Closing My Eyes
(Peter Green)
Fleetwood Mac
Then Play On

Now it's the same as before
And I'm alone again

With no sorrow for myself
And I'm blaming no one else

And closing my eyes
And seeing you standing there

Now it's the same as before
You've touched me with your love

And though you're in my heart
We're still a world apart
As now I'm back to the time
Where I would search for a dream
But no use to try anymore as before
Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

So I'm closing my eyes
To hear the people laugh

For they're all aglow
Not knowing where to go

But is it asking too much
When the question is what to do
With the life I'll have
It seems I know nothing now
Except my love for you
And the strength in my hands
To go on feeding your smile

Sentimental Lady
(Bob Welch)
Fleetwood Mac
Bare Trees

You are here and warm,
But I could look away and you'd be gone.
'Cause we live in a time,
When meaning falls in splinters from our minds.
And that's why I've travelled far,
'Cause I come so together where you are.

And all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be married
All of the things that you say are very...

Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one.
Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one.

Now you are here today,
But easily you might just slip away.
'Cause we live in a time,
When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme.
And that's why I've travelled far
'Cause I come so together where you are.

And all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be married
All of the things that you say are very...

Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one.
Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one.

You are here and warm,
But I could look away and you'd be gone.
'Cause we live in a time,
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives.
And that's why I've travelled far,
'Cause I come so together where you are.

Yes, and all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be married
All of the things that you say are very...

Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one.
Sentimental gentle wind, blowin' through my life again,
Sentimental lady, gentle one...

This poem is dedicated to the memory of the love and life of

Lake Wishes

Wishing I was with you
Walking at the lake
Holding your sweet hand in mine
Each step that we would take

Wishing I was with you
Sitting on the shore
Resting my head on your chest
For now and ever more

I wish that I was on the dock
And you were standing near
Your voice, your laugh, your very breath
It's what makes you so dear

I feel inside such awesome love
I know you hold my heart
No matter where our souls will walk
We never are apart

Still sometimes I wish for this
That with each breath I take
I could be there and holding you
And live beside the lake

Again, over and over again: With every breath I take, I long for her encouragement and laughter.

The sweet silliness of Reesey, just like the candy bar, she will forever be, My Sweet Moody Girl.

I love you, I miss you, forever and ever................
