keep yourself

once you start to think about it
you lose touch with your heart
for the heart requires no thought
emotion is instinct

yet you feel compelled to to do it
to communicate your heart
though the heart requires no words
no page to link

still here we are
are you reading
are you listening to this song
are you thinking

why are we here
is something missing
is something going wrong
in our hearts

where did we go
where did we go
where did we go
oh

keep yourself in your heart
don't life life tear you apart
give yourself the time to find
the silence in your mind

there you'll find more than dreams
you are all you've ever been
and there's nothing to explain
just remember once again

to keep yourself in your heart
you've been there from the start
there's nothing to think about
thinking just feed the doubt

take the time to free your mind
do not leave yourself behind
stop the rush of the day
don't let life get in your way

remember the innocence
recharge the excitement
it is not in any book on the shelf
it's true
it is right there in yourself
it's you

still here we are
are you reading
are you listening to this song
are you thinking

why are we here
is something missing
is something going wrong
in our hearts

where did we go
where did we go
where did we go
oh

keep yourself in your heart
don't life life tear you apart
give yourself the time to find
the honesty in your mind

there you'll find more than dreams
you are all you've ever been
and there's nothing to explain
just remember once again

to keep your truth in your heart
you've been there from the start
there's nothing to think about
thinking just feed the doubt

take the time to free your mind
do not leave yourself behind
stop the rush of the day
don't let life get in your way

remember the innocence
recharge the excitement
it is not in any book on the shelf
it's true
it is right there in yourself
it's you

younger years (the secret to charm)

this is the way it was in my younger years
when the night would never end
and i always had a friend

the story of my life was living without fears
and no need to pretend
no falsehoods to defend

with honesty as my guiding light
the day would fade into the night
knowing i meant no harm
was the core of my charm

if history will repeat itself
then i may come down from my shelf
with the same old smile
and the same new style

and if i wanted you
you knew just what to do
for when a heart is true
the message always come through

this is the way it was in my younger years
never had to be alone
and always secure on my own

the secret power is to not empower fears
so there's no need to pretend
and there are no lies to defend

with honesty as your guiding light
relax and be one with the night
knowing you mean no harm
that is the essence of charm

and the same old story will be told
of how true love never grows old
from peter pan to the holy grail
the innocent quests never fail

quixote knew
just what to do
the heart that's true
always shows through

and if i wanted you
you knew just what to do
for when a heart is true
the message always come through

this is the way it was in my younger years
when true love was real
and not afraid to feel

the magic moments were based on no fears
with no need to pretend
and no lies to defend

the story goes
for one who knows
honesty
will set you free
and the secret to charm
is knowing
you mean no harm

the secret to charm
is knowing...
you mean no harm

someone to love

without someone to love you
you still can be alright
though the ache of loneliness might come
to haunt you late at night

without someone to love you
the sun’s still gonna shine
though the moon might call out louder
saying someone please be mine

for loving is what life is about
just in case you had any doubt
all the money in the world isn’t worth
one moment of true love here on earth

for loving is what we are made for
no matter how well we ignore
the hunger that’s burning inside
it’ll bite you when it is denied

you can distract yourself
with a world full of things
but nothing but love
can play your heart strings

you can try to pretend
just living’s enough
but all you will get
is an outside that’s tough

without someone to love
you can still sing a song
but you know it is better when
someone sings along

without someone to love
you can be a success
but no matter how much you have
you’ll have less

than someone who loves
someone who loves them back
without someone to love
there’s always one thing you lack

with someone to love
nothing else matters as much
with someone to love
you understand human touch
with someone to love
all the other things are out there
with someone to love
all that matters is what you share

without someone to love
you may never understand
with someone to love
you know what is planned
wherever you land
you’ve got the whole world in your hand

someday

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that will stay
someday somebody will love me
and never go away

today i'm alone and feeling lonely
the friends i can call are not my romance
the one i want is so very unique
i hope, i live, for another chance

i've been in love so many times before
has it all been just wonderful fantasy
i always though that true love was forever
have i never found true love truthfully?

i open my heart, i open my mind
i open my doors, i try to be kind
i give everything, i start with respect
then honor, defend, value and protect

when i am in love i will do anything
for the happiness of the one i love
i would die for love i will live for love
there is nothing anywhere that's above
true love true love
true love true love

