Angel
You wear it well;
The very thought of you
A reason to believe.
I wouldn't  ever change a thing

The way you look tonight
I only have eyes for you;
Love and be loved,
You are everything
Tonight I'm yours

So much to say
In my own crazy way.
It's all over now,
Farewell.
I don't want to talk about it
It's over.
Every line is the title of a Rod Stewart song from one of his many albums.

The gentle waves eased their way towards the shore, knowing that their journey had ended

Her footprints on the waters edge slowly disappearing, erased in the sands of time as she looked out from the sea

The harbour light was shining, shimmering in the dark, as if waiting for that moment to guide her toward my outstretched arms as she waved and beckoned, " I'm here!"
But the light slowly faded as she cried my name and I froze; I could go no further.
She returned to the sea, one final look, lost to me forever.

Don't waste your time on hatred,
Confine it to the past
And focus on tomorrow
With happy thoughts at last

The wounds of time that once brought tears
Will vanish from your mind
As happy times return once more
With thoughts of love so kind

So walk again with your head held high
With happiness in your heart
You've broken free from the hell that was
And deserve this brand new start.

Time.
We all share it
But for how long
Make every second count
In case there's no tomorrow
So savour every moment
Don't let it slip away.

Behind the rocks in the searing sun
The bullets ricochet off the parched ground
And I pray inwardly to survive just one more day
My men around me, brothers in arms and proud
To serve their country boldly,
With unrelenting bravery in the pits of hell
We soldier on.
And then there's tomorrow when we return home
No more death or destruction, the loss of more friends
At peace with my loved ones
Until the next time.
No longer the hero, no time to adjust; Forgotten
But give me tomorrow.

Memories of my school days are still in my mind
The times were so easy, so innocent so blind
Simplicity met the harshness, the mystery of life;
Confusion, excitement, such changes, such strife
Things will be be different, I will do what I can
No longer a boy, but in my life as a man.

My first kiss, that first love, believing in good,
Deciding whats bad about the things that I should
Leaving home and getting a job,
Working long hours, no time for a sob
Bills that came monthly, paying my way,
Life wasn't easy, I preferred to play.
But becoming a man was always to be, After being that boy was such fun for me;
The joy and the laughter, no bills and no pain
Just playing around in the sun and the rain
So lucky to have lived such a wonderful life,
Content with my lot and the love of my wife,
I grew up

The blue sky with scattered clouds, drifting aimlessly across the sea
I look up and smile, for she might be looking down on me, watching as I tread my lonely path.
I miss her counsel, she was good and wise, forever loving and always there
But she is gone, and won't be back.
I walk without her, feeling her presence guiding me with a steady hand
I will always miss her, I will always love her; I can't forget those wonderful days
where love conquered all.
Nothing else mattered.
If I could turn back time, I'd have it all again.
