I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE THOSE DAYS

My mind keeps drifting back

To the things we used to do

Like keeping our love exciting

Always finding something new

I think about our weekends

And our little get aways

No matter how I try

I don’t want to leave those days.

Every time I turn a corner

There’s always something there

To remind me of the way I feel

And everything we shared.

The memories haunt me daily

From the moment that I wake

All I do is think about you

Sometimes more than I can take

I feel this burning pain

It brings me to my knees

I don’t know how to let you go

When I cling to memories.

Everything I think of

Includes you in some way

I try so hard to forget it

But it happens every day.

I don’t know how to go on

Without the man I love so much

I miss his every spoken word

I miss his every touch.

I know that I can’t hold on

But still I can’t let go

It kills me every single night

I love you more than you could know.

Every song played is about you

Everyday I see your face

I miss you so much it hurts

I feel so helpless in this place.

You left

There was a time I was hurting

I'd never know love I was sure

But when I wasn’t looking

I opened my eyes and there you were

I never had believed

that the day would come

when I would feel such love

I was important to someone

That was the day I cherished

because I had finally found

the one I'd always love

and build my life around.

But I was unaware

that our time would finally end

that I would lose the man I love

and in that, lose my best friend.

I cried a thousand tears

I prayed you wouldn't go

but your feelings for me weren't as deep

but how was I to know

I softly spoke your name

closed my eyes and took a breath

but when I looked again

I saw that you had left.

HAVE YOU EVER?

Have you ever loved somebody

So much you couldn’t sleep?

Have you ever heard that someone cry

And feel their pain as deep?

Have you ever looked into their eyes

And see into their soul?

Have you ever wanted one so much

More than they’ll ever know?

Have you ever listened to their voice

And think they are the one?

Have you ever wished that they were yours

Cause you know your search is done?

Have you ever seen their happiness

And hoped it’d never end?

Have you ever ached to hold them

And be their closest friend?

To feel these things about them,

Means your love for them is true

I know that you’re the one for me,

Because I feel these things for you.

IT SIMPLY JUST AMAZES ME

I stop and catch my breath

Every time I feel your touch

It simply just amazes me

That I could love this much

Anytime that you are near me

I ache for one sweet kiss

It simply just amazes me

That I could love like this.

My eyes are full of happiness

When I’m looking at you

It simply just amazes me

That I could love so true.

My body starts to tremble,

I know this can’t be wrong

It simply just amazes me

That I could love this strong

SWEETEST DAYS

I see you in my dreams

You are always on my mind

I know that I have found a love

Most people never find.

I want to be with you forever

Share in everything you do

Walk beside you hand in hand

And spend my nights with you

I miss you more than anything

When I am all alone

You’ve given me the sweetest days

That I have ever known.

I can’t imagine life without you

I don’t know where I’d start

My love is everlasting,

From you I’ll never part.

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SEE

I know that you are worried that my love isn’t so strong

But you’re the man I’ve waited for and needed for so long.

I see that you are scared, but I promise you I’ll stay

If you will give your heart to me, your love I won’t betray.

I feel the doubts around you, you may think it’s him I’ll choose

But if you could see what I see, then you’d know you’d never lose.

So if you want me I’ll be with you, if you need me I’ll be there

If you need reassurance, I will show you that I care.

You are all I ever wanted, open your eyes and you will see

That the one who wants to love you, is the woman inside of me.

GOOD DAYS WILL COME

When I look into your eyes

I see they’re full of pain

Knowing that you’re hurting

Is driving me insane.

I want to make it better

But I don’t know where to start

If only I could find a way

To mend your broken heart.

You know that I’m here for you

I’m the one who’ll always care

And when you need a shoulder

I promise I’ll be there.

Let me wipe away your tears

And put your hand in mine

Then one by one good days will come

If we only give it time.

HE IS

He is the reason I live and breathe

He is the only one I’ll ever need.

He is my truth when there’s nothing but lies

He is the joy that I’ve come to realize.

He is the peace that calms my soul

He is the half that makes me feel whole.

He is the smile when I’m looking through tears

He is my youth as I age through the years

He is the warmth when I’m feeling cold

He is my strength when I want to fold.

