A Song For ... who??

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
We've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck
If ya find she helps your mind, better take her home
Oh dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

The One That Got Away

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with... and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be
in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.

You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life.

If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that ALMOST got away."

Oon You Know How

Sometimes I get so angry,
Cursing the whole world
But you know how to calm me down
With a touch and a couple of words

Sometimes I get so melancholy
And see it all painted blue
But you know how to cheer me up
And rainbow-color my view

Sometimes I get so crazy
And mess everything up
But you know how to slap me sober
And put my fit to stop

Sometimes I get so bored
And the world is one big yawn
But you know how to spice it up
And again turn me on

And always I get so Me
But you still love me somehow
Through all my turbulent seasons
Only you know how

Sometimes I get so restless
Like a wild horse in a cage
But you know how to saddle me down
And tame my raving rage

Sometimes I get so weary and
Feel like breaking down
But you know how to lift me up
Before I hit the ground

Sometimes I get so broken
And I feel like cryin'
But you know how to mend my wings
And get me back flyin'

Sometimes I get so cocky and
Forget who I really am
But you know how to size me down
And remind me I'm just a man

A man I barely liked
But you taught me to love somehow
But to manage his countless flaws
Only you know how

Happy Ending

"You don't choose who you will love ... love chooses you"

ooo O ooo O ooo O ooo

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life, Can't get no love without sacrifice. If anything should happen, I guess I wish you wel. A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told. No hope, or love, or glory. Happy endings gone forever more, I feel as if I'm wastin'. And I'm wastin' everyday.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind. Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around. If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep. I can think

This is the way that we love, like it's forever. Then live the rest of our life, but not together.

This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending. No hope, no love, no glory, NO HAPPY ENDING. This is the way that we love, like it's forever. To live the rest of our life, but not together.

ooo O ooo O ooo O ooo

A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE,
A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE,
A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE.
