ONLY WINDOW DRESSING

 

Lovely as you are,

Beauty is only window dressing,

Beauty lies within

FILL ME UP

 

Without you in my life

My cup is an empty whim

Your love nourishes and fills

Me right up to the brim

PERFECT CLARITY

 

True beauty will only shine

With perfect clarity from

A heart full of kindness

MONOCHROME WORLD

 

Without you today

Everything is grey, your love

Coloured all my world

JUST ONE SIGHT

 

Just one sight is all

It takes and I can't sleep,

For dreaming of you

I’LL KEEP A CANDLE BURNING

 

I’ll keep a candle burning

In the porch window

I’ll keep it burning there

Through wind and rain and snow

I’ll keep it burning brightly

Just to let you know

That I still love you baby

And I don’t want to let you go

WHY DO I LOVE YOU HON? # 3

 

Why do I love you hon?

Because you feel fortunate

That I’m in love with you

WHY DO I LOVE YOU HON? # 2

 

Why do I love you hon?

I love you most because you

Don’t realize why I do

WHY DO I LOVE YOU HON? # 1

 

Why do I love you hon?

Because you don’t know the answer

To your own question

I WHISPERED

 

I whispered those three

Words to you and you replied,

But I love you more

A TANGLED WEB

 

A tangled web of

Lies, woven of jelous spite

Brought you solitude

STUDY BUDDY

 

She was just my study buddy

She wasn’t anything to me

She just agreed to help me out

With physics and chemistry

 

She was just my study buddy

She wasn’t interesting to me

But I’m not sure how it happened

But now were doing biology

CAUGHT IN THE SHADOWS

 

Caught in the shadows, tears,

My only true companion, trapped

In abject despair

IT ONLY TOOK

 

It only took a kiss and a smile

A slow walk down the aisle

And you changed my life

When you became my wife

I WILL ONLY GIVE MY LOVE

 

I will only give my love

To someone deserving, who

Will know its true value

YOU ARE THE BEAUTY

 

You are the beauty,

The reason for my infatuation,

And my existence

FALLING TOO EASILY

 

Falling too easily

Brings you only heartbreak

And bitter tears in the end

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (3)

 

From Scotland’s stormy western isles

To the land of the rising sun

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

Because for me you’re the only one

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (4)

 

From the Bell Rock Light House

And the North Sea swells

To the Newfoundland grand banks

Were the hardy seamen dwell

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

Because you’re my special mademoiselle

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (5)

 

I have stood in view of the Mongolian steppes

I have stood upon the Pacific Ocean shore

I have stood on Virginias Blue Ridge Mountains

I have looked from Cape St Vincent in awe

I have seen many things in my long life

It is my plan to live to see many more

But I know I will never see more beauty

Now I stand beside you of that I’m sure
