You and A Rose

The rose is a pretty flower
That any garden can grow
A rose placed next to you
I now have two beauties in a row

You Love Someone Else

I'll sing you my song
Though I know that it's wrong
Together is where we belong
But together is where we'll never be

In School

When I was young and went to school
I learned my lessons well
But in school they never taught me
That love could be so swell

Thought # 18

My heart has been broken once
My heart has been broken twice
I won’t ever love again
I won’t let my heart pay that price

Hurting and Crying

Our love was magic
Magic was our love
I hope one day soon
We can work that magic again

We once fell in love
Without even trying
But we left each other
Alone, hurt and crying

The Supreme Court

Nine people sit
Nine people listen
Nine people will decide
Whether to overturn a law
Or just let it ride

Nine people can right a wrong
Nine people who make law
These nine people I believe
Have an unenviable chore

Our World of Love

A world no one else can penetrate
A world only we two share
A world full of memories all our own
A world where tears have been shed
A world where laughter has rung very loud
A world we built ourselves
Our own little world of love

No Sun Today

No sun today
Only clouds and rain
All this stormy weather
I know is to blame

For the way I'm feeling
All I want to do is sleep
What good is the spring time
If sunny weather we can't keep

The sun should be shining
The flowers all in bloom
But instead of a spring time feeling
It seems all there is, is gloom

You Showed Me Happy

I thought that I was happy
I thought that I was satisfied
But then I met you
And I knew
I wasn't happy or
Satisfied at all
You became my friend
Then we became lovers
And you loved me
Better then I've ever been loved before
And you always leave me
Wanting so much more
I thought that I was happy
Until you showed me
What happy really is

I Want a Night

I want a night
To spend with you
I want a night
To love you through

I want a night
With you next to me
I want a night
For us to see

I want a night
To make love
I want a night under
The stars above

I want a night
So you can see
That I want you always
Next to me
