Matter of Time
It's only a matter of time
Only a matter of time
As I lie in bed thinking about my life
Thinking about my children and ex. Wife
Missing company of Christine
And wake up having her arms around me - holding me
Unable to relax, switch off, fall asleep
Why should this be so when I love you so so deep
I'll tell you why, it's not through anything I have done
It's to do with everything that's important and yet to come
Only she can help, reach out, take my hand and pull me through
Expand my mind, make me become myself and explore new horizons too
I cannot sit alone wondering what I can and cannot do
I look at the universe for it is all there for us to see
As far as you want, or as close as you want it to be
And if I could name such a place, it would be named after you
After all it's something special if for no one else it'll be for me
If not, then maybe I should set myself free.

My Love Fantasy (I am ready for love)
I'm ready for love but love is not ready for me
How come this wasn't suppose to be
Be free, happy but not lonely just loving truly
I am ready for love so ready for love........
Love is what I am
Playing back in my mind is this for real this time
I am ready love so so ready for love
For deep in my heart I found that special one
What's his name? ? ? ?
That's not important but i am so ready for love
Thinking about how much love I have to give to that special person
Thinking about how he makes me feel inside
I felt as if I could just cry
Crying is not my specialty
But thinking about him brings tears to my eyes
Because honestly he makes me happy
Sometimes I ask myself 'WHY? '
WONDERING WONDERING
All I can say is I Love Him.

I'll Be Thinking Of You
I’ll be thinking of you
In all the hustle of Christmas day
I’ll be thinking of you in all I do or say.
I’ll be thinking of you
Each time a song is sung
I’ll think of you each time
A Christmas bell is rung.
I’ll be thinking of you
In this hot Texas weather
I’ll be thinking of you
And wishing we were together.
I’ll be thinking of you each time
I hear “A Blue Christmas” being played
I’ll be thinking of you
When new Christmas memories are being made.
I’ll be thinking of you when I read
About how our Saviour came
And because of that first Christmas night long ago
Our lives will never be the same.
I’ll be thinking of you
In the glow of the Christmas lights
And I’ll be hoping and praying
You have a Christmas of white.
I’ll be thinking of you
Each time I see an angel on a tree
And I’ll thank God he sent
Someone special, like you, to me.

A Matter Of Time
He lays alone cries on his own
For horizons hell never reach
And all of those dreams are washed on the beach.
Shes drowing in oceans of shackled emotions
Going round and around in her head
While out on the streets people forget
That its love you want
Love you want
Love you want.
She speaks of hoping he speacks of fighting
And tells her that they will come through
cause he wants to feel the shock of the new
People that hurt you and they burn you
With acid the falls that falls from the sky
While out of the silence your voice says why ?
If its love you want
Love you want
Love you want
Its a matter of time a matter of time
But youre asking why oh life makes you cry?
Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.
Its a matter of time a matter of time
But all of your past still plays on your mind
And maybe tomorrow youll live by design
Its a matter of time.
This isnt giving this isnt living
Oh just days that pull you apart
And tears turn to rust that fall on steel hearts
So swallow youe maybes and cradle your babies
Tell them that they will come through
Their gonna feel the shock of the new
And if its love you want
Love you want
Love you want
Its a matter of time a matter of time
But youre asking why oh life makes you cry?
Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.
Its a matter of time a matter of time
But all of your past still plays on your mind
And maybe tomorrow youll live by design
Its a matter of time.

Touching Numbers
I was sitting alone at home
thinking about you
wondering what the heck
you were up to.
Are you sitting there alone
thinking about me…
wondering if I was in
someone else's company?
Have you found someone new
to give your affection…
are you stroking each other's palms
considering a connection?
Are you snuggling up close
and kissing him
the same as you kissed me
on my neck and chin?
Is your breathing deep and heavy,
does your heart pound,
are you truly happy now
that I'm not around?
I really hope you're there
thinking about me,
looking at our photographs
on your phone's memory.
Touching numbers, about to call,
thinking of what to say.
Maybe, should we meet up
in our favourite café?
I suppose I'm just a fool
for thinking like this,
dwelling on a lost love
and past happiness.
I have to face it, you're not
thinking of me at all.
A full day has just about gone…
should I make the call?

You Can't Define The Single Life
You can't define the single life.
Unless you're doing it.
And not for kicks.
Sometimes it's not that much well liked.
When you are on the telephone.
Just to hang up all alone.
You can't define the single life.
Unless you're doing it.
And not for kicks.
Sometimes it's not that much well liked.
When you are on the telephone.
Just to hang up all alone.
On my drifting mind with the hours,
I stay awake.
I'm thinking nothing but love.
And sipping coffee out of focus,
Hoping that your thoughts are on me.
I'm thinking nothing but love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
A lusting mind has appetites...
Thinking of love.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
A lusting mind has appetites...
Thinking of love.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
A lusting mind has appetites...
Thinking of love.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
A lusting mind has appetites...
Thinking of love.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
It's hard to fall asleep some nights.
You can't define the single life...
Thinking of love.

