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
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
there was a time
not long ago
less than ten years
the words would flow
so full of hope
and dreams of love
the first promise
the memory of
the first passion
the innocence
the magic moment
the great suspence
the beautiful
innocent lust
unconditional
love and trust
there was a time
the rhymes would flow
three four a day
creative glow
the mind would dream
the heart would speak
the spirit flew
above the peak
of every love
that came before
whatever was
that one was more
and she gave herself to me instinctively
and she gave her love to me innocently
and she gave her heart and soul and more
like no one ever gave before
the greatest dream ever dreamed
the greatest love ever loved
the greatest trust ever trusted
the greatest belief ever believed
the greatest greatest great
well, this was more
there was a time
when everything
was in her eyes
and the passion
between her thighs
was sudden bliss
and i was lost
within her kiss
and in her arms
and i could die
oh i could die
i could die
happily
but i would live
forever
and a day
just for one more moment
that she'd love me
just for each moment
she'd love me
there was a time
decades ago
when words would rhyme
and love would flow
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)
would you melt into my soul
would you give up all control
would you let go of all fear
would you share being here
without restrictions
without inhibitions
without hestitations
without complications
just let the moment embrace us
and experience everything
let no walls come between us
let our heartbeats sing
i remember
how it can feel
when love is real
and everything is shared
i remember
how it can be
when love is free
when everybody cared
i remember
how hope would rise
open our eyes
and let us believe in love
i remember
how it can be here
when we conquer fear
we can rise above
and we don't need to dream of a heaven
for we can make heaven on earth
if we just let go...
if we just let go...
will you just let go...
let go...
would you melt into my soul
would you give up all control
would you let go of all fear
would you share being here
without restrictions
without inhibitions
without hestitations
without complications
just let the moment embrace us
and experience everything
let no walls come between us
let our heartbeats sing
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
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
if I could hold you
you could feel my heart melting
tears of joy comes with the healing
years of loneliness could end
if you would hold me
you could know my heart's passion
love could come back into fashion
remember your childhood best friend
that is the feeling I know
when I dream about you
the feeling would show
I can't live without you
the answer would blow
in the wind like it was foretold
in your arms my heart
would come in from the cold
if I could hold you
you could feel my hunger for you
know just how much I adore you
you are my fantasy
if you would hold me
you could feel I would die for you
how I would give my life to you
everything I'll ever be
this is the feeling I feel
when I think about you
feeling I want to make real
feeling I can't live without you
the answer would show
in the stars as you shine in my eyes
in your arms my heart
would feel so wise
the magic most people call the heavens
the wonderlust most would call youth
the devotion most people give to gods
the bliss of believing in a truth
the treasure at the end of a rainbow
the will to die for a love so true
the hope we call innocence within a child
I feel all this and more with you
if I could hold you...
