and shadows fall
curled on my couch
I dwell
thoughts on love
lost, forever gone

chances I took
and chances failed
night comes
brings more then dark
sorrow fills a heart

the moon rises
I see only night
eyes look
but do not see the stars
leaning out the window

rain touches
where hand never did
tears come
mingling with the wet
one begins, one ends

Sweet Beginning

sometimes in quiet moments
I reflect upon us two
the years that we've been friends
this new relationship too

I know its soon to say some things
or to hope for very much
but the heart feels what the heart feels
and mine yearns for your sweet touch

maybe I am asking you
for too many things, too fast
so if my feelings frighten you
please say something at last

for us this sweet beginning
has so many possibilities
we can take them one by one
to see what we might be

so I will ask one simple favor
from you, and just for me
please give this new love a chance
to see what it can be

Pretty Little Lies

tell me you're not married
speak and say that you are free
whisper that you're in love
with no one else but me

caress me with soft words
and songs you sing for me
make promises 'bout tomorrow
and the future we will see

Such pretty little stories
and pretty little lies
I wanted to believe them
'til you opened up my eyes

I didn't know I was gullable
or how naive that I could be
truth and honesty I gave you
and the love inside of me

cards you sent to charm me
'bout watching our love grow
filled my heart with tenderness
silly me, how could I know

Such pretty little stories
and pretty little lies
I wanted to believe them
'til you opened up my eyes

I pinned my hopes on you
being together one fine day
the sweetness that you gave
loving things you would say

Patiently I waited
for a word or two from you
finally in the mail came word
that you and I were through

Such pretty little stories
and pretty little lies
I wanted to believe them
'til you opened up my eyes

you never gave me warning
to tell me how it'd be
if I got a bit too close
to your secret history

no word of explanation
of why you said goodbye
or why you never warned me
one day you'd make me cry

Such pretty little stories
and pretty little lies
I wanted to believe them
'til you opened up my eyes