Thinking Of You
Have you ever stood outside a picket fence
You could see through but you can't get to the inside
You sit there and wait
I look at you and anticipate
What we could be and what we could do
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly with wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
I'm carrying this heavy load
I don't know what to do
The only thing I know is that
I'm in love with you Oh
Fly the wings of an eagle
No matter how high
I'll be thinkin' of you
(Repeat Chorus)
No matter how high
No matter how low
I'll be thinking of you
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
I'll be thinking of you

I'd Do Anything
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many thing were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Sleepless In Portsmouth
Two o’clock in the morning,
four hours before I go to work
and I cannot sleep.
My mind is filled with images
that should not really be there.
We are standing in an airport my wife and I
in a different country
looking for faces I hope I might recognise.
There are people all around us,
but those we are looking for
they are not there.
My wife is getting panicky.
We are strangers in a strange land.
For a month, I have had no contact
with those whom we are to meet.
I keep thinking of my friends
and wondering
have they forgotten me?
It is just a dream
I hope that will not turn into reality.
Still I am not tired
no matter what I do.
I close my eyes again,
but still no sleep comes.
Even if I can fall asleep,
the desertion dream comes again.
Nothing wants to make it go away.
Here I sit cigarette in one hand
and a cup of coffee in the other,
sleepless in Portsmouth.
Anxious.
Hoping what I am dreaming
isn’t going to come true.
Excitement some might call it,
but dread is my word for it.
The loss of communication
points to its possibility.
Is what I am dreaming a warning
of my future reality?
My life seems in tatters
and there is nothing I can do.
I am left in a limbo
with so much unsaid
and my torment goes on and on.
While all the time I am saying to myself,
come on David get back to bed.
How can I?
When all I see is nothing
at the other end waiting for me.
I am now beginning to wonder
if this was all a mistake
and what will be waiting for us
when we touch down
after nine and a half hours in the air.
All I can do is pray is someone
will say something to ease the anxiety I am feeling.
In the mean time, I will remain
sleepless in Portsmouth.

Matter Of Decision
Id be home free if I could make up my mind,
What to do about you.
One minute I think I love you, the next Im playing the fool.
Youre such a part of me, cant tear myself away from you.
Dont care what people say, I just wanna be close.
Ive changed my mind a thousand times,
Now its a case of do or die.
Theres no more time to reason why.
Now its a matter of decision,
Why cant I make up my mind?
I cant stand this indecision,
Im going out of my mind.
The world is in such a sorry state.
In the papers, in the news.
Politicians cant see their hands from their feet,
Nobody cares about the truth.
Wish I could make the world a better place for you and me.
You always run and hide, I only wanna be close.
The teachers stuff your head with lies,
And make it hard to realize,
Whats going on, whats wrong, whats right.
Well, its a matter of decision,
We all must make a stand,
For everything that we believe in,
Every woman, every man.
Its a matter of decision.
A matter of decision, a matter of decision.

It Is Best to Leave a Love...
Everywhere you go,
I just know...
You are there,
In a 'somewhere' without me...
Thinking.
And in my mind,
I can see you.
Wondering what it is,
I may be going through.
And who may be here,
Near.
And everyone who knows us both...
Show surprise,
We aren't together gazing into each others' eyes.
Wondering what went wrong,
And why...
We now do not get along.
Have you crossed border?
Because you felt you ought to be alone?
Have you put your life in order...
And sorted me out,
To be on your own!
And my heart doesn't matter.
Or the fact my emotions now roam,
Without a place to stay with you...
In a space we shared once called home.
And you care less who I see and what I do?
Everywhere you go,
I just know...
You are there,
In a 'somewhere' without me...
Thinking.
Deeply...
'It is best to leave a love we once knew,
To let go.
Allowed to drift away!
Until it no longer exists.
Regardless of what those wishes are.
Or what others have to say.
I am done with it...
And you! '

Where Were You?
where were you when
i needed you?
i spilled some lima beans in my bed
and my wife shall gather them all to me
and i ask her
how many are these beans specifically
it will take her time
i spilled ketsup in my white shirt
and my wife will have to clean it for me
she will wash it
with soap and water and dry it in the sun
it will take her time
so, let me tell you i am thinking of you
while she picks the lima beans and counts them
in specific numbers
so let me tell you that i am thinking of you
when she washes my clothes and make them
all clean for me
so i will look like a decent man
let me tell frankly that i think of you while we make love
you are the bulb lighting in the darkness of my mind
i am so unkind
i am thinking of you
where were you when i needed you?
you are always in my mind.
that is your place, only in my mind
my wife is beside me.
she is concrete love to me.
your place is only in my mind
and you
cannot touch me.
like a cloud you will be here for the meantime
the right wind comes
and drifts you away
and you will no longer be in my mind
i guess things will turn out right
when the right wind comes along.
you are just a blue, ephemeral cloud.

