Did you really want to work things out?
Did you need me?
Why did you change, what was it all about?
Did I make a difference in your life?
Did I do something that wasn’t right (That wasn’t right)

Questions of love
Like a fire within my heart
Questions of love
Keeping me from a brand new start

When you left me,
Were those tears I saw falling from your eyes?
You found it hard to talk
Were your feeling too strong to hide?
Wasn’t there a way to compromise?
Did you start believing someone’s lies (Someone’s lies)

Questions of love
Burning hot inside my mind
Questions of love
Keeping me a step behind

Are you happy?
Is there someone taking good care of you
Do you feel good
From the changes within you?
Are you frightened of the things you see?
Will you ever want to talk to me? (Talk to me please)

Questions of love
Like a flame within my soul
Questions of love
Getting over you is my goal

Questions of love
Like a candle in the night
Questions of love
Keeps the fire burning bright

Talk to me; baby look in my eyes
You can tell me what you’re feeling inside
I think I understand what you’re going through
I’ve gone through it before
I can help you get through it
I can relate, if you’d let me
Baby let me prove it to you now

If you’d just give me a chance
I can be a good friend
Give me a chance
We’ll see it through to the end

Come closer; baby take my hand
Let me show you I’m a kind a patient man
If you need someone to talk to
Call on me I’ll listen to you
Put a little faith in me
You might find that you can trust me
Baby let me show you that I care

Give me a chance
I can be a great friend
Give me a chance
We can take this through to the end
Give me a chance; Oh
Give me a chance; Yeah

If you start feeling lonely baby
Call and I’ll be there
Don’t rule out your emotions
Take a chance to care

Walk with me; to a galaxy
Let me show you
Things you thought you’d never see
If you need a little comfort
Come to me I’ll give it to you
Tenderness and honesty is what you need
I’ll show it to you
Baby let me hold you in my arms

Give me a chance
I can be a good friend
Give me a chance
There’s no more need to pretend
Give me a chance; Oh
Give me a chance; Yeah

I’ve done everything for you
You swore your love was true
How could I be so quick to believe
All you’ve ever done was deceive
I don’t like what I’m starting to see
The crummy way you’ve been treating me
Try to hold you close to me
But you tell me to set you free

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you

You came to me as a helpless scared young girl
I took you in and I showed you around my world
I thought we made such a perfect pair
Now you tell me you just don’t care
I see you’ve got everything you need
Your eyes are filled with fire
They’re filled with greed
One day you’re gonna see
Your big mistake was leaving me

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you

Now you say we’re through
Nothing more I can do
After all I’ve done for you

After all I’ve done for you
You treated me like a fool
After all I’ve done for you
How can you be so cruel
After all I’ve done for you
After all I’ve done for you

Young Catholic boy
Traditions and routines embedded
Prayers remembered, recited, and regurgitated
Going through the motions until old enough
To walk away
Strict rules learned growing up
Making it difficult to return
Without being a hypocrite
Questions arising with no logical answers
Not all was bad
There was comfort in routine
Music that was beautiful at times
Giant traditional cathedrals
Shrouded in history and mystery
Sunday family breakfasts
Midnight Christmas Eve mass
Saturated in songs of Noel
Somehow made those lyrics relevant
As my life enters the fall season
I contemplate faith
I see others that breathe it
Is it too late to find and rediscover?
Can skepticism ebb?
Could I give myself over without abandon?
Where does one begin?

Mahogany eyes
Express joy, desire, and grief
Those which I behold

Denim, a durable fabric
Fading over the years
Eventually distressed, frayed
Like warm summer memories of years gone by
Not created to appear that way
But forged over the years
Like an old friend that has lost some luster
But is classically appealing still

True love should be like faded denim
A love of your life should gradually dim and become a classic memory rather than dissipate within months
A shared deep connection should tatter over years like the knees of a comfortable pair of denim jeans
There shouldn't need to be a reason to communicate when you have loved someone deeply
If a reason to communicate is needed months later, perhaps the love wasn't that intense as the care to just connect without a reason would still exist
Just as the color of denim will fade in intensity in time, so should the deep feelings one has. If a loved one vocalized that they would have turned their life upside down for you, it would take years rather than months to be at peace with not speaking frequently

When I look at your photograph I wish to God that you were back
Just you and I as one together
All our memories rush through my mind
I’m wishing and hoping every night
That you'll come back to me forever
Can’t you tell I still love you? That isn’t hard to see
Can’t you tell I still want you? And this is where you should be

In My arms tonight(In my arms tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms  tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight (Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight

I feel so frightened and all alone
Always wishing to hear your voice on the phone
Just to tell me that you really care
I want to reach out and take your hand
And guide you to our promised land but I know that’s just my prayer
Can’t you tell I still need you? Is that so hard to see?
Don’t you know that I’m hurting? My God, it’s killing me

In My arms  tonight(In my arms  tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight (Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight

I can’t sleep at night (Those memories)
I’m crying out my plea (Please hear me)
It cuts like a knife (So deep now)
Come back to me; Yeah

In My arms  tonight(In my arms tonight)
You belong here by my side
In my arms  tonight (In my arms  tonight)
For a feeling that’s so right
In my arms  tonight (making love to you)
Making love to you all night
In my arms  tonight(Love will never die)
No my love will never die in my arms  tonight
