So Tender

When you are not around I close my eyes both day and night.
You see I dream of you taking me in your arms.
Holding me so very tight telling me how much you love me.
In your own special way making love so tender.
Touching me so softly putting a chill in the air.
Loving you comes so easy you pick me up when I am down.
And take all my fears right away I for get all my
yesterdays.
Never caring if tomorrow ever comes as long as you are there
at my side.
With you every dream I had has come true in my eyes you are
my knight in shinning armour and my everlasting dream.

Darling

How do I say I love you and really let you know.
The beauty that you gave me deep down in my soul.
How do I convey how dear you are to me.
How can I explain the way you set me free.
Without you I am never whole nor could I ever be
For all my life I've searched for you the missing part of me.
Now I'll said it for all to know I love you darling with my
heart and soul,
And by your side I want to stay so we can walk thru life
hand in hand.

Lovers

Grip tightly my hand as we go, never allow your fear to show.
As quietly as you can move forward, leave behind the past.
Live for us at long last, not for all those other.
Hold on to the dreams, things are not as they seem.
God would not allow you to suffer, kiss me now and forever
more
Our lives have plenty of happiness in store. We shall always be
lovers.

Because

Because the sun shines each and everyday.
All the roses are in full bloom so red and full of love and
life.
Before the sun goes down everyone closes their eyes.
And dream the dreams so real that they are of no surprise.
Between the spaces which and each and every line.
Always will be found in the reality of time.

My Father

My father is dead oh what should I do.
Should I lay down and cry my eyes out are should
I just say God took him away with a cherry smile,
And a wave of a hand he has gone into a unknown land.