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that is true
someday somebody will love me
scooby dooby do

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that never ends
someday somebody will love me
forever best friends

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that will stay
someday somebody will love me
and never go away
never go away
never go away

fairy tale

i want to always be there for someone
someone who appreciates me
i want to give everything to someone
someone who will never leave me

i want the fairy tale
not just text and email
i want a best friend
and love without an end

i still believe in love
the kind children dream of
unconditional
true, free, and beautiful

and i believe if i can do it
someone else can do it too
so it is not impossible
it is a dream that can come true

so no one else has to believe it
to transpire it just takes two
so i need just one beside me
who believes - could it be you?

i want to always be there for someone
someone who invigorates me
i want to give everything to someone
someone who will share it all with me

i want the fairy tale
not just text and email
i want a best friend
and love without an end

and if you truly believe
it will show in your eyes
like a child knows innocence
like the sun can light the skies
there is magic in this world
if you know where to start
leave all fear and doubt behind
and trust the power of your heart
and if you truly believe
it will show in your eyes
like a child knows innocence
like the sun can light the skies

i want the fairy tale
not just text and email
i want a best friend
and love without an end

i still believe in love
the kind children dream of
unconditional
true, free, and beautiful

and i believe if i can do it
someone else can do it too
so it is not impossible
it is a dream that can come true

so no one else has to believe it
to transpire it just takes two
so i need just one beside me
who believes - could it be you?

is this a love song?

is this a love song?
is this a dream?
does anyone know what
i mean? . . .

should i dream of kissing you
should i even be missing you
when we are not even friends
is this the way a love song ends?

should i imagine holding you
should i even have told you
is this one of those stupid sins
is this the way true love begins?

in my mind there is not a shadow of a doubt
we belong together
you are what life is about
for my mind there is nothing in heaven above
only changing whether
and this dream of love
just this prayer of love
not to be missed
hopefully kissed
for i exist
only just to love
you
that’s all i want to do
love you
there is nothing more true
love you
it’s all i want to do
love you
all i want to do is be true to this dream of
loving you

now we could meet and talk and find
a different dream is on your mind
and i would have to be alone
well i can make it on my own
but not unless i give this chance
to my dream of our romance
if you want to just turn away
at least i made it clear today

that in my mind there is not a shadow of a doubt
we belong together
you are what life is about
for my mind there is nothing in heaven above
only changing whether
and this dream of love
just this prayer of love
not to be missed
hopefully kissed
for i exist
only just to love
you
that’s all i want to do
love you
there is nothing more true
love you
it’s all i want to do
love you
all i want to do is be true to this dream of
loving you

so should i imagine holding you
should i even have told you
is this one of those stupid sins
is this the way true love begins?

should i dream of kissing you
should i even be missing you
when we are not even friends
is this the way a love song ends?

dream

is it wrong to dream of kissing you
when we have never really met
i am not even sure that is a question
or just some words i will regret
should i be embarrassed to admit this out loud
ever since i saw you for the first time
i have dreamed of kissing you, am i dreaming now
or is this just a game i play in rhyme

should i let my guard down as much as i want to
should i want you as much as i do
it could hurt so much if you laughed or said no
but if i don’t ask i will never know

is it wrong to dream of kissing you
when you don’t even know who i am
i am not even sure how to reach you
so i write this lyric in the sand
and i send these words out to the world
with hope that you may find someday
for i have dreamed of kissing you, as i’m dreaming now
and it it’s just a game, let me play
in my dream we’re friends and we play

have i let my guard down a little too much
what if we were to actually touch
it could hurt so much if you laughed or said no
but if i don’t ask i will never know

is it as simple as this makes it seem
how can i be wrong in a dream?
i mean no harm, no cause for alarm
i will move on now…

an unfinished song
an unfinished dream
and if i don’t ask…
i’ll still dream

intelligent song

i want to write an intelligent song
with words that will get your attention
i want to write an intelligent song
with words that will get into your mind
i want to write an intelligent song
don't let me forget to mention
i want to write an intelligent song
the kind of song you want to find

because i want you
i want to know you
i want you to want to know me

because you thrill me
yes i said thrill me
you are my favorite fantasy

i want to allude to classic literature
because i see romance in your eyes
i want to write something meaningful
that moves your mind as much your thighs
i want to write something that saves the world
from its mediocre suicide
most of all i want to inspire you
to be all you can be
and if that includes being with me
let our stars coincide

