Some people walk into our lives and are easily forgotten. Others walk in and out of our lives and are not so easily forgotten. The impressions they leave are long and lasting upon our hearts unon our minds. And even though they may have come and gone They are really NEVER gone. We think of their thoughts and we will sing they're songs All the rest of our lives And we will never be the same. All because someone came into this life And someone walked out of this life. Leaving dreams and schemes And empty rooms in a heart..... Where the Ghosts of the past play with our memories....

In Secret What can I do About these feelings I feel for you? Should I abandon my caution? And let you know........ Let you know The joy you have brought into my life? Sunny cold days......heated nights. Lying safe in your arms Only to wake, safe and warm in the dawn of your loving. Should I tell you all these secrets? No-I keep these things in the corner of my heart. Only to slip out in my smile or the light in my eyes. Because I have only a small part in your life..... But...... No matter how small, I would rather take what love I can from you Than risk losing you completely. Then if someday you fade out of my life I will have a vast store of memories of us. And I will know that the joy of our comings Was worth the pain of your leaving And in secret............. I love you very well.
