the lost child's kiss


yes you were the first to make my dreams come true
and no one has touched the innocence of you
the fantasy you became in me enhances my reality
every moment I’m alive you are here with me
every moment you increase all I can be

and we never have to touch again
though it would be sad
if we didn’t for love never ends
that that is what we had

and we never have to kiss again
though it would be wild
if we did to see if that passion
was lost with the lost child

we were the first to touch the deepest part of each other’s heart
we were the first to ignite the passion burning inside
we were the children finding out about the birds and the bees
and the lost child still sings love will not be denied

it may not be acceptable to take it seriously after all this time
it may be considered strange by the normal standards
but how many hearts have been crush by the force of conformity
if there were rules in love it would not be as exciting as it is

so you were the first to make my dreams come true
and no one has touched the innocence of you
the fantasy you became in me enhances my reality
every moment I’m alive you are here with me
every moment you increase all I can be

and the one who can understand
this is the precious magic that is love
and the one who can feel this magic in my hand
will becaome part of everything every heart dreams of

finding the lost child inside the heart
you know yours longs to be cherished again
the deepest part of the human heart
is where the lost child finds a best friend

it may not be acceptable to take love seriously after all these years
grown up maturity may demand more control than this
but how many hearts have been crush by the force of conformity
if there were rules in love it would not be as exciting as it is
so touch me now and share the magic of a kiss
touch me now and share the lost child’s kiss

and (now) you are the first to make my dreams come true
and no one can touch the innocence of you
the fantasy you become in me enhances my reality
every moment I’m alive you are here with me
every moment you increase all I can be

for love (and for romance)

time passes
it seems so long ago
since I was in love
with someone real

fear masses
it seems to stop the flow
of love, oh love, I wonder
can I still feel?

has the chance for love
passed me by
is there nothing left to do
but die?

will I ever see another
look into my eyes
with love, oh love, I wonder
has it all been lies?

the first dream I remember
the last dream I recall
the only dream that matters
the greatest dream of all
for me there is one story
the same old song and dance
to fall in love, to live and die
for love and for romance

but time passes
it seems so very long
since I was in love
with someone real

fear masses
the longer I’m alone
oh love, my love, how long
will I be on my own?

has the chance for love
passed me by
is there nothing left to do
but die?

will I ever see another
look into my eyes
with love, oh love, how long
has it all been lies?

the first dream I remember
the last dream I recall
the only dream that matters
the greatest dream of all
for me there is one story
the same old song and dance
to fall in love, to live and die
for love and for romance

so I will go on dreaming
beyond my last breath
I will go on believing
in love after death
and I will continue hoping
there’s always hope that I
will fall in love again
once more before I die

as time passes
and it seems so long
since I was in love
with someone real

fear masses
and I become immune
to love, oh love, I wonder
is my love song out of tune?

has the chance for love
passed me by
is there nothing left to do
but die?

will I ever see another
look into my eyes
with love, oh love, I wonder
is there a heart without lies?

still…
the first dream I remember
the last dream I recall
the only dream that matters
the greatest dream of all
for me there is one story
the same old song and dance
to fall in love, to live and die
for love… and for romance
to fall in love, to live and die
for love… and for romance

all i want is you

every night i go out
every night i have fun
sometimes i’m hanging with friends
sometimes i’m a party of one
and every night i come home
to write a little song
about the one i haven’t found
i’ve been looking for so long

and i know she’s out there somewhere
i can feel her in the wind
i can see her in the starlight
she’s been everywhere i’ve been
as i roam around through the night
her scent is in the air
she is everything i hope to find
she is everywhere
but she’s not here

long lost lass
my future’s past
the one i’m waiting for

you carry me
to marry me
to where i want no more

all the lovely ladies
beautiful smiles
the bring me nothing new

i live to find
your heart and mind
my everything is you
(all i want is you)

every day i’m working
to build a better life
i love the things i’m doing
but still don’t have a wife
for no one holds a candle
to the one i know inside
she is everything i hope for
and i will not be denied

cuz i know she’s out there somewhere
i can feel her in the wind
and her eyes reflect the moonlight
she is where my life begins
i’m always exploring new places
for her scent is in the air
i see her in all the smiling faces
she is everywhere
but she’s not here

