(Not) Working Title: YNTO1

Single-minded you stand, keeps the heart out of trouble.
Needing not helping hands, you've already got double.
Life's just easier that way, so much simpler to smile.
In the back your mind still believe it's worthwhile.

Yet every time you tell yourself its best to turn and run, you come undone..

[You're not the only one.]

CHORUS
Not afraid of the fall, just that someone might catch you.
And they'd ask for it all, when they only just met you.
Life gets lonely that way, and you've known it so long.
It'll happen someday, you just have to stay strong.

The place where it begins will see you shining like the sun. It happens a ton.. 

[You're not the only one.]

CHORUS

BRIDGE:  Beam on. Dream on. Dreams come true. Love will shine its light on you.

And every time you find the heart that's waiting to be won. It's second to none.

[You're not the only one.]
CHORUS TO END.

LOVE LIVES ON

love gone wrong, love gone right
love for a lifetime, love for a night
love in the daytime, love @ the dawn.
I'm just happy that love lives on.

where there's love of the earth there is love in the air,
and there's a love among people; there's plenty who care,
there is love in our future and it's destined to win,
[can] put your guard down when love marches in.

easy to write about talk about sing about
little bit harder to live it,
perfect to dream about change your whole theme about
all we receive when we give it

love as the difference and love as the sum,
love how it multiplies each heart it's from
love in this moment with love built to last
Don't just stand there when love marches past.

love in thought, love in deed,
love is all you [really] need
love is the plan that was long ago drawn
to be infinite:

Love lives on.

On My Mountain

On my mountain, the sky would feel closer.
And the trees in the breeze would be palm.
And we'd take in the whole scene together.
For to share in the same sense of calm.

On my mountain, the sea and the shoreline,
spread before us like lovers entwined.
And the song of the seagulls, our chorus.
Breathing deeply a pure peace of mind.

On my mountain we'll go there as needed.
As our lifetime and schedules allow.
After standing our ground, we'll be seated.
While remembering: The future is now.

On my mountain in private, in-person,
taking visitors, only a few.
Finding joy in the company of oneness.
For my mountain is your mountain, too.

(What a wishfully wonderful view.)

ALL THESE YEARS

I saw your moon again

Was circling high above the ground
And I could still remember when
You made me stop and look around


So I met the morning sun

I let it put me into place
When u were rising from the dark
And I could see it in your face

But I stayed here
Surrounded by all (of) my fear

And I let go
I didn't imagine that you'd ever show

From a path that was laid, you've taken a pass
All the triumphs we trade for this shatterproof glass

But still there's tears
After all these years.

Adrift in endless space

Alone in timeless pasts

(I) Tried keeping up your pace

But I know it never lasts

And every now and then

Between your torch songs and your tease

I hear the most profound of truths

In all your Simplest melodies.

But I stayed here..
CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Now time is just a topic
we discuss in different ways

Gets broken into pieces

From millennia to days 

And you with all your viewpoints
And me here in my ma(i)ze

In an age-old quest for permanence, 

it's the fleetingness that stays...

(GUITAR SOLO)

But then I saw the moon again.
This time accompanied by stars.

It had a surface full of holes

It had a spirit full of scars

And then one winter in a wood

It lent its light upon the ground
To share a vision understood

So those who'd lost in love were found.

And I... I stayed here…
CHORUS TO END

What R The Odds?

What R the odds
that U and I'd get along?
And combine our two voices in a beautiful song
And then build our own family as strong as it's true
There's a good chance that's just what wed do.

Tell me: What R the odds our whole lives will transform?
As we start every morning with a love, pure and warm
And then end every night in a dream made for two
It's a chance that's worth taking on U.

What R the odds that our Far becomes Near
That the path laid before us is suddenly clear
And its simple and sure and it's here and its now
And begins to sound just like a vow.

Whoa.. (Wow.) :)

And then: What R the odds that our Lives will improve?
As those hopes for The Future become plans on the move
And all turbulent waters become Suddenly smooth.
And the tide brings U back right on time..

Baby, what R the odds you'll be mine?

Am I Allowed

Am I allowed to love you?
Is that what you want?
Can I throw away my numbers,
and call off the hunt?
If it is left to your decision
Will it be the 1 you make?
Because I promise I've been wanting to.
And it is 1 I'll never break.

Am I allowed to love you?
You thought it over for awhile?
Cos I got no more use for chasin' dreams
And I would live to make you smile
And when apart becomes together
And when our I's 1st form a 'we'
I wanna see the way love lights your life
And know a part of it is me.

So, am I allowed to love you?
Just say it once and then I'll know
And I'll forever trust your answer
To let it ride or let it go.
But if you like the way we're moving (close)
And if the feeling's fun and good
Then I suggest you let me love you.
And know for sure: I always would.

#

SO.

So, so beautiful.
So, so hot.
So much wish you were here.
But you're not.
So, so dear to me.
So damn sweet.
So (please) come near to me.
I saved your seat.

So sensational.
So sincere.
So in tune.
Made it so, so clear.
So many emotions
So let's make 'em all good.
I'm just so, so into you.
So I think that we should.

So original.
So profound.
So in touch
with the whole world around.
So endearing.
In so many ways.
So (tell me) how can I see you
in All of my days?

So, so happy.
So far, so great.
So it begs a question (or two)
Why wait?
So what comes next, baby?
Just so we're both sure.
Because I've been so looking forward to
So, so much more.

So..

:)
