The Heart Of Joy

DEAR, do you sigh that your love may not stay with you,
Laugh with and play with you,
Weep with and pray with you,
All his life through?
Think, O my heart, if you never had found me,
Crept through the cere-clothes the world has wound round me,
What would you do?

Wide is the world, and so many would sigh for you,
Long for and cry for you,
Weep for and die for you,
You being you.

I only I, am the man you could sigh for,
Live for and suffer for, sorrow and die for,
Twenty lives through.

Think! Had I missed you! The world was so wide for us,
Traps on each side for us,
Nothing as guide for us,
Yet I and you
Found Life's great treasure, the last and the first, love;
Life's little things, Time and Space, do their worst, love!
What, after all, can they do?

Lyrael's Father

Father I’m listening
To all your travels and plans
Take me away
From all this troubled land

A sigh is just a sigh
And he knows you’ll never wake
Find your way home, Father
To live a little more

Father I never knew you well
You never really knew me
Wrap me in your velvet cloak
Do everything you’re meant to be

A sigh is just a sigh
And he knows you’re trying hard
Keep me safe and warm, Father
Don’t deny me

Mother she’s gone now
She was always there
Warm with compassion
Now I’m only scared

A sigh is just a sigh
You never knew me well
Tell me all your stories
Tell me about the world

Don’t live to ignore me
I didn’t do you wrong
You’ll find out soon enough
When all of you in me has gone

A Father’s meant to be there
Teach their children how to fight
In this big bad world with tough strict laws
To give it all their might

But how can I call you “Father”?
When you’re just another person to me
I have your genes and features
But not the love I need

A sigh is just a sigh
He’ll say Lyrael I’m proud
Of all the things I’ve seen you do
You’re my little girl

The Way Of It

This is the way of it, wide world over,
One is beloved, and one is the lover,
One gives and the other receives.
One lavishes all in a wild emotion,
One offers a smile for a life’s devotion,
One hopes and the other believes,
One lies awake in the night to weep,
And the other drifts off in a sweet sound sleep.

One soul is aflame with a godlike passion,
One plays with love in an idler’s fashion,
One speaks and the other hears.
One sobs, ‘I love you, ’ and wet eyes to show it,
And one laughs lightly, and says, ‘I know it, ’
With smiles for the other’s tears.
One lives for the other and nothing beside,
And the other remembers the world is wide.

This is the way of it, sad earth over,
The heart that breaks is the heart of the lover,
And the other learns to forget.
‘For what is the use in endless sorrow?
Though the sun goes down, it will rise tomorrow;
And life is not over yet.’
Oh! I know this truth, if I know no other,
That passionate Love is Pain’s own mother.

World Demise

I have found
You have found
Before you living groan
You got to pay
Live for life
Follow My steps
Exsitence to die...
Following in My steps
Do live out all My life
Do remain in constant fear
Going to sigh
And hasten to burn
Rock the one who finds
Paid to live...
With the light
...
Fall to two
Lies great demise
In silence
Counting graves lives foul
Go to die
Come to burn
World Demise
Go wilt die
The shocked earth groans
World Demise

Sappho

I sigh at day-dawn, and I sigh
When the dull day is passing by.
I sigh at evening, and again
I sigh when night brings sleep to men.
Oh! it were far better to die
Than thus forever mourn and sigh,
And in death's dreamless sleep to be
Unconscious that none weep for me;
Eased from my weight of heaviness,
Forgetful of forgetfulness,
Resting from care and pain and sorrow
Thro' the long night that knows no morrow;
Living unloved, to die unknown,
Unwept, untended, and alone.

You & I

Here we are on earth together,
Its you and i,
God has made us fall in love, its true,
Ive really found someone like you,
Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,
That you will be by my side
To see me through,
Until my life is through,
Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,
In love you and i, you and i, you and i,
I am glad at least in my life I found someone
That may not be here forever to see me through,
But I found strength in you,
I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day,
Because thats all that I am living for, you see,
Dont worry what happens to me.
Cause in my mind, you will stay here always,
In love, you and i, you and i, you and i, you and i
In my mind we can conquer the world
In love, you and i, you and i, you and i.

