Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

Continually our love surprises me
Continually our love does me surprise,
as sometimes you bring me pain
and sometimes you hold on to me
while sometimes it feels as if I am reaching into a whirlpool
but sometimes you take away everything bad.
Continually our love does me surprise,
and sometimes tears run over your cheeks
but sometimes it's as if the sun shines through your eyes
and sometimes you hold on to me
while our love is much stronger than just a maybe,
and I am smitten by the look on your face.
Continually our love does me surprise,
as if new depths continually comes to it,
you become part of my awareness
and sometimes you hold on to me
and it's as if we perfectly fit into each other's lives
while continually you are part of me, of my existence;
continually our love does me surprise,
and sometimes you hold on to me.

Blue Sky Memories (In Answer To O Ingrid Jonker, For Daleen)
Blue sky memories continually comes to me
of a day under a bright summer sun
as if a part of you stays lingering,
when I love you even more (if I could)
while continually you are snared in my remembering.
Even when times of bad weather want to come
there is an unbreakable bond between us,
while continually I am astounded by our love.
Blue sky memories continually lingers in my thoughts
when I forget all of my previous heartaches,
when continually I am lost in you
and I always know about the depth of our love.
The sparkling sun continuously brings new hope,
when we walk days, months and years together on a road.

A Soul's Prayer
Enflame my heart with love divine, O God;
Enkindle it with fountains of your grace;
Pour forth your wisdom in some way, O Lord;
Give me the heav'nly gaze and sheen of face!
This earthly life is good but bad as well;
It's ephemeral nature's clearly felt;
At times, the place becomes almost like hell;
My virtues, will-pow'r, faith and hope all melt!
Look down with favour Lord, upon this soul!
It writhes in pain and shame of sins galore;
Without your help, it can't improve its role;
Shower your grace and mercy ever more!
The crafty Tempter's always on the prowl;
I cannot keep alert all through my life;
My soul with sin soon brims, o'erflows its bowl;
My faith and hope seems lost in newer strife!
Hearken O Lord, to my pleas, cry, I pray!
Forsake me not for moment's time even;
My tongue turns dry by praying night and day;
I yearn to always keep on road to heav'n!

For my love is like ice
Put it in your armpit
It will melt
And make you wet
Put it in the coldness
of the freezer
in your ref
It will harden
And even crack
Put it under the
Sun and it will
Evaporate
Put me in your
Mouth and let
Me melt in your
Tongue
I become the water
drink me
To quench your
Thirst and i will
make You live

The Guy I Do Want
tell me what i want to hear,
sweet talk me,
make me fall in love,
make me think of you,
night and day,
cuz that the guy i do want,
treat me right,
and make me feel safe,
make my heart melt,
when you tell me you love me,
be all that you can be,
maybe more,
cuz that the guy i do want,
when i cry,
wipe my tears,
chase away my fears,
give me the hope,
to be all that i can,
help me feel whole,
when half of me is missing,
be there,
when i need you the most,
don't let me down,
cuz that the guy i do want,
somebody who can accept all of me,
mind, body and soul,
but yet,
somebody who understands me,
inside and out.

Father and Daughter
The bond, the love, the connection
When she looks at you, you melt
When she holds your hand, you melt
When she cuddles you, you melt
A pureness, an honesty, a total love
A desire to be there for each other
Distance is no matter, love travels
Always thinking, always loving
A genuine, long-lasting, never-ending togetherness
From life to death and beyond
A father and daughter's love will always live on
I love you, my daughter!

Tis Sweet to Think
Tis sweet to think that, where'er we rove,
We are sure to find something blissful and dear,
And that, when we're far from the lips that we love,
We've but to make love to the lips we are near.
The heart, like a tendril, accustom'd to cling,
Let it grow where it will, cannot flourish alone,
But will lean to the nearest and loveliest thing
It can twine with itself, and make closely its own.
Then oh! what pleasure, where'er we rove,
To be sure to find something, still, that is dear,
And to know, when far from the lips we love,
We've but to make love to the lips we are near.
'Twere a shame, when flowers around us rise,
To make light of the rest, if the rose isn't there,
And the world's so rich in resplendent eyes,
'Twere a pity to limit one's love to a pair.
Love's wing and the peacock's are nearly alike,
They are both of them bright, but the're changeable too,
And wherever a new beam of beauty can strike,
It will tincture Love's plume with a different hue.
Then oh! what pleasure, where'er we rove,
To be sure to find something, still, that is dear,
And to know, when far from the lips we love,
We've but to make love to the lips we are near.

It Is All About Love
They are the rare breed of the world of mystics,
And are like the supernatural acts of the soul;
Oh, how i feel i could touch them all.
However, i now squint back into my past.
Like the conscious of a missing like that needs a recall,
I see them pass me by;
As i sit here in my little appartment.
Yes, women of all shapes to touch my heart;
Like 'Men In Black' for an acion film.
It is all about love,
Like the women in black with more imaginations;
But at first, it was like a dream to me.
It is all about love and,
Love had taken control of the acts and the arts!
So you now know why i do need your love.
This is all about love when the mystics do talk,
Because your breed is the kind that i need;
But many are in deciphir,
Like a matured tree without fruits.
You are the best for me to make a choice,
With an impression on your special love;
So let me in when i do knock at your door.
It is all about love,
It is all about the life we live in;
With the key to move all things as love.
You are among the best of breeds,
But i will always fight hard to get to you always;
Like the conscious of a missing link that needs a recall.

