Experience Of A Lifetime
A day of fire came from the sun,
With the realm of naked flame,
Hung between the sea and the moon,
There the stars spoke my name.
And again; I find time returning,
Stood stained where the sky reign,
Experience of a lifetime burning,
Gain the path we tried to frame.
I could have run into young heaven,
With paradise wings of pure angels,
From the joy my heart was given,
Those engulf hope which love teaches.
A chance to hear mixed laughter,
And freedom chimes of celestial bells,
Link sorrow more subtle together,
Amidst trials when best efforts fails.
We climb daily higher into the sky,
That spirit Leave the past behind,
Memory of time parting the sea,
On a road set for eternity to find.
Where heaven lies earth defines,
The universities we go to search,
A lifetime we spent in demises,
Be converged into dreams reach.
The day my sins were forgiven,
A prayer from within lifted high,
The Rags and riches I had worn,
Lifetime depart deep into the sky.
Dividing darkness from my heart,
The moment a distinct world create,
The crystal glow of heavens light,
Brightens the earth where we wait.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Kenny Loggins and Human Nature
Runaway Bride
Something about you
Oh, could it be I finally found
My destiny
Now here you are
Within my reach
How did I miss you? (how did I miss you)
When you were out there all the time
It took this moment
To make me realize...
Once in a Lifetime
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one that makes your dreams...)
Oh I could search the world forever
But no one else could do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
Ahh..
Once in a lifetime, ohh
I've waited for so long (so long)
Makin this can't nothin be but a lie
Cause all about
Standing by wind, oohh
Alone in the crowd, oh oh oh
I went through the motion (went through the motion)
Then out of heaven you arrived
Whatever was wrong
Suddenly is right
Cause once in a lifetime
You find the reason for living
You find the one who makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one who makes your dream...)
No, I could search the world forever
And no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
(Find someone like you...)
Hearts that wait for love can grow so weary
(Don't you know... a heart can grow?)
But it doesn't matter anymore
When you find the one you've waited for...
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream come ... oh you make it come true
Oh you could search the world forever
But no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you.....
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone.....
Someone like you......
(Ahhh...)
Whoaaa......................

The Outlaw Torn
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
I ride the dirt I ride the tide for you
I search the outside search inside for you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
The Outlaw Torn
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
The more I search the more my need for you
The more I blast the more I bleed for you
You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime

Once In A Lifetime
Lovers, they come and go
Just like the seasons.
And lately, it's learnin' to know
When it's the real one.
It may be close at hand.
Don't try to understand it all
'Cause once in a lifetime,
First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,
Once in a lifetime. Mmm
Your heart aches,
For every day, anticipatin'
Just hold on, your time will come
'Cause you've been waitin'
Don't let it bring you down,
Your second chance will come around
'Cause once in a lifetime,
First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,
Once in a lifetime. Yeah, eh
Don't worry cause
It's bound to happen.
It ain't easy when
Your life is passin' you by.
It doesn't matter how you try.
You know it's just a state of mind. Yeah, yeah.
First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,

One Love In My Lifetime
(t. mcfaddin/l. brown/l. perry)
Ooh,yeah
From rags to riches, here I stand
Shaped and molded by your loving hand
With faith and trust unshaken
You led me all the way
Through years of joy and tears
Im standing here to say
Youre that one love in my lifetime
And if I search this whole wide world
I know Ill never find a love thats stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done, yeah
A carefree girl
I couldnt see
All the future plans darlin
You made for me
You placed the whole world
At my feet
And lit a flame of passion
That burns eternally
Love may come
And love may go
But youre the man that made me
And no one else can change me
Youre my adam, and Im your eve
And if I live a hundred years
I know therell only be
One love in my lifetime
Only one love
Burning in this heart of mine
Youre the one love
In my lifetime
And if I live a hundred years
I know Ill never find
A love thats stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done
One love in my lifetime
Only one love
Burning in this heart of mine
One love
Burning in this heart of mine
One love

Once Upon A Lifetime
Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
and felt the fire burning in my heart
for the very first time
she was scared and young
and had never tasted love
so I took her by the hand
a boy became a man
once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime
you hold the queen of hearts
but if you gamble on a diamond
when the dealing starts
you stand to lose it all
as the cards begin to fall
and the lesson learned is hard
you're only dealt the queen of hearts
once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances
know the chance you take
a broken heart's a high price to pay
foolish ways will make fools of the wise
and the best things seldom come along twice
Once upon a lifetime
you know that you've been blessed
when you hold your first born tenderly
against your chest
and through the innocence you see
the value of a family
and you feel a special bond
that only comes along
once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances
know the chance you take
a broken heart's a high price to pay
foolish ways will make fools of the wise
and the best things seldom come along twice
And people only find
a love like your's and mine
once upon a lifetime

