Wishing that I could make these golden moments with you here last
Like a welcome dream I want our love always to last .But there's no
Guarantee for you nor me, the future is rushing toward us so fast
Will I awake and find you gone and have to live the rest of my life
All alone each lonely night preparing a dull and sad old man's dish
This is not what I wish

You're the reason that love has come my way and the inspiration
to make it through each passing day.
As the hours tick on by, you're the reason I lose track of time
You're the reason that I sought you out as mine
When my need is great you never turn me aside
You're the reason I'm so happy and checked my selfish pride
Get down on my knees and thank the Lord for this feeling
Gently growing ever so quickly deep inside
You're the reason that keeps our love alive

Listen son stop trying to tell me I don't belong here
Because I was black in the state of Virginia which makes me American
With these large brown eyes you see staring At your phony pretending  concern, you use kung fu words  with the speed of Bruce Lee  all the while trying to edge closer to my personal life which will remain closed
You think that claiming to love and follow Denzil Washington and Oprah
Will make me feel loved and distracted
What do you know about the highs and lows of being Black?
I'm about to back you up and put you in your place
And stay out of the place you keep trying to put me
Cause who I am is ...me

I feel my heart being fast, need to be held close
And kept warm,don't have any hidden secrets to keep
Just want to be held by your side, until I drift off into sleep
My thoughts are pure, never need to be warned
Hard rain is falling down,  everyplace tonight
Just want to be cozy and ever so warm, so I'm asking very kindly
And sweet, please take in out of this storm

Time fades away like the flower
Man tests his talents at his best and daily fails morality's test
Going fast now are today's hours
Worms do supp on dead man's bones
Not out of love, but simply for the feast set before them
Be sure to give me your flowers of praise now
While I'm yet alive to smell their sweet perfume
Let always your thanks for any kindness of mine
Enter my ears like soft bells
Please do all of this before I go

Tears are falling in the street, from so many young and old dying
People  going to bed hungry in this rich nation, because they don't
Have enough to eat, kids in the ghetto here or across the seas need
Shoes on their feet, I wonder if young girls on the street, will make
It home safely in short and tight dress,plunging neckline  showing
Your uncovered *******, kids are sitting high in school, not even
Learning, but for some money they didn't even earn, for that they seem
To be yearning, if they keep on going the wrong way, their lives will be
A tangled mess, broken down morals from babies out of wedlock,
Previous time just thrown away, when you lay your head down tonight
Will you wake up to the sunrise of another day

If I could only feel love moving and starting in my heart
And feel tears flow all because love had a chance to start
Someone to come and keep my spirit warm on  cold and lonely nights
Someone who will say I love you and got you
Keep my heart and life running with ease
Someone who'll hold my hand and never leave me
I want a love that stimulates my senses
Puts me on a natural high
One that will give me structure with the wings to fly

Sadness thought that it had me. But your love came along
And grabbed me. Now fill me up until I overflow with love
Let us drink from the same cup in unity. Because I loved you
Before you knew just what love really was.

The first time I saw your face was like the stars fell
From the sky.The EARTH itself seemed to move
When I kissed the soft rose petals of your lips my love
I saw natural beauty in your face and eyes.
Would have fought off an army with a single sword for you.
And prepare to bravely die.would have been willing to go through
The dark woods all by myself with no possible direction
More concerned about your personal welfare
Than my own protection

MY LOVE I'm thinking of you
it's growing dark outside as the sun is pulling its color away from Earth
slowly, cautiously,silently
I can smell the Earth scents, still warm in the air
leaves and grasses, living and dead flowers fragrances from some nearby place,all these odors and many others
of cooking and flowers mingled and mixed into a indefinable potpourri
by the cool and welcomed breeze that dares to rustle the leaves and break the hush
somehow, its my favorite hour of the day, twilight
it has a haunting quality as all things pause and grow still
while the departing daylight silences their colors
old lives and new ones. the honored,the thief, rich man, poor man,beggar man,-all caught up in the stillnesof time,waiting,wondering, listening.
perhaps the Earth too will stop and the seas spin and might never be another dawn for us beyond this night
I wish I knew what thoughts you held concerning me
I only know that you must let time remember our love
the currents of which run deep
as I behold your face in the reflecting pool of my dreams
and now in prayerlike silence
I thank you for setting me free from yesterdays lonliness
I wait here for you to walk softly into my waiting arms
as you enter softly in to my presence

