When The Ordinary Man Proposes Love To You
when the ordinary man proposes love to you
and you say no
for sure he does not insist
he quits
for gone was the time when he will promise you
the moon and the stars
no one will believe it anyway
for gone was the time when he kneels and
worships you like the queen of the night
honestly he has no time
for such a sentimental romance
you know very well
he cannot afford you even a brass ring
he simply has no money
he does not even have any work
neither can he find any
so if an ordinary man proposes
i love you
just say so if you love him so
for time is of the essence
and the cab is waiting
you are bound
eloping.

She Ain't Your Ordinary Girl
(Robert Jason)
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She don't love carelessly that's what I've always heard
'Can't use the usual lines she measures every word
No empty promises proof is what it takes to win her heart
The truth and nothing less, simple things that set her far apart
Save your diamonds and your furs she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
No midnight alibis, no foolish games for her
And if you cross the line you'll get what you deserve
But when you see her smile nothing seems to matter anymore
And in a little while you'll feel like you've never felt before
Like no other in the world, she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
Save your diamonds and your furs, she ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl

Ordinary Love
ooooh yeah, ohhhh, uh
well it's a simple thing
a look, a laugh, a clover ring
and all those little scenes, dreams are made of
and it's evident that when my hopes and prayers are spent
well there she came and there i went
ohhh, someone makes it mistifying
baby, theres just no denying that every time we touch
heavenly it's so divine, but you know what just blows my mind
is the miracle of love, just an ordinary love
just and ordinary love
it's just another day
i kiss goodbye and i'm on my way
rushin through the maze right back to your arms
and it's difficult, just a boy and just a girl
out on screen and around the world
ohhh, someone makes it mistifying
baby, theres just no denyingevery time we touch
heavenly it's so divine, but you know what just blows my mind
is the miracle of love, just an ordinary love
just and ordinary love, yeah, ohhh yeah
ooooh, someone makes it mistifying
baby, there's just no denying every time we touch
heavenly it's so divine, but you know what just blows my mind
it's the miracle of love, just an ordinary love

Ordinary Girl
How will I know if someone loves me
How will I know if there is no one else
Dying to have someone who loves me
But I want them to love me for myself
Looked for love in all the wrong places
I searched the moon and stars
Found myself lost in a world full of faces
The place I didn't look was my heart
I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
Ordinary
All I want is someone I can talk to
Someone I can lean on now and then
And I don't wanna lie, pretend I am someone else
I am just looking for a friend
My heart was going through so many changes,
I didn't know which way to turn
Just when I thought I had all of the answers
I found I still had so much to learn
I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
Ordinary
Someone to love me
Ordinary
I just wanna feel lost in love forever
wanna see that look in your eyes
I hope that you understand what I am saying, baby
Cause girl I need you right by my side
I've been all around the world trying to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself
the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl
Ordinary
Someone to love me
Ordinary
[Talking:]
You know I've been all around the world
trying to find someone new
he, you know what e

Undesrtanding Art
exercises of the mind,
this morning chill and the waiting hours,
i open the window
to see what they call is another
ordinary day,
a vine hangs in the garden wire
freely it gives three flowers
which the wind takes away,
i take time
this is the moment of conversion
when the ordinary day becomes
special when the three flowers
symbolize the trinity
of faith, hope and love,
the ordinary human eye
seeing the whole world
in such a short time
such beauty,
art plus
sensitivity and
humanity

What About Love?
What about love?
What about love?
All alone at night?
What about love?
When the sun is bright,
What about love?
When life gets you down,
What about love?
Got your face all in a frown?
What about love?
Well there's no time like now,
So stand up and be counted,
Yeah it's time to take a bow,
Searchlights on you now girl!
Set your aim high,
Shoot the stars out of the night sky!
To your heart you just can't lie!
Tonight we'll hear the Moon sigh,
What about love?
What about love?
When you're stuck in a rut,
What about love?
When you're out of luck,
What about love?
Wanna come unstuck?
What about love?
What are you waiting for?
What about love?
What are we all waiting for?
What are we all waiting for?

Dark Night
Night dark but your lies were darker
Night cruel but your love more crueler
Night all alone yet better than your absent minded with me
Night was the time i gave my whole to you
Night was the time you slapped my face
Night was the day you pushed me to the door.
Night was the time you abused me
Night was the time you slit my tongue
Night was the time the moon refuses to smile at us
Night was the time i lost you
Night was the time you left me all in the rain
Night was the time i cry you a river
Night under the tree you promise me your undying love
Night was the time you bid me goodbye
Night was the time you threw a stone into my glassy world.

