Lush Life
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingue traces
That used to be there
You could see where theyd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve oclock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
A week in paris could ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
Ill forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
So Ill live a lush life in some small dive
And there Ill be, while I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where theyd been washed away
By too many through the day...
Twelve oclock tales.
Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me.
Ah yes! I was wrong...
Again,
I was wrong.
Life is lonely again,
And only last year everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again,
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.
A week in paris will ease the bite of it,
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
Ill forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
Ill live a lush life in some small dive...
And there Ill be, while I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..

Birthday Song
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
And though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new
You see I love the way you love me
Love the way you smile at me,
I love the way we live this life we're in
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you
You see I love the way you love me
Love the way you smile at me,
I love the way we live this life we're in
I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
There's so much magic I can do
Now you see me now you don't watch me dive below
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go
And I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing
'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song
I learned from you, and you can't even sing

A Time Of Life
In a time of life where there is only strife,
It is easy to forget about the meaning of life,
When the wheel of life turns too fast or too slow,
It is then that only the wise will know,
How to let go, let go so that we all can grow,
Same old faces but in different places,
Good and bad all leaving energetic traces,
The games we all want to keep playing,
When really we've just got nothing worth saying,
And there is no point in praying,
So where do you want to go?
There might still be some place left down below,
Or would you rather get up and grow?
What you reap, so shall you sow!
But it's never too late you know!
No need to shed a tear,
One day it will all be clear,
Everything in life is dear,
Just because you can't see it,
Doesn't mean that you can't believe it!
Just try and feel it,
Or maybe you can hear it,
Believe me we all need it!

Why is life...
Why is life,
So lonely.
Why is life,
So hard to understand.
Why is life,
Feel so fake.
Why is life,
So shitty.
Why is life,
So full of love.
Why is life,
Full of broken hearts.
Why is life,
Not fun at all.
Why is life,
Life...

Life Is Everywhere
Life is like a train,
but it is too much of pain.
Life has ups and downs,
which are totally round.
Life is like a pain,
each key has different sound.
Life is full of dreams,
as you want to deem.
Life is full of hope,
with the various scope.
Life is smile,
which last for while.
Life is like a dice,
which gives us many chance.
Life is like flower and sea,
which makes it melody.
Life is like a rainbow,
with full of different color show.
Life is so precious,
preserve it.
Life is a chance,
make use of it.
Life is lonely.
I'm life, You are life, We are life.

When Im Lonely
When I’m lonely
I’m NEVER ALONE
I’m surrounded by people
That is not my own
When I’m lonely
I’m ENCLOSED IN HATE
The madness in my mind
Over takes
When I’m lonely
I have people around me
MAKING ME FELL
Like I’m just a boundary
For ever in the shadows
Of all the smiling faces
Of this world
I sit at home
Screaming at the world
For casting me in its veil
When I’m lonely I shout out in SPITE
Why do I have to be lonely
Is there no one that’s my own
When I’m lonely
I imagine a valley
No life in sight
Just me being lonely
When I’m lonely
I close my eyes
I hope to wake up
To a surprise
I hope to find
Some one whose
Not lonely to guide me
I go insane
Being alone for so long
It affects your thoughts
When I’m lonely
I can not think
My thoughts are gone
It’s like my mind is not in sync
When I’m lonely
I Put on a smile
Fooling the world

So Wrong
You are so wrong because in this life very rarely people do care about others. I am really so alone and I have nobody in my life to love or even care about me. Maybe you will find someone else although for me it is going to be very hard. Most probably I will simply die in this lonely world where I am leading such a sad life. Your positive attitude is not always right because this life is full of shadows. It is impossible to fight this battle called life and you know I think I will crash very badly in it.

I Live Life
I will give my life for you
Do you know that it’s true
Coz I know my heart was made
Just for you… for you
(instrumental)
Help me baby
I think I’m going insane
Everytime you cross my mind
I forget what it’s like
To cry
I’ve tried so many times
To erase you out of my mind
But the more I tried
The more I crave for your smile… your smile
I live my life
Give what my heart desires
Just to reach you
And for your love
Everytime you smile at me
I forget all my fears
I live life
With just one smile
I live for this moment
First time, you smile
It makes me feel alright
Can’t define (can’t define)
The way you touch my life
With your smile
I live my life
With my dreams
With my fears
And it’s what makes me real
I live my life
To love
And to cry
And to feel that
One special smile

Its Better People
Its better people love one another
cause livin your life can be tough
Its better people speak to each other
Your shame is not enough
If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
Its cold inside
But its lonely in your bed
In your bed
And though we might be
But what you heard before
Was only sleepin in your brain
But if you came with me
The daysd never end
Would never be the same
Theyd never be the same
Theyd never be the same
Never be the same
Its better people love one another
cause livin your life can be tough
Its better people speak to each other
Your shame is not enough
If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
Its cold inside
But its lonely in your bed
In your bed
And though we might be
But what you heard before
Is sleeping in your brain
But if you came with me
The daysd never end
Would never be the same
Theyd never be the same
Theyd just go by a different name
Theyd never be the same