Why do we have to fight other people's battles,
When we have our own to face, we're here on earth to inspire and help
Each other, before we all leave this place, some day unlimited time
Given to you, won't really matter, death comes to steal both prayers
Hard work and dreams, and everything else time will shatter

I tell the sun to stay in place on a cloudless day
I'm so cool and classy movie stars copy my style and ways
Guess that anyone can say what makes me think this way
It's because of my love. I'm talking about my one and only true love
I'm so rich and famous BILL GATES envies me. I can fly faster and
Smoother than the human eye can even see. Guess that anyone could say
What causes me to think and feel this way, my love talking about my love
Wish you could  see her walking or even hear her talking
My love

You're the dream that I've always dreamed of, and it must be true
If You pray and believe hard enough, they really do come true
I asked the question is love real, and you came as the answer that's
How I feel, people spend their whole lives , raising false hopes, and
When they're let down walk around with sad frowns, but  uncovered
You as the real deal, building up sweet things to be, let me say now that
I'm so happy with you as my dream

When I'm weary from a long day of work
Your very presence is all I need
When I think to myself that I can't do it
Looking at you makes me know that I can succeed
When my bank nearly on low, I'm still rich indeed
because your love is there  to guide
You're the walking inspiration now beside me
Without you in my life
Really what could I do
Thank God for you

If you see me sinking low, reach out a helping hand. Most times I can
Stand strong and independent on my own, but every now and then
We all can use a hand to stand. When I get up each morning, after the
Night is gone and done, I thank GOD for letting me see the rising of that
Same old sun, so try not to complain, stop thinking you're all that, you
Could be dead and cold in an unmarked grave, that could be a fact
Time to be thankful for every minute and second of every of each day
Be thankful that GOD loves you enough to grant another day

Our love is a song to remember, one that will be recalled, down through
The years of time, a symphony tenderly played, on the piano keys of life
Much like a stirring, Chopan composition, unforgettable to both the heart
And mind, to rest peacefully forever,within our mortal souls

I'm sweeping the pieces of yesterdays dreams away that crashed
And fell outside of my door  majestic colors of blue gold red orange
All gone now but yet to rise from thee ashes like never before
All thoughts and dreams born inside
And I would say never open the door to silent longings
Not to be loved or embraced
When the heart is ready and open it will enter
To cause a celebration

Go on now if you're leaving me
Since you seem to delight in my greiving , I'll steel my heart
As you walk out that open door and carry out your things
As I brought them in before
Don't know really what caused our love flame to dye out
When we loved each other it was over the top
But I need to know just when did the loving stopped

the  youth sleeps unheard in the old man's heart
The restless yearnings burned out by old age
Happy music of glad years now past
Echo in the lonely corridors of his mind
And though eyes are still full of life
The journey will soon end by death 's final degree

Overcome every challenge
Chase every dream and make it real
Life isn't as hard as some make it seem
And you will live the best life of all
Climbing every mountain makes your will stronger and stronger
And there exists no fear at all

You'd better stop playing the devil's game
Before it turns around on you.Out in the street with all the wrong crowd
When your looks start to fade and the figure spreads
And the phone no longer rings
Sleepless lonely nights spent crying out loud
I'm not like the other men you've known in the past
Who want a race to your bed I'm the marrying kind
And the love of a good woman remains in my head
Dad and others I've confided in say I should walk away now
Because that life of confusion is just like quicksand will
Make a devil's player end up all alone
The more you play the faster you sink
Your head is so messed up how can you think?
Please stop playing the game is my advise before the game
And the devil turn around on you

Impossible that's what they said of me and you .Impossible now we
We are a happy two.It's so wonderful to know that you're really all mine
Like the powerful roar of yonder sea or the tune of a violin melody
Of sweet love, there's nothing that can shake or break us or stop
Us from doing our thing.We're just impossible  all the world will see
Impossible a smiling loving relationship to be . It's so wonderful to
Know that you're really mine

