Breathe Tonight

I know tonight
I will wake up again
To something so subtle 
And reach for you hand

Under the darkness
And deep in the sheets
Theres only one thing
One heart only beats

One breath only breathes
One dream only drempt
To not have you there 
Is to be held in contempt 

Contempt with my heart
On what needs to be
And that thing is 
You next to me

With heart beats and breathing
Hands made as one
A dream meant forever
O god here the sun

Hawaii Goodbye

When past is present 
And tomorrows today 
How do we know
To live every day? 

Because if the sunsets 
Then it arise
Through many different 
Colorful skies 

I can’t tell the difference 
Because I’m not that smart 
The only thing that gets it 
Well that is my heart

It knows where to be 
It knows what to say 
And it’s only this happy 
When you’re not away

Air Assault Infantry

The mission is crazy
Will we come out alive? 
The movements are dangerous 
Load up lets go

Hop in the back 
Gear ready to go
Put down your nods
That’s when you show

You can’t be stopped 
You can’t be beat 
Tonight’s the night 
Where no match you’ll meet

Infantry does it 
When no one else can
We all go in
Every time with a plan

We take out our target
We index our men
Takeoff in the air
Then get ready again

Korean Princess

There was a boy  
Yes and he loved a girl 
Just like the moment
It all was a whirl

He thought her so pretty 
Perfect you see 
But just like all endings
There’s a story

Was it love at first sight? 
Some might do say 
But well in the hours 
Soon closes day 

The moon was rising
And stars did shine
But sleep o sleep 
The poor princess whines

So he scooped her up
And took her in tight
Almost together 
Every night 

A smile a cheer 
Till the days seemed shorter
My o my 
Did they want them longer 

But this is the part
That you must look
It wasn’t this story 
That made a book

In a cold December
On a colder day
There was a problem 
That came this way

As much as they loved 
They knew from the start 
There would be a moment 
Where they’d have to part

So they laughed they loved 
But all is not true 
But what really is 
Is I’ll always love you

Night On the Water

Here is a story
Here is the truth
I'm ready to go
To let loose
This is the feeling
That you cant choose

My heart is racing
And I feel her touch 
I wonder if my heart 
Can handle this much

The last night 
We met
Was the last night 
We kissed
Now here it goes 
Are you ready for this 

My hearts beating strong
And its getting fast
I finally locked
The door to my past

One more thing 
That her kiss 
Does bring
Its like a beat
Sort of a ding
Its that one two three
That makes your heart sing

First

The nights are colder
Than they normally are
The streets are empty
Not even a car

As I walked you home 
Peaceful and fun 
But one more question
That’s never done

Why did I see you?
All of the time 
What made me come?
Are you out of your mind?

I simply smile
And look in your eyes
Questions aren’t just
Who what and whys

Questions are things
That time cannot make
Time is not something
That we need to take

So the answer my dear
To the questions you say
Is the reason I smile
On this very day

Summers Rain

Within these clouds 
Holds the rain 
Holds the memories
Even holds some pain

Days like these 
Nights from before 
Time for freedom
Just open the door

Down comes the flood
One by one
Never say never 
Till the rain is done

Every drop is
A moment in time 
As the memories race
Throughout my mind 

They take me back 
To a summer ago
Where time went fast
When we wanted it slow 

The smell of the beach
The taste of the sea
In that moment 
Where I want to be

The stars are alive
I’m holding your hand
Fire in your eyes 
Our feet in the sand

These are the moments 
That means so much
Our lips in the rain
As they gently touch

Summer Song

Listen here darling
Don't get me wrong
We all have our summer
And we all have a song

Mine just started
When someone hit play
I can hear the words 
That they sing and they say

They make me dance
And they make me sing
I want the song
From summer not spring

When I look in your eyes
And don't say a word
But the song is what
We both heard

Over and over
Again and again
dancing closer
No longer friends

Now listen here darling
Don't get me wrong
I want you
To be my song

At Port

This little jingle 
Is sort of a spell
Like old Saint. Nick 
What a story to tell

This isn’t happy
But in a way
Love is strange
Many will say

He stepped in a world 
That took them apart
Together they stay
Cause she has his heart

Before all this started
So he can provide
He only did it
So they can survive

But here it is
Which started it all
The look in her eyes 
Which made him fall

Head over heels 
Deeply in love 
She is the angel 
That came from above

The hardest thing 
About saying goodbye 
Was watching you walk
Right out of my sight

Real

If this is true 
And something not 
I want to know
All I forgot

What I’ve seen
And what I’ve heard
Everything.
Its all absurd 

I want to know 
What I’ve done wrong 
What I’ve done right
If I make your day
As well as night

I need to know 
How you feel 
And if that feeling 
Is really real
 
All I want
through and through
And forever 
Is to be with you
