As Love Decayed
When I'm here alone
and in the shade
my dreams turn to dust
and the roses fade
the jester like a fool
has been played
I remember you
and the promises made
But the days go as they must
as a heart turns to stone
just look at the waters
and see how we grown
The tears fall as you have shown
and all that reamains is gone
their is no more trust
as love decayed
but still I know I'll find paradise
when I look into your eye's

I Give To You
I give to you my only love
the stars that are shining above
the life of the rising sun
and every color in the sky
when it starts to set
I give to you every promise I made
the moon and the evening shade
roses when the dreams start to fade
so you will never forget
I give to you the summer rain
when the autumn leaves start to fall
and when winter slowly passes by
I'll be there like frost on a window payne
to keep you warm and dry
Cause girl you are the only one
that completes this world of mine
when I feel it's come undone
and I give to you it all
til the end of time

Yesterday Now Just A Memory
Now these days gone by
I see you only in my dream
you're always there somewhere
but never here next to me
my head held low
I had to let you go
I knew it had to be
now you must set me free
Like yesterday now just a memory
torn and frayed
love was lost as it would seem
to this scene we already played
as I walk on alone
through this bitter December cold
with nothing left to hold
there's nothing left here to try
with yesterday now just a memory
promises we made are forever gone
these tears turned to a heart of stone
all these years on this highway I roam
So many roads I traveled down
gone town to town
but with yesterday now just a memory
none never lead me back home

Remember, I AM
When all their backs have been turned
When all your bridges have burned
When you forget to teach and learn
When all your tears fall down your face
When all your smiles go to waste
When your heart does no longer race
Remember, I AM
When you can't remember where you're from
When you've forgotten about true love
When you don't know which way is up
When you can't seem to understand
When you find you can't trust a man
When your foundation is made of sand
Remember, I AM
Remember I AM and I always will BE
Remember there is none like Me
Believe in what you cannot see?
Believe. Believe. Believe in Me.
Remember I AM when you don't know who you are
Remember I AM when someone breaks your heart
Remember I AM when you're torn all apart
Remember, I AM when you don't know where to start
When all your dreams turn to nothing
When your mouth forgets to sing
And when your phone no longer rings
When it seems no one does care
When you find no one is there
When you don't feel all that rare
Remember, I AM

Still
Tears of yesterday
we both cried
years forever gone
still we both tried
still nothing left for us to do
So I gave in to you
all that we been through
saw the bright lights
in that lonely desert town
as we watched the sun go down
shimmering off in a distance
Still we thought we'd give it a chance
left in this masquerade
standing here, no-one left to dance
as we both turned to walk away
love wasting the nights
still we had nothing left to say
And when it was all said and done
I seen you still turn around
losing what you already found
still wasn't enough to make you stay
With broken promises once made
this games already been played
still the memories seem to never fade
as I see you there alone
still never to come home

I Can't Say
Girl I can't say to you just when
and don't know where we'll end up then
or if this love will ever shine on us again
the way that we wanted it to
but I know that I love you
And I can't say just how
if we can even make it somehow
or say I do with a broken vow
but I know I need you here now
And I can't say what tomorrow will bring
promise you dreams and give you nothing
knowing their are days I can't make the sun shine
or deliver to you a blue sky
as we watch the gray turn to rain
But I know I can give you a little something
and dry your tears you cry
comfort you in your time of pain
and keep your heart here with mine

Walk On Alone
I had to leave you far behind
just wanting to forget the past
with your tear stain on my shirt
from a love that couldn't last
and one we would never find
All that we had left here
was only the pain and hurt
and memories not worth us to share
so we walk on alone in despair
with a love that wasn't enough to care
and broken days we can never rewind
We looked at this love blind
so letting go I had to you there
and I walk on alone
never to look back again
leaving you and this love in vain
Tired of all the tears that we shed
that fell from our eye's like rain
now not worth crying
inside you left me dying
on a path I feared to tread
and turned my heart to stone

Fade to Black
Do you think of me
or am I just a forgotten memory
like the others before
when you look back
do I cross your mind
this love you made so blind
or does it just fade to black
Should I still feel this way
like it was only yesterday
I watched you walk away
As I travel down
this empty highway
I fade to black
Tell me was he hard to find
or did it just come so easy
the first time he made you smile
Do you look at him
to see me standing there
do you just not care anymore
as you watch another day
fade to black
As I drive another lonely mile
farther from you on this dusty road
do you ever miss me at all
baby, just for a little while
while you watch the night fall
in that big open sky
do you ever cry
or just fade to black
So many nights pass us by
still my arms are empty
while he's holding you tight
loving you til the morning light
my love rolls down a one way track
yeah, I look back
you're nowhere to be found
I try to turn around
I fade to black
Do you think of me
girl, how you lost your best friend
or do you try to pretend
I was just a beginning to an end
as you fade to black

