You are my sunshine for MY Lady Irene
In the distance I can see the sun is shining pleasantly
but where I am is cold and gray. Why that should be I cannot say.
Perhaps because I’m missing you and that in fact it isn’t true. And that in fact the sun does shine on me but can’t relieve the misery
I feel when you are far away without you every day is gray
I am quite ready to concede you are the only one I need.
When you are near my world is bright, your presence fills me with delight.
I simply state because it’s true the only sun I need is you

Missing You
(c.sanford/ j. waite/ m. leonard)
Producer: trevor horn
Album: wildest dreams (96)
Everytime I think of you I always catch my breath
And Im still standing here, and youre miles away
And Im wondering why you left
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And its almost driving me wild
And theres a heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all (missing you)
Since youve been gone away (missing you),
I aint missing you (missing you)
No matter what I might say (missing you)
Theres a message in the wire
And Im sending you the signal tonight
You dont know how desperate Ive become
And it looks like Im losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though Im trying hard to understand
And its my heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all (missing you)
Since youve been gone away (missing you),
I aint missing you (missing you)
No matter what my friends say (missing you)
And theres a message that Im sending out
Via telegraph to your soul
And if I cant bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

True
Sun come shining through
You are still dreaming
I can hardly believe it
Im here with you
Lying in you arms
I hear you breathing
I tried to capture the moment
That I share with you
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Tell me this is true
Drowning in your eyes
Your heart is beating
The world outside it feels so cold
But its warm here with you
Hours they go by
My love keeps growing
Its like we live in slow motion
Im so lost in you
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Tell me this is true
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
Can this be true
I belong to you
You belong to me
I cant believe its true

Missing You
(bernadette cooper)
Everybodys got to cry sometime
I never understood the reason why
Suddenly the answer is so clear Im - missing you
Never thought that we would end this way
And if I only had three words to say
They would simply flow so easily, Im - missing you
Casa blanca and white orchids I sent to you
Just a symbol of hop that you still love me too
Im missing you baby
Im missing you honey
(Im missing you)
We cant be through
Im missing you
If I had a chance once again
Id approach us like a love song
So tenderly Id orchestrate us to be
(a sweet melody)
Sending you romantic cards to remind you of us
Just a token of to entice you to
Come back to love
Im missing you baby
Im missing you honey
(Im missing you)
A love so true
Im missing you darlin
(Im missing you)
Baby I will take the blame
So lets stop playing silly games
If it will bring you back to me
Baby Ill say that Im sorry
I will gladly sacrifice
To have you back in my life
Im beggin you honey please
Come back to me darlin
Everybodys got to cry sometimes
I never understood the reason why
The answer is so clear to me now
Im missing you baby
Im missing you honey
(Im missing you)
We cant be through
Im missing you

You
It's now become the saddest story
I was never worth the worry
Not that you would notice anyway
But when I'm walking in my sleep
The floor is cold beneath my feet
And as I step
You're with me everyday
You oh you
You've gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
You've got this thing about
What should be coming true
Was a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There's a distance between
What you say and what you do
You're steps will always lead me here
I've found myself in God knows where
It's something I will always seem to do
You know you'll ask me how I've been
But what exactly do you mean
What would you like for me to say to you
You oh you
Gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
You've got this thing about
What should be coming true
You were a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There's a distance between
What you say and what you do
Was a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There is a distance between
What you say and what you do
You oh you
You've gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
Got this thing about
What should be coming true
You oh you
You oh you
You oh you
Gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you

Missing
Written by kim wilde & steve byrd
They said stick with your own kind
Youre out of your depth
Think youve had it bad so far
Youre not finished yet
And all shes known is the taste of tears
Shes going no - where, can anybody hear
Now shes missing in the eyes of the law
She got out quick, she couldnt take much more
Now shes missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her
Its cold in the street
Theres a cold in her nose
Shes been walking all night
And the rains soaked her clothes
She doesnt know what shes doing here
She shrugs her shoulders, guess thats the way it goes
And now shes missing in the eyes of the law
She only did it cos she wanted much more
And now shes missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her
Somebody

