Dear is your heart and close your hand, I relinquish all to love's dysmorphic command.

So near at hand (our eyes o'erlooked its nearness
In search of distant things)
A dear dream lay--perchance to grow in dearness
Had we but felt its wings
Astir. The air our very breathing fanned
It was so near at hand.
Once, many days ago, we almost held it,
The love we so desired;
But our shut eyes saw not, and fate dispelled it
Before our pulses fired
To flame, and errant fortune bade us stand
Hand almost touching hand.
I sometimes think had we two been discerning,
The by-path hid away
From others' eyes had then revealed its turning
To us, nor led astray
Our footsteps, guiding us into love's land
That lay so near at hand.
So near at hand, dear heart, could we have known it!
Throughout those dreamy hours,
Had either loved, or loving had we shown it,
Response had sure been ours;
We did not know that heart could heart command,
And love so near at hand!
What then availed the red wine's subtle glisten?
We passed it blindly by,
And now what profit that we wait and listen
Each for the other's heart beat? Ah! the cry
Of love o'erlooked still lingers, you and I
Sought heaven afar, we did not understand
'Twas--once so near at hand.

Until The Real Thing Comes Along
I'd work for you, I'd even slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move the earth for you
To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the skies for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, baby, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd lie for you, I'll cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die for you
But if that isn't love, it's gonna have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Until the real thing comes along

Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Sammy kahn / saul chaplin / mann holiner / alberta nichols / l.e. freeman
Id wait for you
Id slave for you
Id be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isnt love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Id gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
If that isnt love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just cant make you understand
Ill always love you darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
Id lie for you
Id sigh for you
Id tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isnt love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just cant make you understand
Ill always love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
Id lie for you
Id cry for you
Id lay my body down and die tor you
If that isnt love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

you are the length to the thick,
(endless love)

o' love
wondering not but,
is my heart there?
or has it faded?
is it beating?
or has it deflated?

so close to mine and there
to stone me a love with care

with eyes of love and share
love with her that dare
to share,
i ask with no one...

with you, o' dear love?
wont you escape my heart?
wont you run away from love?
wont you fade away from love?
come stay with me, o' dear love
come lay with me, not tear love
some blame with you, but care love

((o' love!))
you are the string to every heart
((dear love!))
you are the peace to my heart
((love, o' love!))

(John Farrar)
No other face would take you off my mind
You\\\\\\\'re so refined
You\\\\\\\'re much too kind
I have to warn you I\\\\\\\'m never gonna set you free
\\\\\\\'Cause I was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever you\\\\\\\'re away from me
Wherever you go
You\\\\\\\'re never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I\\\\\\\'m where you are
You better never stray
Cos I\\\\\\\'ll never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart\\\\\\\'s aflame
I feel the same
I\\\\\\\'d fall apart dear if you let the feelin\\\\\\\' end
Don\\\\\\\'t break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever you\\\\\\\'re away from me
Wherever you go
You\\\\\\\'re never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I\\\\\\\'m where you are
You better never stray
Cos I\\\\\\\'ll never be far away

Close Again
Written by orbison/melson.
When evening shadows fall.
Im not lonely at all.
Now that youre with me I recall.
How much I love you.
Close again.
Now Im alright, tonight were close again.
Touching your hand means that were close again.
Reaching each other now within
At last were two are really close again.
How long has it been since we loved like this? ,
Ill never ever know.
It seems like only yesterday.
Yet it seems so long ago.
Close again.
Down deep inside were both are close again.
A love that died can be alive again.
I can survive because youve let me in.
Into your heart so very close again.
So love me,like you loved me when you loved me,
And say thats all you want to do.
I am what I am,and all that I am.
Is in love with you,and only you.
So close again.
Thats all that matter,were close again.
Dreams that were scattered are close again.
Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.
Cant help but cry.
For you and I are close again.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary....
this heart of mine is been confused
if it is love, infatuation or crush
he always in my thoughts all day and night
that keeps lingering on my mind
Dear diary....
here I’ am smiling all alone
and thinking him all day long
and see him face closer to mine
walking hand and hand
talking laughing and feeling
Dear diary.....
I don’t know what to do?
Tell me where do I start
I miss him each day of my life
can't explain this feeling I have
if it is madness... when it will last?
Dear diary....
I wonder what would happen next?
Song of my heart will be please
this feeling soon will reveal
a love I have been hidden and care about
Dear diary... tell me now

Hand On My Heart
Rescue me
I cant dream this dream any more, my dream oh my dream
Set me free
I keep holdin on but
I dont know what for
All I know
Is that Ive breathed your name for what feels like a lifetime
I cant let go, youre a part of me
And I die each time
I lose a little more of you
And I look for a sign, to give me hope
Well find a love we once knew
And all I know
Is when were face to face when theres no one between us
With one last embrace, well let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in the dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Its not enough, to simply talk about love
As if it were in our control
Now as I struggle with the past, I cant think about the future
Its so hard to let go
And all I know
Is I still whisper your name, girl it wont be the last time
As our lives go separate ways
And let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Only you, lonely me

