Heartstrings: April 2016

To You

How do I tell you how I feel

afraid you'll run away

I've held you in a so many dreams

and then another day...

This loneliness is killing me

these secrets in my heart

Not ever knowing what to do

is tearing me apart...

My spirt never seems to rest

does what my mind can't do

Ever searching for a path

that leads me straight to you...

Music by Jon Achmidt

So Proud

Oh Ami how the years have gone

they're moving faster now

While I was busy living life

grew old and frail somehow...

So proud of what you've done in life

and all that you've become

I always knew you'd reach the top

the trials you'd overcome...

My dearest child I love you so

don't change a single thing

You wait until the right one comes

then wear his wedding ring...

The Moment

The moment that I saw your face

my spirit leaped inside

And when you took me in your arms

I held you close and cried...

I knew that moment you were mine

at last you had arrived

The loneliness I knew was gone

my soul had been revived...

My Love

I'm feeling you today my love

although you're far away

Emotions that are troubling you

are touching me today...

I've always said that there's a bond

connecting you and me

There came a moment in our life

when you and I were we...

I wish that I could hold you now

and tell you it's alright

Until you're back within my arms

I'll dream of you tonight...

Fantasy

Subtle glances all day long

I can't help watching you

Every time you walk on by

emotions then ensue...

I'm captured in a fantasy

that will not let me go

How long can this keep going on

until at last you know?...

A Change

How do these thoughts of you appear

how long can I refrain?

No matter how I fight them off

they just come back again...

A change is taking place inside

I'm not the same today

The world that I was living in

is fading more each day...

I know the truth within my heart

but don't know what to do

How do I find a way to say

I'm so in love with you?...

Longing

Hello my friend, it's me again

I thought of you today

Kept wishing I could see your face

so much I want to say...

I can't move on and let you go

and fade into the pack

Cause every time I turn away

I keep on looking back...

I struggle with this email chat

can't say just how I feel

The fact that I'm in love with you

grows harder to conceal...

Radical

Living life in rabbit holes

a never ending search

Speaking hypotheticals

their reputation smirched...

Radicals with endless cause

unable to adjust

The message they deliver us

that no one dares to trust...

Conforming is impossible

they never did belong

We quietly remember them

and grieve that they were wrong...

Together

When heartache comes to humble us

you reach to hold my hand

You look at me and say the words

together we will stand...

Unconditional

I'm gonna miss you most of all

the bond we always shared

No matter what we faced in life

you proved you really cared...

When heartache came to humble us

you'd reach to hold my hand

You'd look at me and say the words

together we will stand...

I know the meaning of true love

I saw it every day

Your love was unconditional

in each and every way...

When The Angels Call

I feel so lonely deep inside

sometimes I want to cry

For me to let another know

I'd almost rather die...

I fear the end is coming soon

Does anybody care?

Will anyone remember me?

How will my loved ones fare?

I know I've had more than my share

so grateful for it all

Sure hope that I'll be ready when

I hear the angels call...

Glory Days

We used to dance on Friday nights

you wore your favorite dress

The floor was our escape from life

our feelings we'd express...

For hours I would stare at you

and watch your every move

I'd whisper when the music slowed

and hope that you'd approve...

Those really were the glory days

when love was all we knew

Although so many years have passed

I'm still in love with you...

I Heard

I heard you married yesterday

was lost for words to say

Emotions got the best of me

I cried throughout the day...

I should be happy for you now

but deep inside I know

That I should be the one you hold

with little ones in tow...

No Doubt

I've kept you hidden in my heart

for all these many years

I've kissed you in a thousand dreams

a river full of tears...

Your name I've whispered many times

emotions pouring out

I'll close the door to keep them back

they'll come again no doubt...

Music by George Skaroulis

Loneliness

What do you do

when love is gone...the crushing emptiness?

How do you live

and deal with this... god awful loneliness?

I tried so hard to make it work
I gave you all I had
You left me with a broken heart
My spirit wounded bad...

Drifting Apart

We've been together for so long

and had our ups and downs

Sometimes we've walked up the edge

but always turned around...

I don't know what tomorrow holds

we're drifting far apart

It's likely that for both of us

we need a brand new start...

Heart and Soul

You light the room when you walk in

and all the young men stare

A princess who has graced our life

so beautiful and fair...

I can't find words to say out loud

of how you make me feel

Everytime I see your face

my heart again you steal...

Sometimes I see you in my dreams

you dance across the floor

An evening gown with golden lace

you make me want you more...

If I should ever catch your eye

somehow could get the chance

I'd give to you my heart and soul

and bask in sweet romance...
