(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by McCartney)

My girlfriend looks at me with love,
I smile with joy and fear,
I don’t know what to expect,
As she cries her singular perfect tear.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley)

I sometimes wonder in this month of Halloween,
About the people I have lost,
About the reasons for my worries,
And the dearest price to me they’ve cost,
I sometimes wonder if those friends are standing by,
As ghosts or guardian angels,
Resting on my shoulder night and day,
And wonder if we’ll meet when I end it all.

Cry
(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by R. Kelly)

I feel them,
Hard like nails, pressing from behind,
I won’t let them out in front of you,
I run,
I run,
I run to the bedroom,
Close the door of solid wood,
And cry.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Don’t close that door on us,
Give us half a chance,
We can work it out I’m sure,
Don’t play our final song,
Don’t make this our last dance.

Don’t shut me out your heart,
Let me hear it beat,
We can work it out I know,
Don’t leave me in the cold,
Don’t banish all our heat.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Tomorrow never knows the sun,
For tomorrow never arrives,
Like watching the smoking gun,
When you are the one who’s died.

Tomorrow never knows the breeze,
For tomorrow never appears,
Like climbing the tallest trees,
When you’re older than your years.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Miles I have struggled,
Trudged down the manacled streets,
A lifetime spent in misery,
Surrounded in sin and tragedy,
The long and winding road I walk,
Is diseased with pain and hurt,
I bury my heart and evil soul,
To save them from death and wicked sights,
Scarred by rumours; afeard of the light.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Harrison)

Something in your touch comforts me,
Like a baby upon mothers knee,
I am secure and sense no fragility,
Somehow I trust you implicitly.

Something in your kiss just astounds,
Like a bird calling his sunrise sounds,
I am amazed by the tenderness I’ve found,
Somehow your lips kiss me so profound.
