I haven't been loved by a gal in quite a while
You know it ain't easy making me smile
Friends have their lovers
Women on a string
There must be something terribly wrong with me
Sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything
How do you do?
Would you like to be friends?
No, I just want a bed for the night
Someone to tell me they care
You can fake it, that's all right
In the morning I won't be here
It's a sacrificial altar
And I'm laying down my head
And I'm telling you up front --
I haven't much to give
Is that how it's done,
Or shall I sing and dance?
Give me a chance
How do you do?
Yes, that might be very nice
Maybe we'll fall in love
Every body has its price
Mine is yours for free
If you'll be in love with me
I haven't been loved by a gal in quite a while
You know it ain't easy making me smile
Friends have their lovers
Women on a string
There must be something terribly wrong with me
This Gift
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is waiting to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require leaving
This gift will fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
And you
You'll be no harbor to the sorrow
Just let it go.
Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Just you believe it now
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
These things just fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up [x2]
I stop by from time to time just to see the fantasy
It doesn't matter to you I know but beyond my wildest dreams it matters to me
Outside my mocking smile and wit I'm just as awkward as a little school boy
However those years are long since gone but not the memory of being used like a toy
So I stop by to bear witness to what I think should be anyone's dream
I just don't see the outer beauty I see the brightness of you and would love to be in your gleam
No matter how much I pride myself on being a wordsmith I don't think I'll find the words that are right
The ones that will help me stand out in the crowd, bring me to the front of the line, in your line of sight
I know love very well because it haunts me and teases me with what could be
I know I can share a powerful love no story book but reality, just want to find that someone for me
You know I come by your page from time to wish you well and let you know how special you are
The distance doesn't make me apprehensive I'd cross any gap to make you happy no matter how far
So just go ahead and say what you feel you've got nothing to lose
However the risk of no contact with you at all is dissappointment I'm not ready to choose
The greater the risk the greater the reward is what brings me here
The risk that you'll not only read but hear my words and know how I long to call you dear
I hope you know how often I stop by just to say hello
With great sincerity not a stalker or a troll just to witness the fantasy then go
As a matter of fact it could become quite habit form but I know that's not the thing to do
What I do know is that I long for you.
Each day is an opportunity to learn, to love, to give, to make a difference, and to make an imprint on your blank page. It's so easy to take, to receive without giving in return for some. Then life in actuallity doesn't become about you but the lives of those who interact with you. You become one dimensional while they become the focus of your Autobiography.
Become the main focus in the autobiography of your life. Leave a place better that you found it, do good where you can, give when you can, love all that you can.
It's so easy to hate, to divide, to take, to judge, for some this is big business and they don't care. Just like reality television wants you to waste your life watching a fake version of someone else living theirs. Politicians tell you the sky is falling, who is to blame, but don't tell you how to take cover other than voting for them four years from now. Gee, Thanks!
You want to above all else be HAPPY!! With all the pain and suffering that may befall you (and I hope it doesn't). Happiness is your right! Don't give it away, mind you there are extenuating circumstances and thats for another time, but if you've known it then you're able to own it.
You know how to find that smile, that little thing that lifts you up, that song, that prayer, that loved ones voice, your favorite run, the memory of the one you'll never forget, the good times, the good friends, etc. thats your "Happy". Thats the introduction to your autobiography.
It's your story. Write it!!
