Goodbye

Lost within so many thoughts

they pass me one by one

Looking back on wars we fought

and battles that we won...

I can't erase the good or bad

they both walk hand in hand

The path we couldn't help but take

and where we both now stand...

I owe a debt I can't repay

no matter how I try

I hope that you'll forgive me please

as we now say goodbye...

A penny for your thoughts my love
you're somewhere far away
I've watched you now for days on end
there's not much left to say...

Your heart is far away from me
I see it in your eyes
It's time to set you free my dear
to say our last goodbyes...

Music by Stanton Lanier

With You

Oh Baby how the years have gone

we're both still standing here

Ten thousand days and nights have passed

and now, another year...

I wonder what tomorrow brings

and what we'll both go through

No matter what we'll face in life

I'll always be with you...

Decontrol

The ocean calls for me again

it's time to rest my soul

The cares of life are heavy now

I need to decontrol...

Truth Be Told

The truth be told, I dream a lot
she often calls for me
I wake up in another place
where we're still young and free...

There are no rules when we get there

we both just understand

We dance along the beach at night

make love there in the sand...

My Queen

You live within another world

and far removed from mine

A princess always on display

where gold and glitter shine...

I'm just another in a crowd

a man of modest means

I live my life for God and king

there are no limousines...

But I can give you what they won't

and love you desperately

A lifetime of devotion yours

a happy family...

I'll always be there by your side

in good times and in lean

Will cherish you for all my life

you'll always be my queen...

Regrets

A hollow feeling resonates

alas the chapter ends

What are the lessons I have learned?

How do I make amends?

Was caught between realities

a void within my soul

The loneliness that walked with me

destroyed my self-control...

Regrets now have their way with me

afflict with heavy hand

A penance that I must embrace

my heart and mind demand...
