For Robert...
"At last...my love has come along,
My lonely days are over
And Life is like a song!

At last...the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you.

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my check to
A thrill that I..have never never known.

Oh..you smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven...oh yea
And you are mine...at last..

How Do You Talk To An Angel - Heights

I hear a voice in my mind
I know her face by heart
heaven and earth are moving in my soul
I don't know where to start
tell me, tell me, the words to define
the way I feel about someone so fine
how do you talk to an angel
how do you hold her close to where you are
how do you talk to an angel
it's like trying to catch a falling star
at night i dream that she is there
and I can feel her in the air
tell me, tell me, the words to define
the way I feel about someone so fine
how do you talk to an angel
how do you hold her close to where you are
how do you talk to an angel
it's like trying to catch a falling star
how do you talk to an angel
how do you hold her close to where you are
how do you talk to an angel
it's like trying to catch a falling star
how do you talk to an angel
how do you hold her close to where you are
how do you talk to an angel
it's like trying to catch a falling star
yeah, yeah

I`m not a poet or songwriter. So I would like to dedicate the long version of Zeppelins Whole Lotta Love (24 minute version from how the west was won) to everyone that visits this chat room Thank you

to My Wonderful Crush

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, we've got a groovy kind of love

Any time you want to, you can turn me on to
Anything you want to, any time at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, we've got a groovy kind of love, oho

(Solo)

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don't care

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, we've got a groovy kind of love
We've got a groovy kind of love, we've got a groovy kind of love
Oho, we've got a groovy kind of love

Don Mclean Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

Brandy Put That On Everything

(Chorus:)
If you're looking to find
A love that will stand 'til the end of time
Baby, relax your mind
My love is here, yeah
I'll do anything, I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt, you won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing
I put that on ev'rything, put that on ev'rything

I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes, I would
To the edge of the earth I'll go to see you
Yes, it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think one thought of love
And I'll be there, oh baby

(Repeat chorus)

Before I dream, I lay and think of you
Ev'ry night
Honest to God, I'm telling you the truth
Oh, yeah
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much more
Each day

(Bridge:)
I'll walk for you through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountain's highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea, oh
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try to do the impossible things
I put that on ev'rything

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat bridge)

(Repeat chorus twice)

Patience

(1..2...1,2,3,4)
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah

Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....

Dead - They Might Be Giants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1qU-q7IZ4

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

I will never say the word
"Procrastinate" again; I'll never
See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize for
When I was eight and I made my younger brother
Have to be my personal slave

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

(So) So I won't
(Sit) sit at home
(And) anymore
(And) and you won't
(And) see my head in
(And) the window
(And) and I won't
(And) be around
(And) ever anymore
(And) and I'll be up there on the wall at the store

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Atlantic Starr - All in the name of love

CHORUS
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful

We don’t even act like strangers
Seems we’ve been knowing each other for a long time
And every time that we’ve seen each other
We’ve come up with some reason to stay apart

But baby, love is in your eyes
Baby, let’s make the compromise

CODA (next 3 par.)
I’ll be your cover, in the wintertime
Any reason, any season
I’ll be satisfied
Long as I’m here with you

You’ll be my cool in the summertime
Any reason, any season
You’re always on my side
Whatever I’m into

Can’t you feel the magnetism
Growing stronger and stronger
So why don’t we do it all

CHORUS

There aint no doubt about this feeling
Yeah, it’s obvious my search will end with you
And I can tell by your facial expression
That you have the same attraction for me too

But baby, common lets take the ride
We’re destined, straight for paradise

CODA

CHORUS
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful (oh)
All in the name of love (all in the name of love between me and you)
All in the name of something beautiful (all about, all about something beautiful)

All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful

You and me, we’re overdue, for getting together baby
It always seemed our love was meant to be

(Hey) All in the name of love
(You and me, we’ve always had that strong attraction
You can’t keep a lock on love, cuz I’ve got the keys)
All in the name of something beautiful
(Hey) All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful

Brian McKnight
"Anytime"


I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now more and more I wonder where you are

Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
I miss you

Still have your picture in the frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice driving me insane
How I wish that you would call to say

Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
I miss you, I miss you

No more loneliness and heartache
No more crying myself to sleep
No more wondering about tomorrow

Won't you come back to me?
Come back to me
Oh, ho, oh

Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind - anytime?
I miss you

For You

THAT'S WHEN I LOVE YOU by Aslyn

When you have to look away
When you dont have much to say
Thats when I love you
I love you, just that way
To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
Thats when I love you
I love you, endlessly
And when your mad cuz you lost a game
Forget Im waiting in the rain
Baby i love you,
I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
WhenI love you no matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
Thats when I love you
I love you a little more each time
And when you cant quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
Thats when I love you
I love you, more than youll know
And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when you show up late
Baby I love you, I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
Thats when I love you
When nothing baby
Nothing can make you change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
No matter what

The Luckiest by Ben Folds

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

to all the people trying to change me

"Photograph"

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

This is for my ex-girlfriend.We've been apart for a long time now and I'm FINALLY realizing that it's for the best.Doing much better now but not very confident in finding someone else.

