The time we spend together
The long times we are apart
Oh, will our love this weather
With this wholly brand new start
We sit apart from each other
In entirely different states
I a father, you a mother
For now that must be our fates
Soon the time will come to pass
Our time together will be
And when that time will come at last
Together there, you and me

If I had a penny
For all my thoughts of you
I’d be a rich man
In a day or two
Your smile gives me warmth
Your touch makes me glad
I want you happy
No, not ever mad
Want to kiss your lips
Want to see you smile
Want to hug you close
If only for awhile
Verses I write you
In styles you adore
Gladness in your heart
Shows my love much more
Now to end my rhyme
On a note of love
I truly love you
My beautiful, lovely dove

I walk along the beach
My path a random road
My mind for you does reach
To lessen my weary load
I see you in the distance
A speck at the edge of sight
I move against my resistance
For the promise of tonight
We finally come together
A nice reunion we seek
A night of recreation
A night of being together
A night to reach our peak
From our love’s suggestion

You say you want to be yourself
You’re afraid that I won’t like it
I’ve never asked for anything else
But for you to only be you
We’re all afraid to show ourselves
Cause insecure creatures are we
I still won’t think any less of you
No matter who you really be

My heart puts out a soulful song
Of strong lament and awful wrongs
A broken man I have become
Amid the wreck of life humdrum
I open the door, try to see
The base desires inside of me
I shuffle around in the dark
Stumbling over things unmarked
I see the light, I find the door
Looking round, I head cross the floor
I look around but still I see
The base desires inside of me
Wanting harder to right the wrong
My heart puts out its soulful song

This marriage was for life
We need to make it so
I meant the words I said
On a spring day years ago
What can I do?
What can I say?
What have I done now
For us to be this way?
My love for you
From my chest bursts
To fall on rocks
As my love thirsts
I want to be better
A man that you love
A man that needs Help
From God above

I wish that I could talk to you
I wish that you could see
The new man that’s forming
Deep inside of me
A man of deep forgiveness
A man of deeper love
A man of little jealousy
A man to be proud of
A man of lesser anger
A man that wants to be
A man who loves you dearly
If only you could see

Up
Down
All around
I look to find
I hear no sound
You left a feeling
You left a smell
You left no trace
When we fell
I go to bed at night
I wonder what you do
I see the empty pillow
Where it should be you
