It’s Possible

It’spossible to put a man on the moon,

Possiblethat Heaven might be,

It’spossible that there may be life up on Mars,

Possiblethat you could love me.

 

Incredible,the look in your eyes,

Excitable,just holding your hand.

Unquenchable,the thirst that I have for your touch.

It’spossible I could be your man.

 

Everylittle bit of hope that you give me,

Everylittle sigh that you show,

Everysmile, every mile of your highway

Iwill walk with you forever,

Whereveryou go.

 

It’spossible to be so in love,

Possibleto always be true.

AndI know til the end of all time

I’llstill be here loving you.

 

Unbreakable

Unbreakable…

Unshakable…

Ibuilt a wall right from the very start.

Thencame you…

Can’tbelieve it’s true…

You’vebroken my unbreakable heart.

 

Siren’scall…

Didnot intend to fall…

Justa fool playing out a part.

Youforsake…

Leftme in your wake…

Breakingmy unbreakable heart.

 

Iwas so clever

Puttingup defenses,

Thenyou broke down

Everysingle one.

Butinstead of staying

Mendingall our fences,

Youtook my heart and

Sailedinto the sun.

 

You’llregret…

AndI’ll forget

Allthose little things that

Toreour love apart.

TilI do

I’llkeep missing you

WhileI’m mending my unbreakable heart.

 

Two Lips and Tulips

Iwalk through your field where

Thetulips grow wild

AndI sway as they wave in the wind.

Ithink of your sweet lips,

Thecurve of your smile,

Andwonder if I’ll ever see you again.

 

Youwere my morning,

Asfresh as the dew,

Andlife was so simple back then.

Yoursmile was brighter

Thanthe tulips of spring

Whenyou kissed me and told me

Thatwe were just friends.

 

Howcan I take it?

Howcan I make it?

Iwanted much more from the start.

Maybein time, if I’m patient, you’ll see

Thefeelings down deep in my heart.

 

Tastingyour honey,

Lostin your wine,

Dreamingof how life should be.

Tulipsin springtime,

Yourtwo lips on mine.

Tulips,your two lips, and sweet memory.

 

Wildfires

Thewind stirs up the heat,

Stokesthe embers into flame,

Andno one sees just where the fire starts.

Youcame in to save me

AsI struggle to explain

Thesewildfires that rage around my heart.

 

Wewere wide-eyed strangers,

Twostars crossing in the sky.

Weboth came crashing down out of the blue.

Irushed to be by your side

Burningbridges on the way

AndI ran through wildfires just to be with you.

 

Nowwe both know the danger

Asthe flames sky overhead,

Thatevery step we take

Couldbe our last,

Butwe keep moving forward

Becausewe know up ahead

Ourtroubles will be faded in the past.

 

There’sno need to worry,

There’sno need for doubt.

Wedon’t need to heed the fireman’s cry.

There’sa bright tomorrow

Andwe don’t have to fear

Thesewildfires that flame across our sky.

 

Tightening the Screws

Gameon

Andthe rules are soon forgotten.

Iknow

Twowrongs never make a right.

Flameon

Whenour two worlds burn together

Andwho knows where it all may end tonight.

 

Iknow

Thatwe should have seen it coming.

Eyeswide

Toanticipate the news.

Wecould have spent

Allour energy to fix things,

Makeit better

Tighteningthe screws.

 

Butyou never said a single word,

AndI was such a fool

Neverthinking about all that we could lose.

Couldhave made it all work better

Ifwe’d only thought it through

Andtook some time tightening the screws.

 

I’llbeg

Ifit makes it all seem better.

I’llplead;

Anythingto get to you.

We’lltry

Handin hand we’ll work together,

Spenda lifetime

Tighteningthe screws.

 

A Weakness for You

I’vealways been

          The kind of person people can rely on,

Throughthick and thin

The one who would be strong.

Justlike a rock

          Offering a hope to hold onto.

IfI have a weakness,

          I have a weakness for you.

 

Iwas alone

          Didn’t think I needed anybody,

Justlike an island

          In a sea of blue.

