Sitting here with my empty glass
wondering what to do
I order another one
while I’m thinking of you
Drowinging my sorrows
in a bottle of gin
hoping and praying
that someday I’ll win
Drinking is not the answer
but for now it will have to do
how else will I
work on forgetting about you
It seems the thing
that has to be done
why, oh why?
We have so much fun
It should have been different
I should have known
splitting your love
could only spell doom
You gave me a choice
with no choice involved
I sit here thinking
nothing’s resolved
So I stare into my drink
and drown my sorrows
while I sit here and think
there is are no tomorrows.

Krushing my heart is
all you could do
tearing me apart
how I still love you
Your love, oh so fine
will you give some to me
else I turn away
leaving you free
Love is to precious
save some for me
Kindness is all you showed
allowing me to care
thoughtfulness was your only need
hurt your last desire
you tried to understand me
witnessing the change
everything felt so fine
learning new and old
learning good from bad
so life could go on.

beauty is all i see
in your heart and in your eyes
the beauty you bring out
as freely as the open skies
my love is ever growing
in your presence I long to be
my heart is overflowing
with my love for thee
they say chivalry has dies
it’s drifted so far away
but it will never die
if I have anything to say
your honor is dear
your wishes divine
your knight in shining armor
is the sole wish of mine
such beauty as yours is rare
it simply mystifies me
the inner quality is there
for all the people to see
your inner qualities abound
so alive and so free
like none that I’ve found
you’re so precious to me
no gem can compare
in beauty or in worth
you’re what I’ve been searching for
since the time of my birth.

Trees and flowers living together
Squirrels and wolves in harmony
It’s so easy for them
Why, oh why, can’t we
Living and sharing
The things they need
Helping each other
Living in harmony
Trees provide and protect
Animals survive and share
All the necessities of life
Living in perfect harmony
The “less” intelligent
Live so free
Free from hate
Free from fear
Lessons to be learned
Of sharing and caring
Why can’t we
Live in that perfect harmony.

Beauty is in the heart
In the bird and the tree
Beauty is in the stars
Like in you and me
Beauty is all around
You need only look
And you will see
The beauty you bring to me
You smile with those eyes
Like none I’ve ever seen
It almost makes me cry
That we can never be
When I wander off to think
Your beauty haunts me still
I hope for what could be
Though I know it never will
Your beauty brought me back
When I was feeling low
It kept me going
Oh, I need you so
I know this cannot be
Dream though I may
Your beauty will instill
The hope of a future day
For beauty is within you and me
And in all that we see
Someday though, not too soon
Someone will see my beauty too
When that day arrives
For I know it will come
I will thank the beauty in the stars
That you gave to me
