A Picture of You

Mymind’s playing tricks on me

WhenI close my eyes.

Ona pallet of mystery

Archedin subtle surprise,

Fillsmy canvas of angel wings

Anda heart that’s so true.

Itall paints a picture,

Apicture of you.

 

Itried for so many years

Tofind someone who

Wouldwalk with me hand in hand

Andmake all my dreams come true.

Thenthe day you came into my life

Wasthe first day I knew

Mymind held a picture,

Apicture of you.

 

Thensuddenly I realized

Thepicture was crystal clear.

Inever had to dream you up,

Yourimage was always here.

Fromnow until the end of my life

Nomatter what I do,

Myheart will hold you close to me

Ina picture…

Apicture of you.

 

What Now?

Whatnow?

DoI walk away?

Savemy broken heart for another day.

Whatnow?

Ifyou turn around

ShouldI run to you begging you to stay?

Whatnow?

Inour darkest hour

Doyou feel the power coming over you?

Wouldyou break my lonely heart without regret?

Tellme, what do I do now?

 

Noone told me what to do

Whenit came to losing you.

Neverthought I’d ever see the day.

Butthere you stand with your hands on hips.

Ihear the words falling from your lips.

Onlyone thing left for me to say.

 

Whatnow…..

 

Can’timagine what I did

Tomake you feel this way.

Ifthere’s a price to change your mind,

Tellme, I will gladly pay.

 

Whatnow?

DoI walk away?

Savemy broken heart for another day.

Whatnow?

Ifyou turn around

ShouldI run to you begging you to stay?

Too Good to be True

Mybest friend told me ‘bout a rumor he heard,

Howyou’ve been asking ‘bout me.

Saidyou’ve been talking ‘round to all of your friends,

Givingthem the third degree.

Ijust can’t believe a simple guy like me

Couldhave a chance with someone like you.

Wouldn’thave believed it in my wildest dreams.

It’sjust too good to be true.

 

Hey,I want to tell everybody,

Standup tall and lead a cheer.

Goodfortune shining down on me,

Gotme smiling ear to ear.

Misfortune,don’t you come around

Tomake her change her point of view.

Icouldn’t take it if you changed your mind.

You’rejust too good to be true.

 

Ican see you walking down the aisle

Carryinga rose bouquet,

Lookingsweeter than my fondest dream,

Girlyou take my breath away.

Sucha vision standing next to me,

Ican’t wait to say “I do”.

Knowingthat I am the luckiest man,

It’sjust too good to be true.

 

All Night Long

You’vebeen sitting in your lonely room

Staringat an empty wall,

Waitingsilently and wondering

Ifyou should or shouldn’t call.

Nowit’s late and you still hesitate

Topick up the telephone.

Don’tyou worry; you can take your time.

I’llbe waiting all night long.

 

Ihate it when we disagree and

Youstorm out in rage

Leavingme to search my empty soul

Likea tiger in a cage.

Andyour words keep running through my head

Likesome long-forgotten song,

Whenall I want to do is hold you near

Andlove you all night long.

 

MaybeI should just forget my pride

Andthe hurtful words you said.

Ijust need you back here in my arms

BeforeI go out of my head.

Weneed to make this go away.

Idon’t care who’s right or wrong.

EverythingI have I’ll gladly give

Justto hold you all night long.

 

Spinning Around

Girl,you’ve got me on a roller coaster,

Gotme twirling like a spinning top.

Upand over, round and round, on a crazy carousel

AndI never want the ride to stop.

 

You’rethe master of a grand illusion,

Misdirectingmy whole point of view.

Lookingover, looking under,

Lookingup ahead, looking everywhere to find a clue,

Andmy head keeps spinning around,

Andmy life keeps spinning around,

Andmy world keeps spinning around

Becauseof you.

 

Youcan make believers out of dreamers,

Turna fearless foe into a friend.

Justone look into those eyes was all you ever needed

Toknock me down and pick me up again.

 

Justone kiss from you would be like Heaven,

Sendme soaring off into the blue,

Takeme higher, take me farther,

Nevertouch the ground

Untilyou make my every dream come true.

 

Andmy head keeps spinning around,

Andmy life keeps spinning around,

Andmy world keeps spinning around

Becauseof you.

 

Hold Me

Daylightbreaks the silence in a world of dreams,

Aworld where you’re forever in my heart.

Iawake with just a pillow to wrap my arms around

Andthe agonizing knowledge that we’re so far apart.

