Here's something I wrote 5 years ago:

Dreams

Last night I had a dream
That u and I were swept away
In a night of ecstacy and passion
Or was I really awake?
A gentle kiss upon those lips
of red and glistening of wet
Oh, as they touched mine
A dream every now and then
Becomes reality from time 2 time

* In my dreams of u and I
U r a part of me
I could dream forever of u
A dream of reality
A dream of reality

This morning I had a dream
That I woke up and u were there
A vision of beauty still asleep
So I only played with your hair
And when u awoke
And opened those eyes 2 me
Oh, those beautiful eyes
A smile came across your face
And it made me want 2 cry *

One day I met someone
She had a smile like yours
She said she could see though me
And my heart was like an open door
She saw all my wants and needs
And saw the love I felt
The love I felt 4 u
But the time just wasn't right
Even though she knew the truth *

that's a sweet lyric, joker. from the heart, very honest.

tom waits - old shoes

Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung
I've been putting it off for a while,
Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear
That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile.

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

And every time that I tried to tell you
that we'd lost the magic we had at the start,
I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes
And I searched once again for the spark.

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

Oh you know that there's something calling me dear
and by morning, I'm sure to be gone
For I'm older than you and you know so well
That our time for to love was a song

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

Now I can see by your eyes, it's time now to go
So I'll leave you crying in the rain,
Though I held in my hand, the key to all joy
Honey my heart was not born to be tamed.

And goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

Practice What You Preach
by Barry White


So what do you want to do
I’m here, baby, I’m ready, baby
I’m waitin’ on you
Believe me, I am patiently waitin’ on you

Girls, there’s something wrong with me
Every time I’m alone with you
You keep talkin’ ‘bout you lovin’ me
Hey, babe, your foreplay just blows my mind
So why don’t we stop all the talkin’, girl
Why don’t we stop wastin’ time

I’ve had my share of lovers
Some say I’m damn good
And if you think you can turn me out
Baby, I wish that you would

‘Cause you keep tellin’ me this and tellin’ me that
You say once I’m with you, I’ll never go back
You say there’s a lesson that you wanna teach
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

(I’m tellin’ you this and tellin’ you that)
(‘Cause once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back)
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

Girl, it’s just you and me
So many things I can do to you
And so many ways I can please
Hey, hey, hey, it’s your move, girl
Why don’t you start turning down the lights
And show me what just you can do, hey, baby

I’ve had my share of lovers
Some of them were damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
I wish that you would

‘Cause you keep tellin’ me this and tellin’ me that
You say once I’m with you, I’ll never go back
I know there’s a lesson that you wanna teach
Here I am, baby, practice what you preach

(I’m saying this because it’s a fact) Is it
(Once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Really
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

Ladies
Baby, baby, baby
We’re wastin’ time
Precious time
All this talk about what you wanna do and how you’re gonna do it to me
Come on
Practice what you preach

Now I’ve had my share of lovers
Some say I’m damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
Girl, I just wish that you would

‘Cause you keep, oh, you just keep
And oh, you just keep tellin’ me this and tellin’ me that
You say once I’m with you, I’ll never go back
Say there’s a lesson you wanna teach
Here I am, baby, practice what you preach

(I’m saying this because it’s a fact) Is it
(Once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Really
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Well, I’m still waiting, practice what you preach

(I’m telling me this and telling me that)
(‘Cause once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Show me
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Here I am, practice on me

(I’m saying this because it’s a fact) Is it
(Once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Do it
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Girl, I’m still waiting, practice what you preach, ooh

(I’m telling me this and telling me that)
(‘Cause once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back)
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Here I am, girl, practice on me

(I’m saying this because it’s a fact) Ooh, ooh
(Once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Really
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Well, I’m here, baby, practice what you preach

(I’m telling me this and telling me that)
(‘Cause once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back)
(There is a lesson that I’m gonna teach)
Girl, I’m still waiting, practice what you preach

(I’m saying this because it’s a fact) Is it
(Once I’ve been with you, you’ll never go back) Really

When you drinking/Gentleman is a Tramp by Dean Martin


Drink to me only thats all I ask
And I will drink to you
When your drinking
When your drinking
The show looks good to you....
When you drinking
You get stinking
It helps your point of view
But when your sober the skys all seem grey
When your sober life's a pain
So keep drinking
Thats what Im thinking
Cause it's what I love to do....

(Breaks into Gentleman is a tramp)

I love Chicago its carefree and gay
I'd even work here without any pay
I'll lay you odds it turns out that way
That's why this gentleman is a tramp
My clever agent he worked out this deal
He said go to Chicago it won't be for real
And I believed him Im such a schlameel
That's why the Gentleman is a tramp
I love the free fresh booze that ya get
So im in debt
Im flat...
Take that
Last night some girl gave me a green stamp
That's why this gentleman is a tramp
My wife just told me have I news for you
The doctor's sure Im way over due
Wait till she finds out my girlfriend is too
That's why the gentleman
That's why the gentleman
That is why the gentleman is a tramp

GARTH BROOKS - WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ME AGAIN

There's a ship out
On the ocean
At the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about
Lost and broken
Wandering aimlessly
And God somehow
You know that ship is me
'Cause there's a lighthouse
In the harbour
Shining faithfully
Pouring its light out
Across the water
For this sinking soul to see
That someone out there
Still believes in me

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again

There's a moment
We all come to
In our own time and
Our own space
Where all that we've done
We can undo
If our heart's
In the right place

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again
And again I see
My yesterday's in front of me
Unfolding like a mystery
You're changing all that is
And used to be

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again

When you come
Back to me again

Lyrics that fit my mood, hmmmmm

electricity, eye to eye
hey don't i know u
i can't speak
strip my senses on the spot
I've never been defenceless
I can't even make sense of this
u speak and i don't hear words

what would happen if we kissed
would your tongue slip passed my lips
would u run away would u stay
or would i melt into to u

mouth 2 mouth
lust to lust s
spontanious combust

room is spinning
put of control
act like u didn't notice
brush my hand

forbidden fruit ring on my finger
your such a moral moral man
to throw it away no question
will i pretend I'm innocent

what would happen if we kissed
would u're tongue slip passed my lips
would u run away
would u stay
or would i melt into u

mouth to mouth
lust to lust
spontaniously combust

what would happen if we kissed

i struggle with myself again
quickly the walls are crumbling

don't know if i could turn away

razorlight - golden touch

i know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind

You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

That kind of girl, yes she's never alone
You leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
And you could have it all if you wanted, girl
You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Oh we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch
Give 'em a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
I don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch

Because all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
And then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
And we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
