Words
Words live on and on and on.
Never do they die.
They fill the ears of listeners
until they say goodbye.
Then the listener's progeny
hear them once again
as they repeat themselves like echoes
from the mouth or from the pen.

Goodbye To You
Goodbye to you, goodbye to broken hearts,
Goodbye to romance, hiding in the dark,
Nights that leave a scar.
Goodbye to you, goodbye to empty cards,
Goodbye to this ball of bliss,
Im dancing from your arms.
And I fill the bedroom with silent visions of rain.
And I paint the morning with echoes from pleasure in pain.
I dont want to touch emotions, I just got to run away.
Electric blue like oceans, wild like lovers sway.
Goodbye to you...
And I seal the pillow and shatter dreams down the hall.
And I hang the heartache like pictures on the wall.
Can you hear the sound of angels theyre playing hurting games?
Well, Im a stranger when Im leaving, I was a stranger when I came.
Goodbye to you...

Echoes Of Love
(words & music by roberts - bachelor)
Though you are gone, I still wear your ring
Theyre playing the song we used to sing
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Are coming to me out of the past
The letters you wrote I treasure them so
And I hear your voice wherever I go
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Are coming to me out of the past
In the rustle of a breeze; in the patter of the rain
In the rushing of the seas, all I hear is your name
Come back my love and once you are near
Darling I know no more will I hear
Echoes of love, echoes of love
cause youll be with me right in my heart
Echoes of love, echoes of love
cause youll be with me right in my heart

Radio Song
Hey, I cant find nothing on the radio
Yo! turn to that station
The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I cant hear it
When I got to the house
And I called you out
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
Its that same sing song on the radio
It makes me sad
I meant to turn it off
To say goodbye
To leave in quiet
That radio song
Hey hey hey
Ive everything to show
Ive everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen
When I got to the show
Yo ho ho
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
Its that same sing song, and the dj sucks
It makes me sad
I tried to turn it off
To say goodbye my love
That radio song
Hey hey hey
The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I cant hear it
Yeah
I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song
Hey hey hey
Ive everything to show
Ive everything to hide
Look into my eyes listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I cant hear it
No, I cant hear it
Hey hey hey
Check it out
What are you saying
What are you playing
Who are you obeying
Day out day in?
Baby baby baby
That stuff is driving me crazy
Djs communicate to the masses
Sex and violent classes
Now our children grow up prisoners
All their lives radio listeners

Goodbye
Before i fly and wave goodbye
I say to you "days with you are the best years of my life"
But if i don't see you anymore
Keep my words safely stored
And i'll be back i promise once more
Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye
Till i see you again
Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and i'll miss you till then
Remember me 'cause i care
Where you are and how you fare
Get in touch if the wind blows in your face
I guess it's been too much fun
We've shared and we've won
Yes the best is yet to come
Repeat chorus
That one word hurts so bad
You leave the best you've had
But you keep the faith and pray to return
Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and i'll miss you till then
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Dont Say Goodbye
(stock/aitken/waterman)
Dont say goodbye, girl (goodbye, girl)
Dont make me cry, girl (cry, girl)
cos I love you (love you)
Used to have such fun
Used to have good times
But now those days are gone
Used to have it all
Used to get on fine
But things just went wrong
Used to be in love
Thought we had it made
But everything has changed
We just grew apart
No one is to blame
** woh, time has made us strangers
Maybe we cant go on
But if love can take the changes
* dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
We could go along
Saying things were fine
But were just fooling ourselves
Maybe we should
Talk it out right now
And put things on the line
Everyone in love
Goes through times like these
Its just part of the game
I remember
I used to call your name
Woh, things dont have to be this way
Love is the answer now
Maybe we could start again today
(* repeat)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
(** repeat)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
cos youre my girl
I couldnt live without you, no
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
I want to spend my life with you
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)

Echoes in the Night
Echoes in the lonely night
leave me in the morn.
For then the noisy hours
once again are born.
And all the voices that I hear
I wish would go away.
So the echoes that still me
would also fill my day.

