SHADOWS

YOU REMIND ME OF THE SHADOWS
THAT COME WALKING IN MY DREAMS
WHERE THE NIGHT TIME DOSEN'T MATTER
YOU'RE MY SWEETHEART THERE IT SEEMS

THERE YOUR TENDER LIPS THEY KISS ME
WHILE IN SHADOWS I BEHOLD
THE SHADOWS OF YOUR BEAUTY WITH ME
WHILE YOU IN MY ARMS I HOLD

WHEN THE TWILITE SHADOWS DEEPEN
AND THE WORLD SEEMS DARK AND COLD
IN MY DREAMS YOU'LL COME WALKING
AND YOU'LL WARM MY HEART AND SOUL

IN THE MORNING I'LL WAKE
AND WHEN DAYLIGHT BREAKS THE DAWN
I'LL LOOK BACK INTO MY DREAM WORLD
BUT YOUR SHADOW WILL BE GONE

BOAST OF RICHES

SOME MEN BOAST OF RICHES
AND TREASURES THAT THEY HOLD
BUT THE LIVE I HAVE WITH YOU
IS MORE THAN ALL THEIR GOLD

I CAN FEEL YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
I CAN TASTE YOUR TENDER KISS
AND THERE AINT NO RICH MAN'S DOLLAR
THAT CAN MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THIS

WHILE THEY BOAST OF THEIR MONEY
GOLD AND SILVER STACKED UP HIGH
ALL THE COINS OF GOLD AND SILVER
CANNOT TWINKLE LIKE YOUR EYES

THEY CAN BOAST OF WHAT THEY'RE BUYING
SPENDING MONEY LEFT AND RIGHT
BUT WHAT IS IT IF YOU'RE CRYING
THROUGH A LONG AND LONELY NIGHT

I LOVE WHAT WE HAVE TOGEATHER
AND HOW HUMBLE IT SHOULD BE
JUST TO LIVE AND LOVE FOREVER
YES FOREVER YOU AND ME

THE POET

OH THE POET'S LIFE IS SIMPLE
AND HIS FEELINGS NO ONE KNOWS
HE TAKES THE WORDS OF DAILY LIVING
TURNS THEM EACH INTO A ROSE

THERE ARE WORDS OF FALSE LOVERS
THAT CAN TEAR YOUR WORLD APART
BUT THE POET LIKE NO OTHER
CAN SOOTHE AWAY A BROKEN HEART

YOU MIGHT SAY HE'S JUST A LONER
OR IT'S BECAUSE HE'S ALL ALONE
YET THERE'S MORE LOVE IN ONE POEM
THAN WHAT YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN

YES THE POET FEELS YOUR SORROWS
CRYS YOUR TEAR DROPS FROM HIS EYES
HE CAN FEEL YOUR HEART A-BREAKING
FEELING HOW YOU FEEL INSIDE

IN WARM ARMS HE WILL HOLD YOU
GREET YOU WITH A TENDER KISS
WHEN NO OTHER SEEMS TO WANT YOU
HE'LL LOVE YOU WITH TENDERNESS

WHEN IN DAYTIME YOU ARE LONELY
AND YOUR NIGHTS THEY SEEM SO BLUE
FIND YOURSELF A SWEETHEART POET
HE'LL WRITE SWEETHEART POEMS TO YOU.
