bookmark_borderYour Affection

LYRICS
The building of suspension
Amongst the growing tension
… don’t let it lessen
Your affection
What we need now more than ever —
Love
Today, somehow
Hearts get clever
Hearts get together
Love
Believe it or not
One day your heart will stop
Until such a time
Going to keep mining mine
Not a matter “of”
Gonna keep diggin’ love

bookmark_borderThe Key to Your Heart

LYRICS
Come on lately
Getting freaky
Come on really
Lost your heart’s key?
Come on maybe
Come on I plea
Part with the key
… key to your heart
The key to start your heart

Common ground
In the sound
Can be found
Come on round
Hear what we’ll see
In your heart’s key
… key to your heart
The key to start your heart

The three words
You can say to me
My heart’s true

bookmark_borderYour Burning Question

LYRICS
Love is the answer
To your burning question
And so much more
You’ll be the dancer
I’ll take your suggestion
We’ll end all war
Their guns and bombs
They will not miss
If you replace with a kiss
No death, destruction?
They’ll just shrug
If you replace with a hug

Love is the answer
To your burning question
And so much more
You’ll be the dancer
I’ll take your suggestion
We’ll end all war
Slings and arrows
Miss by a mile
Once they see your loving smile
Hate succumbs
… is on the flee
Once they see what can be

bookmark_borderAbout Love

LYRICS
Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

At least this time around
At least this time I’ve found
It’s not me falling

Don’t get me wrong
I love love when the love is good
When the love is good
I’d sing it if I could

Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

bookmark_borderEveryday Every Day Love

LYRICS
If I pull back
Expand my view
Take a look from way above
Nothing I lack
To make it through
So that there is everyday love
Everyday love
Every day love

If I lean in
Sharpen my view
Listen to the voice above
It is within
To make it true
And bring on the everyday love
Everyday love
Every day love

bookmark_borderMistletoe?

LYRICS
I didn’t know
That there’d be mistletoe
Now you mention it
I’d love to go
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
Spectacle
Of Mother Nature’s show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That there’d be presents, too
Now you mention it
Love to see you
They say the temperature
Might drop real low
Spectacle
Of an icicle show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That she’d be there
Now you mention it
I’ve love to share
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
After all
I’ve nowhere else to go
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?

LYRICS
I’d travel through the snow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Uncharted boat I’d stow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Paddle against the flow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

I’d search both high and low
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

… waiting for me]

The glistening of the dew
Reminds of the eyes in you

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

LYRICS
What about peace
A piece of peace
A slice of love
… an understanding, thereof
Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

A peace on earth
A piece from birth
Sprinkle of love
… an understanding, thereof
Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

LYRICS
Scratch my back a little bit?
Hey, I’m getting use to it
Hope to make it habit
And, write it in the book of love

On my knees, I must confess
I will make you breakfast
Swear it won’t be our last
And, I’ll write it in the book of love

To see you is a work of art
To know you I do take to heart
At first sight, right from the start
And, I wrote it in the book of love
Wrote it in the book of love

LYRICS
You scolded me with scorn
’cause you say that you were born
Attention deficient
Can we come to terms
To constantly affirm

Is love inefficient
Getting love efficient
Giving love’s getting love
Efficient

bookmark_borderLast Wish

LYRICS
All I could have wished for
Happened long, long ago
At least that is what I thought
Because I didn’t know
Now that times are changing
Our “are” is rearranging
A new wish is coming to me
I wish for three
Love ONE another
(Come take my hand)
TO be a lover
Where the angels hover
(We’ll all understand)
THREE lost discovered
Wishes recovered
(Life is at hand)

Wish number 3
What could it be
Is wish for 4
Wish number four:
I wish for more
Love ONE another
(Come take my hand)
TO be a lover
Where the angels hover
(We’ll all understand)
THREE lost discovered
Wishes recovered
(Life is at hand)