One True Love
All above me the stars are bright
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
I could be happy if I could be
(In the dark with one true love)
And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(But all I want is one true love)
In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(All I want is one true love)
All of my life I've just wanted to be
(All alone with one true love)
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love

Should Know
Why I should know you?
My love is reality and in fact true
I want you only and no one else
Talk in earnest with you face to face
I will not hesitate
For everything to relate
And clearly do so to narrate
With all that I have to state
I come to you and hang on
To please and sing on
With all that praises and talk
When we pleasantly roam around and walk
I pick all that you whisper
Even though you are not quite near
Enjoy the company without any fear
Listen to the intimate signals in the ears
You are day dreaming
Your eyes are beaming
Clearly looking at and inviting
For al that love and passion igniting
Life is hardest game
Where we pass no blame
Enjoy it to full extent and share
Where I think no one prefers to dare
Bond is in fact real union
Enjoyed truly by companion
No one cares about its originality
As love itself is super and best quality
You also know that I hate to loose
In fact it does not matter what you choose
I surely play real one and surprise you
As it is the only one to take you through

Hot Burning Flames
She left me almost burned out
I couldn't feel a thin'
A walkin' talkin' statue
Afraid to love again
She did everything to kill a flame
But a little spark got through
If she'd a got her way I'd be gone today
If it hadn't been for you
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
--- Instrumental ---
She thought she had me down and out
But at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die
Sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt the fire was out
But she didn't count on you
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames...

neath A Cold Gray Tomb Of Stone
Passing by a lonesome graveyard
Everything I love is gone
Weeping as they lay my darling
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone
In this world i'm left to wander
With no one to call my own
While my precious darling's sleeping
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone
Out there in that lonesome graveyard
She is sleeping all alone
And I burried my heart with her
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone
Skies above are dark and stormy
All the sunshine,all is gone
For the while my love is sleeping
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone
My heart is dead and yet i'm living
Traveling through this world alone
I wish that I was with my darling
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

Crazy Game
Crazy game
I never should have started to play
But now you couldnt tear me away
Love is sweet sweet baby
So good to you
And so bad
And I fear
The situations clear before my eyes
Confusion wants to break me and it tries
Ive been a little bit stronger from the start
Listen to my heart
Cause if youre ever believing
Im thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause its a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And its true
Ill wait for you
You dry your tears
Dont be thinking grey is here to stay
Sometimes everything is in the way
Youre wanting to look at it
Turn your view around
Dry your eyes
Eyes like yours should carry a smile
I havent seen them sparkle in a while
Give it one more try
Dry your eyes
Cause if youre ever believing
Im thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause its a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And its true
Ill wait for you

Here In My Heart
Sometimes there's a time you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I've got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You'll never be far
'Coz like the light of a bright star
You'll keep shining in my life
You're gonna be right
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
Won't be any tears falling from these eyes
'Coz when love's true love never dies
It says alive forever
Time can't take away what we have
I will remember our time together
You might think our time is through
But I'll still have you
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
I know you'll be back again
But until then
My love is waiting
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

That's what we're missing. We're missing argument. We're missing debate. We're missing colloquy. We're missing all sorts of things. Instead, we're accepting.

I Miss You
I
Miss
You.
So easy to say, these three little words
Yet, so complicated.
If I utter them, they leave me vulnerable
Exposed..
I
Miss
You.
It's true, but maybe better you don't know
Just
How
Much
I miss you.
The utterance of this simple statement
Changes things.
Makes it real..
Scares me.
But, it doesn't change the fact
That
I miss you
Because
I do.
Even when I'm trying not to
I think of you.
Even when I push away thoughts of you
Somewhere
Deep
Down
Inside
I know it's true..
Even when I'm not thinking
I'm missing you.