DAUGHTRY

"Over You"

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

After a few failed relationships down through the years and a lot of wasted time,this is what I think about love.

Quiet Riot
"Loves A *****"

Loves got me by the ass again
I've been in love since I don't know when
I keep a-runnin' and I don't know why
Love's givin' me a crock of lies
Out of breath and I'm out of time
Misery is a ruff fight

Love's a *****, baby
Love's a *****, yes it's crazy
Love's a *****, baby
Love's a *****, yeah it's crazy
Love's a *****!

Like a cat with diamond eyes
Love's power it can hypnotize
Done me in (ha)
More than twice
She'll make you think that it's over night
Your all alone in a room that's wrong
Your body shakes
Your feet are cold

Love's a *****, baby
Love's a *****, yeah it's crazy
Love's a *****, baby
Love's a *****, yes it's crazy
Love's a *****! (whoa, ooh ooh, yes it is)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Such a ***** (oh)

Don't you wait, don't stand still
Gotta keepa movin' or you'll pay the bill
Go by car, go by train
You gotta keepa runnin' or you'll feel the pain
Keepa runnin', keepa runnin'

Love's a *****, baby
Love's a *****, yes it's crazy
Love's a *****, *****, *****, baby
Love's a *****, it's crazy
Love's a *****! (NO!)
It's a *****!!!!

This song is for my hometown in Southwest VA.Not far from Kenny Chesney's hometown in TN.I hope it's where I'll be when it's said and done.It's exactly the same as what the words in the song explains.


Kenny Chesney
"Back Where I Come From"

In the town where I was raised
the clock ticks and the cattle graze
time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where I come from
now you can lie on a riverbank
paint your name on a watertank
or miss count all teh beers you drank
back where I come from

Chorus
Back where I come from
where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
back where I come from

We learned in Sunday school
just who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine too
back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
tan legs in the bright day light
tv's they were black and white
back where I come from

Bridge
Some say it's a backwards place
Narrow minds on a narrow way
I make it a point to say
That that's where I come from

Chrous (2)
That's where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Back where I come from
I'm and ole Tennessee 'un
I'm proud as anyone
that's where I come from

that's where I come from...........
that's where I come from.......

35 years later, and this tune still does it for me...so, for any who feel like I do, this is for you..(i find a "certain significance" in relation to world events)

CLOSE TO THE EDGE
Song words: Anderson-Howe
Arrangement-YES


THE SOLID TIME OF CHANGE

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of
your disgrace
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace
And achieve it all with music that came quickly
from afar
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against
the hour.

And assessing points to nowhere, leading every
single one
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
and take away the plain in which we move and choose
the course you're running.

Down at the edge, round by the corner
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away

Crossed a line around the changes of the summer,
Reaching out to call the colour of the sky.
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster
than we see.
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
Leaving all the changes far from far behind
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.

Down at the end, round by the corner.
Close to the edge, just by the river.
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
Now that it's all over and done,
now that you find, now that you're whole.

TOTAL MASS RETAIN

My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon
attained with love.
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna
from above.
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.

Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all
to see,
as armoured movers took approach
to overlook the sea.
There since the cord, the liscense, or the reasons we
understood will be.

Down at the end, close by a river,
Close to the edge, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by the corner,
Down at the edge, round by the river.

Sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory.
All in all the journey takes you all the way.
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen
and known.
Guessing problems only to decieve the mention,
passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
As we cross from side to side
we hear the total mass retain.
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Close to the end, down by a river.
Seasons will pass you by,
I get up, I get down.

I GET UP, I GET DOWN

In her white lace
You can clearly see the lady sadly looking
Saying that she'd take the blame
for the crucifixion of her domain

I get up I get down
I get up I get down
Two million people barely satisfy
Two hundred women watch one woman cry too late
The eyes of honesty can achieve
How many millions do we decieve
each day
I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me
Do I look blindly and say I see the way
The truth is written all along the page
How old will I be before I come of age
for you
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down

Seasons of man

The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man so it
se4ems
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge
of love.
As song and chance develop time,
lost social temperance rules above.

Then according to the man who showed his
outstretched arm to space
He turned around and pointed revealing all the
human race
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing
all about the place

On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley
Called to witness cycles only of the past
And we reach all this with movements in between the
said remark
Close to the edge, down by the river,
Down at the end, round by the corner,
Seasons will pass you by
Now that it's all over and done
called to the seed, right to the sun
Now that you find, now that you're whole
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

Journey

Faithfully

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
Youre on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Aint no place to start a family
Right down the line
Its been you and me
And lovin a music man
Aint always what its supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart aint easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, Im still yours
Im forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully

All My Life


Am i really here in your arms
Its just like i dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one i can see

Hey, I've looked all my life for you

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you

I never thought i could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave

And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life

And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