long lost lass
my future’s past
the one i’m waiting for

you carry me
to marry me
to where i want no more

all the lovely ladies
beautiful smiles
the bring me nothing new

i live to find
your heart and mind
my everything is you
(all i want is you)

i’m forever building bridges to her heart
you can hear me singing softly after dark
it’s a wonderful life,
but there’s some magic
that has yet to start
and all i can do is wait for the girl
to come and play her part

cuz i know she’s out there somewhere
she’s the answer in the wind
blowing stardust into my eyes
she is where my life begins
i’m enjoying everything i do
and this vision is so clear
i see her light come shining through
she’s my xanadu
she’s my shangra-la
(i live for her to appear)
she is everywhere…
but she’s not here
oh she’s not here


long lost lass
my future’s past
the one i’m waiting for

you carry me
to marry me
to where i want no more

all the lovely ladies
beautiful smiles
the bring me nothing new

i live to find
your heart and mind
my everything is you
(all i want is you)

i've got everything
fiend's call me king
but no one has a clue

i live to find
your heart and mind
my everything is you
(all i want is you)

tonight

where are you tonight my love
when i am here alone
staring at the stars above
hearing my heart moan
loneliness is an old friend
an ache only you cure
so where are you tonight, my love
and how can i be sure

incomplete

because i want to share
i stay awake each night
because i want to share
i write

because i want to care
i give up everything
because i want to care
i sing

to keep the energy
to keep it sensual
to keep the dream alive
until the one arrives

and i don't ask for anything
except some one to share
and i do not want anything
except someone to care

because i want to love
i stay awake each night
for all these lonely years
i write

because i want to care
i embrace everyone
because i want to care
i run

to keep the energy
to keep the stamina
to keep the dream alive
until the one arrives

and i don't ask for anything
except some one to share
and i do not want anything
except someone to care

i am the child inside
giving all i can give
i just want to love
i just want to live

i am the child inside
trying to stay true
to the dream of love
i keep here for you

because i want to share
i stay awake each night
because i want to share
i write

because i want to care
this song is incomplete

what are you doing tonight?

what are you doing tonight
is someone holding you tight
do you live with a stranger or all alone
has everything turned out alright?

what are you doing tonight
do you long for morning light
is life full of danger or safe at home
has everything turned out alright?

counting the years, there are more than a few
counting the changesd between me and you
but counting the memories we never knew
do we wonder what happens when dreams come true
has everything turned out alright... for you?

the children i would have called my own
the children that i never knew
the life you share is it all that you wanted
is it real, is it right, is it true?
has everything turned out alright... for you?

you can say i'm still waiting
for perfect love's return
for i knew it once
and nothing else burns
as sweet or as bright
as pure or as true
nothing else compares
nothing else will do
unless you never knew

what are you doing tonight
is someone holding you tight
the life you share, is it all that you wanted
is it real, is it right, is it true
has everything turned out alright... for you?
i hope everything's turned out alright... for you.

dream for one more day

i made your children my children inside my head
so have you come back to take that illusion away?
i don't want to remember all the mean things we said
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were strong and flourished in my mind
and even though the best of them may not have come true
remembering them as i do can be kind

and if i embellish on them now and then
who's to say what was or might have been?

i made your heart my heart inside my memories
as beautiful as any dream love could ever know
so if you're here to wake me from my fantasies
no, no no, no, no, i don't want to let this dream go

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were so beautiful in my mind
even even though the years have challenged them to fail
remembering them as do can be kind

so if i exaggerate them now and then
who's to say what could or might have been?

and what is real?...
anyway?
is it not what we feel
right now, today?
and if i feel love
and wish i could share it with you
is that so wrong
even if it's a dream that will not come true
what if it's still the best i can do?

so please don't tell me what to do inside my head
even if you don't want me part of your life's play
i'll remain devoted to my dream of loving you
and the children will be mine for one more day
i just want to keep my dream for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were all i'd ever hoped to find
now i'm in those years where any day could be my last
so let my dreams be the last thought on my mind

and if i don't hear a single word you say
it's just cuz
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day
just leave me with my dreams for one more day
just let me have my dream...
for one more day