Dear Heart Part 1
Dear heart are you opening up to let someone in,
someone that's more than just a friend,
dear heart are you giving it all away,
the love you conceal,
are you letting it stray,
dear heart be careful what you do,
I couldn't live if he broke you,
dear heart did you find the one you need,
are you finally out there and finally free,
dear heart are you beating with passion and grace,
do you seem to beat faster,
when you see his face,
dear heart are you saying that this is true,
you're not alone now,
because I love him too.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
(words & music by ewan maccoll)
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa
Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa
Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

linger
Have a walk my dear
I encourage you
Just beyond and into the shade purple
Under my sunset into a yawning moment
When your eyes are dried
you will hold close inside my heart
until the last thought
You remember me
More than this
Take apart and then relinquish
as I catch you in thoughts
under every sunset fragrance
In love in shadows of lavender familiar
long, narrow, pale-green eyes
in leaves and purple flowers mine
When dried, they keep their fragrance
leisurely, lingering of reluctance
for a long, long time.

Fire of Stone
limit my day of stay; I am not a stone but
a fire that close and kindle the cooled Heart
in your beautiful dream; the road comes to
dark without the light, dear someone …
long did I wish for your presence, as far
as the distance of the ocean, I travel up and
high in the blue sky I fly, just to be with
your side, dear heart …
lend me your moment, and guide my
ways to reach you, wherever pain I rejoice
for nothing will soften my heart, than to
love you deep in my soul, my dear hope my
hope …
I come to float far beyond the wrapped
in your vintage arm, and follows the breath
with you dear goodbye; that day will be the
forever you, my dear love …
flow my spark, for I will be in your fire …..

So Close To My Heart.....
So close to my heart,
Were do I Draw the line of what is yours
and what is mine?
So close to my heart,
Will I ever walk away, or stay
and continue to be taken?
So close to my heart,
Will I ever be free?
So close to my heart,
I can't bear you're distance,
So close to my heart,
I can't bear you're nearness.
So close to my heart,
Still can't bare your touch
For it gives forgiveness & also my love.
So close to my heart,
Your the most wonerful gift,
I could have ever recieved.
If only you turned out as I pictures in my
dreams.
So close to my heart,
Your my shining star.
So when I make my wish stop & remember,
Who & what you really are.
Which is the man I onced loved, with every beat of my heart,
And the man I'll always treasure, and keep inside my heart.

Dear Guardian Angel
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for watching over me
Dear Guardian Angel
You are oh so sweet
You protect me from the wrong
And lead me to the right
If I’m lost in the dark
You take me to the light
Dear Guardian Angel
Why do you care?
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for always being there
You take my hand
And wipe away my tears
You hold me close
And fight away my fears
Dear Guardian Angel
Please stay close to me
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you, I know you’ll always believe
You watch me sleeping quietly
You caress my face lovingly
You brush my bangs out of my eyes
You give me sunny skies
Dear Guardian Angel
Can I make it up to you?
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for always being true
Guardian Angel
I thank you
Guardian Angel…
I thank you

Since You Left
My dear, since you left
Rain of tears have been
Falling down my eyes.
My dear, when you left
My eyes knew no smile,
You took all with you
When you left.
My dear, what would I do
If not for your beautyful smile.
My dear, since you left
This cold has become
My best friend without
You to hold?
Since you left, my dear
Since you left.
My life knew no other you.
I love you my dear,
I love you.
Would you come back now
And stay as close to my heart
Like you were,
Before you left.
Now you know I love you
My dear, I love you.

I Reside in Your Head
I reside in your head I am in command
with camerae eye that can click a billion
reasons to do, to love, to hate,
to sign a truce or go to war,
or feel a single grain of sand.
I cast the net over your mind
as you surf thru your life,
Innate action with no command, no thought,
bats your eyes and beats your heart,
as loves wonder you have to find.
A crossed path in the sunday park
You see her face, the one,
the very first sight of her stops dead
my control of you.
Your eyesight’s both fuse loving the fusions spark,
A connection of divinity heralds,
something far stronger than a nice first sight.
Love is in the air I’m losing command,
you touch and smile and call her Judy,
love connects you both dear Gerald
which you accept for I am
yourself

And suddenly Im where you are
You better never stray
Cos Ill never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My hearts aflame

Id fall apart dear if you let the feelin end
Dont break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever youre away from me

I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly Im where you are

Tenacıous Love
How can you tell my heart not to love?
When its nature will not have it any other way
A heart n’ love are meant to fit like “Hand in glove”
Please pardon my use of this old n’ worn cliché
As the most powerful emotion love is most tenacious
Bravely hanging on when other feelings fail
True love is bold, shameless n’ audacious
Loves the night song of the amorous nightingale
Come now beloved, take my steady hand
Let us explore where few souls have gone before
With love a vast universe is ours to command
With love ‘neath strong wings we’ll soar
God knows our love was meant to be
As we were blessed by His Authority
