Without you, I don't make any sense;

Like macaroni noodles without cheese,
or Tweedledum without Tweedledee,
Like Abbott without Costello,
or a lemon that isn't yellow,
Like Chip without Dale,
or a ship with no sails,
Like Rocky without Bullwinkle,
or Simon without Garfunkel,
Like Yin without Yang,
or Zig without Zag,
Likeasentencewithoutspaces,
I'd be lost without your embraces.

The soft flutter of a butterfly's wings,
The bubbling brook as it flows to the sea,
The light sprinkling of dew on a blade of grass,
The lovely pattern it makes on a spider's web,
The petals of a rose greeting the day,
The last crimson leaf dropped by a gust of wind,
Evergreen trees sprinkled with snow,
The warm light of a bonfire's glow,
The sun has set, but the sky's still golden,
An old couple as they walk, still hand in hand.

At words sentimental
I’m awfully dreadful,
When it comes to exposition

I’ve found it best
To keep it locked in my chest
Hence avoiding its demolition

But somehow you’ve
Got me in an expressive mood
Thus inspiring this composition:

It hurts me dear when you think I don’t care,
If only you knew how I feel toward you…

When you’re holding my hand, I can’t help but smile,
Your skin against mine; I’m completely enthralled
Your arms hold me tight and nothing can harm me
My head on your chest, your heart beats out a rhythm
[Sleepily I dote on sweet dreams of you…]

Rarely if ever does one see the stars here,
But it doesn’t matter ‘cause I have your smile
My bad days are better as soon as you’re near me
When I hear your laughter, my worries are gone
[For the first time, I go to bed anxious for dawn]

A million years would never be enough
To hear what you have to say
I want to know you, inside and out,
I like who you are more every day,
[Just please, don’t push me away]

Hold my hand, and know, I hate letting go
Smile, and for that moment, I have the whole world
It may be cliché, but I had to tell you somehow
The thought of you sets my heart aglow
[“You’re my hardest goodbye and my favorite hello”]

I sing a song of leprechauns of butterflies and rain
I sing a song with a melody that’s never quite the same
Of lollipops and daffodils and other pretty things
Child’s play, a simple game, the laughter that it brings
Of lover’s tears, darkened clouds, figures in moonbeams
Beautiful reminders that nothing’s as it seems

I sing my song for all to hear, those both far and wide
I sing my song for only me, I keep it hid inside
My fingers feel the piano keys, smoothly as they shine
The music plays itself you see, different every time
Feel free to hum along with me, it’s simple as songs go
Feel the beat inside your heart, and you’ll find you already know

I sing this song for everyone who’s ever hummed a tune
I sing this song just for me I sing it just for you
Every soul extends its song, rhythm and beat, pitch and tone
If our souls all sang together no one would ever feel alone
I sing a song of fairy dust of diamonds dew and dreams
I sing a song to remember love as autumn leaves flow downstream

Sleepy Green Eyes, rest your head,
Slip softly into dream,
Walk amoung the painted clouds,
See their golden gleam...

Sleepy Green Eyes, night has come,
Laisser votre jour va,
Your lover and the silver moon
Guard you from afar...

Sleepy Green Eyes, drift away,
Dance, or swim, or soar,
A melody, a drug, a dream,
Une berceuse pour vous mon coeur

I want your advice, I want your obstinate,
I want your headstrong self-confident,
I want your fingers, I want your hands,
I want your bare-skinned body in the sand,
I want your voice, I want your touch,
I want you gentle and I want you rough,
I want your laughter, I want your smile,
I want you happy, moody, or wild,
I want your embrace, I want your kiss,
I want to feel appreciated, cared for, missed,
I want you quiet, I want your trust,
I want your understanding, I want your lust,
I want your affection, I want your time,
I want to be yours and for you to be mine

If I could write a song to make you fall in love,
I wouldn’t sleep until the words inside my chest were written down,
The whole night long I’d spend writing you your song, another love-me-do song

What a common tragedy, the one I love doesn’t love me,
And there’s nothing to be done to quell my perfect misery,
So I guess I’ll deal, teach myself how not to feel, and not to see

Instead I'll write a song, ‘cause that’s what I do, to help me through,
Compose the words to demonstrate just why I fell in love with you,
Your eyes, your lips, your smile, your beard, everything about you dear,
I love, even your temper and your flaws, reasons I hold on because
They make up you the who you are, the you you are

It won’t change a thing, a simple tune can draw a smile
Or an endless sea of tears, but it can’t create emotion that never existed to begin with,
No, nothing will make you love someone you don’t, this I know…

This melody may be a plea that would snap a thousand heartstrings,
Poets and lovers ‘round the world will feel the pain raging inside me, but you won’t,
The best song I ever wrote will go to waste because you won’t, because you don’t…

But I’ll still write a song, continuing the tale, what we've been through,
Compose the words to clarify why I am still in love with you,
Your face when you’ve finally fell asleep, the comfort when you’re holding me,
Holding your hand, always the honest loyal friend, sometimes smarter than I am,
All these things and so much more, are why you're the one I adore
