the one who's right for me

there is an empty space beside me
waiting for someone who wants me
the friend who understands me
the lover who commands me

there is an empty space inside me
waiting for the partner for me
the one who cares about me
who shares everything

and life goes on from day to day
i run and laugh and work and play
and give my wealth and self away
cuz that's what makes me happy

but always there's a missing piece
that leaves this life incomplete
someone to share everything
and that is why i sing

love is my pot of gold
my ultimate goal
is to share everything
with someone who wants me

love is the mountain top
and i will never stop
until i find the one who knows
this is true

the door remains open
as i enjoy each moment
the hope remains a beacon
for anyone to see

as i love the joy of giving
and all the pleasure of living
i will never stop seeking
the one who's right for me

through all the ups and down
i remain a hopeful romantic
the empty space awaits
the one who's right for me

the best choice

when past and present merge into a revelation
there may be no more euphoric sensation
and going forward becomes so much more inviting
when truth opens the door to life it's so exciting
and this is why i keep writing

...
sitting home alone saving some money
finding the internet both sad and funny
hoping to find some friends who understand
why i resist the the success in this land

politics, religion, and economic wealth
are power trips i don't want for myself
distractions from what matters most in life
sharing love with a partner husband or wife

money does not matter in true love
power trips only get in the way
gender does not matter in true love
all divisive games that people play
when they're afraid of trust and love
all i want in life is trust and love
all i want in life is true love
all i want in life is true love

can you still trust unconditionally
as you did when you were born?
i am looking for someone who still can

can you give your heart completely
as you did before it broke?
it is possible if you understand

power does not matter in true love
trying to control just gets in the way
freedom is the essence of true love
trust above all else, come what may
and fear is the enermy to overcome
along with the pain that makes you numb
don't let your heart turn blind deaf and dumb
let true love be your primary drum

you can still trust unconditionally
as you did when you were born
if you let go of the fear and see the pain

as proof that you can give your heart completely
and realize there is no better choice
but to do it all over again
you can start all over again

just let go of all fear
give in to your heart
it only wants to care
it has from the start
accept that the best choice
is to risk it all again
and you will find true love
like rainbows find the rain

just realize there is no better choice
but to do it all over again
and you can start all over again
yes you can start all over again
just do it and start all over again

don't die alone

i've got nobody that i can lean on
nobody to say hello to when i wake
nobody to say goo night to at the end of the day
nobody to talk to when i've got something to say
nobody around for me
nobody around for me

...
are you reaching a point in your life
where you are left alone too long
no family left, and friends have their own
lives and loves to keep them strong

and you just don't fit in anywhere anymore
maybe you never really did
as you start singing the end of your song
there's nobody listening

don't die alone
you can still reach out
and trust someone
in spite of all the doubt

it may seem hard
to still believe in love
but if you do
your heart will rise above

the pain and fear
will quickly melt away
with just one touch
your song will start to play

and suddenly
the loneliness will end
and there will be
your new best friend

when you think you have nothing to offer
when you are feeling down and out
lost your job and family gone
and fear doubles down on doubt

when all you want to do is scream or die
but you don't feel the strength to shout
just extend a helping hand
to know what life's about

don't be alone
you can still reach out
and trust someone
in spite of all the doubt

it may seem hard
to still believe in love
but if you do
your heart will rise above

the pain and fear
will quickly melt away
with just one touch
your song will start to play

and suddenly
the loneliness will end
and there will be
your new best friend

don't die alone
don't give up on yourself
your dreams are not
just books on a shelf

extend your hand
and look in someone's eyes
what you will find
may come as a surprise

the pain and fear
will quickly melt away
with just one touch
your song will start to play

and suddenly
the loneliness will end
and there will be
your new best friend

the definition of delight

left to my own devices
whatever that phrase may mean
i would not sleep much at night
i'd make love till morning light
to one who makes everything right
never out of mind when out of sight
the definition of delight

what matters most in this world
is finding someone who puts you first
always who wants to be the one
who will do anything to quench your thirst

there are those who say love is illusion
a fantasy that we pretend is real
but then is god another delusion?
can you tell me how you really feel?

if you've never known belief or faith
in a power above any power above
then you won't understand this simple truth
no wealth can compare with true love

given the freedom to choose anything
i would choose to crown true love my king
and live for the song that true hearts sing
and the bliss that sharing trust can bring
knowing the most important thing there is to know
unconditional trust is everything

and when i am alone
up or down, but on my own
consistently my life has shown
this truth i've always known
even when i am alone

i still would not sleep much at night
i would pour my love into words i write
dreaming wide awake till the morning light
of sharing true love as a heart takes flight
knowing unconditional trust makes everything right
it's the definition of delight
the definition of delight