Based Upon The Quality Of Your Assumptions
Most of what you have mentioned to me,
I am not aware of at all.
It certainly conflicts,
With what I have come to understand.
'Surprised by that I am not.
You are amongst the many living a life,
Based upon the quality of your assumptions.
However...
I do acknowledge this.
Am I about to make attempts to convince you,
There are others ways you can validate...
Truth and its importance to achieve mental relief?
I could if I persisted,
By making to you recommendations.'
Oh?
Seriously?
No way!
'Way.'
How?
I've got to hear this.
I'm all ears.
'Well...
You could ask me directly first.
That's one way.
Or...
You could choose not to be so quick,
To repeat everything you hear...
Until you have gotten that information,
From the horse's mouth.'
You know...
I was told you say some crazy stuff.
Thanks for validating that.
I can't wait to tell others you told me,
That a horse knows more about you...
Than I already know!
Yep!
What I've heard about you is correct.
You are totally out of your mind.
You're nuts.
'I appreciate that.
And coming from you...
I regard that as a compliment.'
**You could choose not to be so quick,
To repeat everything you hear...
Until you have gotten that information,
From the horse's mouth.**
You don't know how hysterical you are.
Funny and sad at the same time.
'Trust me...
I do.
I know I have my issues.
But this too shall pass.'
Stop it. Stop it.
I am about to laugh in your face.

Say It Again
It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say
Chorus:
Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when
Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
You know it sounds so sweet
It just knocks me right up off of
My feet
To hear you talk that way
I just love to hear you say

I hear the echoes in my mind
Theyre calling to me all the time
I hear those voices start to sing
Again and again

To Hear Those Words Again
To hear those words again,
Would be music to my ears.
Eliminating all my worries,
Smashing all my fears.
To hear those words again,
Coming straight from your heart.
It's easy to know when you are here,
But distance now keeps us apart.
To hear those words again,
To let me know you are there.
For everyday I say it to you,
To let you know I still care.
To hear those words again,
Even though I know you do.
Just once after all this time,
Let me hear 'I love you'.

Scattered echoes
To my wonderfull family.
I so very sorry.
Yes I finaly done it.
I took my own life.
But my life was taken long ago.
I heard scattered echoes in the wind.
They told me to go back home.
I listened to the scattered echoes of the wind.
Becuase I'd had enough of pointless pain.
Yes you'll be angry.
I know you'll be sad.
I guess you'll grieve for a while
But soon you will see this was meant to be.
Things have worked out for the best.
In the scattered echoes of the wind.
If you listen carefully you'll hear my cries.
My cries to you on earth below.
I'm sorry
My echoes in the scattered wind are crying to you.
I'm sorry really I am.
Go get on with your life.
Live for each other.
Live your dream.
The scattered echoes of the wind shout out to you.
Now the time has come let her go.
Move on with your life.
She wouldnt want you to live this way

We've Heard It All Before
Einstein, he said, nothings original
Find something new, That's easy for him to say
Took his whole life explaining his theory
Try squeezing your life into 3 minute songs like
"My love, your face is a symphony
You play the strings of my heart
Say that we never shall part
If you say goodbye, then I'll surely die without you"
Oh, we've heard it all before
Oh, we've heard it all before
Don't wanna hear it anymore
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've come a long way from mono to stereo
Mozart would freak at the crap on the radio
Hits all produced by computer technology
Stick it in one end, it comes out the other
"My love, your face is a symphony
You play the strings of my heart
Say that we never shall part
If you say goodbye, then I'll surely die without you"
Oh, we've heard it all before
Oh, we've heard it all before
Don't wanna hear it anymore
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, we've heard it (oy)
You plug us in and we regurgitate the hits
Bombard your senses with sound of microchips
Program it digitally into the top five
Brainwash your ears, is it tape or is it live?
Live, live, live, live, live, live, live, live, live
Oh, we've heard it all before, we've heard it, we've heard it
Oh, we've heard it all before, we've heard it, we've heard it
Don't wanna hear it anymore, we've heard it, we've heard it
Oh, we've heard it all before, we've heard it, we've heard it