Crumbling Paradise
Our paradise is a beautiful place in mind,
Exist only when we go there in spirit,
On a trip; in this realm of splendid sublime,
Only those so deep in love can get to it.
A precious place of graceful escapades,
Found in the wind that floats through the air,
Dare to be where our daily memory fades,
And fond embrace becomes the treasure.
We seek more from this impure life,
And would endure every pain and torment,
But fiery trials esteem the crumbling grief,
These are the broken promise presently sent.
Burning desire more consuming than fire,
Within me lift the flames to a new heaven,
Overwhelm to speak of any intruder,
Pushing me out and trying to break in.
We fall down but love made us get up again,
With broken dreams of crumbling paradise,
There is no tears heaven; sorrow or pain,
We make our dreams here living in disguise.
No sweet exhale can make this paradise crumble,
Only truth we share divides the beat in our heart,
To make us stop and stare and quietly stumble,
Until we find the truest path where eternity start.

Gateway
I can walk
Miles
Through ranges and deserts
Just to see you
Once in a lifetime.
I can climb
high
On mountains and hills
Just to be with you
Once in the whole lifetime.
I can swim
deep and broad
Through rivers and sea
Just to be besides you
Once in a life time
I can fly across the whole sky
Just to reach you
Once in this whole lifetime.
I can walk miles
I can climb high
I can swim deep and wide
I can even fly
But
just how can I touch the heart
The doors of which
You have so tightly locked from inside?
Just how can I reach your soul
You have so cleverly hidden from sight?
Just how can I ever connect to you
When all you want is to sever all ties?

If Heaven Could Wait
If Heaven Could Wait by Kenny Davis
If heaven could wait
If only for a year
If only, but a slight moment longer
One chance more to hold her near
If heaven could only wait
If only just for a night
That my eyes may have a chance at one last glance
At her beauty once more in the moonlight
If heaven could only wait
If only for one last sunrise
A moment to gaze upon the majestic horizon
As the sun glistens from her eyes
If heaven could only wait
If only for an hour
Time to hold her tight
Before a time spent without her
Lord, why would you bless me with a love like this
Only to have it taken away
Can I please just have this one moment longer?
Oh, if heaven could only wait
If heaven could only wait
All I simply ask for is time
For the man who is blessed to have her heart
And for the woman proudly holding mine
Is it possible for heaven to wait?
If only for, but a season
One last chance to cherish moments with her
Please allow me this minute more within reason
Lord, please understand
Leaving her so soon, is very hard
To call up my soul from hers
Would cause me to shed heartbroken tears from the stars
Can Heaven have a time to wait?
To avoid this momentary hurt
Although I would love nothing more than to be with you Lord
She is, but my only tie here to this Earth.
After all of this pain, all of this time
I have finally found the one you have made for me
You have divinely favored me to find true love here on Earth
Only to tell me now I must leave?
If heaven could only wait
Long enough to have one last cry
As I look into her eyes, as we say our last goodbyes
Before you call me in the sky
It’s hard to say such things as this
When being with her and God means so much
I would die to be with both of them
From them, I would die for one last touch

Forever, Together
We have a forever, together,
Be us in Heaven or on Earth
Be us together, to be one,
Or be us one when we're apart.
Forever together we shall cleave
Underneath the eyes of GOD,
Standing straight and being proud
We have a lifetime, to believe.
Forever together we shall be,
My dreams and hopes be yours
And the love you give is all I need
Whether I'd be rich or poor.
Forever there is for us to dream
And a lifetime to touch the stars,
So together, forever we shall be
As we share, the same soul and heart.
We have a forever to shape to the fullest
And a lifetime, to sail the clouds and seas
Even though we might be wishing,
But it will be only, for you and me.
There is a forever for us to live
And also a lifetime for us to cry
But it will be us, you and I together,
So our love, will never die.