He is the shelter when I need to hide

He is the one man who will stay by my side

He is my rock when I’m feeling weak

He is my voice when I can not speak

He is the sunshine that brightens my days

He is the one that I will love in all ways.

IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH

If you knew how much I love you

Then your doubts would disappear

You’d know I’ll never leave you

When I’ve promised I’ll be here.

If you knew how much I want you

Then I know that you would see

You are everything I want

There’s no other man for me.

If you knew how much I need you

Then you’d open your arms wide

And hold me very close to you

There’d be nothing you would hide.

If you knew how much I cherish you

Then you’d know that I am yours

You’re the only one who’s in my heart

I’ll love you forever more.

TRUST HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

You walked into my life and without question stole my heart

Now everyday seems like forever, when we are apart.

There’s no way I can show you everything you are to me

Just trust how much I love you and you’ll find security.

If I could I would be with you, I want my life to have you in it

I miss you more than words could say, with every passing minute.

Our obstacles are many, and sometimes we’re both afraid,

but if you’ll put your faith in me, you won’t regret you stayed.

AN ANSWERED PRAYER

I didn’t think He heard me,

I swore He wasn’t there,

But then you walked into my life

And I had an answered prayer.

I thought it couldn’t happen

There was no one who would care

Until the day you smiled at me

And I had an answered prayer.

I didn’t know I could be happy

I thought God had been unfair

Till I felt your arms around me

And I had an answered prayer.

Now I’m counting all my blessings

Because He made us a pair

I’ll thank God every day I live

For I have you, my answered prayer.

IF YOU LET ME

How can you not feel it,

How is it you don’t know

That I was born to love you

And my heart can’t let you go

Can’t you see it on my face

It’s written in my eyes

Do I have to wish on every star

Until the day you realize?

If you listen you will know it

Every time your name I speak

If you let me I will give you

The love it is you seek.

I AM LOST

I am lost in love with you

My feelings for you are ever so true

I am lost in your kiss

When I’m alone, it’s you I miss

I am lost in your smile

But being with you makes it worthwhile

I am lost in your eyes

My spirit soars into the skies

I am lost in each moment we share

But I found myself because you were there

FOREVER YOURS

I love you so much, more than my words can say

You are all that I think of, each night and each day.

My feelings for you, they run so deep

I’m forever yours, for you to keep.

I want to be with you, and never apart

For you hold the key to the lock of my heart

It’s you that I live for, and for you’d I’d die

It’s the way that I feel, which I can’t deny.

I LOVE IT WHEN

I love it when you kiss my lips

Put your arms around my hips

Whisper sweetly in my ear

Lay beside me, hold me near

Sing sweet songs that make me cry

Tell me that for me you’d die.

Hold my hand when we walk

Look at me when we talk

Treat me with respect and pride

Make me feel so warm inside

Prove to me how much you care

Let me know you’re always there

Do the little things you do

And tell me that you love me too

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

It’s because I love you that I miss you all day long

It’s because I need you that I worry when you’re gone

I’m reminded how I want you when I see a picture of your face

I know there could never be another to lay beside me in your place.

I wonder if you’re lonely, missing me like I miss you

To hold you in my arms tonight, I’d swim the oceans through.

I don’t think I could survive if you didn’t fill my day

There’s no other man alive I could ever love this way.

And when the night comes calling and my tears begin to flow

I remember that you’re with me in my heart, my mind, my soul.

So when there’s space between us, I’ll fall down upon my knees

And pray that God will guide you back safely home to me.

Let Me…………

Let me be the one to hold you

And make everything alright

Let me take away your worries

Till they all are out of sight.

Let me wipe away the teardrops

As they come rolling down your face

Let me be the one your turn to

Even when you need some space.

Let me be the one to love you

When you feel you can’t go on

Let me be the one that’s with you

When you are so sad that she’s gone.

Let me bring a ray of sunshine

When your days are filled with rain

Let me bring some comfort to you

When you’re feeling so much pain.

Let me be the one you lean on

When you feel like you are weak

Let me fill the void inside you

And give the loving that you seek.

