| THE ECHO |
| I want my lonely arms to hold you And my lips to taste your kiss. I want to whisper "I still love you" On a thousand nights like this. But, how can I tell you I still love? How can I show you I still care? How can I whisper "I still love you" To a room that's empty and bare? My lips that long to kiss you But can't touch yours anymore. My arms that long to hold you Are just as empty as before. And the lonely echo of "I still love you" Is the only sound I hear When I whisper "Istill love you" To my room and you're not there. |
| DREAMS |
| They say dreams are meant for dreamers So a dreamer I will be. For now that is the only way To have you here with me. Every night when I lie down And close my eyes to sleep I drift away to my own world Where you are mine to keep. But the morning brings the pain again It's the time I must realize That all the love we share at night With mornings light must die. So nighttime is my special friend, My secret hideaway, Where I can go to be with you And forget the coming day. |
| LOVE'S DEEPEST SECRET |
| True love is deeper than emotion Or the beautiful words we say. It's togetherness, sharing the good with the bad As we struggle through life each day. Surely it's more than the starlight Or a quickening pace of the heart. It's accepting each other just as we are And a feeling of loss when we are apart. True love is patient with old traits, Encouraging the best ones to grow. With planting and weeding, in time, there will be a rose. For truly, we reap what we sow. True love is a deepening friendship Accepting the past with the new. It's far more easy to believe we're in love Then to honestly say "I like you." Herein lies the deepest secret Protected from a wordly point of view, If we can't even like each other Then we can't be in love Because it's the liking in love that's the glue. |
| DON'T GET SERIOUS |
| You said "Don't get serious, I haven't got the time. I want to be your friend Because friends are hard to find." I said, "I won't get serious I haven't got the desire. I've been hurt too many times before By love's burning fire". We spent some time together, Alone, just you and me. You didn't have the feelings That, in my heart, came to be. I have to say goodbye now To set my heart free Deep down inside I know In love you'll never be. |
