Would you let me know?
If trying to show you the outer rounds of heaven don't,
keep me on the charm offensive anymore.
If you fail to see me as the one-man, who finds you worth fighting for...

Then I'd give anything, to temper your belief in all the promises I've made before
Replacing all doubt with absolute certainty

Still, I worry not, because knowing you is feeling a love given with grace
In your arms sadness is destroyed and replaced— by your affection for me

And if I had never felt your presence, I would've lived out life like I was missing limbs... for you!

Premium Member Charm Offensive

  Joe B. warns Bibi
    Israel needs to be disarming

  not one Palestinian to be harming ~
    Bibi finds Joe B. less than charming

Amen

And I will be with only you
Forever and ever amen

And I will be forever true
Forever and ever again

And you will make me weak at the knees
Save me from sorrow, suffering, disease,
It’s you alone I long to please
Forever and ever amen

No mortal coil shall tear us apart
Forever and ever amen

No charm offensive can steal my heart
Forever and ever my friend

And I will love you more each day
And you will take my breath away
To you my soul I give away 
Forever and ever amen 

I’m blind to the truth
Of the wolf in a suit
Fooled by the spin
And the evil within

A voice that is caged
By an inner rage
A song will release
Imprisonment cease
