Once upon a Love.

Once upon a time, once upon a place.

Once upon a memory, once upon a dream.
Once in a lifetime, once on a lonely night.
Once in the moon light, once when it was right.

Only in a dream, only with my heart.
Only with a loving kiss, only after dark.
Only when in my arms, only from above.
Only in my eyes, Only with love.

Never with a frown, never with a bad word.
Never with a raised hand, never with hate
never in pain, never severe.
never out of jealousy, never out of fear.

Time only for you,  a place only for us.
Memories to remember, dreams never to forget.
A lifetime in a moment, not another lonely night.
Moon light as our blanket, It'll always be right.

I only want you here with me.

The lights come on and there you are.

Singing and dancing close to me.

With a single smile, you are my star.

Never to be taken away from me.

With my heart in my hand.

You know where I stand.

And you know who'll always be by your side.

On a moonlit night.

It'll be alright.

The stars in the sky will be our guide.

We dance, we sing, I love to bring

that light into your eyes.

We walk, we talk, you sigh, I cry.

I only want you in my arms.

The night goes on and here I am.
wishing you were here beside me.
You are my dream, you'll always be.
The fire that burns deep inside of me.
With your hand in mine.
I see the sign.
And you know who'll always be by my side.

On a moonlit night.
It'll be alright.
The stars in the sky will be our guide,

We kiss, we touch. I love you so much.
Nothing could keep me away from you.
We cry, we scream, you are my dream.
I only want you in my arms.

We dance, we sing, I love to bring
that light of love into your eyes,
We walk,we talk, you sigh, no lie.
I only want you in my arms.

9:00 PM Blues

Its 9:00 and I'm here all alone.

Nothing to do but wait by the phone.

My drinks half gone and the pretzels are stale.

An old queen just winked, maybe I should bale.

But its cold outside and I've nothing to wear.

And its starting to rain, but I really don't care.

I've a song in my head that just makes me feel mad.

It's all about love and that feels bad.

A simple little tune but it doesn't mean much.

It really just reminds me that I'm so out of touch.

So play me that sad song so I can have a good  cry.

Of hurt and pain then tell another another lie.

A kiss to remember, a slap to forget.

Of nights all alone and all the regret.

But all that will change the second you walk in.

All smiles return and the love will begin.

Its 3 am and I answer your call.

I know you'll be there to catch my fall.

To wipe away my tears and brighten my day.

And push back the drama and make it go away.

I can't find my way back home.

From bright lights and a dark room.

No matter where it might be that I might roam.

From concert halls to empty barrooms.

I can't find my way back home.

Your on my mind no matter where I go

In my thoughts and dreams and that you know

From Paris to London New York or Rome.

I still can't find my way back home.

So many quiet nights I sit and dream

Of happier days and sweet extreme.

Of jokes and smiles of frowns and tears.

To brighten your day and quiet your fears.

Now all that's gone and I'm alone.

I sit and wait and watch the phone.

There's no more smiles I only groan.

Why can't I find my way back home.

Falling

Falling into darkness

Falling out of the light.

Feeling completely hopeless.

Nothing seems to be right.

So lost in my loneliness.

No one seems to be there.

My tears flow like a river.

Lost without a prayer

.

Screaming for a way out.

A path into the light

Some way to clear the shadows.

A way to make it right.

I know I've made mistakes.
And I can't right my wrong.
So here I sit in darkness.
Right where I belong.

So listen to my words.
And tell me if they're true.
I only have one thing to say.
And that is I miss you.

Dazed and Confused.

Circles and squares.

And ups and downs.

And words go round and round.

Thoughts and ideas.

Emotions and feeling.

Depressed and feeling down.

I try to help.

I try to soothe.

But nothing seems to work.

Questions and answers

that always confuse.

I feel its all guesswork.
But I'll be there.

Through thick and thin.

Whenever you may call.

With hands held out.

A helpful friend.

To be there if you fall.

My home town is no more.

In my home town everything's changed.

There are no more theatres.

The Capital's just a memory on a sign.

All my families gone.

I've no friends there at all

The streets there have changed.

No children play in the school yards

and there are drug dealers on every corner.

The trees on my street have been cut down

and my Grandfathers house was torn down.

Through all these years and all the tears.

From all the schools and all the bullies.

And all the smiles and all the miles.

And all the laughs and all the fun.

It isn't my home anymore.
