Words For My Lady

Words for My Lady
	
I knew this day would eventually come
When I’d want to say these words to you
And it’s with these words I hold in my heart
That I now feel I need to renew
I’ve thought about what I want to say
And was waiting for when the time was right
To say exactly what’s on my mind
While you’re sitting here with me tonight

I know I get caught up in my own little world
And sometimes I tend to forget
The true meaning of those little words
Which entered my heart the day we first met
If you’ll move just a little bit closer
I’ll describe the moment when this all began
When I knew you’d be my special lady
And I would be your lucky man

It was an evening in time when I held you close
As we listened to the falling rain
Sitting in front of a warm flickering fire
Sharing our dreams with a glass of champagne
Somehow, I never could have imagined
Spending an evening like that with you
As we talked between the falling raindrops
And expressing our points of view

With my arms wrapped around you
I thought about how hard it would be to let you go
Then you turned around and kissed me
Only then at that moment did I really know 
We fell in love on that special night
But I couldn’t find the words to say
As you were the only one in my life
Who has ever made me feel that way

When I looked deep into your eyes
And then I took your hand
I knew that all I ever needed
Was to love and to hold you all that I can
You became a part of my little world
And knew that I could never let you go
Because your love meant so much to me
More than you could possibly ever know

After all these years of being together
I needed to say how much I still care
And the only thing I ever wished for
Was that you would always be there
You will always be my special lady,
And I love you so very much
I’d be lost in my little world without you
To share your love and your touch

With you by my side and a fire to keep us warm
We’ll always welcome the falling rain
When we’re holding each other and never letting go
As we fall in love all over again
The words in my heart still mean the same
After all these years of being with you
And the best part of all was knowing
That my very special lady still loves me too

The Sands of Time

The Sands of Time

Admiring the beauty of the ocean waves
Drifting towards the land
I wondered about the journey they travelled
To eventually reach the sand
I’ve always dreamed about taking a journey
To a place along the sea
Where every moment is timeless
In a world of magic and mystery

You and I were hand in hand
Watching the seabirds in flight
Appearing like a silhouette
Against a backdrop of the moonlight
We found ourselves on a magical journey
To a place we wanted to be
When we ventured into the darkness
Towards the sounds of the romantic sea

We walked along the shoreline
Pausing to write in the sand
As we engaged on this timeless journey
To a special wonderland
Some kind of magic took over my heart
When you looked into my eyes
As we held each other very close
Waiting for the sun to rise

I said how much I loved you
And you said the same to me
As we drew a heart in the sand
And creating another memory
We wrote our initials inside the heart
Knowing the tide would soon be in
To carry our love into the sea
And let this romantic journey begin

We will always share a moonlight
With the sounds of the romantic sea
When we hold each other in the darkness
For now and eternity
The wave that carries our special love
Will always drift on forever
As we journey to that magical world
Through the sands of time together

Colors of Love

Colors of Love

I’ve been thinking of a painting, that I’ve created in my mind
It’s a painting of something special, for which colors are hard to find
I’ve searched all over, even the rainbow that leads to the gold
In hope of finding those special colors, for my canvas to hold

I know this painting would turn out right, if I had those colors to start
Special colors full of emotions, from which I could paint from my heart
I’m not really a painter, just a person with an empty palette of dreams
Someone searching for the color of love, and searching forever as it seems

What is the color of love, and why is it so hard to find
I know exactly what it looks like, but I only see it in my mind
Perhaps those colors are already with me, somewhere deep inside
And can only be released through my emotions, which I know I just can’t hide

There’s a masterpiece in my heart, which my canvas will soon acquire
And with every brush stroke that I’d make, it soon would be ready to admire
Where is that special color, that I need so very much
To add to my palette and give my painting its one final touch
 
This vision I have in my mind, is really a painting of you
There’s no need for rainbows, only feelings that I know are true
I believe with all my heart, that love is any color you want it to be
For a masterpiece painted with love, can be very special, for you and for me
