Blown by a warm south wind, I sail off to sea,
that's the path it seems that life has had for me.
Adventure whispers in my ear and calls me out it seems,
and gathers me along with all my hopes and dreams.

I dream of all the trips I'll take when life is simpler still,
and I wait to walk on beaches until I have had my fill.
I gaze into the eyes of my true love who stands here by my side,
as I watch for the rising of the sun and of the morning tide.  

I hold on to the hand of this true miracle of men,
and I'll keep him in this heart of mine until the very end.
The man I speak of truly was a gift from up above,
and I cannot live without him or without his gift of love.

He came to me a stranger, then became a steadfast friend
and led me from my misery and helped my heart to mend.
He guided me with his hand to be the woman I am now
and helped me to the place that started with a vow.

Now as the trade winds ******* I cannot help but think,
of the beauty by my side and the love that doesn't sink.
When adventure calls to me and whispers in my ear,
I cannot help but hold your hand and pray that you'll be here.

Years ago I met you just when you were but a boy,
I felt like I had known you for so long.
For months ahead I thought of us as you lived far away,
and I thought our loving friendship was so strong.

But I found that you had gone to live in heaven up above,
passing from our earthly life below.
And it broke my heart to know that I'd never see you live,
a life to share with those of whom you had known.

Then came the single life of a military man
and I felt the touch of love again so strong.
But once again I was to have a man who felt the need
to pursue a life in which I didn't belong.

Far away I felt the pain of love call once again,
though unwelcomed it will always be to me;
a man who was never mine brought a magic to my life,
it was a love never meant to be.

This heartbreak led me to another man who was to be my king,
he made me feel just I was like his queen.
But like before this heart of mine lay broken by its fall,
when he left me for a girl who was half his age at least.

So for now I will wait for the next to come along,
as I try to learn from all of my mistakes.
Though I remember all these loves and I hide them in my mind,
I wait 'til a time for a heart that doesn't ache.

I'm diving into your eyes, azure to match the skies;
In you I've found a love worth living for.
It fills my day with hope, that makes me want to cope
with the days that I am gifted in this world.

I've found my heart in you, and all I want to do,
is give you all you want to have in life.
The life I've seen thus far, has been so very hard,
but you have come to me to make me whole.

I've dreamed of older days, but that is where they stay,
for life began the day that you appeared.
The day that I met you, made it all worth living through,
and the love we have will last me 'til the end.

I am dreaming of a love that allows me to be free,
to be myself and not be afraid of what life holds for me.
I've prayed for this so long, it seems I cannot quite recall
of a time when I was not alone and did not want it all.

I dreamt of a love to hold me close and stay through troubled times,
to make me feel like I was special and ease my troubled mind.
One who will make me feel secure despite advancing years,
a man who will hold a handkerchief and wipe away the tears.

It seems to me that this is not too much to ask one for,
to give me something that will last and not to look for more.
It cannot be that You have made me live this life alone,
for You have promised me another in life to make a home.

So please don't fail me now for my time is growing nigh.
For 'til now this life has given me just any plain old guy
Can You be called to give me a someone to give me hope
so that I can live my life with joy and love to help me cope?

I saw you again last night
and I felt that old familiar pain.
In this world of romantic disbelief
I only have myself to blame.

Never wanting, my love, to settle for less
has left me all alone,
While others have their families
I am left watching TV at home.

You remind me of the woman I am
and the time we were best friends.
I pray that there will come a time
when we able to make amends.

Until that time, I know I will hold
you dearly in my heart.
You've always been a part of my life,
most certainly from the start.

So for now, my love, I will hold onto this
for it's the only thing that will prove,
that I once had a love that was part of my life
that moved my very soul.

You're hot, like Death Valley in July,
so hot, one touch could make me cry.
Hot, like the face of the summer sun
and in my heart I know you're the only one.

I try my best to keep my cool,
not wanting to play another man's fool,
But I've been patient for far too long
to tell you what I feel is strong.

You call my name and I grow weak
and struggle just to find my feet.
You make me feel like I was young
like springtime or a song that's sung.

You're hot, sizzling like the sun at noon,
like the sunshine on a desert dune.
Can you feel the love that you've inspired
and give me what my heart desires?