Take Time
You can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready ?
On your mark begin
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Do you feel your life's a big mistake ?
Don't you hate the way it's all so fake ?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel
All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we're buying one in every size
Can't you see it in the children's eyes ?
It's about to get wild
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Ha yeah
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
Any you want it
You can have it any way you want it
Hey hey
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
Any you want it
You can have it any way you want it
Hey hey
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
You can have it any way you want it
You can have it any way you want it

A little extra, from an extra ordinary woman
She goes out of her way and travels that extra mile
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She consoles you, smiles with you, cries with you and for you
A little extra than anyone else
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She spends on you a little extra than she does on her own self
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She uses her extra strength and wisdom to pick you up when you fall
She blinds her sight to your imperfections
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She loves you a little extra just to stand out different
From all those who love you
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She starves herself so that you may eat a little extra
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She forgives you all the time
Even when you guilty mind knows you don’t deserve such kindness
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She may not be the most perfect woman but
She is indeed an extra ordinary woman
She is your mother, your wife, your fiancee, your girlfriend
Your sister, your grandmother and your daughter
You best appreciate her

Sonnet: Time Is Most Precious
The time given by God is most precious;
One can’t afford to waste by any means;
Yet, God has been to everyone gracious;
He watches always all the earthly scenes.
There is no time to feel jealous or fight;
There is no time to waste in gambling games;
There is no time to sleep enough at night;
There is no time to achieve many aims.
There is no time to love your neighbor/hate;
There is no time to wonder why or find;
There is no time to earn enough or mate;
There is no time to work or rest your mind.
So, make the best use of your precious time;
Love God, His creatures: make your life sublime.

Ordinary Girl
I see her there in her plain print dress and her fading youth
Something about her opens up my soul
Something about her speaks the truth
When the sky is falling
She makes the world go away baby and I tell the truth
Theres a plainness and a sameness to her touch
Oh yeah and its beautiful
I love an ordinary girl
Oh shes just an ordinary girl
I say I love you I know its just an ordinary sound
We make love in our ordinary house
Yeah its built on common ground and we know it baby
We go out walking on an friday night in ordinary town
Theres a sameness and a plainness to it all
Oh yeah and its beautiful
I love an ordinary girl
Yeah shes just an ordinary girl
Another day, another battle
We shake the cage, our sabers rattle
Nothing that matters comes easy
Nothing that comes easy ever really matters
Oh (everything I am) shes an ordinary girl (anything I plan)
I love her (for everything that I stand)
Shes an ordinary girl (Im just an ordinary man)
Yeah shes (in everything I do) just an ordinary girl
(in everything thats true) I love her (in everything I plan)
Just an ordinary girl (Im an ordinary man)...

Before We Get Any Closer
(r.j. scott/ c. stevens)
Producer for bonnie: r.j. scott
Before we get any closer
Before we let it begin
Before our feelings take over us
I wanna tell you one thing
Im just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in her life
I wont pretend to me more than I am
Ive had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
Im just an ordinary girl
Who wants to reach out and find
Someone who honestly feels like I do
Love is so a fragile thing Id sooner never begin
Than to find out too late, its not true
Before we get any closer
Before we tell any lies
Before we make any promises
We really ought to decide
Is this a casual event
Two ships that pass in the night
Could we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings and most
Could ever know for the whole of their lives
Before we get any closer
Before we two become us
I need to know if youll always be
Someone to totally trust
Im just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in her life
I wont pretend to me more than I am
Ive had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
Is this the casual event
Two ships that pass in the night
Could we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings and most
Couldnt ever know for the whole of their lives

If Youve Got Love
(steve seskin/mark d. sanders)
If youve got faith
And you believe in what youre living for
You can stand your ground when the devils at your door
And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough
But theres nothing quite like life if youve got love
If youve got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
Its what you can do if youve got love in your heart
Now theres nothing like a real good friend
To tell your troubles to
But theres just so much a real good friend can do
cause it takes anothers touch to chase the darkest blues away
If youve got love youve got what it takes
If youve got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
Its what you can do if youve got love in your heart
If youve got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
Its what you can do if youve got love in your heart
Its what you can do if youve got love in your heart
(if youve got love) you can move a mountain
Further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn a picture into a priceless work of art...