because i want you
i want to know you
i want you to want to know me

because you thrill me
yes i said thrill me
you are my favorite fantasy

and while i would like to compare
the love we could share
with the greatest loves of all time

i want to believe even more
that no love came before
that could compare with our rhyme

because i want you
i want to know you
i want you to want to know me
completely
absolutely
and infinitely

because you thrill me
yes i said thrill me
you are my favorite fantasy
indubitably
will you be with me
in reality

because i want you
i want to know you
i want you to want to know me

because you thrill me
yes i said thrill me
literally

oh what can i say
i bow to your sway

i wanted to write an intelligent song
but all i hear is a kind of hush
all over the world
a kind of hush

i wanted to write an intelligent song
but you turn my mind to mush

the last vision


I could look into your eyes for a million lifetimes
and just begin to see the whole of you
the last vision I want my eyes to ever see
is the look on your face when you make love to me

there are no words to express how beautiful you are
in my eyes, in my mind, you define all I want to see
when my last breath comes it will breathe your name
your greatest pleasure is all I ever want to be

what some may call angels
what some may call love
what some may call heaven
there is nothing above

what some pay call perfection
what some may call the truth
what some may call their precious
I call you

my life, my death, my everything
all I will ever be
this is what I give to you
and my fantasy
my last breath will be this prayer
that you will be with me

in your eyes I see the wonder
that defines my fondest dream
in your face I see the beauty
that defines all I want to see
I will give you anything you want
to bring you to your ecstasy
and the last vision my eyes want to see
is your face as you make love to me

in your eyes I see the passion
the living breathing love so real and true
the last vision my eyes want to see
is your face when I make love to you

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

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

wrap

and if i wrap myself around you
would you melt into my soul
would you wriggle as if resisting
only to enjoy the rub

and if you wrap yourself around me
would it be losing control
would you deny conscious choices
like the ring around the tub

how many times will you turn away
from the obvious experience you deny every day
how many times will you run and hide
from the euphoric experience you can know inside
when you come inside

holy men have haunted you for years
challenging your passion and your pain
so afraid of feeling that they condemn feeling real
drinking your tears, washing your brain, killing your zeal
until you don't know how you feel or if you feel
or what is real

and if i wrap myself around you
would you understand a thing
would you play the social game boy
fingering all the right keys

and if you wrap yourself around me
would you want a wedding ring
would you place rules and conditions
on the birds and the bees

how many times will you play the fool
in the natural experience that you try to rule
how many times will you play the game
exchanging love and peace for guilt and shame
and laying the blame

on holy men ahead of you for years
feeding you false hope between their lies
so afraid of living that they fixate on despair
and death as cheers pretend the fears are all you share
until you don't know how to care or why you're here
or who cares

time enough for love
if you live so long
answers wait for you
just like this song
all you have to do
is open your mind
the truth is there
where's it's always been
while you look elsewhere
instead of within
fear has made you blind
to your own mind
no wonder you think
life is unkind

and if i wrap myself around you
what would it mean?
was it all a dream?

when nobody's looking

can you still feel your body
or have you shut it down
do you need to drink liquor
to feel out on the town
can you feel your heart beating
or are you going numb
can you still feel your body
or do you just cum?

i don't want to compromise your senses
i don't want to confuse or upset you
i don't want to trigger your defenses
but have i really met you?
has anyone met you?

do you touch yourself when nobody's looking
or have you left behind your fantasies
do you need pornographic stimulation
to remember the birds and the bees
is there a way to reach you or are you gone
i'd really like to know your heart and soul
do you let yourself go when no one's looking
or are you out of control in control

too lost in control
in a world of fear
where love is repressed
so don't get undressed
don't even come near

unless you can feel
unless you can care
unless you can trust
for trust is a must
before you can share

so many lonely people have forgotten the song in their hearts
and while that may not be the end of this life
that is where the end starts

do you feel yourself when nobody's looking
or have you lost touch with who you really are
do you need somebody to tell you
what to believe in or how to follow your star
are you just dreaming when you are sleeping
what limits do you place upon your self
do you feel yourself when nobody's looking
or are you like a book upon a shelf

i don't want to mesmerize your senses
i want you to know i won't forget you
i don't want to play with your pretenses
sot have i really met you?
has anyone met you?