Promises
Remember how it used to be,
Remember how you promised me,
That life would always be good,
You forget the fact you lied to me,
You locked my heart and threw the key,
I'm so misunderstood,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember how I gave my heart,
And all at once we fell apart,
Was I supposed to forgive you,
You forgot the fact you said to me,
That we were for eternity,
You're so easy to see through,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember that I'm over you,
And know that I will make it through,
Hope you never forget it,
The promises you made to me,
Were really lies and fantasy,
Hope you come to regret it,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises,
The promises we used to keep have gone,
And with them all the words,
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong,
The rest is silent, What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises.

Tear's On A Rose
You look at love blind
with your eye's close
slipping farther away
you let it go
then turn around to reach for me
but now I'm gone
you lost everything you know
Days forever pass
we can never rewind
dreams shatter like broken glass
now you're just a silhouette
outside my window
with nothing left for us to find
but tears on a rose
Seems it was harder to try
than it was to forget
so we both go our seperate way
it was the road we chose
with nothing left but good-bye
and tears on a rose

Couldn't Save Me
You couldn't hold on
so I had to let you go
it just got so damn hard to fight
how I started to feel
and the pain started to show
where nothing here with you was real
and I couldn't make it through
another night
My tears for you froze
that no longer fall anymore
as my heart turned to stone
you were always here close
but I always felt so alone
you couldn't save me and now I'm gone
leaving what I couldn't take nomore

Drowning In Blue
When this world has you down
you feel no one is around
and you can't keep
both feet on the ground
nothing seems worth the cost
you've given up and can't even try
drowning in blue
you feel there's nothing left for you
When your dreams disappear
and you think no one will care
know inside your heart
Heaven is always there
with so much to share
on a brand new start
When the smile on your face
turns into a frown
and all seems lost
you feel another piece of you die
unable to make it through
drowning in blue
you dream of something new
So just wipe away your tears
forget all your fears
with a little faith and trust
everything will fall into place
and Heaven will shine down her Grace

Wanting to hold you
I woke to the rising of the morning sun
reached out wanting to hold you
only to realize you were gone
and you won't be coming home
Listening to the sound of the wind
blowing through the chimes
bringing back the memories of you my friend
taking away the times
wanting to hold you again
Looked up to the sky
to see if I could see you fly
with every angel passing by
while my heart bleeds and turns to stone
I hold on to your love so true
waiting to meet you in the end

Our Children (Paradise Lost)
Look at everything we have done
killing field's of paradise lost
nothing will be left here anymore
for us to carry on
our children weep forever more
Earth destroyed by our own hand
mountains fall, tremble to the sea
people now no longer free
now our children are all gone
was it worth the cost
Blood stain's left in the sand
memories of yesterday
washed away upon the shore
darkened behind clouds of gray
where our children use to play
paradise lost for sure
Dreams vanish in the night
do you still think it was right
when our children no longer
see the setting sun
fade into the horizon
like generations before
paradise now lost forever

See The Light
Walk forever beside me
and I will show you wisdom
so that you may see
tell others of my words
that upon you I will speak
of these days to come
and they too will see the light
so then they will not be weak
teach of the old ways
that I have shown you
and they also will find days of new
through the darkness of night

It Hurts
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Its all a matter of trust, admit it
You cant take it if youre lyin down
Your eyes open with the talk of commitment
Gotta tell you girl, its breakin my heart
Has been right from the start
Im feelin alone, its takin my breath away
And while Ill admit that its out of control
All by myself, I just fade away
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made
Breakin my heart, you come round every day
Somethin for nothin, it turns out that way, and it hurts
Another night, another bad situation
At this moment, I cant tell you why
Its all true, you go back in your position
Ill say it straight girl, youre breakin my back
I turn right round that track, Im headin for home
Its takin my breath away
I never lost sight from the moment we touched
Baby I saw it, I just looked away
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made
Breakin my heart, you come round every day
Somethin for nothin, it turns out that way
It hurts, yeah, when you play the fool
It hurts when you fall in love, huh
It hurts, itll break you in two
It hurts you when youve had enough, alright
Ooh yeah, this could go on forever
Until theres no one to blame baby
We all make mistakes, tell the truth girl
Its breakin my heart
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, yeah you got it made
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, cause it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made
Breakin my heart, you come round every day
Somethin for nothin, it turns out that way, and it hurts

