I'll never let you go
girl, I want to be with you till we grow old;

Lovely, strange flower you are
I'll write you a thousand love songs
if only you'll be my bride.

The Feelings You Get When She's Gone

If only I knew of the right words
if only I'd said them at the right moment
the right time
then perhaps you never would have gone away
but now you're gone
this house is now an empty home
and fool that I am
I'm sitting here grasping your pillow, missing you

These are just the feelings you get when she's gone.

If only I could turn back the hands of time
and try, try very hard
to make-up when we ought to have
if only I could take back those nights I hurt you bad
the nights I left you in drowning eyes
I'd be the one to admit that I am sorry
and who knows, maybe then you'd forgive and stay
but now you're gone
an emptiness is all I have left ...

these are just some of the feelings every man gets when the lady's up and left.

Should We ...

Should we fall in love
before the moon comes up,
know that this feelings of mine were meant for thee
that your heart somewhere, somehow,
became one with mine
that everytime I gaze into your eyes
I can only but breath the freshness of your skin
and be overjoyed that you're here with me.


Should we fall out of love
before the morning sun rises
know that it wasn't intentional
this feeling of mine, troubled though it may seem
beseeching of trying so hard to know into what depths of pain
we must have wrought upon ourselves
as the road diverges
for us to travel our separate ways.

Breakups to Makeups

I loved you once
whatever made you think I can't love you again?

You broke my heart once,
no, too many times,
here you are, doing it again.

Times I've made you smile
you'd pack up your bags and leave
saying you're heading off to your moms,
two days later I'd come looking for you
and then you'd run back into my arms ...

how the past and tomorrow are always the same
when it comes to being with you
how I hate you in the morning
but here I am, making love to you in the night.

There & Anywhere Else

You've waited patiently
so it seems
the sun has long gone away
yet you're still here waiting for my train.

Darling, there's something you should know
it pains me so much to say these words
once again it seems you'll be spending your nights
by yourself,
I wish we could have it other ways, but
things can't be helped: we have to still remain
our separate ways.

But don't you worry, don't you fret
because I'll be there,
my dear,
and anywhere else
you can count on me never to leave you alone
just think of me, and I'll be there.