Zoom
Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom
Suddenly and we were on the moon
Flyin' high in a neon sky, oh oh
Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angels sang
Sunrise shine in the midnight sky, oh oh
Oh zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom
(High as a rainbow as we went flyin' by)
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you gave that to me
Zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole world went zoom
Moonbeams dancin' in the afternoon
Shadows blowin' as the roses bloom
Lookin' down on a wonderland
Smack just one kiss and I was outta whack
All at once there was no turnin' back
All so far above the brighter star, oh oh
Oh zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom
(High as a rainbow as we went flyin' by)
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you gave that to me

Destiny
What if everything you ever wanted
throughout all your lifetime, beckons
and falls right in front of your feet
like stars fall to earth from heavens
Feels like it's, once in a lifetime moment
and you really don't want to let it slip
Your heart tells you to seize the moment
reach out and grab it, secure it
but motionless like a statue of cold stone
your mind makes you stay and hold still
It's a heart over the mind matter, a plus for the soul
so suddenly you just try to grab it and never let it go
But the moment slips out from your grasp
it escapes from your fingertips and flies away
to join the light that's already out there
and you're just left alone to chase the clouds away
But the stars keep on falling and it's not rare
just that we don't see them for what they are
So embrace your life and live it to the fullest
there's always another time for each and every test
things will happen even if you don't want them to happen
World's not messed up, it's just us and our ways that are

And felt the fire
Burning in my heart

She was scared and young
And had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand
And a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime
You hold the
Queen of Hearts
And if you gamble
On a diamond win
The dealin' starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards
Begin to fall
And the lesson
Learned is hard
You're only dealt

Morning Sun (A letter of love)
Written by Wilfred Mellers, Friday, November 27,2009 @3: 31 PM
My heart sings now with joy and laughter
I could gaze into your eyes now and ever after
Paradise found when you're with me
To my heart you hold the key
Kissing you I hear the bells chime
With you I want to spend my lifetime
You are constantly running through my mind
No purer love could I ever find
Sweet as the day for my cup runs over
Lucky am I to find my four-leaf clover
What I've found in you I cannot explain
Queen of my heart forever may you reign
When I'm gone I'll keep you always in my heart
Neither space nor time can keep us apart
Where ever I travel, wherever I may roam
Thoughts of you will always bring me home
Kissing you is all I want to do
Nothing more I could ever ask of you
Your blessed love is all I require
Touching you and my soul burns like fire
Seeing you and my heart starts to flutter
What I feel for you words cannot utter
Love letters to you I will always send
The greatest woman you are my beloved friend
Pure wonderment for my senses stimulate
In my heart excitement you create
Your beauty cannot be outdone
My goddess, my empress, my morning sun

Glimpse of Heaven
Love can be glimpse of heaven,
With no sand castles or moon dunes,
Floating beneath the brooding sun,
No politicians or shopping trolleys.
I want to see who made the moon,
Hung the stars on a curtain of dreams,
Left behind the crucifix coins we wear.
Even the cripple have a triple crown
The lame leap with dances in a song,
Going to see a king on wings of prayer,
Indulgencies of the weak can be strong,
Bind the death howls and smearing fire.
Exchange miracles borne amongst angels,
Moon beams spread the tapestry of heaven.
The kingdom come over every tropical isle,
Praises flung with jewel beads in the air,
And live on whatever Gods grace brings.
Bare the nature and the invisible power,
Life will be peaceful; we can play and sing,
Heavens jubilee innumerable company,
With stars to guide the beauty of the night,
They paint the sky in a transparent ring.
Speeding arrows engulf with showers,
Holy Grail shine in the sky stained light,
A halo makes a road on the celestial trail.
The rising sun sees another day unveil,
No night of sorrow to drape with fears,
The curse of sin gone with unfriendly realm.
In early dew strung the ephemeral intent,
Dotted in houses where there was no room,
Robe with immortality to split the firmament.
Rising humans leave the empty tomb,
Forgiven words left with fleeting kisses,
Rapture saints the immortal tapestry given.
Tribulation disguise dropp a star in the abyss,
Splattered garland around the throne,
And we see only faint glimpse of heaven.

Living With You
Youve been teaching me a lesson
That Ive never learned
You never make it through a lifetime
Without being burned
Everything I ever thought you were
You turned out to be
Since you gave your love to me.
When I met you on a Monday
My life just stood still
I belong in every moment
That your love can fill
Let me be the only heart you can mend
Turn out the light and take it right to the end.
Chorus:
Living with you
In the madness of my mind
In a world I could not find
But you knew what to do
Living with you
Theres a full moon on the rise
Theres a fire in your eyes
And I was born to be.
Loving you under my skin
Youre everything to me
I could not love you more
And you know that you are mine
And thats what Im living for.
There will never be a question
Of somebody new
I could make it through a lifetime
With someone like you
Let me be the only heart...

