Throwing it Away

As i lay amongst the wilted flowers
The sun shines down on me
I think of times gone past
Of what i could of been

Where would i be now
If i took that chance you see
I should of been somebody else
but now i am only me

I had it all the money, cars and happiness
sure what else was left
I put it in the gambling pot
I wasted on a bet

Sure it was a dead cert win
I could not loose
I have a better chance
Of singing the blues

Come on i shouted
Run like the wind
It wasnt to be
I spent all i could spend

I took a risk
Thats the price you pay
When blowing your money
happiness and wealth away

So as i lay here in this field
In the wilted flowers you see
The pot at the end of the rainbow
Doesnt really bother me

Where have you gone

Why do I wait for you to come back

I should walk out now

And never look back

The pain you inflict over and over again

Life is just not the same anymore

Not since you decided to run away

Not since you decided to walk out the door

Leaving my heart torn on the floor

So when the rain falls from the sky

You know im somewhere

Thinking of you

Having a good old cry

I hold your old baggy shirt

It smells of you

I clutch it close

Oh how I wish it was you

They say that times a healer

That I will move on from here

But to forget you after all this time

Just doesn’t seem real somehow

As I turn to watch the waves crash against the rocks

A familiar voice makes me stop

Hello there Kathy

This voice calls to me

I hope and pray when I turn

It is you I see

There you are before my eyes

Eyes so big and blue

A smile to my surprise

You thought about me night and day

You were always on my mind

Oh how I wish I could really touch you

Your memory is all you left behind

I had seen you as clear as day

As if you had never gone away

But it was only my imagination and wondering mind

That captured your image in my memory

How I miss you

You were so kind

What do you think

When your laying in your bed at night
 What do you think of
 What makes you blink
 Is it me that keeps you awake

Is it me that made you wonder
 Of what could of been
 Is it me that makes you better
 Or are you just the same

Take a breath
 As if it were your last
 Keep me with you darling
 Make your dreams last

I watch over you
 As you slip away into a sleep
 Not that you will awake again
 But we will meet again some day
So until then my love
 I wrap you in my arms
 Close your eyes
 Now your gone but never forgotton

You will lay your head in a different place
 You will rest easy now
 No fight left to fight
 Good night sleep tight

Stormy Paths

Move me like a mountain
Shake me like a leave on a tree
Share our lives together
In the here and now

When the rain stops
The sun comes out
Be my knight in shinning armour
Take me in your arms tonight

You rock my world
I hope i move yours too
Two peas in pod
Stuck together like glue

Who needs money
It cant buy my love
Who needs fancy gifts
All we need is each others love

Time is precious
Your my sand in a glass
Im your storm in tea cup
Love like ours will forever last

We will make our memories
Like everyones does
We will carve our path in life
This one with me you have chosen

Lets explore our world together
Lets dance in the rain
Lets make foot prints in sand
And across the mountains plain
We will struggle
But we have each other to help through the troubled times

No Regrets

Wonder what you’re doing

As I am sleeping tonight

All alone with your picture held tight

My mind is a million miles away

Wondering if you’re going to stay

So the dark clouds fill my head and the skies above

I don’t know if I can wait for you my love

I twist and I turn

In my bed at night

I wait for you to call

But no phone call in sight

So where are you my love?

Where have you gone?

You promised me the moon and stars

You promised me you would return

Empty promises

You could not keep

Never mind me

As I lay here and weep

The clock ticks away and so does night and day

Your always on my mind

I hope you feel the same

I don’t know if I can wait around anymore

I don’t know If I want to play your game

 

Why? Do you make me wait?

I remember where we met

At the old rusty gate

Well it seems now that you don’t need me anymore

You have loved me once

You must not love me you ignore

The apple tree still stands

Where the rusty gate is still

The water well is still there

Across from the old mill

As soon as I was getting over you

A postcard came from oh guess who?

Yes you

Not an explanation or an apology in sight

Not a please take me back

Oh man where is your fight

It is too late now

Time has passed by

I don’t watch the clock anymore

I don’t even cry

Why should I?

Let the memories we once had stay

Where they belong

In the past we had a blast

Don’t loose another like me so fast

Learn from your past

Lit up inside

The feeling I feel is all warm and cuddly

Its one that only certain people get

The happiness and proud feeling

Can’t be explained just yet

Sitting in the crowded room

Smiling and feeling proud

Wanting to shout it from the rooftops

Of this day we share you and I

Emotions are high

The atmosphere is good

The talking goes ahead

You gave all you could

Flashing of the cameras

Clicking away all night

Smiling, having fun on this special night

The music is played the room is alive

We couldn’t be happier for you

You celebrate with your friends

This part of your life is finished now

A new beginning starts again

You’re growing up

You’re a man now

No longer a little boy

But one thing for sure I know

You’re still the apple of my eye