OUR DESTINED LOVE

It was determined before our birth

That our two souls would roam this earth

Our search would end when we finally meet

And then our quest would be complete.

Our hearts divided would join as one

When we meet, His will shall be done.

There’s no escaping our destined love

It’s not ours to deny, it came from above.

It can not be conquered, it can not be changed

It can not be questioned, this plan was arranged.

God spoke to the angels, of a love that would be

More precious than gold, and it’s for you and me.

He taught us hard lessons, but He helped us grow

So when the time comes, the real thing we’d know.

He let us take paths that led to mistakes

But His hand gently guided us, for both of our sakes

We learned that loving may come with a price

But there’s nothing on earth, that would ever suffice.

Our love for each other is strong deep and wide

It will last through all ages, it can’t be denied.

His hand, still it guides us, straight to heaven’s door

Where we’ll live forever, and love ever more.

I Wonder..

I wonder if you look back and wonder where I am

I wonder if you think of me and remember all our plans

I wonder if your days seem to pass without a smile

I wonder if you feel that without me life's worth while

I wonder if your dreams are filled with memories

I wonder if your thoughts keep drifting off to me

I wonder if you smile when someone says my name

I wonder if you wish that our love could be the same

I wonder if you're sad when you turn out the light

I wonder if you feel like we weren't worth a fight

I wonder if you wish that she was really me

I wonder if you cling to my distant memory

I wonder if you feel like I wasn't worth the wait

I wonder if I reach out for you, would you say it is too late

I wonder if one day we can bare our souls

And tell each other truths that we both deserve to know

I wonder if you feel each kiss I blow your way

I wonder if you're blessed by the prayers I kneel to pray

I wonder if we'll meet and still see it in our eyes

I wonder if you'll see the truth beyond the lies

I wonder if you'll know that no matter what I say

that I still hold on to you and me, and it will always be that way

COME BACK AND BE MY EVERYTHING

I need your arms around me

I’m afraid I’m losing you

You won’t let go of worries

And I don’t know what to do.

All I know is when I’m laying

In my bed alone at night

Is that I want to save our love

And I can’t give up this fight.

Maybe we were wrong

With some choices we have made

But I never thought we’d lose it all

And now I’m so afraid.

Won’t you reach your hand out to me

Pick me up from off my knees

Take the hurting from inside me

And end my heartfelt pleas

There are times I feel so lonely

My heart thrown into despair

But I pray if I keep trying,

This love can be repaired.

Everytime I think about you

My hands begin to shake,

For my entire world is balanced

On the decision that you make.

I’m losing all my hope

As time is passing by

I can’t call you, I can’t see you

So all I do is cry.

This is tearing me to pieces

I can’t even clear my head

You are all that I can think of

I just pray your love’s not dead.

Please take this space between us

And bring it to an end,

Come back and be my everything,

My love, and my best friend.

I thought we had it all….

Every time we touched

It was like electricity

I couldn't get enough

The need overwhelming me

I thought we really had it all

The love, friendship and fire

The passion that wells up inside

The unquenchable desire....

And now I feel so empty

I can't believe that you're not there

How do I just let it go

How do I just not care?

I ache to feel you near me

It's just killing me inside

I can't believe it's over

How could your love have died?

So much I miss our passion

And the way that we made love

It was every single dream come true

And every fantasy we thought of.

How I wish that you would hold me

Tell me every thing's alright,

Saying that you feel it too

And be here loving me tonight.

I’ll pack your things up in a box….

I'll pack your things up in a box

And today put you away.

I won't bother with a long goodbye

Because there's nothing left to say

There are no arms to comfort me

And there's nothing to believe

What I thought was love wasn't

Or else you wouldn't leave.

I've sat here and I've wondered

Why it matters not to you

I guess it really wasn't love

Or this would be something you can't do.

Just once I wish it was reversed

That it was you who wanted me

Because I know I'd change my mind

If you were holding on to me.

I'd tell you I can't leave you,

And if I go I need you to come

But those aren't the words you said to me

It simply was "you aren't the one".

You said I taught you how to love

Well I've failed you if that's true

Because love isn't something you can quit

It's something you can't help but do.