O So Lonely
O So Lonely
Are the days gone by.
When others enter your life
Then you push them by.
O So Lonely
When you were in control.
To love them or leave them
You were ever so bold.
O So Lonely
While you sit alone.
No one is there
To make your house a home.
O So Lonely
After all the hearts you break.
Did you ever think it was you
Who you'd really forsake?
O So Lonely
When life was just a dare.
You didn't take time to love
You didn't try to care.
O So Lonely
Have you learned the rule?
That its not just about you
But it does take two.
O So Lonely
Why sit and contemplate?
While others enjoy life
Its never too late.

Rest Of My Life
Suddenly, it happened so fast
I couldn't believe the news that I received
My heart stopped as I hit the floor
I fell to my knees cryin' Lord help me
No matter what time brings
All the changes we go through
In life there's some things
We just can't prepare for
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
I don't care what they think
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
Don't they know
True love never dies
I promise to love you for the rest of my life
Life goes on that's what they say
Time will heal all your pain away
But I feel, feel so alone and
Now you're gone how can I live on
No matter what time brings
All the changes we go through
In life there's some things
We just can't prepare for
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
I don't care what they think
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
Don't they know
True love never dies
I promise to love you for the rest of my life
Until I see you again
I'll hold on to sweet memories
I'll treasure the times we spent
I see I'd do anything
I see your face, I see your smile
Callin' out my name
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
I don't care what they think
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
Don't they know true love never dies
I promise to love you for the rest of my life
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
I don't care what they think
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
What they think
'Cause I promise, I promise
To love you for the rest of my life

Lonely, Needin Lovin
(kenny chesney/buddy brock/donny kees)
She comes in every morning at nine and sits down at her desk
Smiles and says hello to everybody and tries to do her best
To act like nothings wrong and nothings missin in her life
But her eyes tell a story
That her smile cant disguise
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Sometimes I wanna walk on over and tell her I can help
cause I know losing a love is tough
Ive been there myself
You still feel the pain long after all the tears have dried
And its so hard to cover up
The hurt you feel inside
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Well I wish I could hold her right now
And take her in my arms and show her
That love can still be found
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Somebody look in her eyes
Lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes

Rainbow of my Life
You put rainbow into my life
Different colors, so bright
Rainbows that full of life
That gives colors to the lonely skies
Rainbows end is a pot of gold they say
A treasure to keep as long you stay
Rainbow is like a man or a woman in our lives
It shines, gives us colors, gives us life
That would shine through the rest of our lives
But sometimes rainbows are gone
Not shining nor not giving colors in the clouds
Nor not giving life to the lonely skies
When its so hot and dry
Rainbows is like a life
Giving us water when everything is drought
Giving us colors when everything turns out dark
Making us smile for the different colors they had
You are like my rainbow
You give colors to my life
You give meaning to my lonely nights
But as like rainbows
Sometimes they are gone
Sometimes they don't show
Sometimes not giving us life
You are my rainbow
For a moment in my life
But now, my rainbow is gone
The shines, the colors, the bright
For my rainbow will never shine again
To my lonely life

Life Is A Dance For You To Dance To
Life is every where
Life
Life is a challenge
Life is a gift
Life is a chance
Life is a tragedy
Life is lonely
Life is pain
Life is full of frustration
Life is a mystery
Life is love
Life is made of hurt
Life is not a bed of roses
Life is a dance for you to dance
Life is every state of mind
What is life?
Life is a puzzle, solve it
Life is full of unexpected
Life is unexplainable

Life
Life is great
It’s full of fun and laughter
It makes you smile
Life’s full of colour
I know life can seem horrible
Trust me I’ve been there
But you just have to open your eyes
And forget everything, this is what you’re living for
Live life to the fullest
So you can say you did it all
Because life is truly beautiful
Have a look around you

Christiana Obobi
Live life the way you so see it and,
Love it when you do care;
For the fruit of love is full of passions.
Be very mindful and care for the people around you,
Because your true lover may be closer to you than you thought;
For life is full of surprises!
The beauty of life is like the beauty of a lady called, 'Christiana Obobi';
But be very gentle with her to win her love because,
She's very shy and lonely.
Make your moves towards her to express yourself,
And tell her about how much you care about her;
Because love is the key and you should let her know about it.
She needs the truth from you because she is lonely,
And she was my classmate and i do know much about her;
So do not tell her lies when you really lover her,
Because she is looking for a sincere man to marry her!
And love will come the way when you do the right thing.
