You, my darling, oh my sweetheart, how I love you. 
Lucky am I to have you by my side. 
How you move, improve and soothe me, I adore you. 
My love could be no deeper even if I tried. 

A heart broken, somehow opened, by you sweetheart, 
You touched the strings and struck a chord like none before 
How you played me maybe swayed me, then you saved me 
Bringing peace, warmth and comfort to my mind. 
You’re my home; and my light, oh my sweetheart, 
Forever one and only, true love of my life 

(Instrumental) 

A heart broken, somehow opened, by you sweetheart, 
You touched the strings and struck a chord like none before 
How you played me maybe swayed me, then you saved me 
Bringing peace, warmth and comfort to my mind. 
You’re my home; and my light, oh my sweetheart, 
Forever one and only, true love of my life 

Oh, my sweetheart. 
You, my sweetheart.

She’s found all alone apart at the seams 
Her thoughts are clouded, scattered from dreams 
Committed to love, these thoughts have always been 
overtly denied of what’s been imagined 

From a bellowing groan to a wallowing moan, you feel her pain 
comes a mournful whine, a grievous sigh, drenched in shame
Her mind and her body are weary and tired 
Through the days and the nights to the lowest highs 
A story of a heart unfurled 
As it rains in her world

Unspoken words make mountains of sense 
It’s love and not lust, it's her primal defense 
The absence of love, she cannot be whole 
With all that binds her heart to her restless soul 

From a bellowing groan to a wallowing moan, you feel her pain 
comes a mournful whine, a grievous sigh, drenched in shame
Her mind and her body are weary and tired
Through the days and the nights to the lowest of highs 
A story of a heart unfurled 
As it rains in her world 

New tears won’t fall, they flood her mind 
Overflowing, leaving her blind 
Over and over and over in time
Longing for this love 

From a bellowing groan to a wallowing moan, you feel her pain 
Comes a mournful whine, a grievous sigh, drenched in shame
Her mind and her body are weary and tired  
Through the days and the nights and the lowest of highs 
A story of a heart unfurled 
As it rains in her world

Each passing day, she's uneasy and worn 
Seeking peace in her life, a calm after the storm 
She cannot go out, finding nowhere to hide 
She cannot escape when it’s raining inside 

Survival, a constant struggle 
Attempt to fit pieces of a puzzle 
And when you think you’ve got it figured out 
Interrupted, you’re turned and tossed about 

In this day and time you make do 
Take what you have and turn it into 
The world according to the way you need it 
Unsatisfied, a cycle of survival repeated. 

In anticipation of a swelling tide 
You ride the wave until it subsides 
Fall into the pool soon to disperse 
Life’s forceful undertow pulls you in reverse 

Every day you have to make do 
Take what you have and turn it into 
The world according to the way you need it 
Unsatisfied, a cycle of survival repeated. 
Once more, full circle, and all as you need it 
Unsatisfied, a cycle of survival repeated.

They say time stops 
for nothing and no one. 
In times, such as these 
when you love someone 
life carries meaning 
and far greater value, 
than just you here with me 
and that I’m here with you. 

It’s as if minutes assume 
not only the gravity, 
but weight of time too, 
of what’s happening 
between me and you 

Time slows just enough 
seems somehow to block 
affords moments, more time 
bends the hands of a clock 

We can’t say goodbye 
But we’ve no choice 
Unable to speak 
Losing my voice 

The ticking of time 
A clock offers this sound 
Aware in my mind 
Moments more I’ve found 

It’s as if minutes assume 
not only the gravity, 
but weight of time too, 
of what’s happening 
between me and you 

Time slows just enough 
And in case you forgot 
It can hold; only bending 
the hands of the clock. 

We wish and we want 
Then hope to receive 
gifts plentiful, found 
are all that we need 

take pause, take time 
with minutes you live in 
be present and prime for 
opportunities given 

It’s as if minutes assume 
not only the gravity, 
but weight of time too, 
of what’s happening 
between me and you 

Time slows just enough 
And in case you forgot 
It can hold; only bending 
the hands of the clock.

Entranced by your presence  
I can only see you  
Captured by my stare  
Turn away, beware  
Wonder why I am there  
Look again, do not dare  

Fumble to focus  
On something anew  
Return my glances  
So tense, but on cue  
Curiosity run wild  
Scents through me imbue  
Like music transcends  
This attraction to you  
Catch a glimpse as this hunger  
Builds inside me untamed  
The weight of my stare  
you feel, yet unfeigned  

Entranced by your presence  
I am fixed on you  
Captured by my stare  
Turn away, beware  
Wonder why I am there  
Look again, do not dare

In this dream each night  
I am absorbed by you  
Embrace it all so tight  
Can I hold you in sight?  

I can’t believe I see  
Thoughts of you and me  
A dream without mercy  
Ends in reality  

Knowing in my heart  
I could change my life  
Lose myself in plight  
And begin again tonight  

I can’t believe I see  
Thoughts of you and me  
A dream without mercy  
Ends in reality  

I lay me down and pray  
A light to guide my way  
Relieve my mind and free  
My soul of misery  
Never again to lead  
My life outside of this dream

Anger and pain  
seem one and the same  
as I look to the sky  
for reasoning why  
I can’t be with you,  
I can’t live this lie.  

Your life, you move on  
love for me is all gone  
never mind how I cried  
desire must be denied  
a fool out of sight  
with darkness inside  

So, see me again  
in your world now and then  
think back and dream  
how it could have been  
if you had let me feel you  
as I felt you pretend.  

Anger and pain  
seem one and the same  
as I look to the sky  
for reasoning why  
I can’t be with you  
but I can’t live this lie  
no, I can’t live this lie.

How can you be so strong 
in a place you don’t belong 
knowing how you’re perceived 
head high, conscience relieved 

How is it you got so far 
Little damage, seldom a scar 
How are you able to stand so tall 
In a world so perfect yet so small 

Are you content with things as they are 
as you drive up in your expensive car 
With this attitude you never had before 
It’s all changed, now become a chore 

Happiness; a heavy price to pay 
When you have no one around to say 
“I love you” and give you what you need 
Then help you from what you need to be freed 

It’s no perfect world when you have to pretend 
To have so much; but being your only friend

I once was in love 
it’s now in the past 
I knew full well 
it wouldn’t last 

It came to a point 
so perfectly clear 
kept to myself 
and held so dear 

That time of my life 
isolation remained 
a part of my soul 
given away is regained 

In solace and wisdom 
I am rest assured 
find myself lonely 
So in love, no more

Each moment is too precious  
to let so much affect us  
This existence developed  
At times thoughtless, corrupt  
We run hard, in a hurry  
Aimlessly wander and worry  
Then lose touch with what’s real  
things trivial rarely reveal  
how we live and unwind  
But near death we find  
To live life each day is to live life divine.

Can we gracefully view our lives  
Without it passing before our eyes?  
Nothing matters when The Time comes,  
To make wrongs right or change what we have done.