Whole Wide World

Written by dewey bunnell, 1994
Found on hourglass.
Now the leaves are blowin
Down the avenue
And the bells are ringing
The love that I found in you
All around the city
Before the winter snow
The sidewalks are so busy
But I wouldnt even know
cause all the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Dont mean nothin if you aint got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
The summer was unending
I had to see it through
No use in my pretending
I love everything you do
All the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Dont mean nothin if you aint got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
Dragonflies dipped on the swimming pool
By july I had to keep my cool
(you were shining) you were shining like a living jewel
Inside I knew
Time stood still with you
And all the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Dont mean nothin if you aint got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
With me, with me
With me, with me ...

What Makes The World Go round

Once I was a fool dreamin my life away, and then yesterday I found you
Lookin for me, draggin your heart around at the lost and found
I love you, youre the only one who could make me feel love was smart
I feel you deep inside of me, beatin up against my heart
And I found out, I found out, what makes the world go round
Oh I found out, really found out, what makes the world go round
You came up to me, turnin my head around, I was hangin on
Until you looked up at me, thrashin your bedroom eyes, I was paralyzed
I love you, youre the only one who could make me feel love was smart
I feel you deep inside of me, beatin up against my heart
Chorus:
And I found out, oh I found out, what makes the world go round
I found out, really found out, what makes the world go round and round
And I found out, really found out, what makes the world go round
I found out, really found out, what makes the world go round
Whenever I touch you, you know that I want you
I love you forever, whenever youre ready
Chorus repeats out...

Never The Less/as Time Goes By

(b. kalmer and h. ruby/h. hupfeld)
Maybe Im right and maybe Im wrong
Maybe Im weak and maybe Im strong
But never the less Im in love with you
Maybe Ill win and maybe Ill lose
And maybe Im in for crying the blues
But never the less Im in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances Im taking
Fine at the start
Then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe Ill live a life of regret
And maybe Ill give much more than I get
But never the less
Im in love with you
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when true love is true
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jeaslousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Its still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
But never the less
Im in love with you
Never the less Im in love

Song

Sweetest love, I do not go,
For weariness of thee,
Nor in hope the world can show
A fitter love for me;
But since that I
Must die at last, 'tis best
To use myself in jest
Thus by feign'd deaths to die.

Yesternight the sun went hence,
And yet is here today;
He hath no desire nor sense,
Nor half so short a way:
Then fear not me,
But believe that I shall make
Speedier journeys, since I take
More wings and spurs than he.

O how feeble is man's power,
That if good fortune fall,
Cannot add another hour,
Nor a lost hour recall!
But come bad chance,
And we join to'it our strength,
And we teach it art and length,
Itself o'er us to'advance.

When thou sigh'st, thou sigh'st not wind,
But sigh'st my soul away;
When thou weep'st, unkindly kind,
My life's blood doth decay.
It cannot be
That thou lov'st me, as thou say'st,
If in thine my life thou waste,
That art the best of me.

Let not thy divining heart
Forethink me any ill;
Destiny may take thy part,
And may thy fears fulfil;
But think that we
Are but turn'd aside to sleep;
They who one another keep
Alive, ne'er parted be.

Song #5

I would not feign a single sigh
Nor weep a single tear for thee:
The soul within these orbs burns dry;
A desert spreads where love should be.
I would not be a worm to crawl
A writhing suppliant in thy way;
For love is life, is heaven, and all
The beams of an immortal day.

For sighs are idle things and vain,
And tears for idiots vainly fall.
I would not kiss thy face again
Nor round thy shining slippers crawl.
Love is the honey, not the bee,
Nor would I turn its sweets to gall
For all the beauty found in thee,
Thy lily neck, rose cheek, and all.

I would not feign a single tale
Thy kindness or thy love to seek;
Nor sigh for Jenny of the Vale,
Her ruby smile or rosy cheek.
I would not have a pain to own
For those dark curls and those bright eyes
A frowning lip, a heart of stone,
False love and folly I despise.

Sleep Here to arise some where!

Life is a dream
only a dream
Not full of cream
Only we scream,

In Joy or pain
All that is vain,
When we lose restrain
We take too much strain,
only to fall in pain!

