Not This Time

You didn't think I saw
Or perhaps, you just didn't think I'd care
Well, I do, and this time I won't stand idly by
I've watched you go through life taking what you wanted
Using people as if they were pawns
In the game of life only to further your cause
And I've never done a thing to stop you
But I won't let you do this
Not this time, not to her
She's that rarest of creatures...a pure soul
And I won't let you corrupt her
I won't let you disillusion her
So seek elsewhere for your prey
For I will not let you have this one

I'll Be Back

I hate to leave you
But I have to go
I'd stay if I could
I want you to know
That this time with you
Is precious to me
I'll be back as soon
As I can get free
But there are some things
That I have to do
And I can't return
Until I am through
Now, don't be alarmed
My heart isn't bound
It belongs to you
And this love we've found
But still, there are things
That I'm obliged to
I can't simply leave
But don't you be blue
I'll tie up loose ends
As fast as I can
Then I will return
And not leave again

In The Arms Of An Angel

In the arms of an angel
I sleep through the night
Held in love's embrace
My dreams are things of beauty
My soul is at peace
Insulated from all the cares of the world
I float through slumber's realm
And as the sun makes its appearance
I awake with a feeling of serenity
And the faint sound of ascending angel's wings
Knowing that with the coming of night
I will once again sleep in my angel's arms
