my song for the day
If I was beautiful like you Oh the things I would do Those not so blessed Would be crying out "murder" And I'd just laugh and get away with it too Like you do If I was beautiful like you I would never be at fault I'd walk in the rain between the raindrops Bringing traffic to a halt But that will never be That will never never be Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me If I was beautiful like you I'd be quick to assume They'd do anything to please me I see the reaction when you walk into the room But that will never be That will never never be Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me If I was beautiful like you I'd have so many friends Always fighting for my time to be next in line So if I hurt them I won't have to make amends But that will never be That will never never be Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm not beautiful like you I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me |
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you If you want a partner Take my hand Or if you want to strike me down in anger Here I stand Im your man |
Somewhere between right and wrong Somehow I manage to keep moving on Searching for any place but where I am and a first and second chance |

'First Day of my Life'---Bright Eyes
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don't know where I am I don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go And so I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realize that I need you And I wondered if I could come home Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said “this is the first day of my life I'm glad I didn't die before I met you But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy” So if you want to be with me With these things there's no telling We just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides maybe this time is different I mean I really think you like me |
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand With an equal opportunity For all to sing, dance and clap their hands Can't you feel it all over Come on let's feel it all over people You can feel it all over Everybody-all over people |
And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek, We gather up our hearts and go, A Thousand Kisses Deep. |
a little poem that i wrote for a dear friend a few years ago
asian pears Your story was this: you were happy then you were sad. You slept, You awakened... Sometimes you ate persimmons. At times you spoke, at other times you were silent. What could you say? mostly it seems you were silent. Actions were taken or not- It doesn't matter what they will make of you. Of your days... they will be wrong. They will never speak of the little girl propelled into womanhood. All the stories they tell will be of their own bromidic invention. You were happy, then you were sad. Sometimes you ate asian pears. |
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto And his mama cries Cause if there's one thing she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto. People, you don't understand The child needs a helping hand Or hell, grow to be an angry young man someday Take a look at you and me, Are we too blind to see, Do we simply turn our heads And look the other way? Well, the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto. And his hunger burns So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal And he learns how to fight In the ghetto. Then one night in desperation A young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car, Tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries... As the crowd gathers round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto. As her young man dies, On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' Another little baby child is born In the ghetto. ~ Mac Davis |
These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now There is no past, there's only future There's only here, there's only now Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence The fires of spring are kindling bright Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory Crying freedom in the night |
'She'-Elvis Costello
She
May be the face I can't forget The trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She May be the song that summer sings May be the chill that autumn brings May be a hundred different things Within the measure of a day She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into a heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dreams The smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside her shell She Who always seems so happy in a crowd Whose eyes can be so private and so proud No one's allowed to see them when they cry She May be the love that cannot hope to last May come to me from shadows of the past That I'll remember till the day I die She May be the reason I survive The why and wherefore I'm alive The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years Me I'll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I've got to be The meaning of my life is She She, oh she |
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of... |
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they are tumbling down And they didn't even put up a fight They didn't even make a sound I found a way to let you in But, I never really had a doubt Standing in the light of your halo I got my angel now It's like I've been awakened Every rule I had, you break it It's the risk that I'm taking I ain't never gonna shut you out! Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby, I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby, I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away I can feel your halo I can see your halo I can feel your halo I can see your halo Halo, ooh ooh..... Hit me like a ray of sun Burning through my darkest night You're the only one that I want Think I'm addicted to your light I swore I'd never fall again But this don't even feel like falling Gravity can't forget To pull me back to the ground again It's like I've been awakened Every rule I had, you break it It's the risk that I'm taking I'm never gonna shut you out! Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby, I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby, I can feel your halo I pray it won't fade away I can feel your halo I can see your halo I can feel your halo I can see your halo Halo, ooh ooh..... I can feel your halo I can see your halo I can feel your halo I can see your halo Halo, ooh ooh..... Halo, ooh ooh..... Halo, ooh ooh, ooooh........ Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby, I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby, I can feel your halo I pray it won't fade away I can feel your halo I can see your halo I can feel your halo I can see your halo Halo, ooh oooh....... I can feel your halo I can see your halo I can feel your halo I can see your halo Halo, ooh oooh....... |
Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky Are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now Wish right now, Wish right now... |
When the mornin sun
Streaks across my room And Im wakin up From another dream of you Yes, you know Im on the road Once again it seems All that's left behind Is a chain of broken dreams But you know that I love you You know that I love you Oh, I love you And how I wish that love Was all wed need to live What a life wed have Cause Ive got so much to give But ya know I feel so sad Down inside my heart That the dollar sign Should be keepin us apart But you know that I love you You know that I love you Oh, how I love you And if only I could find my way back to the time When the problems of this life Had not yet crossed my mind And the answers could be found in childrens nursery rhymes Id come runnin back to you Id come runnin back to you Mmmmm But you know we cant Live on dreams alone Got to pay the rent So I must leave you all alone Cause you know I made my choice many years ago And now this travelin life Well, it's the only life I know But you know that I love you You know that I love you Oh, I love you But you know that I love you You know that I love you Oh, how I love you But you know that I love you You know that I love you Oh, how I love you But you know I love you But you know I love you Oh, I love you But you know that I love you But you know that I love you Oh, how I love you But you know that I love you But you know that I love you Oh, how I love you |
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to nought Or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way The time is gone The song is over Thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells |
The say for every high There must be a low. For every sun ascending A lonesome moon will grow. Drive my heart, drive my heart Into the fire of a burning heart's desire! A lonely spell so you be seen, Do you hear me coming from my blue dream? |
Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
but if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there cause its over that just wont be fair, darling. I'd rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat 'cause I don't want no lie if I have to cry 'cause it's over when you said goodbye All at once I had it all but it doesnt mean anything now that youre gone from above, seems I had it all but it doesnt mean anything since youre gone Now I see myself through different eyes it's no surprise but being alone would make you realize, when it's over all in love is fair I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there, I shoulda shoulda All at once... I know I pushed you away what can I do that would save our love take these material things they don't mean nothing its you that I want All at once... |
" Who I am"
"Who I Am"
I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am Nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense anymore Nothing is right, nothing is right when you're gone I'm losing my breath, I'm losing my right to be wrong I'm frightened to death, I'm frightened that I won't be strong I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am Hey! I'm shaking it off, I'm shaking off all of the pain. Breaking my heart, breaking my heart once again I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am Yeah, who I am. |
