when I die, I'll be alone
like in this life of mine
I never seem to be carefree
I'm always in a bind
and when I die I'll be lying
in the silent deep
I wonder who will care
I wonder, who will weep
Life is shot, so people say
Why doesn't death just come my way
Why couldn't I just die tomorrow
to rid myself of this pain and sorrow
Life is short, so people say
Why am I still alive today
Tomorrow I shall face another task
yet peace and death is all I ask
Life is short, so I am told
still, I hope I won't grow old
I've lived almost twenty plus one
I hope I'm dead before this day is done
Life is short, so I am told
But I'll never see the road of gold
'cause people who take their lives in hand
never see the promise land
Life's short, death's near
yet no song of sorrow do I hear
I never seem to do anything right
so death come soon, please come tonight
When you fall I love
you wonder will it last
when you hear the door close
you wonder why it's past
you sit and think of reasons
why it should have stayed
you wonder what the price is
then, count how much you've paid
You count the many tear drops
that have fallen from you eyes
you count the many truthful things
you found were only lies
you count all the pride and confidences
you have wasted on someone
you sit and wonder why
this romance is really done
I want to be known throughout the world
as a famous poet
but my works aren't good enough
and I surely know it.
But still my schemes are only dreams
in the early stages
I cannot live off my poetic works
they do not earn me wages.
And sooner than I probably think
my writings they will stop
'cause others know as well as me
I'll never make the top.
How do you feel when a baby cries?
How do you feel when an old man dies?
How do you feel when a friend is in pain?
Do you feel as though you live in vain?
How do you feel when you're alone?
Ho do you feel when you hear a moan?
How do you feel when you're standing in the rain?
Do you feel as though you live in vain?
Well, my friend come here and smile
Come here and sit with me a while
I'll make you feel that you're a star
Because, Darlyne, that's exactly what you are
You are a star on the stage of life
You can conquer all your strife
You should have no tribulation nor trial
So my love come on and smile.
Didn't they seem to have it all?
The fame, the fortune, the charmed life
The autograph seekers, the groupies
A life we envy.....seemingly free of strife.
Didn't they seem to have it all?
The songs that made you laugh and cry
The lyrics we all remember
"Don't Be Cruel" and "Rocky Mountain High"
Didn't they seem to have it all?
The cars, the money, masters of their craft
Fans standing in line for days and days
For a ticket or an autograph
Elvis, John Denver and so many many more
Was it all too much? Was the writing on the wall?
The fame, the fortune, the fast paced life.
Didn't they seem to have it all?
For Iris
The lingering taste of your kiss
Which transponded from your lips
To reach my very soul
from my toes to my finger tips.
I don't know why
I do not try to reason
Was is it your kiss
Or simply the season
It seems as though
I've been set free
Was it the music
or simply chemistry.
Why do I try to analyze
A simple good night kiss
Maybe it is just because
I made me feel like this.
