many happy returns
my friend
we shall be back from
where we started
getting to know each other
retrieving the excitement
long gone

Age
Ive been up and down and around and round and back again
Ive been so many places I cant remember where or when
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
Ive traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
Ive turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
Once I had myself a million, now Ive only got a dime
The diffrence dont seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind
Ive traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
Ive turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
And now Im in my second circle and Im headin for the top
Ive learned a lot of things along the way
Ill be careful while Im climbin cause it hurts a lot to drop
When your down nobody gives a damn anyway
Ive traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
Ive turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again

Do It Again
Standing in the middle of nowhere,
Wondering how to begin.
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday,
Between now and then.
And now were back where we started,
Here we go round again.
Day after day I get up and I say
I better do it again.
Where are all the people going?
Round and round till we reach the end.
One day leading to another,
Get up, go out, do it again.
Then its back where you started,
Here we go round again.
Back where you started,
Come on do it again.
And you think today is going to be better,
Change the world and do it again.
Give it all up and start all over,
You say you will but you dont know when.
Then its back where you started,
Here we go round again.
Day after day I get up and I say
Come on do it again.
The days go by and you wish you were a different guy,
Different friends and a new set of clothes.
You make alterations and affect a new pose,
A new house, a new car, a new job, a new nose.
But its superficial and its only skin deep,
Because the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep.
Get back, get back.
Back where you started, here we go round again,
Back where you started, come on do it again.
Back where you started, here we go round again,
Day after day I get up and I say, do it again.
Do it again.
Day after day I get up and I say, come on do it again.

Happy
I feel very happy :)
Whenever he comes back
From his official tours…
However much
We bicker, squabble
Or fight,
Something
Just doesn't
Feel right -
When he isn't
There with me.
We've been a couple
For more than twelve
Years now…
I'm so used to his
Presence, that his
Absence irks me.
He's my life's
Best friend,
Loving and
Accepting me
The way I am.
No wonder,
Whenever
He returns
Home from his
Tours, it feels like
Happy homecoming
To me :)

Many Happy Returns
When I accepted this job
I was resigned to my fate
When I got there early
Shed arrive late
You can say shes gone forever
Or just sit tight and wait
She said I was unprincipled
That I was not the first
Like the phoenix coming back
From the ashes, uh-huh
I know whats good,
But I know what trash is
In the head-lights,
In the highlights of her hair...
Hit the head lines
But shes not there:
_ chorus:
Many happy returns
Many happy returns
These are the lessons I could have learned
Return. many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
Okay, Im sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Like the world, spinning round
On its axis, uh-huh
I know democracy
But I know whats fascist
When shes gone, all I got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When shes here, one thing Ive found
Things get better second time around
_ chorus
Okay Im sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Now shes gone, shes gone away
Now shes gone forget her
Coming back another day
If youd only let her
Now shes gone, shes gone away
But shes gone forget her
Coming back another day
So why resurrect her?

When A Friend
When a friend drinks
When a friend bleeds,
Do not freak out.
When a friend takes a puff
Or says sex just wasn't enough,
Do not sit there and pout.
When a friend gets really high
When a friend is about to die,
Do not leave their frikken side.
When a friend is drunk
When a friend gets fucked,
Don't leave them, be there.
When a friend starves
When a friend barfs,
Let them know you care.
When a friend needs you there
When a friend says their scared,
Go see them, and just be with them.
When a friend gets abused
When a friend has just been used,
Hug them and say it'll okay, offer help.
When you're getting torn down
But a friend has a very long frown,
Be happy so that you can cheer them up.
Don't overstress
Dont become a mess,
You're life will only get worse.
If you need more advice
I shall suffice,
Just talk to me, or call.

Today I Started Loving You Again
Well today, I started lovin you again
Now Im right back where Ive really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started lovin you again.
What a fool I was to think I could get back
With only these few million tears Ive cried
I should have known the world is too short to come
And the cryin time for me has just begun.
Well today, I started lovin you again
Now Im right back where Ive really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started lovin you again...

Happiness Is A Decision
i have long decided
to be a happy man, and till this day
i stick to this decision,
sailing on the ship of happiness
along the sea of joy
the foams of excitement
the winds of bliss
There is no grief in this world
of responsibility
For God loves a happy man
The smile beneath
the heart that sings
the hands that wave
in celebration
The self in collaboration with
Nature in Harmony
With the happy disposition of
the Earth

Today I started loving you again
Im right back where Ive really always been
Got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears Ive cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again

I'm So Happy
(brenda russel/a. rich/chris difford)
What a sweet surprise
Can't believe my eyes
This has really made my day
It's so out of the blue
Runnin' in to you
That i just don't know what to say
It's so hard to forget the last time we met
How everything just went so wrong
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since i don't know when to see you again
It does my heart good
Oh, you know i could
Just break down and cry
Always felt so bad
It still makes me sad for the way we said goodbye
Oh, but seeing you here brings it back so clear
We've been apart for too long
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since i don't know when to see you again
I'm so happy now
But has another found a love that i let down
Love failed to recognize
And if you're still all alone
Well baby, come back home
And let's give it one more try
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since i don't know, i don't know when to see you again
Ooh i'm so happy now
I'm so aah-aah-aah-aah-
I don't know when to see you again
To say it boy, you know, you know i'm so happy now
I'm so aah-aah-aah-aah-
I don't know when to see you again
Yeah, i'm so happy now

Lost Her
I still have so much work to do as I have to write an assignment today. Have not started writing it as yet. Feel so confused in my thoughts as every day is so depressing. Honestly, it hurts being me as yesterday I thought I had found a friend whom I was searching since so long but it was not to be as she just is not talking to me anymore. She appears to be online but when I say 'Hi' to her, she has started ignoring me. It hurts so much since nobody loves me and no friend I have.

