Your Voice
05:17
|
|||
A wolf’s mournful howl on a Canadian night
A loon’s plaintive call as it rises in flight
An ocean wave on a distant shore
A mountain waterfall’s powerful roar
A child’s laugh expressing such pleasure
A kitten’s purr at its favorite treasure
A lover’s sigh at an intimate stroke
The sound of your voice will always evoke
The wind in the trees
And the following breeze
A rainfall at dusk
And a sudden wind gust
The wind in the trees
And the following breeze
A rainfall at dusk
And a sudden wind gust
Raindrops and melodies
A note or a tone
A winter’s song
A heartbreaking moan
A wolf’s mournful howl on a Canadian night
A loon’s plaintive call as it rises in flight
An ocean wave on a distant shore
A mountain waterfall’s powerful roar
A minor key shivering the spine
A choir’s breath at the last bar line
A violin bow caressing a string
A four-part harmonies overtone ring
Choose one, choose another
Whatever your choice
But all that you’ll find
Is a writer at a loss for words
To describe…
Your voice

Serenity in Blue
07:23
|
|||
On that day When I met you
You sang an elegy and a love song
Of serenity in blue
Sang into the silence
Of my lonely solitude
A love song and a bitter
Sweet etude
You’re the one
My soul renewed
Creating harmonies until I found
A serenity in blue
Your love was a prelude
To a hymn I’d never heard
I learnt it and I sang it
Word for word
And then
Taking shelter
In the safety
Of your touch
Out of my mind
I loved you far too much
Endlessly
You sang your song to me
Sang so perfectly
Eternity
Is what you promised me
Truly, madly, deeply, endless love
In your arms I loved you
And forgot about the pain
Love forever feeling pleasure body shiver oh
And then no more
Your love has gone
I’m lonely again
All the love I gave
The greatest love ever known, But
Here on my own now
I’m alone
With one lie
Or was it two
You killed the melody and the feeling
Of serenity in blue
Now when I look back
At the goods times and the bad
The love songs and the sad songs
We once had
Here alone
I think of you
As days grow short I sigh and I recall
My sincerity in blue
Scream into the silence
Of my lonely solitude
Your love was just a selfish Interlude
And then
Taking shelter
In the safety
Of your touch
Out of my mind
I loved you far too much
Endlessly
You sang your song to me
Sang so perfectly
Eternity
Is what you promised me
Truly, madly, deeply, endless love

Sleepy Time
02:38
|

Close your eyes while I hold you
And I rock you, sleepy time
Close your eyes cause I love you
You are so new, sleepy time
Close your eyes go to sleep now
You are safe now, sleepy time
Close your eyes this is my vow
I love you now, sleepy time
Close your eyes as the day ends
And feel my love all around
Close your eyes my love transcends
As the night comes tumbling down
As the night comes tumbling down
Close your eyes and I’ll stay near
While you rest here, sleepy time
So close your eyes you need not fear
I’ll always be here, sleepy time
I’ll always be here, sleepy time

Time to Say Goodnight
03:04
|
|||
Sunny days in summer
Wind and rain in fall
Snow and frost in winter
You’ll learn to love it all
The world is full of many things
My mother showed to me
Like cats and birds and mountain springs
And lakes and sky and sea
Love is all that’s needed
Love will make things right
The day is almost over
It’s time to say goodnight
Sleep my little darling
Safely in your bed
Dream a world made better
And peaceful days ahead
And as you grow much older
There’s much for you to learn
Like good and bad and right and wrong
And love will keep you warm
Love is all that’s needed
Love will make things right
But now the day has ended
It’s time to say goodnight

For Someone Else
06:00
|
|||
He was my intended
Proposed to me on bended
My lover
There would be no other
To hold me near always
For good for bad and for all days
But now I’m hurting
While he’s out flirting
So I sit alone in my room
A bride without a groom
Those sunny days
Fade to shades of greys
Now I know the key but not the tune
I see the smiles for someone else
The flowers and rice for someone else
The families gather round
They come from out of town
She wears a snow white gown
For someone else
So why do I care
That life’s so unfair
And why do I sigh
And why do I cry
And why can’t I sleep at night
I was a fool in love I see it now
I was blinded then I don’t know how
The nights I spent alone
Those hang-ups on the phone
The times he wasn’t home
I see it now
So why do I care
That life’s so unfair
And why do I sigh
And why do I cry
And why can’t I sleep at night
Alone once again now I’m back at the start
With nothing but pain to fill my heart
The man I thought I knew
Found another love to woo
Now he shares a love so true
With someone else
Guess if I put my heart on the shelf
And drink to life and drink to health
If love comes round again
I’ll forget about the pain
And do it all again
For someone else