Angels & Lovers (Angel's Delight Mix)
There's a whisper on the wind tonight
It tells me what the angels and lovers said
This desire
Is not ordinary
Love is screaming at you
If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
Just believe it's your time here is the sign what angels and lovers find
You find a love like this once in your life
A diamond in your hand not a piece of glass
Picture you
Looking back on what you've
Done to lose all this time
If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
If the sea should turn dry don't let him fly don't say goodbye
If the planets collide don't run and hide change his mind
Just believe it's your time here is the sign what angels and lovers find
This desire
Is not ordinary
Love is screaming at you
If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
If the sea should turn dry don't let him fly don't say goodbye
If the planets collide don't run and hide change his mind

Spend It
Whether love is time
Or love is money
I'd spend it all on you
If love is time I've got millenniums
Each and every second is for you
If it is, I've got all the time in the world
I've got time to fully demonstrate
My feelings for you in it's entirety
I've got time to prove my real love
If love is time 24 hours is a kiss
A week is seeing you smile
A month is but a hug from you
If love is time a year is one conversation
Seconds apart are like decades
Centuries are as our hearts beating as one
If love is money your face is on the bills
Since that's the case I won't spend a dime
That way i'll stay filthy rich
If love is money ill pay the exact amount
Because I don't want change
Plus the fact that its tax free
If love is money I'll put it all in the bank,
And let the interest make it increase
And no matter the amount in there it's always insured
If love is money I'd never be broke
That is, as long as you are mine
-Well like I said I'd never be broke
If love is money I work endless hours to attain it
I'd work as many jobs as possible
And then blow every cent on you
If love is money I'd invest it all
With no fear of a financial loss
And reap the largest return possible
If love is time
And love is money
It's an inconceivable concept to say 'I wasted it on you'

A Night Romance!
Night is the time for enjoyment in life forever;
Night without end is what all dream about long!
Will that dream materialize only after death...?
Romantic atmosphere created by stars and moon
Kindles passionate love affair to enact on the stage
Act after act art of romantic love game to go on...!
Audience is teased to the core such a love drama
To go on sans end in the long course of night.....;
But night has not that decree to do so by nature!
Paradise of earth is a time bound programme....
And heaven is the limitless pleasure dome all
Dream about to reach one day in all life here....!
Night time is the bird in hand worth two in bush
No one can wish to waste in life in romance & love!

He Who Finds Love
He who finds love in his heart will not totter on hatred’s wind torn hill nor falter at the ledge of jealousy nor fall in the fields of the mischievous plans plotted by the hands of the envious and the cruel.
Love is an eternal essence that has always been before time began and will exist after time has ceased. Love is the mysterious substance that will transport us to a spiritual place when the time has arrived to dispose of the body and continue the endless journey unseen; Love is the seed that falls from our flower into the ground of others and lives there forever; Love is the kindness of offering food to a stranger who receives it as an angel of God.
In life, there are jobs, vocations, and careers, and then there is everyone’s real work. The real work is the work born out of love, done for love, and completed by love. At the end of the day, it is not money or material success that will comfort your soul when you fall asleep upon your pillow but the understanding that you honestly undertook your real work.
And there is no greater failure you can ever undergo than have the time and ability to feel love, share love, express love and be love and realize you never did so.

Love The Time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
You have for you
Love the time you spend outside
Because this nice weather won't last very long
Fall is on its way soon
Love the time
To listen for the song of the birds
This might be the last time
Love the time
You have to reflect on your life
Love the time
You are worshiping God
Love the time that you are discovering your feelings
Love the time that you are learning about yourself
Love the time
Your soul waits in silence for God only
He is your rock and your salvation
Love the time
To dream
Love the time to paint a picture in your mind
Love the time
When you have a positive attitude
Love the time
When you are in the valley of the shadow
You will fear no evil
Because you are with God now
Love the time
Because you belong together with God
Love the time
That you are being yourself
Love the time
That you are moving on
And doing better things to improve your spirit
Love the time that you are gaining your trust back
Love the time that you are gaining self respect
Love the time that you are building your self esteem up
Love the time that you are watching the gold star at night
Love the time that God carried you to solidarity
Love the time that God will bear you up
So that you will not strike your foot against a stone
Love the time that you saw the great light
Because there were people that were sitting in the dark
And you were the lucky one
Love the time that God has opened up the door for you
Love the time that God has given you a chance
Love the time to know that the past is a part of you
Love the time that God is comforting you when you are sad
Love the time when you see writings on the wall
That you can read
Love the time to enjoy your freedom
Love the time when you are flying on the airplane
And looking out through the Airplane window
The sunset in the sky
Love the time when you sing out the blues
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time that God will set you free
Love the time when the sun will rise early in the morning in the summer
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time to know that age is no barrier to beauty

Love, love
Love that never comes closer
Time, time
Time that never dances together
Lucky for destiny
Or work hard for tiny?
Love, love
Love that never stays forever

Prone for fidelity
Or obsessed for dignity?

Love that never shines brighter
Time, time
Time that never waits longer
