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?
once upon a time i held a pencil in my hand and scratched my heart on to paper without thinking of consequences now i hold my heart to keep it from falling apart cuz it feels like someone stuck a pencil through it who would do that...
what lessons have we learned
we know the world has turned
and days turn into nights
and then back into days
again and again
what crosses do we bear
because we want to care
in a world so full of fear
we are the fools who dare
prone in the air
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
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?
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
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
i remember a time
when the world came to rhyme
in the words in my mind
the muse was so kind
the pieces all fit
and i was part of it
the singer, the song
listening all along
i remember a time
when i'd sit in one night
and the stories were told
right up to morning light
and as if it was planned
by a masterful hand
the magic of music
lead to wonderland
and i never knew how it happened
i was just as surprised as you
and when people stood up and applauded
i stood up and applauded too
and you laughed and called me a magician
and the tears welled up in my eyes
for i knew i was just the messenger
for a muse that was so much more wise
i remember a time
when the words came to rhyme
in the world in my mind
the muse was so kind
how many times can a heart be reborn
before it is permanently torn?
how many times can hope re-raise a head
before it is permanently dead?
the dream of love seems distant now
as life rolls along
my heart may have forgotten how
to trust in love's song
a scary thought, fate worse than death
or just the way it goes
how many live this way each breath
is the answer, who knows
or who cares?
is it all as sad as it appears?
are you there?
lost somewhere in a dream on heaven's stairs?
do you remember goodness (please say you can)
do you remember kindness (brotherhood of man)\
do you remember laughing and trusting a friend
was that lost in childhood and why must it end?
how many times can a promise be broken
before a promise means nothing anymore?
how many times can faith in each other
be betrayed before it just closes the door?
on dreams of love we hold so dear
where does it all go wrong?
does the heart forget how to care
and trust in love's song?
how can we stop this living death
before it kills us all?
how do we remember how to hear
when love comes to call?
and who cares?
am I alone as it appears?
are you there?
lost somewhere in the spiritual despair?
religions show their try colors
when they try to tear each other apart
nationalistic endeavors
do more to divide than console the heart
science and social studies
prove only that there is more to know
we have lost faith where it matters
inside is where we need to go
will the hopeful bridge ever return
to this broken hearted melody?
can faith and trust be relearned
and put an end to this tragedy?
are you sitting there in your silence
asking yourself what went wrong?
what will it take to bring you back
to believe in love's song?
how many times can this song be sung
before enough people hear?
how many more leaders must be hung
before we get over our fear?
how many flags must be waved or burned
before we place value back where it belongs
how many plastic faces and glittered places
will distract you from what is wrong?
how long before gold loses it's appeal?
how long before we get back to being real
how long before you remember how it feels
to believe in love's song
of course
it had to be
look at the date
look at the time
how many years
can this go on
until I realize
how long
you've been gone
but I still dream
and I still hope
call me a fool
call me a dope
and I get high
on dreams of love
it is not you
I'm dreaming of
but I remember
being with you
and feeling love
so real and true
and nothing since
has been so right
so I'm alone
in bed at night
how many years
can this go on
until I realize
how long
you've been gone
but I still dream
and I still feel
there is one love
so true and real
and I believe
dreams still come true
so here's a song
written for you
of course
it had to be
look at the date
look at the time
how many years?
eternity
for that is what
love means to me
and maybe another time we'll hear the music
and maybe another time we'll write a song
and maybe another time we'll find what we're looking for
has been right here beside us all along
and maybe another time we'll fall in love
and maybe another time we'll share all we're dreaming of
and maybe another time we'll let all our secrets out
and maybe another time is what we're all about
another time, another place, another rhyme across your face
another smiles, another tears, another chance just disappears
another time, another story, another way to give into fear
as if the risk of rejection is worse than the loneliness
of all these wasted years
maybe we'll continue another time
and maybe another time
will appear
and we'll be here
and we'll be here
and we'll be here...
