Oh, my love
My sweet obsession
How I yearn for your light touch
Oh, my soul
My sweet possession
Never dared to love this much
First you came
You smiled so sweetly
My poor heart was all undone
How could I
Stand by so meekly
Knew from the start you were the one
When I was
Alone and lonely
Hopelessness within me churned
Now it's you
I long for only
You arrived and hope returned
Years have passed
We're still together
Life and love now intertwined
If I thought you'd leave me ever
I fear I would lose my mind

No Tears
There were no tears
When he died
Not from me
Not for him
I cried
They thought I cried
Bitter tears
That's not true
Not then
Not for years
There was nothing
When he died
Not for me
But for them
I cried
When he died
Not from me
Not for him
I cried
They thought I cried
Bitter tears
That's not true
Not then
Not for years
There was nothing
When he died
Not for me
But for them
I cried
Glory Days
Days of longing, quiet laughter
Smiling through a summer haze
Hold you to me, gentle pleasure
Hold you to me, gentle pleasure
These will be our glory days
Sharing languid nights together
Sharing languid nights together
Like fine wine is loves sweet praise
Lying in your embrace after
Such will be our glory days
Lying in your embrace after
Such will be our glory days
Such Gifts
Such gifts are ours to treasure
The joy of simple things
The many friends along the way
The comfort loving brings
The drumbeat of a summer storm
The air after the rain
The purest blue of clearing skies
The sunlight back again
Evenings spent in reverie
The clarity it brings
Take the time to look around
And love the simple things
The joy of simple things
The many friends along the way
The comfort loving brings
The drumbeat of a summer storm
The air after the rain
The purest blue of clearing skies
The sunlight back again
Evenings spent in reverie
The clarity it brings
Take the time to look around
And love the simple things

Unraveling
What do you want from me
Do you feel our connection
Tenuous as a thread
Stretched beyond limit
Tensions mounting
Do you feel our chances
Slipping away
Leaving us grasping
For things to say
On safer ground
What do you want from me
Is what we have enough for you
Our polite hello's
Whispered
While balancing on eggshells
As the hurdles become
Insurmountable
Impossible
This isn't what I pictured
The bond we shared was unbreakable
Or so I thought
Now everything is unravelling
Under the weight of things
Left unsaid
Trust lost
Hearts Broken
Connection unravelling
Do you feel our connection
Tenuous as a thread
Stretched beyond limit
Tensions mounting
Do you feel our chances
Slipping away
Leaving us grasping
For things to say
On safer ground
What do you want from me
Is what we have enough for you
Our polite hello's
Whispered
While balancing on eggshells
As the hurdles become
Insurmountable
Impossible
This isn't what I pictured
The bond we shared was unbreakable
Or so I thought
Now everything is unravelling
Under the weight of things
Left unsaid
Trust lost
Hearts Broken
Connection unravelling
Possibilities
I dwell in possibilities
No limits I'll put on my days
I'll chance the inconsistencies
I'll dance with probabilities
And dawn will find me lifted up
For darkness never stays
For when my life has run its course
And life will have its way
I'll gather up life's treasured hours
I'll know that fear has lost its powers
For never did I spare a glance
At those who never took a chance
On all the possibilities
No limits I'll put on my days
I'll chance the inconsistencies
I'll dance with probabilities
And dawn will find me lifted up
For darkness never stays
For when my life has run its course
And life will have its way
I'll gather up life's treasured hours
I'll know that fear has lost its powers
For never did I spare a glance
At those who never took a chance
On all the possibilities
You and I
You
Who held me as a child
Who loved me for myself
Who gave without regret
Are irreplaceable
I
Who always needed help
Who wanted to be free
Who acted self-assured
Am inconsolable
You
Who taught me how to laugh
Who sang the lullabies
Who kissed away my tears
Are unforgettable
I
Will love you all my life
Will cherish all our days
Will carry on this life
And miss you all my years
Who held me as a child
Who loved me for myself
Who gave without regret
Are irreplaceable
I
Who always needed help
Who wanted to be free
Who acted self-assured
Am inconsolable
You
Who taught me how to laugh
Who sang the lullabies
Who kissed away my tears
Are unforgettable
I
Will love you all my life
Will cherish all our days
Will carry on this life
And miss you all my years
