Related quotes: Later in my life, I'm...

Later in my life, I'm going to look back and smile and be very fulfilled. I know that if I don't give it my all right now I'll regret it later. That's very important to me, because I've worked all my life to have this.

Regrets I Do Not Keep

Loosing your innocence is easy,
Like lying to your mom about having another cookie,
Doing something you'll regret, is easy.

Sometimes you have something so great,
And you don't know how important it is,
you don't see it's worth until it's too late,
You don't hold it to your heart, you don't keep it safe,
And then you lose it, and you see, it was great.

Falling to a higher power of want is so easy,
Like waving at a stranger in a car you pass on your way to work,
Becoming a victim to sin and temptation is easy.

So many things in life are given to you to keep,
And some of them you could never give up,
Like the right to show your feelings, the right to smile, to weep,
And these things you take as a given, yet they are truly a gift.
And some of these gifts we treat like nothing, some we do not keep.

Becoming and doing something you would never become or do is easy,
Like doing something before you think,
Falling into the hole of regret is easy.

In life you must live for what you have, not the past.
You must realize what you did and notice how it hurt you so,
But never regret what you have done, for that shall only form a cast,
A cast of what you were, one that keeps you still in a solid state,
You must learn; never live in the past.

I believe in the past, yet it is the present I keep,
I move on past things i have done, I do not look back,
For these regrets, I do not keep.

Just One Smile

Smile, smile and smile,
Will make your life versatile,
Like a linn in the isle.

Smile can give you boundless joy,
It is the greatest eternal toy.
If smile is absent,
Your life will destroy.

Smile, smile and rise,
Your life would be a paradise.
Your heart will gush and face will shine,
Your life would be lissom and divine.

So please,

Smile, smile, smile and smile,
Journey of life would become agile.

To live on the real life rails

We often look for the one to be ideal,
but when we meet the one who is real
we give foolish criteria
and it looks as a mystery.
Expecting the one from the fairy tales
we very often get only fails.
We want to get everything at once,
to get our chance.
As a result we burn the time,
loose the last dime.
May be it’s more important just to live,
think how to give,
not only to take
or live for someone’s sake.
Our life is the only one
and all in it has to be done
so that not to regret,
may be something to forget,
think what is more important,
get out of the routine,
to build our own mooring,
and…during the life time
listen to the chime,
and…hear the bells
which tell how to live,
how to love,
how to create the things
I’ve told you above,
without any tales
but on the real life rails.

Give A Little Bit Of Smile

Friends of the universe
I welcome you all
To the world of sunshine and laughter
Theres so much to see if only you could see
That life is so merry, so jolly and free
Come listen to me and hear what I say
Just a little favor from society
cause it only needs a muscle to be happy
So come and show it and give all the love
Refrain:
Give a little bit of smile
And the world would smile too
Yes, a little bit of smile
And the sun will shine through
Give a little bit of smile
Spread the cheers now
Spread them smile after smile
Life will be easy, I promise youll see
Open up your eyes to things of beauty
And remember the world will find its glory
If you and me will only agree
Give a little bit of smile
And the world would smile too
Yes, a little bit of smile
And the sun will shine through
Give a little bit of smile
Spread the cheers now
Spread them wide like the bird
That keeps on flying in the sky
Like the child who listens to a lullaby
Theres a smile that we can share together
Give that smile and love one another
Give a little bit of smile
And the world would smile too
Yes, a little bit of smile
And the sun will shine through
Give a little bit of smile
Spread the cheers now
Spread them smile after smile
A little bit of smile

I Wanna Live

I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself

I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool

I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I want to live

I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

As I load my pistol
Fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I want to live

I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

In The Funeral

I worked alone at his funeral
wished to be mine

I say

you left me alone in this scary world

so I closed my eyes
hoping wind will come to change the places.

I worked to the west
and saw his face
smile and raising up sky

I asked him why you leave me alone
but he gone away...
away from me.

I'm now in the south
in the place we met for the first time
I looked around, searching for you
just for luxury life

I woke up to realize
my BROTHER has gone

I worked at his funeral
holding with me all my sorrow

even if life and people
separate us..
I'm going to love you in my whole life
even if you are going to be away from me
I always wanted to be with you out there.

