“I cross my heart and promise to Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true In all the world you'll never find A love as true as mine” (Quoted lines from I cross my heart by George Strait) When my enticed eyes look at you My heart pulsates with the cadence new My soul absorbs your essence completely Suffusing my senses with the feeling of glee. “As I stand alone on this moon full night For the first time I feel alone in life” (Quoted lines from I’m ready for love by Martha Reeves) Your alluring footprints I long to follow To embrace you all the way I’ll go When I feel empty and alone, I stand At the edge of dark horizon in wasteland You raise for me the silver moon high Forever my love shines in night’s jeweled sky. “I told you everything Opened up and let you in You made me feel alright for once in my life” (Quoted lines from Behind those hazel eyes by Kelly Clarkson) In the scorched existence, listless and inert When I turn into a dry lake in the desert You bring the soothing rains of bliss Make within me a sparkling oasis. “All alone am I ever since your goodbye All alone with just the beat of my heart” (Quoted lines from All alone am I by Brenda Lee) Wandering lost in the vale of desolation I search for the missing passion In the abandoned channel meandering You flow the torrent of your yearning Make a cascading river of desire in me surge Flowing joyfully to the rapturous sea. “It was hard for me to see when When your love was blindin' me But now, I know I have to let you go your separate way” (Quoted lines from Learn the hard way by Brandy Norwood) In the burnt garden in summer of despair When I appear as a wilting bud I feel you’d care Bring rains and drench me again in love shower Make me blossom for you as a radiant flower. (The lines from the mentioned songs of the named singers are within quotation.)