Ive Been Missing You
Do I know if you are sleeping
Cause you lie so still and warm
Yeh the darness and the silence wrap around me
Dont hear your cries that make me sleep so sound
Maybe Ive been missing you
Oh maybe Ive been missing you
For so long
If one day you said you were happy
I think your spell would be broken for good
Sometimes I pray
If you are unkind to me
Maybe Ill love you more for that
And maybe Ive been missing you
Oh maybe Ive been missing you
For so long
And maybe Ive been missing you
Ive been missing you
For so long yeh yeh

A New Star
Orbison dees
The evening sun is falling that old blue moon is calling
My guardian angel in the sky came through
To help all my dreams come true theres a new star.
Theres a new star coming tonight, theres a new love burning
So bright for a new star of love is born between the earth and sky
For you and i.
Theres a new star
The moon was dull, the sky was cold and gray
There were no stars to light my lonely way
And then I traced the lovelight in your eyes
To a new star twinkling in the sky burning bright, day and night
Now Im alright, now were together, lovers forever
A new star, a new star to light our way
Theres a new star burning for us, theres a new world turning for us
Theres a new star sparkling in the sky.
Theres a new star shining somewhere and we know the reason why
Theres a new star way up there for a true love
A new star for our love will never die.

I Will Take You As A Grain Of Sand In My Palm Against The Sun
your name you call yourself is
insignificant, a speck of dust,
a grain of sand, you have slept
for years, in this dream of being
nothing,
what a sadness you have
the inability to gleam freely
like a diamond even on a faint
light in the dark cave
i have been looking for you
missing you like the only
missing soul-mate of my whole life
i have existed i have not lived at all
i have not died either
for lack of reason and power
to unbreathe to vomit what
has been generously fed us
by time
now, it has come this
magnanimous opportunity of meeting you again
i shall take you gently in my palm
let you rest in there and when the sun comes
you will gleam
he will know your name and presence
your insignificance by itself
the sun tells you
is diamond against the vast sky,
shining, shining in the shores of our lives

Melancholia
My coffees cold, my papers old,
My heart is sold to melancholia,
My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn,
My heart is born to melancholia.
A strange surprise, what I despise in other guys is here in me,
They lose their girl, they lose their world,
And then they cry for all to see,
Ive never felt so bad, the fires drive me mad.
The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power,
The dust is thick, the dog is sick, the kids have picked most of the flowers.
The sun is shining, but not for me,
The sun is shining, but not for me.
Ive never felt so bad, the fires drive me mad.
The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power,
The dog is sick, the dust is thick, the kids have picked most of the flowers.

Is It A Maybe Or Is It True?
It's not a maybe for me.
It's very true for me.
If it's a maybe for you,
Then, it's maybe true for you.
Why not make it true
And change the world for you?
In response to this statement:
Maybe it's true
Maybe we don't know what we have
Until we've lost it.
but maybe it's also true
that we don't know what we're missing
until we find it.
Distance Is and Was
His distance was like a slickness of blackness and ice
Outside the trees wept with damp leaves of loss
And the arrogance of dark winter's cold drew near
Clawing the softness from every living thing.
Her needs were not clear, but the pain of her loss
was etched as sharp as a scrape in soft, timeless metal.
His soul cried to help with heart-felt compassion, but the
wise cunning of distance crafted her sad, subtle traps.
Distance it is, and Distance it was, Distance was the master
and craftsman of their simple love.
His desires of things unsaid beat inside his head like some
strange moth of passion, but when he grasped the mechanism
of his loss and pain, he could but fail in expectation of certainty
that would feed a raging thirst across arid deserts of sand.
Confusion would raise it's harsh cold chisel to chip and wear
against the heat of Love, while he and she would grapple
against the easy route of pain and recurrence, would battle
against the seduction of easy and mindless dismissal of Distance.
Distance it is, and Distance it was, Distance was the master
and craftsman of their simple love.