are you too lost in control
in a world of fear
where love is repressed
so don't get undressed
don't even come near

unless you can feel
unless you can care
unless you can trust
for trust is a must
before you can share

so many lonely people have forgotten the song in their hearts
and while that may not be the end of this life
that is where the end starts

are you where the end starts
are you where the end starts
are you where the end starts
or are you ready to sing the song in your heart
or are you ready to share the song in your heart
i hope you can share the song in your heart

the dream

maybe there is something i can do to understand
the dissatisfaction growing in me about being human
how long denied the self-destructive egocentric way
while pretense is survival and corruption rules the day

still i want to hope
optimism
humanism

still i want to dream
and believe
in humanity

still i want to believe the dream can come true
still i want to believe in you

maybe there is something more i can do to explain
the insensitive ignorance can only lead to pain
how long repressed children taught to ignore their own senses
while life is built on wasteful greed, abuse, and pretenses

still i want to hope
anything is
possible

still i want to dream
and believe
everything can change

still i want to believe the dream can come true
still i want to believe in you

how long can you hide behind god
how long can you shirk your responsibility
how long can you live with your head in the sand
ignoring the cruelty of the way you live
would you dare compare all you take with all you give?
what would the scale tell you
if you dared to be true?

maybe there is something more i can say or do
to somehow get this message into the heart of you
where you cannot ignore the imbalance of mankind
so you cannot choose to remain deaf, dumb, and blind

and still want to hope
we will survive
humanity

we can live the dream
living in peace
human family

still i want to believe the dream can come true
still i want to believe in you

touch someone right now
open your heart
touch someone right now
let the dream start

touch someone right now
all you need to do
touch someone right now
it is up to you

touch someone right now
open your heart
touch someone right now
feel the dream start

touch someone right now
all you need to do
touch someone right now
it is up to you

touch someone right now
open your heart
touch someone right now
this is your part

touch someone right now
all you need to do
touch someone right now
it is up to you

touch someone right now
open your heart
touch someone right now
be the dream
and the dream will start

touch someone right now
all you need to do
touch someone right now
it is up to you
be the dream
and the dream will come true

give me a way

take me away from
the self-involved compassion
for my own private armada
of wounded dreams and pieces
of an age old broken heart

have I forgotten how to start
all over again
have I forgotten how to live
and make a new friend
have I forgotten how to hope
and believe in love
have I forgotten how to dream
or what I dream of

give me a reason
to come out of hibernation
in this wound-licking concerto
of superficial distraction
and creative child's play

have I forgotten what it means
to be alive
have I forgotten how to live
to live to survive
have I forgotten how important
it is to care
have I forgotten how important
it is to share

give me a way to
return to an intimacy
that reaches beyond the body
that does not fear lust
that does not fear trust

give me a way to
return to sincerity
at depths of meaningful
sharing and caring that
means something more

give me a way to
actually make a difference
in this world of plastic promises
and instant gratification
and sound bytes

give me a way to
give me a way to
give me a way to
give me away

when I should be asleep

when I should be asleep
I dream of you
when I have dates to keep
I run for you
when all the world is on their track
and they tell me I can't go back
I believe every word is true
and still I sing to you

when all the people pray
I pray to you
when all the children play
I play for you
when everything is said and done
I believe we have just begun
and every little thing I do
I still do it for you

there is no end
to a love this true
call me mad
I don't care
what the world may do

there is no end
they don't have a clue
if they think
love stops
they've never loved you

when I should be asleep
I dream of you
when I'm in too deep
I'm in it for you
when all the world calls sweet success
a way to buy their happiness
I believe every word is true
and still I sing to you

when all the people dance
I dance for you
when true lovers romance
I think of you
when everything is tried and through
I believe we are something new
and every little thing I do
I still do it for you

there is no end
to a love this true
call me mad
I don't care
what the world may do

there is no end
they don't have a clue
if they think
love stops
they've never loved you

and in the end there is no end to love in me for you
and in the end there is no end to love that is so true
and in the end there is no end to this dream of you
and in the end there is no end to everything I do
I still do it all for you
all for you
all for you

when I should be asleep
I dream of you
