Sitting in the Dark
Sitting in the Dark
wishing you would call
wondering what I’d say
A chance to talk
a chance to sit
a desire to hold you
Sitting in the Dark
wishing you were here
how would I react
Try too hard
Ask for too much
never having a chance
Sitting in the Dark
staring at the screen
lost….

For Having Been in Love with You
Heart is aching
it just won’t stop
emotions I haven’t felt
since I was young.
I long to please
I long to hold
you in my arms
My life is full
of empty things
just passing the time
Staying busy
keeps me deaf
when I’m alone
my heart screams for you
I feel so pathetic
so lost in my life
lost in my love of you
Some day I will be
able to move on
that much I know is true
I will grow and rejoice
in the life that I have
for my life is so much richer
for having been in love with you

Be Thankful
When the day is gray
Be Thankful
When the sun shines bright
Be Thankful
When the job gets tough
Be Thankful
When you get that promotion
Be Thankful
When your kids yell
Be Thankful
When you hug your kids
Be Thankful
When relationships sour
Be Thankful
When you find your soul mate
Be Thankful
From one extreme to the other
Be Thankful
Everyday you can live and breathe
Be Thankful
Remember the past
Be Thankful
Dream of the future
Be Thankful
Live for today and
Be Thankful!
Thoughts of you
Thoughts of you
Brighten my day
As the new sun rises
Over the bay
Patiently waiting
Til the day arrives
That we two
Can share our lives
You have your plans
And I have mine
Will our paths meet
Somewhere down the line
I hope and I pray
Life will come along
Bringing us together
To share our song.
The days move along
The time sure flew
The sun is now setting
With thoughts of you

Draw You a Picture
Working my way
Through the daily grind
Smiles returning
Once so hard to find
New friendship found
Sharing so much
Life falling into place
The heart’s gentle touch
Teetering on the line
Not wanting to cross
Opening my heart
Chancing the loss
Moving too fast
In my heart of hearts
Mind keeps me steady
Using my smarts
I can’t call it off
It’s too late for me now
No more acting left
It’s time for the final bow
Cryptic and obvious
What more can I do
Draw you a picture
“I’ve fallen for you”
