MISSING YOU
Early in the morning
I sit and think of you
I don't know how ,I don't know why
you said our love was through
Early in the morning,I sit and cry for you
All that's left are the memories
Of a love that was so true.
I miss you as my lover , I miss your good night kiss
I miss your arms around me
when I'm sad at times like this
But most of all I miss my friend
the one that walked
I will sit and miss you
My love life it is through
I could never love again
as much as I love you

MY LOVE
At times like this ,When your love has gone
and left you wondering
What went wrong.
You have to look at both sides then,
Things will become clear again.
When you look back,
And don't you cry
You will see when love started to die.
It might have been a name or two,
or a forgotten
I Love You.
It might have been you stayed out late,
Not knowing that It hurt your mate.
When you love someone let them know,
Don't forget to let it show
When you lose a love like mine,
It almost makes you lose your mind.
Don't forget to help at home,
Don't forget to use the phone,
Don't forget she works hard to,
Housework can often make her blue.
Little things that you say
Mite have sounded the wrong way.
When the smiles stop as you come through the door,
You better wonder if there's more,
Sit and talk
Be honest too
Let her know your love is true.

THE ROSE OF MY LIFE
It began like a walk in the springtime
everything so fresh and lush and new
When I looked at you I new
my love was growing strong and true
Our love grew like a beautiful rose
So I picked you from your life giving vine
I tried to keep you all to myself
but somewhere along the way
I lost what you needed most
That's when I lost you my beautiful rose
Water and sunshine and all I could give to you
Heartache and sorrow were all that you saw
the time and space you needed to grow were gone
That's when I started to lose you my rose
If only now I could turn back time
With some kind of magical cure
One that would for me
Even if the price was high
I would die for you my beautiful rose
Now it's like a long cold winter's night
And soon you will be with someone new
And when I see you with him dear
My love will show with great big tears
I've lost your love my beautiful rose.

DREAMING
As I lay sleeping, in my mind,
I see you holding up a sign,
with directions to my heart,
I pray yet fear for you to start.
Every journey must begin,
with the first step deep within,
just remember as you go,
my soul is in your hands you know.
Please don't break my heart again
for this time it will never mend,
you broke it once and it was shattered
yet still to me your all the matters
My deepest feelings are within,
I'm not sure if they will rise again.
But if your heart is next to mine,
and if you let our souls entwine,
you and I can take that step,
and I am sure you won't regret,
walking down the road of life
beside me as my loving wife.

I love you both dearly!