Last Words
Words that stick in our minds
we all wonder what the last ones will be
romantic to a lover final goodbye
a fighter gasping to fight till the end
a loner uttering a change to late
a prisoner express his hatred past
words that touch, some that hurt
but to some we don't hear their words
instead we see the tears and anguish in their eyes
there were some great lives, some bad ones
the ones that are missed are lost souls
flowing in time for us to catch and hear
their last words
it's hard to remember those anguish words
tears and cries hide those words
remember those words bad or good
it's the last time you'll hear their voice
last words to live by, cherish life

Goodbye To The Island

Producers for bonnie: hugh murphy/ ronnie scott/ steve wolfe
**goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
Its gone like a dream in the night
And it wont be back again
Goodbye to the island
Where our bodies touched
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much
*(oh) why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
A bed it is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm, so close
Goodbye to the island
Where, where it mattered the most

Why Can't You Listen?
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why do you call Me?
Why do you say you're alone?
You wish for Me to appear.
And yet when I'M near.
Your closed ears wont hear Me!
Why do you pray to Me?
Master I Am of your World.
I'M with you there silently.
But you will not see...
Everything that is Me!
One I Am and only One!
Maker of your Moon, Stars and Sun.
All things on Earth that is there...
Is there if you ask,
But your faith does not last!
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why do you call Me?
Why do you say you're alone?
You wish for Me to appear.
And yet when I'M near.
Your closed ears wont hear.
A word.
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen to Me.
Listen...
And let Me in!
'Father...
Clear my mind of these obstacles! '
I'M trying!
But you wish it 'your' way.
And not the way MY way is.

So Many Ways
So many ways
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
Im breaking up again
But just when I thought I could hear her voice
It echoes in my head
Im sorry if I say the wrong things
Im sorry if you feel that I dont want you anymore
But how can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
Shes built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I cant seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isnt mine
Im still losing my mind
Shes calling me again
But I was so convinced Id never hear her voice
She says hello
How can you ever breathe without me
Cause I can see this happening all over again
I think I want it to
How can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
Shes built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I cant seem to think of one this time
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isnt mine
Im still losing my mind
Shes built and torn down anyone
Shes built and torn down anyone that comes close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I cant seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isnt mine
Im still losing my mind

Poetry To Me
Poetry is engineering of words
Designed with discipline,
Conveying feelings of writer
Aesthetic and glowing sheen.
Creative, varied interpretations
Able to deliver evocative sense,
Literary art to educate, amuse,
Evoke emotive response.
Adorned by tools of precision,
Symbolism, stylistic elements;
Listeners feel magical attachment
Assonance and rhyme present.
Bring the inner of the subject out,
Speak more than the words told
Craze, remembrance, impression
For longer the listener’s heart hold.

From The Time We Say Goodbye
By the time you say goodbye
By the time you say cheerio
Well take a handshake through
On your journey as you go
Keep a prayr within your heart
That the time will surely fly
To the day when we shall meet again
By the time you say goodbye
Hmmm.....
Yes listeners, we have been coming to you
Live on a crystal ballroom high above the hotel jamestown
In picturesque western new york
As your program draws to a close
It gives me profound pleasure to say cheerio
To the strains of miss natalie merchant and her choir
And so now it only remains for me to say... goodnight
By the time you say goodbye
By the time you say cheerio
Well take a handshake through
On your journey as you go
Keep a prayr within your heart
That the time will surely fly
To the day when we shall meet again
By the time you say goodbye

Old Man
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
You must remember the old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look whos come to say goodbye
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You want to stay, I know you do
But it aint no use to try
cause Ill be here-and Im just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Wont be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You dont need anybody
Nobody needs you
Dont cry, old man, dont cry
Everybody dies

For every tear weve cried
We will wear a smile
