EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (13)

I’ve sailed from the Bell Rock Light House
Where the North Sea swells
And to the Newfoundland grand banks
Where the hardy mariner dwells
But on my own it was so unfulfilling
Having you with me is what tells

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 5

I love you by any measure
You might wish to use
But I don’t know how to express
The way I feel about you
And the affect you have on me
So I hope this gives you a clue
If they gave out medals
Just for love untold
You would get the bronze
Silver and Gold

SHOW ME HOW TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE

Show me how to close the distance
Betwixt me and your heart
What words remain unspoken?
Show me what I should do
I will break no promise
I will leave all vows unbroken
Love is all I have to offer
And a true and honest heart
I won’t treat you as some token
So show me how to close the distance
Betwixt me and your heart

IF ONLY SHE WOULD TURN

If only she would turn
And smile at me,
Then in that moment
I would see
I would know
That she loves me
But she does not turn
She does not smile
So I languish in solitude
And hope that one day
She will turn
And smile at me

THE GENTLE HEART

The gentle heart, that
Once held love for me
Now holds only
An utter Contempt
For I lost my head
For a pretty face
So I lost her love
And now I’m lost

SHE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME

She meant the world to me
But I set her free
Now I watch her passing by
And wonder how and why
I could have let her go
And the truth is, I don’t know
