i miss music...
i miss hugs...
i miss loving...
cupid shrugs...

don't. tell. me. - everybody's lonely
loneliness is just what life is about
i. don't. want. - to believe life is only
wandering around ignoring the sound of the heart
that is how madness must start

i miss passion...
i miss hugs...
i miss romance...
cupid shrugs...

don't. tell. me. - everybody's lonely
loneliness is just what life is about
i. don't. want. - to believe life is only
pain and challenge and fear and worry until we die
that has got to be a lie

i miss trusting...
i miss hugs...
i miss lusting...
cupid shrugs...

every one has a dream
even if they forgot where they left it
every one wants to be part of a team
even if they gave up on themselves
every one needs to love
even if they stopped listening to their heart
every one wants peace and happiness
even if they are lost in fear
even if they are lost in doubt
even id they ave uo on themselves
to follow some storybooks on shelves

i miss having a best friend...
i miss hugs...
i miss knowing love never ends...
cupid shrugs...

i miss falling in love...
i miss hugs...
i miss being in love...
cupid shrugs...

someone to love me

however this sounds, it is still true
and if you understand, i am looking for you

i never met anyone as happy as i am
i never met anyone who would truly understand
within your mind are the keys to make life a wonderland
you've truly got the whole world in your hands
when you realize you are at your command

i never met anyone as giving as i give
i never met anyone who understood how i live
without the fears of losing everything you your eyes can see
that you are truly free to be as free
as you want to be

and you don't have to imagine no possessions
and you don't have to imagine love or peace
and you don't have to imagine sharing all the world
you just have to do it
and you know you can do it
when you understand that you are truly free
to be as free
as you want to be

i never met anyone as easy as i can be
i never met anyone who lives as honestly
without the walls that come from feeding insecurity
there is no need to lies or to pretend
all that's left to do is be a friend

i never met someone who loves the way i love
though fairy tales suppose it is the way we all dream of
as unconditional and true - real and secure, and free
as perfect intentions can make it be
as fantasy becomes reality

and you don't have to imagine no possessions
and you don't have to imagine love or peace
and you don't have to imagine sharing all the world
you just have to do it
and you know you can do it
when you understand that you are truly free
to be as free
as you want to be

however this sounds, it is still true
and if you understand, i am looking for you
someone to love, someone who is free
someone who understands how to love completely honestly
someone who understands how can make love be
someone to love, someone to love me
i just want
someone to love, someone to love me
someone to love, someone to love me
someone to love, someone to love me

you can have everything else in this world
i just want one thing
someone to love, someone to love me
someone to love, someone to love me
someone to love, someone to love me

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

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

love is real

life leads here and there and before we know it
things we meant to do were never done
we can feel so much inside and forget to show it
so busy working hard to survive
or working harder to make life fun

people we meet become part of our lives in moments
some pass through and some remain alive inside
sometimes someone matter a lot more than we notice
as we get caught up in life's roller coaster ride
some things hide
but some things cannot be denied

no matter what happens in life
whether it's bliss or strife
no matter where you go or what you do
i still care about you
and even if we fade away
to distant memories of yesterday
what matter is what the heart wants to do
my heart cares about you
so no matter how alone you feel
if you remember love is real
you'll know someone you once knew
still cares about you

so yeah, it has been years and but who is counting
all the things we meant to do we never got done
as time passes in this life and pressures start mounting
so busy working hard to survive
working even harder to make life fun

people we meet become part of our lives in moments
some pass through and some remain alive inside
sometimes someone matter a lot more than we notice
as we get caught up in life's roller coaster ride
some things hide
but some things cannot be denied

no matter what happens in life
whether it's bliss or strife
no matter where you go or what you do
i still care about you
and even if we fade away
to distant memories of yesterday
what matter is what the heart wants to do
my heart cares about you
so no matter how alone you feel
if you remember love is real
you'll know someone you once knew
still cares about you

it might seem to come out of the blue
but i've come to do something i've meant to do
every year
even though
this message might not always get through
even when we are not sharing
i hope you know i'm always carng
as sure as one and one will always equal two
as long as i'm alive i care about you
and today i still say
happy birthday pj
every year
even though
this message might not always get through
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear pj
happy birthday to you

did you forget?

when this all began
there was so much more emotion
from pleasure to pain
and there was so much more hope
running through my veins
so much more devotion to the dream
but nowadays it seems
there is just a blank stare
and i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did you forget how to care?

when this all began
there was so much more to be said
fantasy and confusion
exploding from my head
was it all illusion
just so much delusion i believed
lies my senses received
as if truth was really there
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did i forget how to be aware?

there was a time when the meaning of life
could be summed up in these simple words
falling in love and being in love
everything else was window dressing
now i am not sure why i am alive
are my memories all for the birds
is falling in love and being in love
replaced by some holy confessing

what has really gone wrong
did fear replace love
in my love song?

did i dream when all this began
or was it erased by some master plan
have i gone insane
lost part of my brain
why do i carry on
when all that is left is wondering
what is gone

when this all began
there was so much more here there and everywhere
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did we forget how to share?
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did we forget how to care?

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

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
