If I Could Only See You

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I would tell you how I feel
Let you see within

Show you all the things you missed
Since you've been away
Give you all the love I have
Ask you to please stay

I wish that you could hear me
And know these words are true
This love I have fills my heart
And will always be for you

They say that time will heal the pain
And this hurt will slowly fade
That deep inside I'll hear your voice
And you'll help me through each day

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I'd thank you for the time we had
My true love and my best friend

If I could Only see you

Best Friend

He has the basement all to himself
While im at work all day
He watches T.V. and lays around
Without a worry in his head

He eats and drinks when he wants
Takes naps in the afternoons
Jumps off the couch when I walk in
Because he knows I don't approve

He seems so happy when I come home
And thats when he wants to play
He jumps for joy and kisses me
And wont let me walk away

He follows me like he's a child
Thinks I'm the best thing in the world
He listens to every word I say
Then pretends its never heard

This is my dog, he does not judge
And his love is not pretend
He is my true companion
And he's known as mans best friend

Secret Of The Soul

Im opening up a window
In the center of my soul
So all the world can finally see
This secret that I hold

This secret that I share with you
Is precious to my heart
Hidden for so very long
That I dont know where to start

My secret tells a story
Of two soul's lost in time
And of a love that has been found
Between your heart and mine

A secret life of loving you
Hiding feeling deep inside
While knowing what I wanted most
Was to have you by my side

As tender mercy turns the page
I  know now  it is time
I will spend my future in your arms
And start a brand new life

So im openimg up a window
In the center of my soul
So all the world can finally see
This secret that I hold
