I write them, play and sing them, and love them.

I don’t play guitar or bass as much as I used to, and hardly ever play

wind instruments or keyboards anymore, and hope to play more in the future.

I am sharing these lyrics because they are the best I have written, in one way or another.

I will add more songs soon.

 

 

Song for a Missing Soul Mate –

 

Making your dreams come true

  Can take a lot out of you.

    It’s something you just can’t do

        On your own

       It’s something that can’t be done

              All alone

 

Missing you even more.

  Night after night and the night before;

     Trying and failing to ignore

        A memory.

         Like trying to exorcise a

        Ghost in me.

 

Something you’ll never see…

   I sold my soul and bought you these

      Wishes and watched you set them free:

        You never knew

         That all they could ever hope to be

              Was meant for you.

 

 

Promises –

 

One night

        A million heartbeats ago…

Moonlight

        On a blanket of snow…

Hold tight

        No don’t you ever let go

     of those

Promises,

      Promises we made.

Promises

      You said you’d never go away;

 Something in your eyes

     Said you knew you couldn’t stay.

 

Realize –

 

When I talk to you sometimes I start out defensive, but

When it gets translated I just come off offensive. Then

When I explain you’re always so understanding.

Little things I do must make you think me demanding.

Still I’m always searching for a new way to tell you

        Please realize

             That in my eyes

        You comprise

All the things in life that make the living more easy;

Loving, laughing, singing songs, and just keeping busy.

Having dreams and waking up with someone to share them.

Turning our the lights and knowing just where and just when

Still I’m always searching for a new way to tell you

        Realize

             That in my eyes

        You comprise

Every little thing I love and most things worth liking.

When your image finds my eyes I still find it striking.

Times will come and times will go, but time still continues.

Life evolves and love involves the time since I’ve seen you.

Still I’m always searching for a new way to tell you

        Please realize

             That in my eyes

        You comprise

               Every little thing I love and most things worth liking.