The Stars
As I look at the stars, And am wondering if you see, The same ones I am, Or if your thinking of me.
This wanting you so much, No matter how far, Deep in my heart, Is right where you are.
Each time I look around, And see the wonders of this place, It could never compare to you, Or that beautiful smile on your face!

All This Time
All this time you kept distance
Thinking that I won’t know you
All this time you watched me from the distance
Thinking that I’d humiliate you
All this time you were following me
Thinking that I won’t need your company
All this time you were hesitating to call me
Thinking that I won’t reply you
All this time you were bearing this pain
Thinking that I don’t have feelings for you
All this time you loved me
Thinking that I’d hate you
At last when the time came
It’s me who’s thinking

Can't Fall Asleep
My thoughts keep me up at night,
my tears put me to sleep,
my dreams wake me up,
after only an hour of sleep.
I can't rest no more,
I can't fall back to sleep,
so I lie in bed for hours at a time,
watching the clock as the time keeps going by.
I toss and I turn,
trying to find something comforable,
but when I'm almost asleep,
my thoughts wake me up again.
So I lay there thinking the thoughts,
that wont leave me alone.
I try time and time again,
but I cant fall back to sleep.
Finally I fall asleep,
but then i quickly hear a noise,
it is my alarm telling me to get up for the day ahead,
but it doesnt realize that I've been up all night.
Thinking, thinking of those thoughts that won't let me sleep.
So I quickly turn off the annoying buzzing noise,
and there I lay in my bed,
dreading the day ahead.

Where You End And I Begin
(Chuck Jones, Templeton Thompson)
I guess I'm just one of those
Who believes there has to be a reason
For living and breathing
Every time you pull me close
Something tells me there'll be no more reaching
You're everything I'm needing
Oh, I don't know how it happened, I never thought I would
Find someone to complete me
Oh, I just can't explain it, this feeling that I get
Oh, ain't no way to name it, but I'm thinking baby
CHORUS:
Maybe it's the way you look at me
Like there'll never be another
I get swept away, baby when
We get so caught up in each other
I don't know where you end and I begin
Where you end and I begin
All it takes is just one kiss
I just wanna get lost in this emotion
Like the river and the ocean
Oh, when you wrap your arms around me, it happens every time
Time don't seem to matter
We'll always be together, I don't know what it is
That tells me it's forever
but I'm thinking baby
Repeat Chorus

When The Heartache Is Over
Once in a lifetime you find
Someone to show you the way
Someone to make your decisions
And I let you lead me astray
Who did you think you were fooling
Said you were missing me blind
But the truth is I knew you were lying
You were using me time after time
Chorus
When the heartache is over
I know I wont be missing you missing you
Wont look over my shoulder
cause I know that I can live without you
Oh live without you
Oh I can live without you
Time to move on with my life now
Leaving the past all behind
I can make my own decisions
It was only a matter of time
Sometimes I look back in anger
Thinking about all the pain
But I know that Im stronger without you
And that Ill never need you again

Missing You
Ohhh
I had to put the photographs of you away
It hurts so much to see you smile at me
Since youve been away I feel an empty space
That will never be replaced wid memories
Ohhh
I cant believe that its over
But this sure is a shame
But luv was not enough to make you stay
So I had to say goodbye to yesterday
You went away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (jus wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you (missing you)
Im missing you
Never thought each breath was gonna hurt soo much
The heavy on my heart jus wont subside
The time we spent together was jus not enough
So I guess thats why I jus cant say goodbye..noo
Ohh
I cant believe that its over
That the ties have all been freed
Still Id give the world jus to have one more day
(one more day)
Jus a chance for me top hold u close and say
Please dont go away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time (bout it all the time)
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you
Time will heel my wings and let me fly
(far away)
Far above the rive that I cry,ohhh
High above the borrow that has kept me from the truth
Somewhere out there youve been missing me ike Ive seen missing you

We all think Alike (Free Flow)
A dog and a cat,
sat and looked at one another.
Both wondering what each
was thinking.
The dog thought that the cat,
was thinking of running away.
That was not true the cat thought
if he makes a move; ' I'll claw him '.
The cat thought that the dog,
was thinking of food.
Maybe that was because of the way
he was eyeing him up.
Either way there were both wrong,
the cat was looking over the dogs shoulder at a bird.
And the dog was wondering, if underneath that fur
was a bone to chew?
Please take note, it does not matter
what you look like.
To guess what one is thinking, is not so difficult
we all think alike.
