Under the Milky Way
“Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty, sound of their breath fades with the light. I think about the loveless fascination, under the milky way tonight.

It leads you… Continue reading Under the Milky Way
Starry, Starry Nights
“For they could not love you, but still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry, starry night. You took your life, as lovers often do.

Can You Get It All?

When you want somebody bad enough, well I want you now and wherever you go, I’m gonna love ya till… Continue reading Can You Get It All?
Forever and Ever
“Whenever I call you friend, I begin to think I understand. Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, forever and ever. I see myself within your eyes, and that’s all I need to show me why. Everything I do, always takes me home to you. Forever and ever, now I know my life… Continue reading Forever and Ever
Man in the Mirror
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways, because you better change. No message could have been any clearer, if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make the change. You gotta get it right, while you got the time. … Continue reading Man in the Mirror
She May Be….
“She may be the love that cannot hope to last, may come to me from shadows of the past. That I remember till the day I die. She may be the reason I survive, the why and wherefore I’m alive. The one I’ll care for through the rough and ready years. Me, I’ll take her… Continue reading She May Be….