Hope In Higher Heaven
Where is

voice
of ever
lasting dreams?
His words
long left

read
upon paper

When will
weary spirit
wake
with vibrant
beam
piercing multiple
tomorrows.
Eternity still
awaits chalice
containing
hope overpowering
colder reality.
Waking life

Chaos deep

You Move Heaven
Ive been here before
On the street of hearts
Tryin to find my way
To be close to you
Takin careful steps
Makin some mistakes
Now its judgement day
But all along I knew
Could this one be magic
Tell me what the rumours say
Now the whispers started
Theres no turning back
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When I see the love thats shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
And Im thankful theres a place in heavens sky
I can hear you breathing
Loving heart and healing hands
On a solo flight
Sent from heavens door
Hear you call my name
When love came first
To be where you are
Like a shooting star
Tryin to chase the flame
From heaven down to earth
Runnin in slow motion
Tryin to find a place to hide
I guess theres no escapin
Time to face the facts
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When I see the love thats shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
Now Im flyin so high.
Ive heard that heaven must be missing an angel
Dont care what the storys worth
All I care is that youre here beside me
My angel - here on earth.
Solo
I can hear you breathing
Loving heart and healing hands
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When I see the love thats shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
And Im thankful theres aplace in heavens sky

I Cant Wait A Lifetime
After all is said and done
Time will wait no more
Have not the strength to carry on
Light grows cold
Steals away the life in me
Cold with this uncertainty
Forgive me
I cant wait a lifetime
Wont let this child die within my heart
I cant wait a lifetime
Dont let it slip away
Dont let it slip away
From me
In the end I had to turn
Hurt to see you cry
Beneath the skin the prison lies
Love the only crime
Do I unlock the life in me
Or ride the storm eternally
Forgive me
I cant wait a lifetime
Wont let this child die within my heart
I cant wait a lifetime
Dont let it slip away
Dont let it slip away
From me

Time
Friend, as the moments tick away, we can see the end of another day,
And as time continues marching on, soon we see another year is gone.
Friend, time for no one will stand still, but it continues on by God’s will.
And time each day does not change, for every man it stays the same.
All time by God has one set pace, for every man in this human race.
The only thing that varies friend, is your own beginning and your end,
That single day of your own birth, the very day you arrived on earth.
And the day that you shall depart, from this place you had your start.
At that point again time will be, the same for all throughout eternity.
The length of time you will endure, is the time will call forevermore.
Once in eternity you have a start, you will find that you won’t depart.
Throughout eternity there is no end, this truth is fact for all my friend.
The length of the coming eternity, is the end of any and all similarity.
There is one of two places friend, where in eternity you shall spend.
For when all men from earth depart, they leave with a different heart.
Your time on the earth can not be, compared at all with your eternity.
For when your time on earth is done, you’ll see darkness or The Son.
Friend, Hell is that special place, so men don’t have to see God’s face.
Since the darkness was their delight, God made for them eternal night.
If Christ has saved you from the night, you will enter His Eternal Light.
For those who do believe in Christ, for them, God offers Eternal Life.
All other men upon their last breath, shall descend into eternal death.
For unbelievers there is no return, from the fire that will eternally burn.
In the time you have left on earth, you need to experience a new birth.
For when your time does pass away, where you go you will go to stay.
Living With You
You been teaching me a lesson that I never learned
You never make it through a lifetime without being burned
Everything I ever thought you were - you turned out to be
Since you gave your love to me
When I met you on a monday
My life has stood still
I belong to every moment that your love can fill
Let me be the only heart you mend
Turn out the light and take it right to the end
Living with you
In the madness of my mind
In a world I could not find
But you knew what to do
Living with you
Theres a full moon on the rise
Theres a fire in your eyes
And I was born to be
Loving you under my skin
Youre everything to me
I could not love you more
And you know that you are mine
And thats what Im living for
There will never be a question of somebody new
I could make it through a lifetime with someone like you
Let me be the only heart you mend
Turn out the light and take it right to the end
Living with you

Theres a full moon on the rise
Theres a fire in your eyes