The Tear
05:12
|
|||
I look at you and I see
The passionate serenity
That you always shared with me
But the tear that you cried
That you wiped with your glove
It’s the tear that you cried
Filled me with love
Soft rains of spring
Make everything
New and exciting
Sad in the sky
Clouds hurry by
Then we were fighting
Living alone through winter’s night
Sleepless till the dawn sunlight
Can words ever be put right
Was it me was it you
Can we ever renew
The feelings we knew
Before the tear that you cried
In the night
Sad memories still
Burn in my heart
Tears that you cried
On our last night
Tear me apart
Soft rains of spring
Make everything
New and exciting
Sad in the sky
Clouds hurry by
Then we were fighting
Living alone through winter’s night
Sleepless till the dawn sunlight
Can words ever be put right
Was it me was it you
Can we ever renew
The feelings we knew
Before the tear that you cried
In the night
Sad memories still
Burn in my heart
Tears that you cried
On our last night
Tear me apart

Soft Whispers
04:11
|
|||
A story of love in
A palette of blues
A love so tender
Our souls would suffuse
A love bittersweet
I’ll always remember
Soft whispers of love in the night
The summer’s soft rains
The winter’s cold sting
A heart full of pain
A bird’s broken wing
The love we once had
I’ll always remember
Soft whispers of love in the night
And here after all God only hears
My lonely voice and my bitter tears
As I look back on those tragic years
Soft whispers of love in the night
And as I look back
In my solitude
To the distant soundtrack
Of a haunting etude
The shadow of dreams
I’ll always remember
Soft whispers of love in the night
And here after all God only hears
My lonely voice and my bitter tears
As I look back on those tragic years
Soft whispers of love in the night
And here after all God only hears
My lonely voice and my bitter tears
As I look back on those tragic years
Soft whispers of love in the night

When You Go To Bed
03:52
|

When you go to bed at night
Just remember this
When the morning comes around
I’ll wake you with a kiss
When you go to bed at night
This is what I pray
That you'll wake up happy
Every single day
When you go to bed at night
You should always know
That I love every part of you
Right down to your big toe
When you go to bed at night
I thank my lucky star
That you are all I ever hoped
And how beautiful you are
When you go to bed at night
And lay you down to sleep
To dream of love and many things
Till morning sun you’ll greet
When you go to bed at night
So perfect and so new
Please please please please please
Please sleep the whole night through

Take Me Off To Dreamland
04:48
|
|||
Take me off to dreamland
Where the fairies play
Let me fall asleep tonight
And see the Milky Way
Take me off to dreamland
Where the horses fly
Safely in my bed tonight
To see the starry sky
Take me off to dreamland
Where the cats can speak
Let me go and play with them
If only for a week
Take me off to dreamland
Where I’m six feet tall
And all the knights and kings and queens
Never cease to call
Take me off to dreamland
Where it’s warm all day
And elephants dance and sit on swings
And flowers love to play
Take me off to dreamland
Where it’s really very nice
I want to go I want to go
I think I said that twice
Take me off to dreamland
But only for the night
And then please wake me up again
As soon as it is light

Joy it’s a peaceful feeling
Joy it’s my heart you’re stealing
I see the love in your eyes
And I sigh
You bring joy
And sweet songs I’ll sing you
Joy and my love I’ll bring you
Cause you just take my breath away each day
You bring my life completeness
Warm hugs and gentle sweetness
And you know it’s true I will always love you
All my life

Joy I will keep on sharing
You’ll always be my lovely boy
Who brings me…

Just Drift Away
04:30
|
|||
And now the day is over
Just close your lovely eyes
In my loving arms
Till morning sun arise
And now the day is over
And stars caress the sky
I’ll lay you gently down
And sing this lullaby
And now the day is over
And stars caress the sky
I’ll lay you gently down
And sing this lullaby
And through the silent night
Just close your eyes
And feel my loving breath
And hear my quiet sighs
Drift Away Drift Away
Drift Away Into the night
For I am a poet
My words complete the tune
I wrote this song one night
Beneath a harvest moon
And if you hold my hand
I’ll sing to you
As day turns into night
I’ll love you too
Drift Away Drift Away
Just drift Away Into the night
Drift Away Drift Away
Just drift away Into the night