Life is life all around,
No meaning ever found,
Only going round and round
From space to ground
Ground to space is another
round!

Life has several crew
anyone can any moment screw
Everyone is captain
Aim is to contain
By that restrain,
Love and life simply both teach and Train
Without any strain!

So many people sigh
And say
To hell with this world,
Look into their eyes,
They live in the hell
they are not well, For them nothing is well,
Only like that they tell,
Somewhere their feathered hat
of pride fell!

Life is a dream,
And a dream Only continued indefinitely,
It is dream in which
We feel the difference between
real and dream,
Reality is deep sleep,
And slept long before somewhere,
Arise here to sleep Someday,
Only to awaken in dream!
Death is that sleep,
From this house carries only to
give another house!

A Perfect World

In a perfect world,
Death would never be.
Life would be forever
And last eternally.

In a perfect world
You'd still be by our side,
Lighting up our happy lives.
You never would have died.

In a perfect world,
Sadness would not be found.
Love and life, and happiness
Forever would abound.

We Believe that perfect world
Awaits us when we die.
A world where eternal bliss
Is found in Heaven's sky.

We'll cling to faith and hope,
For God is a God of love.
And then in time we'll join you
In that perfect world above.

Life Begins When Youre In Love

Brown / victor schertzinger / andrew acquarulo ackers
Life begins when youre in love
You have the whole world before you
When youve found the one
The only one to love and adore you
And when you learn the sigh of it
The long of it, the cry of it
Life begins when cupid wins
And youre in love

Future World

If youre out there all alone
And you dont know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me
To future world
And if youre running through your life
And you dont know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be
In future world
We all live in happiness
Our life is full of joy
We say the world tomorowwithout fear
The feeling of togetherness
Is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
Cause we all live in future world
A world thats full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me - future world
You say youd like to stay
But this is not your time
Go back, find qour own way
To future world
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of future world
One day youll live in happiness
With a heart thats full of joy
Youii say the world tomorrow
Without fear
The feeling of togetherness
Wil I be at your side
Youll say you love your life
And youll know why
Cause we all live in future world
A world thats full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me - future world
Scream it out
Cause we all live in future world
A world thats full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me - future world

Weep Not My Love

Weep not for me when I am gone,
weep not for me as life is never long.
Weep not for me as you must live
and be ever strong.
Our love will last eternally
and when you need me, I will be there.
I will be that whisper in your ear,
that whisper that no one else can hear.
Weep not for me my love
you must be strong and live your life long.
Even though I am gone weep not for me
as this is a phase, we all one day must go through.
Though I go first, my love never fear
for when your time come I’ll be waiting here for you.

Utterly In Love With Love

I'm utterly in love with love!
My lips are living proof!
They say that you can't get enough,
Hey, man, ain't that the truth?
You walk on air, your thoughts on fire!
You drift like clouds on high...
You think of whom you most desire,
Then sigh... and sigh... and sigh...

Of yeah, I think I've got it bad...
This time, no getting out...
It's not a part time, passing fad...
It's what life's all about!
That special one, that precious one,
That one your heart beats for!
Oh, dear... I'm well and truly done...
A sucker for amour!

I'm utterly in love with love!
I'm writing poems, too...
You know, that really cheesy stuff
That sticks to you like glue!
It's not my fault! Blame her, not me!
She's so adorable!
They say love's for eternity...
If so, how wonderful...

My Childhood's Home

I HAVE tasted each varied pleasure,
And drunk of the cup of delight;
I have danced to the gayest measure
In the halls of dazzling light.
I have dwelt in a blaze of splendour,
And stood in the courts of kings;
I have snatched at each toy that could render
More rapid the flight of Time's wings.
But vainly I've sought for joy or peace,
In that life of light and shade;
And I turn with a sigh to my own dear home-
The home where my childhood played!

When jewels are sparkling round me,
And dazzling with their rays,
I weep for the ties that bound me
In life's first early days.
I sigh for one of the sunny hours
Ere day was turned to-night;
For one of my nosegays of fresh wild flowers,
Instead of those jewels bright.
I weep when I gaze on the scentless buds
Which never can bloom or fade;
And I turn with a sigh to those gay green fields-
The home where my childhood played.
