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

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

I sit alone
Facing my life
The fan drones
I miss my wife

Changing I am
A new man I’ll be
Taking the time
I hope she sees

I wonder why I do the things I do
I wonder why I do all I do for you
I want to wake in the mornings beside you
I want us to share our lives

I feel that time is slipping
Away from us oh so fast
I feel my Love is leaving
I need this thing to last
