Sunset On The River
Sunset On The River
Sunset on the river
I ate salad and enjoyed the view
Of soft summer breezes
And my conversations with you
Tomorrow will be sunny
With temperatures that delight
In the evening we'll dine on our deck
And welcome in the night
Sunset on the river
Makes the end of a hot day seem fine
Especially knowing that tonight
We'll sleep with our arms entwined

My Valentine
My Valentine
Your eyes are like the shining stars,
And your hair's so very fine.
Your lips are sweet as Honeycomb,
You are my Valentine.
You're thoughtful in so many ways,
Your face is sunshine
You're a 'Precious Angel' to me,
You are my Valentine.
My love for you grows every day,
I'm so glad you're mine.
I thank God in Heaven each day,
That You are my Valentine

Dance Into The Night
Dance Into The Night
Dance into the night
Fulfull your dreams
And delights
Become one with the stars
And shine for all eternity
Move like the wind
Swift and pure
Into the night
Become your dream
And light
Acknowledge yourself
And move with your own will
Shine without conflicts
Shine for all to see
Do what you will

High School Love
High School Love
I was a lot of things wrong, that was true
But, not the unconditional love I offered you
I was the luckiest boy in the world
I enjoyed the company of one beautiful girl
A sad day, for me, was graduation you see
I had no where to go, no place to be
I joined the Navy to see the world
And lost he love of that wonderful girl
She was my first real love, something deep in my heart
I knew that I loved her, right from the start
The Navy took it's toll, on me, in oh so many ways
But nothing to compare with the love, that I lost that day

Moonlite
MOONLIGHT
Moonlight on the water
Dancing across the waves
A coy dog's plaintive cry
Echoes above the billowing haze
Gazing at the scene there
A camper stops to smile
At a glistening ripple
And watches for awhile
Upon the rivers surface
The muskrats play around
Up and down the river's length
They never make a sound
But, here I am on the shoreline
And all that I wish to see
Is the strength of the the arms I long for

Dispair
Despair
I sit home sad and not the same,
Crying for hours holding in all the pain.
How you can sit and pretend everything's OK,
Moving on, day by day.
So as I carry my silent guilt,
Wondering if my life can be rebuilt.
The tears I weep when alone,
Behind my wall that has grown.
Reflects the pain that tortures me,
Until I feel to the lowest degree.
The deepest scars of my life inflicted with such pain,
Of the betrayal that prevents me from being whole again.
The trust that once was broken, can it ever be repaired?
To free me from the darkest hours of my silent despair.

Sensual Sea
Sensual Sea
I have spent some time over the sensual sea
No longer there still I hear, ' come flow with me '
Leaving a pier at dark sailing into the night
On and on we sail under the magic of moonlight
I feel that in another life I was one with the sea
Meant to be on a tall ship swaying endlessly
Gliding along under sail on a sea that sings
Creaking masts send us forth on our billowy wings
Nothing can compare to sailing neath stars above
Exciting places to be seen while on this sea of love
Someday I shall return and sail again upon this sea
Wouldn't you like to leave this land and sail away with me?

By The Fire
By The Fire
I sit by the fire with my thoughts of desire
As the flames do flicker and prance
Of one so serene and a body so lean
And the night of our wondrous dance
' Two spirits ', she said as I tilted my head
Wondering where this might lead
So our journey doth start as I follow my heart
For doing this is always my creed
A connection have we (of this we agree)
And we'll strive each one to inspire
Of the one so serene and a body so lean
And me, with my thoughts by the fire
The fire is warm, warm as your arms
Arms that, still, give me great desire
You see you emit so many charms

Silent Dispair
Silent Despair
I sit here sad and it's still the same,
Crying for hours holding in all the pain.
How you can sit and pretend everything's OK,
Continue moving on, day after day.
So as I continue to carry my silent guilt,
Wondering if my life can ever be rebuilt.
All the tears I weep when I' m all alone,
Behind my wall that has increasing grown.
Reflects some of the pain that tortures me,
I've tried and tried and can't seem to get free
The deepest scars of my life inflicted with such pain,
Of the betrayal that prevents me from being whole again
.
The trust that now has been broken, is there even a repair?
To free me from the darkest haunts of my silent despair.

New York Winter
New York Winter
Upon seeing the weather on TV, I noticed in your area
Your weather outside is dreadful But here it's so delightful
So because you've no place to go, watch it snow, watch it snow, watch it snow
It doesn't show signs of quittin You know you're stuck there just a sittin
Guess you could let the lights go low
Save some electric and watch it snow, snow, snow
It's gonna be 72 here today Why'd anyone stay up your way?
You need to find another place to go
Where there isn't any snow, any snow, any snow
Come visit, we have room with a view
Something you'll see that is new
With grass that one doesn't have to mow
And there's no snow, there's no snow, there's no snow