Iwork all day trying to keep busy,

Butyou are in my mind constantly.

Idream about the day I’ll be coming home to you,

Andhow everything is going to be alright

Assoon as you hold me.

 

Everyday that passes brings me closer to your arms,

Oneday closer to your loving face.

Everylonely night I hold you close inside a dream

Andfeel the gentle touch of your embrace.

 

Thereis no one on this side of Heaven

Tocompare with the one I left behind.

Itisn’t hard to know why my heart skips a beat

Everytime a thought of you crosses my mind.

Iknow you and I will be forever.

Youare both a lover and a friend.

Wedon’t have to worry even though we’re far apart

‘Causeeverything will be alright again

Assoon as you hold me.

 

When You Fall Asleep

Daylightslowly fades into the western skies

Puttingon a show to tease my wondering eyes.

Imaginationtakes me to wherever you might be,

Evenif it’s a million miles beyond reality.

 

Ican hardly wait for sleep to ease my mind,

Holdyou in my arms and leave the world behind.

AndI whisper a silent prayer offered up on bended knees,

Whenyou fall asleep tonight

Ihope you’re dreaming of loving me.

 

Neverwanted to be so far from your loving arms

Ina place a world away from you and all your charms.

Butthere’s one thing I know for sure

Nomatter how it seems,

WhenI fall asleep tonight

I’llbe walking in all your dreams.

 

I’llbe there for you…

Whenyou fall asleep.

 

Ican hardly wait for sleep to ease my mind,

Holdyou in my arms and leave the world behind.

AndI whisper a silent prayer offered up on bended knees,

Whenyou fall asleep tonight

Ihope you’re dreaming of loving me.

 

A Private Invitation

I’vebeen searching all my life

Tryingto find somebody like you.

Someonewho will take me as I am

Andalways be true.

Onlyone desire floods my soul

AsI think about you and your charms,

Hopingfor a private invitation

Intoyour loving arms.

 

Forgetabout what’s in the past

You’venever had a lover like this.

Allthe frogs you thought would turn into a prince

Withthe warmth of your kiss.

Theydon’t mean a single thing to me

AndI think you know that it’s true.

Theycouldn’t understand the treasure in

Aninvitation to loving you.

 

Takeaway the smoky clouds of doubt.

Letthe sunlight shine in.

Letme be the one to fill your dreams

Asa lover and a friend.

 

Noone knows just what the future holds,

Butone thing is for sure.

Feelingslike the ones I have for you

Willalways endure.

Idon’t want to miss a single day,

That’swhy I wait so patiently

Fora private invitation from your heart

Tolast us to eternity.

 

Have You Lost Your Mind?

Makeup? You say you want to make up.

You’retelling me you didn’t mean to be so unkind.

Wakeup! After such a fiery breakup

Ithink we need a little shakeup.

Baby,have you lost your mind?

 

Youand me are like fire and ice.

Wecan’t exist together.

We’vebeen angry since the day we met.

Forus to try and see it through

Andbrave the stormy weather

Wouldonly bring us oceans of regret.

 

Moveon. It’s time for us to move on.

Letour story play out to the end

Andlet it unwind.

Butyou say you want to keep us both in play,

Tryto find another way.

Baby,have you lost your mind?

 

There’sno need to disagree.

Theanswer should be crystal clear.

Idon’t know why you can’t see

Theonly way we should go from here.

Butthere you stand with your heart in hand

AndI am trying hard to find

Thewords to make you understand the truth…

Baby,have you lost your mind?

 

Accidental Guest

Itwasn’t my intention to

Getcaught up in your web.

Ishould have paid attention from the start.

I’mjust an accidental guest but

NowI never want to leave

Becauseyou wrapped your gentle weave

Aroundmy heart.

 

Oh,won’t you look at me.

Ican happily confess.

NowI always want to be your

Foreveraccidental guest.

 

Iwasn’t looking for commitment,

Orthen again maybe I was,

Oranything more than just one night.

Butnow your accidental guest is looking to forever

Andevery shred of doubt is out of sight.

 

Oh,won’t you look at me.

Ican happily confess.

NowI always want to be your

Foreveraccidental guest.

 

Somepeople say I’m lucky

AndI have to tell you I agree.

Theangels must have smiled on the night we met.

TheFates brought us together

Accidentally,

Andnow we face the morning sun without regret.

 

Oh,won’t you look at me.

Ican happily confess.

NowI always want to be your

Foreveraccidental guest.
