I saw you on the street
Tall and thin and beautiful
We talked on the corner
Waited through the next signal
We gazed into each other’s eyes
Then we both moved on
OK, a missed connection
But still a connection
So this is my only chance
An online call out
I know I’m just a voice in the wind
But it was chance meeting you
And by chance we will really connect again
Until then, I have hope in my heart
I’m looking for you
I’m 6’3”, and wore a beret

It’s a good morning
Good morning to you
Good morning to life
Good morning to all
A bright day ahead
Soon I’ll surprise
My lover and let her discover
That if we try
We’ll build her a future
A beautiful sigh
For today is the day
I’ll ask for her hand
Today is the day
When she’ll understand
How much I love her
That I always will
Today is the day
Today is a thrill

She’s awakening now
Those big bright eyes
Greet me with a smile
It’s a natural high
Hanging together
Hanging forever
Hanging today
For the rest of our lives

Savvy and sultry
Jeanine is such a beauty
Paul — lean and lanky
Both of them free
And single
Let’s see what happens
When happenstance arrives
Paul likes her personality
They meet at a job in the nice part of town
He’s the handyman
She plants flowers
They chat so pleasantly
Share some lemonade
They both think
“It’s been such a long time
Since I went on a date”
It was time to give it a chance
Yes, they could relate
So Jeanine asked the house owner
For his number
Immediately called
They’re down by the lake right now
Each enthralled

The world is filled with obvious things which no one ever sees
So says Sherlock Holmes, he's talking about me
For I did not detect someone shadowing me
Making herself indispensable in my life
It happened so subtlety
You see, I'm an ordinary man, with habits all his own
In the very early morning, I must be left alone
To gather my thoughts, take in the morning news
Then I go about my day, easily amused

I'm not quite sure how it happened but one lass caught my eye
Her name, if you must know it, is Cindy, and, whoa, she is sly
One thing led to another, until finally, this is where it's at
She's pretty much running the show, imagine that

It should have been obvious to me I would fall for her
I mean, take a look at those legs, they'd make any dude insecure
Combined with that personality, oh, and does she cook!
I'm not sure I needed more than one good look
At her and who she is and why it ought to be
That I should be with her and she should be with me

Obviously, I love this magnificent specimen of femininity
Meet my true love, say hello to Cindy

I see the trace of her outline as she walks into the sunset
A silhouette against the twilight
Soon the moon will rise and with it my hopes
Just as I know she will return
We reveled in these good times
As this day turns into night
We shall cherish all we have
We shall love with all our might
This portrait shall stay with me
In my heart, alive

It’s the end of our beginning
Beyond infatuation
Real commitment
The realization
Each day shall bring us closer
Even when we are away

This feeling we share
Unites us in so many ways
Crashing through our lives
Like so many waves
Ever in my thoughts
Her radiance so desired
I just want to be close to her
We have arrived

In wonder
I give thanks for a brand new day
Moving forward
Maybe ahead of the game
I’m feeling up
It’s gonna be all right
I got my baby
She loves me
I’m full of fight
Ready to learn
To see the light
Dreaming together
A holy mystery of love
Living for today
For her and me

Some things you want to remember
Some things you can’t forget
Some days are filled with joy
Some days are full of regret

Some days are meant for love
Some days that love is gone
Some feelings last forever
Somehow you just carry on

Everyone’s got a someone
Their good old used to be
Someone who still lingers in a heart
But will never be
That one and only
Yet is a lifetime love
Here’s to those special loves
Some have more than one