Youcame along

          Took my heart and melted it to water,

AndI found my weakness.

          I have a weakness for you.

 

AllI have to do is close my eyes to see

Everylittle thing you are.

EverythingI’m hoping for and long to be

Iswaiting for me there in your arms.

 

Don’tsay a word,

          Words don’t matter when we aretogether.

We’lldare the world,

          Darling, just we two.

I’llface the fire

          Knowing you and I will be forever.

IfI have a weakness

          I only have a weakness for you.

 

Dancing in the Dark

Turnout the lights, dear,

Saygoodnight and send the guests all home.

Nowit’s just the two of us

Leftto dance and spend the night alone.

Somewherenext to midnight

Wesnuggle close and let the music start.

It’sjust you and me and we’re

Dancingin the dark.

 

Talkabout forever…

Talkabout the way it was back when…

Lighterthan a feather

Whenthe feeling comes around again.

Wedon’t need the sunlight.

Weknow when the arrow hits its mark.

Wecan spend the whole night long

Dancingin the dark.

 

Ifwe have to wait,

Wewon’t hesitate,

Wecan find a quiet place to rest.

Letthe world go by,

Wewon’t question why,

Wewon’t have a reason to confess.

 

Heartsare beating stronger

Waitingfor the evening sun to set.

Grandanticipation,

Nota single notion of regret.

Walkinghand in hand now,

Musicplaying softly from the park.

It’sjust you and me

Andwe’re dancing in the dark.

 

Hastily Waiting

Ilearned in the Army

Howto hurry up and wait,

Learnednever to volunteer,

AndI found out about fate.

Ilearned how a chance can fall

Rightout of the blue.

Sohere I stand hastily waiting for you.

 

Youcan’t imagine how hard it is to wait

Foryour life and your mind to change.

Irush to your doorstep whenever you call

Nomatter how awkward,

Nomatter how strange.

 

Therewas a time when

Theworld turned much slower,

Butthat changed the moment we met.

NowI’ll spend a lifetime

Ifthat’s what it takes

Hastilywaiting without regret.

 

Everymoment I stand by your side

Andrevel in your company

Isworth all the waiting

Outsideof your threshold

Toknow just how good life can be.

 

Maybeone day you’ll wake up

Andsomehow realize

Howmy heart has always been true. Til then

I’llquickstep to see you

Wheneveryou call,

Hastilywaiting,

Waitingfor you.

 

It Will Come to You

Neverknow when it will come

Orwhere it might appear, or

Exactlywhat to do when it arrives.

Onlyknow the longing grows

Towash away all fears

Asthose feelings long-forgotten come alive.

 

Andthe world stops spinning

Waitingfor forever,

Andthe multitudes boil down to just you two.

Thereis nothing sweeter on this side of Heaven.

Ifyou wait for it, it will come to you.

 

Iwas lost outside the crowd

WhenI first met you,

Sunkas deep as one can go and still survive.

Thenyour love lifted me up

Outof the quicksand,

Andthose long-neglected feelings were revived.

 

Nowwe stand before the world in testimony.

Nomore room for doubt

Andno need to explain.

We’vesurvived the storms

Growingstrong together,

Walkinghand in hand

Throughall the joy and pain.

 

Andthe world stops spinning

Waitingfor forever,

Andthe multitudes boil down to just you two.

Thereis nothing sweeter on this side of Heaven.

Ifyou wait for it, it will come to you.

 

Highways

Wecould go to Denver,

MaybeSan Antoine,

Takea trip to Memphis,

Slideback to Bayonne,

Motorinto Detroit,

Driveout to the coast,

Spendsome time at Disney,

Theplace we love the most.

 

Loveto see the canyon,

Theysay it’s awfully grand,

Takea stroll down Bourbon Street

Walkinghand in hand.

Wecould breeze the Gulf coast,

NewEngland in the fall,

Cruisethe Shenandoah

Untilwe’ve seen it all.

 

Lifeis filled with highways

Madefor you and me,

Runningto forever

Towhere we want to be.

Wecan find the future,

Wecan make a friend

Travelinglife’s highways

Untilwe reach the end.
