that was another time

wish somebody was paying more attention to me
once there was somebody, now there is nobody
wish somebody was enjoying my love of the rhyme
once there was somebody but that was another time

that was another time
when my eyes would not tear up
at the sight of lovers

that was another time
when i was not always alone
under the covers

once upon a time
love was so sublime
that was another time

wish somebody was around to hold me tonight
once there was somebody, now there is nobody
wish somebody was sharing life with me today
but no one is here, what can i say

that was another time
when my heart was still hopeful
at the sight of lovers

that was another time
when i still trusted someone
under the covers

once upon a time
love was so sublime
that was another time

wish somebody loved somebody and that somebody was me
does anybody live for loving you?
wish somebody was the somebody from my fantasy
does anybody make your dreams come true?

once upon a time that was me
living in love in reality
sharing every moment honestly openly completely
trusting unconditionally
believing in eternity
actualizing my fantasy

that was another time
that was another place
that was another time
that was another me

sincerity

if I fell in love with you
would you want me to
come closer
or mover farther away

if I fell in love with you
oh what would you do
come closer
or move farther away

intensity
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
superficial friends

but honesty
has more appeal for me
and yet sincerity
leads to such sudden ends

so if I simply smile at you
would you want me to
come closer
or move further away

if I simply smile at you
oh what would you do
come closer
or move farther away

humanity
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
oblivious to love

oh can you see
that insecurity
makes love the enemy
and so they look above

when the real world gets too scary
do you pray
or do you find a way
to stay?

reality
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
lost in fantasy

but honesty
has more appeal for me
and so sincerity
is my way to be
sincerity
sets me free

so if I shared myself with you
whatever you choose to do
come closer
or move farther away

I will still smile at you
and wish you well
and are free to come or go
and if you want to know
when my true feeling show
I would rather
you’d stay
