LIVE A VERY GOOD LIFE
Live a very good life
Live it honourably and true
And live it to the full
Then I will promise you
That when you look back
As your days begin to wane
And you look back, you’ll
Get to enjoy it all over again
EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (7)
I will sail Around the Cape of Good Hope
where the two great oceans meet
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
Because you’re the only one for me
SHE HAS GONE NOW
She has gone now
And has left a hole
Where my heart
Once resided
But her spirit
Is always with me
And hangs in the air
Like a breath of spring
SHE WAS MY COMPASS
She was my compass
And my anchor
She steered me
And held me
She gave me direction
And stability
Without her I am
Lost at sea
And rudderless
DISTANT SUMMER
I look back fondly
Across the years
On that brief affair
So glorious, yet
All too brief
Like a perfect summer
That left its mark
Forever on my heart
AWE AND WONDER
Awe and wonder
Fills my heart
As I stare at her,
I dream a dream
Of what could be
One day,
She could be mine,
Or maybe not
But it costs me nothing
Just to dream
ON THE HUMID EVENING
On the humid evening
The heady cloying perfume
Of red camellias
Filled the air
Confusing the senses
And amidst the scent of desire
I found in the moonlight
I was falling in love with her
WHEN I LOST YOU, I FELT DEAD TOO
When I lost you, I felt dead too
Apart from the constant empty pain
All I can do now is carry on living
Until the day I feel alive again