You say that this is best for us

How on earth can I agree

When the only thing I want

Is you standing next to me.

So now I know I was mistaken

God how it hurts to know it's true

So I'll pack your things up in the box

With my love and dreams of you.

My Dreams…..

I saw you in my dreams last night

You were standing next to me

And smiling as you held my hand

The way it’s supposed to be

We were laughing as we walked

And then we stopped to kiss

I awoke with my heart pounding

I could no longer feel the bliss

In a second I remembered

That you’re no longer there

My tears poured out instantly

My heart melted in despair

I held on to your picture

And I stared down at your face

I begged you to come back to me

But you were gone without a trace

I miss your arms around me

How I’ve ached to feel your touch

But you no longer want to have

This love I feel so much

I don’t know what you’re doing

Or if you are missing me

So I’ll just lay back down in bed

And be with you in my dreams.

Did you Forget?

Did you forget I need you?

Because I can’t find my way

I built my world around you

I don’t know how to live this way.

Did you forget I want you?

Because no matter who I see

There is no one that compares to you

You’re the only one for me.

Did you forget I crave you?

Because I’m left here all alone

I have no arms to hold me tight

And no one to call my own.

Did you forget you have me?

Because my heart’s still in your hands

I’d give up everything for you

I’m still your biggest fan.

Did you forget I trust you?

Because I gave you all of me

From the first moment that my eyes met yours

You were the only one I see.

Did you forget the good things?

And think the bad would be too rough

Were you afraid of taking risks

Thinking love won’t be enough?

Did you forget to hold on?

I would have stayed right by your side

I wonder where my love has gone

There’s been so many nights I’ve cried.

Did you forget I love you?

Because I do, more than I say

I’m still praying that this all will change

I still miss you every day.

I didn’t think it could

I didn’t think it could

But I found out all too well

That my heart can cry it’s own tears

It’s like an endless well.

I didn’t know it could

But it’s a lesson I can teach

That my hand can cry it’s own tears

Because you’re beyond it’s reach.

I didn’t think it could

But now I’ve come to see

My body can cry it’s own tears

Because you’re not holding me.

I didn’t think it could

But now I surely know

My mind can cry it’s own tears

I guess it hasn’t let you go.

I didn’t think it could

But to this conclusion I must come

My soul can cry it’s own tears

Because I’ve lost my only one.

I always knew they could

Because they do it everyday

My eyes are burning with the tears

Of seeing you go away.

Once

My heart no longer beats the same

My lonely lips still speak your name

Tears are running down my face

Where once a kiss had left it’s trace.

I can’t lay my head upon your chest

And feel my neck and hair caressed

My hands are bare without yours to hold

Where once the warmth replaced the cold.

I close my eyes with thoughts of you

Wishing that our time weren’t through

The stars seem dim, there’s no moonbeams

Where once we danced in all my dreams

And now nothing is as it was before

I have lost my love forevermore.

My soul is filled with emptiness

Where once I knew true happiness.

I’d have given up

I’d have given up the sunshine

just for the smile on your face

to be the only one for you

that no one can replace.

I’d have given up the moonlight

if I could only be

the only woman that you want

because there’s no one else for me.

I’d have given up the flowers

if I could just believe

as I am laying in your arms

that you will never leave.

I’d have given up the stars

If I could know without a doubt

that I will be the one true love

that you dont want to live without.

I’d have given up the ocean

if I knew it were true

that you love me the same

as the way that I love you.

I’d have given up the blue sky

if I could just pretend

there’s no broken heart inside me

because our story had no end.

I'll ask you not for anything

You kissed me one last time

And we’ve seen our final day

I’ll ask you not for anything

Except remember me this way…

My eyes were lit with happiness

When they were staring back at you

My smile was bright and genuine

Because of all the things you’d do.

My heart was beating wildly

Every time you were around

My body sang with every touch

Even if you heard no sound.

As I drove by your house

I softly blew a kiss

I’ll ask you not for anything

Except remember this….

My heart is always with you

My love is there forever more

And I’ve left a window open

Even though you’ve closed the door.

If we never meet again

and we each find somebody new

there will always be a part of me

that will still belong to you.
