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

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

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

muse

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

just 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

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

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?

there was a time...

there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains

and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you

for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…

there was a time…

suddenly solemn
the light flickers painfully
faith stretched so thin it is invisible
how can hope remain in me

for all the broken promises
and all the betrayed trust
condemned to face the funeral
of love conquered by lust

for all the user's cruelty
and all abused by faith
i don't want to give up but i
feel time is growing late

a prophesy may come to pass
self-fulfilled by human pride
the end beckons the ignorant
in species suicide

all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned

all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
just to piss it all away

there was a time…

there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains

and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you

for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…

there was a time…

suddenly silent…

suddenly still…

suddenly sudden…

and… i… always…. will…

shhhh, you know the thrill

(it's still…
such a thrill)

. . .

all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned

all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
but fool enough to say...

i love you
one more time
before i go away

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

in love

I left my heart so long ago
in my imagination
now Deepak talks of imaginal cells
beyond human sensation
and butterflies offer a laugh
as tears drown inspiration
just because nobody near
cares

I left my hope so long ago
in my procrastination
when Gandhi talked of selfless acts
and love's emancipation
I bought into a savior's crossing
with holy proclamation
but all I found was nobody
shares

it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm

what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?

what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?

I left my dream so long ago
in tortured isolation
now Rumi talks of whirling spells
and holy copulation
and caterpillars shed a tear
for human population
a race lost in lies and despair
fears

I left my faith so long ago
in rational revelation
now holy talk of heaven and hell
is sad self-mutilation
does anyone live without fear?
in innocent elation
laughing at the masks everyone
wears

it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm

but I don't want to play that game anymore
the happy child inside wants to laugh again
trying to fit in to belong to not be alone
is a waste of time in a world of pretense

so keep your promise of tomorrow
living in your world of sorrow
as if this is not the place to be
you are wasted from the start
when fear and lies fill your heart
truth is nothing when you will not see
how can you be trusted?
when you don't take responsibility
how can you be trusted?
when you condemn your own ecstasy
how can you be trusted?
when you live for some future fantasy
how can you be trusted?
when you ignore your own reality

what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?

what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?

I don't want to be no prophet
I don't want to be no sage
I don't want to be no savior
no guru ahead of my age
I don't want to be no genius
I don't want to be above
I don't want to be no poet
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love

.

.

.

I left my love so long ago
in betrayed veneration
self-pity and apathy
replaced inclination
joined the web of wasting time
mental masturbation
acute alliteration
self-mocking frustration
synaptic undulation
irreverent aeration
human beneficiation
rhyming affectation
revered imitation
yeah
yeah
yeah

but after all is said and done
I just want some harmless fun
and to share honesty
in reality
and I just want to share
how much I can care
without fear…
and with
honest appreciation
living jubilation
pure emancipation
free invigoration
true actualization
infinite suaviation
creative inspiration
passionate exultation
and playful relaxation
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love

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

love is old, love is new

I smell in places she's yet to
let anyone else explore
as a body ages it
helps youth close the door
cultural stereotyping
or natural instinct win out
doing what I'm supposed to do
is just not what I'm about

so I'll let her love me
if that's what she wants to do
whatever anyone else believes
I'll believe her love is true
and if that makes me
an old fool or something worse
don't let it worry you
let it be my curse

and I'll tell you everything in the next verse

she is my blessing
she is my dream
she is everything
and if you don't know what I mean

you've never lived
you've never loved
and I can only
hope you do
before you reach your heaven above

or you missed the point of life
have faith in truth my friend
if you don't love like this in this life
and your god is kind
you'll get to try again

and it doesn't matter how old we are
or if we are women or men
when you find the one who is everything
you know your journey can end
you reach a place where fear of judgment no longer wins
and that, my friends, is where it all begins

so let her love you
if that's what she wants to do
whatever anyone else believes
believe her love is true
and if that makes you
an old fool or something worse
don't let it worry you
let the whole world curse

and understand the truth in the next verse

she is your blessing
she is your dream
she is everything
and if you know what I mean

you've know you've lived
you've know you've loved
and you can only
hope they do
before they reach their heaven above

or they've missed the point of life
have faith in truth my friend
if they don't love like this in this life
and their god is kind
they'll get to try again

to actualize the truth in the next verse

she is the blessing
she is the dream
she is everything
and when you know what it mean

you know you've lived
you know you've loved
and you can know you
have finally
reached your heaven above

right here, right now, in this life
have faith in truth my friend
if you love like this in this life time
you know your god is kind
and you'll get to love again
and again and again

you know your love is kind
and true
and you'll love again and again

you know your love is kind
and true
and you'll love again and again
love again and again
love will never end
if you
believe in love
and love again and again
and love again and again
and love again and again

love's song (2007)

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

if I could hold you

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...

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