I love the way...
I miss your voice, when you would call me,
I loved the way my body could melt into yours,
I loved the way you kissed me when I was sad,
I love the way that you always know when I'm sad or mad,
I love the way you would touch me and make me feel as though the world would never fall apart, that I would be alright as long as you were by my side.
Baby, I can do anything with your love, be anything I wanted to be.
I love the way I trust you with my life, my secrets, and past.
I love the way you comfort me when I'm down; in such an understanding way.
Your everything to me!
I will always remember...
The way I love you,
The way you love me,
And the way I trust you.
I love you, babe!
Forever in my heart and soul!

Punch & Judy
Gather round!
Punch and judy,
Did it truly,
And were married in a haste,
In love, maybe,
Using the baby,
As a kind of romance paste,
Shes grown fatter,
Her hair cut shorter,
Looks much older than nineteen,
Hes a drinker,
Not a thinker,
Baby spoiled his could-have-been.
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and judy.
Punch and judy,
In a semi,
On a brand new council plot,
Sunday lunchtime,
Beer-for-punch time,
While his dinners far from hot,
She grows tired,
Cab is hired,
She goes round to see her friend,
He comes back late,
Fool is irate,
We will see his temper bend.
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and judy,
In a quandary,
Shes walked out, and he is mad.
Now hes grown up,
Cant smash home up,
Retribution must be had.
Punch and judy,
Had a baby,
Who brought them to married bliss.
Mr punch,,
Has drunken hunch,
That he must punish kid for this
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Mercy On My Soul
A trust betrayed, a rusty blade
Standin on the air, I walked the line
Paid my fine, hope I know the land
The actual facts, unatural acts
Sins that take their toll
The angel and the ginn and the beast within
They fight to take control
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord needs you like a junkie needs his drug
He needs you like a baby boy needs his hug
Needs you like the power, lord, needs the sun
I need you like dmc needs run
Lord, have mercy on my soul, lord, have mercy on my soul
Lord loves you like the eskimo loves the cold
I love you like the miner man loves his gold
Love you like the fishermen loves the sea
I love you like the flowers love the work of bees
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Standin up tall, on top of the wall
Hopin that I can fly, angel and the jinn and the beast within
Say Im gonna die
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul

What Would It Take
(duet bryan adams & anne murray)
If words wont do it
And words are just a waste of time
We could get right to it
If I could only read your mind
Youre just a mistery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that will melt your heart
Baby tell me just where to start
Chorus:
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you
Keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take
If the night dont move you
And youve never seen the stars come out
If the touch dont soothe you
Then maybe youve just never been touched
I wanna be the one to change your mind
I think about it all the time
? ? ?
I wanna wake you from your deepest sleep
Youre just a mistery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that will melt your heart
Baby tell me just where to start
Chorus:
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you
Keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take
Tell me tell me
Tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take
Tell me tell me
Tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take

Be more than a pet
In love with my pet, I did many acts,
Sensing that it liked each of my acts.
It was not to condemn but ready to amend,
When it disapproved of any of my acts,
For it knows my pulse and throbs.
As I hold you, dear, as more than a pet
Can you ditch me for any shortfall?
Is not it a fault of your closed mindedness?
Be superior to, and kinder than, a pet.

Love alters not
(after William Shakespeare)
Let me state with all of humankind
as my witness, that love is more than bliss,
is much more than the drawing of a kiss,
it does no error or any change find,
it is true to the body, soul and mind,
in the simple things of each day it is
and all other allures it does dismiss,
much stronger than life, pass death it does bind,
burns with a kind of eternal hot flame
which wanders not within time, months or weeks,
its acts, its words continually does bloom,
in hardship it does not find any blame,
eternally sincerity it seeks,
it stays true, even at the gates of doom.

I Melt With You (Bowling for Soup)
Moving forward using all my breath,
Being friends with you was never second best,
And I saw the world crashing all around your face,
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(You should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(You should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world
I'll stop the world
I'll stop the world
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)

Being With You
Just want to make love with you, here and now. Every second I will let you know how much I have been craving to make you mine. To melt with you in your warmth is really something which I intend to do. With my simplicity I will try to care for you. I will not say that I am pure, since I am not. To love you physically I want to because a creature with such deep beauty should always be adored. Will make love to you by being with you when it matters the most.

Melt The Guns
(andy partridge)
Programmes of violence,
As entertainment,
Brings the disease into your room.
We know the germ,
Which is man-made in metal,
Is really a key to your own tomb.
Prevention is better than cure,
Bad apples affecting the pure,
Youll gather your senses Im sure
Then agree to,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more desire them.
Children will want them,
Mothers supply them,
As long as your killers are heroes.
And all the media
Will fiddle while rome burns,
Acting like modern-time neros.
Prevention is better than cure,
Bad apples affecting the pure,
Youll gather your senses Im sure
Then agree to,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more desire them.
Im speaking to the justice league of america.
The u s of a,
Hey you,
Yes you in particular!
When it comes to the judgement day and youre standing at the gates with your weaponry,
You dead go down on one knee,
Clasp your hands in prayer and start quoting me,
cos we say...
Our father weve managed to contain the epidemic in one place, now,
Lets hope they shoot themselves instead of others,
Help to civilize the race now.
Weve trapped the cause of the plague,
In the land of the free and the home of the brave.
If we listen quietly we can hear them shooting from grave to grave.
You ought to,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
Melt the guns,
And never more desire them.