My Dear Friend
you have been there for me no matter what
you have pick me up when i fall down
my dear friend
you are the reason why i am still alive
you are the reason why i can love again
because of you i have the strength to fight against enemies
you understand the pain i'm going through
you make me stand up on my feet
my dear friend
you have always there waiting for my call
you have always put a smile on my face when i feel sad
my dear friend
what would i do without you
who would i be without you
you never avoided me like everybody else
god drift us apart
we no longer see each other face again
my dear friend
everything seems different and harder when you're here
my tears are like waterfall
they keep on falling
my dear friend
please come back into my life
holding hands in the darkness
sing our favorite song until we fall asleep
my dear friend
let finish what we has started together
alone it will take years
my dear friend
you fight my fight
you got my back
my dear friend
how could i thank you
what should i do to please you
oh my dear, dear friend
it is a pleasure to have you as a friend
thank you my dear, dear friend

Girlfriend
Hook
Before the house, before the kids
Before the history and all the years
Can we take it back again?
Can I be your girlfriend?
Before the fights, before the storms
Before the silence, before this song
Can we take it back to then?
Can I be your girlfriend?
Verse i
Do you remember, remember when just you and me baby
And nothing else exists?
Seems like a memory from way back when
But if we were happy before
We can be happy once again if we would
Take the time, do the things
Long before, vows and rings
Verse ii
I know you love me from deep within
Just look at our family and the life weve given them
But baby show me the way it is
Im not just a mother or your other
But a lover and your friend so can you?
Bridge
Flirty looks and playful eyes
All night calls and long good byes
Sneaking in because its late
The way we were on our 1st date
Butterflies and sweaty hands
Summer walks and makin plans
If we had it once before
We can get it back again like before

I Have A Friend
I have a friend who cannot walk
I have a friend all he does is talk
I have a friend, Philippe is his name
I have a friend and we are just the same
I have a friend he’s seventeen years old
I have a friend who has a heart of gold
I have a friend who would catch me if I fall
It is only that he has no legs at all
I have a friend and when my friend was seven
A car ran over him and he almost went to heaven
I have a friend with a smile that I adore
I have a friend who lives in a house of four
I have a friend his family is his home
I have a friend who dreams of visiting Rome
I have a friend who is still finishing school
Yet some people tell him that for that he is a fool
I have a friend they say he is disabled
He has no legs and for that he is labeled
I have a friend who has a friend
They were made for each other; their love will never end
I have a friend who likes to name the stars
I have a friend and what he hates is cars
I have a friend who’s happier than you and me
I have a friend who’s shown me how happy I can be
I have a friend who’s had his bad times too
I have a friend who’s better than me and you
I have a friend so dear to me and kind
That another one like him I shall never find!

When The Poem Returns Life Returns
WHEN THE POEM RETURNS LIFE RETURNS
When the poem returns life returns
There is enthusiasm and exuberance again
There is something to live for
And dreams are dreams
And hopes give hope-
When the poem returns life returns
And I begin again here
As if there is some sense after all
In writing and living again.

As I Was Talking About My Share Of The Sorrow
dear friend,
i am happy about you
here i am
writing a diary about my share of
sorrow
and as we chat
you go back to the past and
keeps on reminiscing about
the crush of your life,
as in forever...
i am happy about your illusions
since i have long destroyed mine
like i am as you see
a broken glass.
truly yours,
your ex-crush.

Trade You Lay
Don't get me started.
No don't get me started.
Don't get me started,
Don't!
You tell me for you I am the one,
But if I was younger...
I'd be fun.
But don't get me started.
Don't.
You want a poppa and a friend.
To toy around in your play pen.
Don't get me started.
Don't get me started,
Don't get me started,
Don't!
Because...
I refuse to be,
A piece of trade you lay.
I'm not that way.
No I...
Refuse to be,
Treated like a piece of meat!
Not today.
Don't get me started.
Don't get me started,
Don't get me started,
Don't!
Don't get me started.
Don't get me started,
Don't get me started,
Don't!
I...
Refuse to be,
Treated like a piece of meat.
Or a trade you lay.
Trade you lay.
Trade you lay.

Good & faithful friend
I was feeling sort of down and lonely,
I decided to reach out to an old and faithful friend
I walked into the family room
and put some mellow music on
I was then bacK
in stride once again
My old friend really knows
how to make me happy
What a true and special pal
The horn is really oh so snappy and
The keyboard's melodies simply has a smooth blend
My good friend music
Really lifted my spirit at just the right moment
When I really needed a friend
Now Iam happy, once again
Iam sincerely fortunate to
Have a friendship with music and
may our relationship never end

PlayTime
it's been so long
since she's had fun
not the innocent kind where
you play and run
the kind of fun
that requires a friend
the kind of fun that you wish
would never end
with the friend
that you hold dear
who can make you smile
each time they're near
playtime stopped
when she walked away
because her friend
started to stray
now alone and in need of help
trying to find a friend
who'll play the game
to no end