Heart Turns To Stone
The days and nights you sit around wondering where can
She be
Hoping that she might appear, out of nowhere
But you fail to see
All the hurt inside, the wounded pride
Ooh what she went through for you
You cheated and lied, as her love slowly died
And her heart just broke in two
When she was with you, all along
Behind you right or wrong
She tried to hold on, hold on
But you went too far, and shes gone
And now its over and her heart turns to stone
No time for pity, when her heart turns to stone
She cries a little as her heart turns to stone
Shes that kind of woman
Shell do fine on her own
What you thought was a game
A game you were winning
Wouldnt go your way
Now youve lost what you had
And your back to the beginning
Its the price you have to pay
When she was with you, all along
Behind you right or wrong
She tried to hold on, hold on
But you went too far, and shes gone
And now its over and her heart turns to stone
No time for pity, when her heart turns to stone
She cries a little as her heart turns to stone
Shes that kind of woman
Shell get by on her own
She hides the pain
But her heart turns to stone
No time for pity
When her heart turns to stone
She cries sometimes
As her heart turns to stone
Shes that kind of woman
Shell get by on her own
Yeah its over
And her heart turns to stone
Dont look for pity now
When her heart turns to stone
Listen to her cry
Listen to her cry
Shes a woman now
Ooh its a sad thing to see
To see a heart turn to stone
The heart of a woman
A heart turned to stone

Faded Memories
I saw you in only a dream
you were there next to me
shining bright through the night
like rays of sunshine in the morning light
and on your lips a taste of paradise
as if heaven was all around me
You had a sparkle in your eyes
like diamonds glittering in the sun
and a smile on your face
you were always such a beautiful one
But as I held my head low
I could only watch you slowly go
said it just had to be
now you must set me free
walk away from this forgotten place
there's nothing left to save anymore
And like faded memories torn and frayed
love was forever lost it would seem
as I walked on alone
felt I been here once before
with these faded memories we once made
tears turned my heart into stone
when I knew you were never coming home
Was a time I needed you as I watched you leave
through those years that passed on by
thought I could never forget you
and all that we been through
still I find it hard to believe
how this love for you will never die

Suicidal Mind
This world crumbles before me
the days turn dark and cold
something inside my soul
eating away my flesh
torn and frayed
it's such a mess
nothing here left to hold
In this suicidal mind
where only demons you will find
Tortured by the pain
can't escape your misery
I tried to refrain
these games we played
hear the sound of silence
sealed with a kiss
memories I can't let go
that leave me like this
Haunted by your presence
I think of days of old
with blood in my eyes
lost in a endless day
hiding from myself
facing reality with your lies
In this suicidal mind
where only demons you will find
Now as the sun filled skies
turns dim and gray
with words of angony
every heartbeat dies
with every fallen ones cries

Broken Promises
Summer and smoke, diamonds and dust
Go where you will, do what you must
The promise was made, your word was enough
We had dreams, visions and plans
Into the night, out of our hands
Letting our passion fulfill our demands
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
Does it seem like so long ago?
*broken promises
Is it written in stone that we wind up alone
Wo oh, broken promises
And a heart that recalls
When the promise was all that we had*
Into the dust, reckless we rode
Secret desire, talking in code
Bittersweet madness, the stories unfold
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
And how it hurts to remember those
( * repeat)

Promises
Promises are comfort to a fool.
And I'm that fool.
In our many years of existence we have all had the leading role of being that fool.
Onto promises.......
I have numerous Oscar's for I know I play that role oh so well.
I wondered why do I fall victim to this.
The purpose of a promise was never to break it
BUT.....
If it is broken it becomes a lie.
I wondered why do I fall victim to promises.
It is maybe because I'm a Promise Keeper.
I am an addict for promises.
I could never stay away from it.
Never stop believe in it.
A promise is equivalent to 'say what you mean' and 'mean what you say'.
So when a promise is made to me it is align with the saying,
'It's like taking candy from a baby'.
Not naive for I know never to believe in Promises.
Optimistic, maybe.
I always believe in promises.
WHY? ?
Because when I make them I do my best to keep them no matter the circumstances.
Promises are my Opium.
But I must say most of the promises made to me were kept.
But as for now, , , I'm getting the bad side effects.
