Midnight in Paris
I want to go back again
I can't stop thinking about you
we were so beautiful together then
back when our love was brand new.
Do you remember the pouring rain?
do you remember our perfect kiss?
do you remember the reason you cried?
do you remember the last train we missed?
I so loved being with you
more than anything else ever
remember us buying that cheap umbrella?
remember we didn't mind the bad weather?
So I'm back here in Paris again
trying hard to figure out what to do
missing so much my beautiful friend
having lost all communication with you.
Sitting here at the cafe tonight
that special one we both knew so well
ordering another drink & trying to stay warm
listening to a far off cathedral bell
The clock suddenly strikes midnight
as I make one last desperate wish
please let me see her one more time
one last loving embrace
one last perfect kiss.

Her Eyes
​
Her eyes could never lie
though her mouth sometimes would
my heart never wanted to leave her
though my mind said maybe I should.
But now the world is changing fast
everyday brings something new
and none of the news is good
and I'm really worried about me and you.
Let's find a sanctuary in each other
and make every single day we have count
let's find a joy in just being together
with a prosperous future now in doubt.
So, I'm holding you really close tonight
listening quietly to the midnight rain
I've found my peace in just being here with you
in a dark world that's gone insane.

The Gift
She'd drove all night
was gonna sleep outside
in the cold with the snow
just to give me gift
this girl doesn't quit
because I still matter to her
and there's one thing that's sure
her heart never changed
through all the years
her love remained the same
and never let me down
she'd always come back around
at times like this
with a gift and a hug and a kiss
so I know that her love is real
because the way that I feel
when she's here with me again
and me leaving her back then was a sin
It was about ten years ago
that winter it really snowed
but it was my heart that was so cold
to have left a girl like this
she proves to me love does exist
so I want to thank her so much
for always being the best part of
all of the memories that endure
because she always made sure
I had a second chance with her
because she loved me first
with a love that was pure
so please now come inside
and thanks again for the gift
and your love
and your sweet kiss.

Lost In The Rain
Lost in the rain
still out looking for you
the feeling is so wet and cold
but it's all that I can do.
Still trying to keep hope alive
by searching and trying to find
I don't want to ever say goodbye
or put you out of my mind.
We were so beautiful long ago
back when things were really good
we need to honor all those memories
and I know we always should.
Because what we had was really special
back before you disappeared
now I'm standing here in the pouring rain
experiencing what I'd always feared.
Back at home now around midnight
trying to get the chill out of my bones
it's just so quiet here these days
with the awful feeling of being left alone.
Maybe it's all just a very bad dream
and someday I'll wake up with no more pain
and I'll see you standing again in front of me
no longer lost in the rain.

Passion
Thinking about our last night together
it was so hard to say goodbye,
I'll remember your sad eyes forever
and the passion and love we left behind.

I'm Listening
​
I am listening very carefully
I will always listen to you
I know you're recovering from so much pain
and all that you've been through.
As we sit and talk really late tonight
I know one thing to be true
I will always be here
with the kind of love no one can undo.
You say you may never love another
that your heart was betrayed by circumstance
that the trust in you is completely broken
you want to love again but probably you can't.
Another glass of wine just past midnight
as I slowly put my arms around you
In those dark brown eyes, I finally see hope
and I know what I must do.
I will wait for you as long as it takes
even if that date never comes around
you're worth the chance and worth the wait
as I hold you so close without a sound.

Message To You
​
I got to get a message to you
but it's much more difficult now
even with everything we've been through
I have to let you know somehow.
Never wait until it's too late
never wait until your love is gone
never wait and tempt fate
because you never know just how long.
Our lives are short it's true
if you love her, you must let her know
maybe she knows maybe not even a clue
but always let your true feelings show.
It'll certainly take a miracle now
for her to find out just how I feel
the world was moving so fast back then
If only one of those days back I could steal.
Do miracles even exist anymore
is it possible she will find this note I wrote
as I cast it into the water from the shore
I say a prayer and away I watch it float.

Far Apart
​
I so wished I was quarantined with you
I can't believe we're separated like this
I miss everything about being with you
desperately wanting to hold you and kiss.
I promise to write to you everyday
while remembering all the beautiful times
I can't fly to you even if I wanted to
what's happening to us is such a crime.
I know someday all of this will be over
but right now, it's such a difficult time
perhaps it'll make us stronger somehow
and a deeper love together we'll find.
I hope you write me back very soon
I appreciate so much more nowadays
the freedom we had to be together
before things changed in so many ways.
So, remember my love all that we had
remember as well, all we are going to be
we will soon be together and never forget
how being apart helped make our love complete.