Simplicity

You were the last friend i ever made
But the bestest
The very bestest

Your heart sang me a serenade
And i kept it
Of course i kept it

Now i may have gone
But you're still my number one
And i don't regret it
How could i regret it?
I love you

So now i may be six-foot under
But i hope you know you made my life a wonder

I cannot believe i meant something to you
If i could still smile i would
An in spirit i do

I'll watch over you
And make you safe
And happy
Don't worry
I'm still here

I just want to thank you
For what you give to me
A happy
Lovable life
In simplicity

Something I Shall Never Do

Something I shall never do is regret how I felt about you

When the heartbreak first set in
It hurt for so long and so bad

But that was then and I've moved on
I dont hold any grudges
As a matter of fact I'm actually kind of glad

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know the things I now do
If it wasn for you I would still be a naive little girl without a clue

Now that I've moved on
And worked pass the heartache and pain
Me and you can go back to being good friends again

Something I shall never do is regret having loved you

Because you unknowingly taught me a life lesson
One that I'm sure I'll always use

Even though I had to learn the hard
In the end I don't mind at all
Because I know that if I had a chance to go back and change time
For you I would still fall

Give Back My Soul

Give back my soul,
You took it away one day,
Or I had given you,
On rent some day,
Give back my soul.

Life had happened before,
Life had happened since,
Life will happen henceforth,
But give back my soul.

The soul was my property sole;
The loss I would not bear
I have nobody to console,
Please give back my soul.

I want those happy days back,
I want those serene times back,
I want those joyous memories back,
Give back my Soul.

I know you won't come back,
For you have a life wonderful;
I know you won't look back,
For you have a companion cheerful;
Give back my soul.

Now people too say,
You were soulful once,
What happened?
You look soulless now,
Give back my soul.

My soul was mine.
I trusted you mine.
I gave you my soul.
Give back my Soul.

The body is dying.
The soul is flying.
The eternity shall happen;
For the sake of,
You and Mine.

Regrets

I regret those hurtful words
And every meaningless threat
That was made

I regret walking away angry
When we both
Should have stayed

I regret our lack of effort
We should have worked our problems through

But the biggest regret of all?
Is not expressing
Just how much I love you

Faking a Smile

Whenever u see me
a smile resides on my face
i look happy, merry and alive
i look as if everything is good in my life
well just want to tell you the truth today
its not as it seems
the real picture is not good enough
behind that smile is hidden
one hell amount of other emotions
regret, dissappointment, regret and much
but still i smile..
or may be just fake a smile
so that u dont suffer my pain
earlier it was difficult to hide the truth behind the smile
but now it has become a habit of mine
i dont know when the smile would be real
may b tomorrow or day after
or may b never
but let me teel one more thing now
its not very difficult to fake a smile somehow...........

Situation: Critical

after all this time
you think somebody might of learned
their lesson
after everything is gone then
what you gonna do
you think you might want to hold back
you think you might want to give back
you think you might want to turn back
somehow things must change
and it's got to be for the better
someday soon will bring
peace and love to share
with your brother
you think it might be too hard
you think it might be too far
you think it might take too long
chorus
situation's critical
in your life
situation's critical
in your life
in your life
you might not ever think that
what you do makes a difference
but if you'd only try
you might save someone's life
so what you gonna do
it's always up to you but
don't don't don't you give up
don't don't don't you give up
don't don't don't you give up
'cause when you think about it
you got to give it all you've got to give
you got to get back in and try it again
'cause that's the only way to make it today

Aftermath

Now the radio stutters. snaps to life.
Some sour song that sets it right.
And when London falls
He'd like to call
But the stars collide.
They're beautiful and much maligned.
In a universe where you see the worst,
And it's up to you to fix it.
Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all
It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd.
There is no doubt. it's this, here, now.
And you close your eyes.
He's not coming back.
So you work it out, overfeed the cat.
And the plants are dry and they need to drink.
So you do your best. and you flood the sink.
Sit down in the kitchen and cry.
Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all
Now the universe left you for a runners lap.
It feels like home when it comes crashing back.
And it makes you laugh
And it makes you cry,
When London falls
And you're still alive.
The radio stutters,
It makes you laugh
And the aftermath,
Open up your eyes.
You're so alive.
Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all

Monkey Blood

I cut myself to share my monkey blood.
To show you what we're all made of.
I'm no different than you.
I'm no better than you.
Then you, then you..,

Still everyday you question it.
A gift god has given.
Someday hopefully I'm forgiven.
A blessing totally taken for granted.
But at the time I had no idea how special I really was.
