Last night I couldn't sleep
After you took me home when we walked  hand in hand
Under the moonlight,  when morning finally came I felt so adrift
And my lonely heart just didn't seem right, looked over at the ticking
Clock on the nightstand and started to reach for the phone
Needed to hear your voice ,but fought my silly pride
Maybe you'll help me find all the dreams that I left so far behind
And pull them all back to get some piece of mind
Somehow you know your love will wash away all the pain
Of the coming days and sleepless nights
Want to see you again walk together in spring rain
Be with you for all time, which is the only reason
I couldn't sleep last night

I want to be loved but by only you, I shouldn't be so madly in love with
You, but there's nothing else for me to do, this new feeling inside
Has me with gratefulness crying, my dreams of future sweetness
With you there is no denying , for I know that deep inside they
Will all come true' so glad  that you love me more than just a little
Because I want to be loved but by only you

I would travel unafraid through both time and space
Run through the jungle empty handed just to kiss and hold you near
And look into that smiling face , let my love be a shout through out
The universe, when it will come to meeting your needs my dear
Just know that I'll always put your needs first
Put me down in your heart as your number one man  and with me plain
Get on board my love Rocket ship as we race together
As a mighty pair through time and space

Embrace this moment and please be sure not to let this moment ever die
Because it was born into time just for you and I
So let us this time grasp or its a memory long past
And if we lose it sadness will make both of cry
Embrace this moment with me, love blooms so very tenderly
What have you got to lose my sweet one so dear to my heart
So let's give this romance our best try

I sat on concrete porch with  enclosed porch watching my daughter
Getting ready  to venture to the laundry mat, twenty-one, wise  single
College educated the same college where I received my degree
Thinking just how thankful as her father I am for her
And that she's here with me, one so young  yet so accomplished
Any father would be proud. At thirteen she was a supervisor at local
Church ,getting a salary. At fifteen she was a founding member of the
Germantown \Settlement Choir and a cheer leader at sixteen for Ba

mtoms football team,also she started swimming in the Roxborugh
Doing  Cart wheels on our side lawn. So as you can see leadership
and also kindness to all have always been in her blood,
And I bless the day that she was born

I can tell the difference between fact or fiction and so can you
Fiction would be if I said that I love you and didn't
Fact is that I love you beyond any great love that has ever been
Or has spanned the the years of time, you were there when lonely times
Came calling and reached out to me, when sad tears were falling
Thank you for my spirit being renewed, thank God  and Heaven for you

My senses reach out to embrace your spirit
But not with lust nor defilement
What a joy to know love born of no ill intent, that has slain pride of self
Enjoys the transparent happiness of giving to the person in need
With only the highest regard, taking a chance doesn't mean
That you have to fall