We're two men walking on the same street, and since I don't like you
Must come up with a plan to **** with a bullet or chokehold and say
That you tried to take away my police gun, after a few days the Grand Jury will decide that I committed no crime and I'm walking around free
While you're buried in the ground, my badge is untarshed
I'm trying to stay out of the headlines and not make a fuss
But everybody knows the truth of RICHARD PRYOR'S words when
He said that JUSTICE is JUST US

Not long ago somebody said that the love we all know is dead.
Somebody said that loving someone forever dreams are gone.
I heard somebody say love is just a passing fancy. And nothing new.
After coming to love's defense in a lawyler's oratory tone
I stated boldly that lie was never true.Just hold up the looking glass
And behold a glance of me and you.

Share a little love and kindness with your brother
Even though you both might be different colors
In this big city of brotherly love  
Don't you know God wants us all to know and share His love
Sent down from Heaven up above
So share a little kindness and love today
Go on and give it away

Now that you're leaving, I thought it was all a bad dream,
But it's a real fact, and should you decide to come back home here to me
I just want you to know right now , my darling girl,that's
A no crossing track, just have to stop my tears that are falling silently
Won't stop you from going out that door, if you really want to be free
And if life lets you know , it was all one big mistake, know that I
Prepared to move on, so don't come running back to me

You know this love given so rich and fully
Makes me dance around and I can't hold my peace
Its proper name has been called love by all down through
The centuries, got a hold on me now so dizzy I cannot see
Whatever else somebody would call this thing, its moving like fire
Inside of me, I get weak and don't have any strength
Think of you all the time , and to others not in love like us
They shake their heads and walk away because it really makes no sense
And its everything good one in love could think of
Yes , feels like fire slowly burning in my bones
Before it overcame me, I wanted to leave it alone
You know a manor woman cannot run while chained to a giant tree
Guess everybody in town know now
That it just won't let me be

Dreams are for those who sleep. Living and loving is for folks to keep.
Do you have any dreams . That I can make come true? Just let me be
Good to you.Never will I leave you or throw your faith down or
Or turn your happy smile upside down . To love you forever is all I
Can do. And walk in the sunshine of life with you

I really don't know if I'll ever really learn
That love is a fire that warms the heart inside, but it can also burn
Guess it's just my time to learn, step out the giant shadow
That our love once cast, right now I'm feeling it
But in time as the saying goes, this hurt too shall pass
The darkest night turns into day usually
And oh how we curl up and mourn in tears
When love is taken away, I must get out in the world again
To find some happy moments that will last
For I really believe inside myself starting today
That this hurt too shall pass

I won't be satisfied until I make you mine
Come take my hand and let's travel on through time
And if you don't learn to feel like I feel
Just let me turn and walk away
But you really know inside I want to stay
It's hard to calm my nerves when you're in my presence
And I don't want any more of our precious time to pass away
And I want you to know that my feelings as of now will
Remain the same and pray my love will last until my dying day

Hope you saw my help wanted posting
Please don't feel sorry for me or think I'm desperate
And don't go feeling alarmed Just waiting here patiently and calm for you to knock on the door than walk into my arms

Always do good so that evil will flee
For evil is a force that you cannot really see
Evil takes the soul captive and goodness is the army
That kills this enemy

Once again night has tumbled down through the universe
Wonder if the tired  and weary made it through
As the sun unzipped it's yellow light on cities around the world
Those who test their courage to find love yet not known
Win

Mama's gentle hand rested in mine before putting me on
The giant yellow school bus and somehow awareness made it known
I could trust these hands with my life
The very same hands that wiped away my silent tears
Hugged and kissed away my fears chased with medicine and cold cloths
The fever from my brow death has taken her from me
Leaving sweet memories behind
O how I wish to feel that loving caress as mama put on my stylish cap
And shinny shoes and after school lessons were done at night
Prepared each meal into a bountiful feast to take the mind off
The poor neighborhood of youthful blues
I watched her hands iron shirt and pants pressed so fine
Mama never asked for much for herself but was always
Giving to others with a smile if you were hungry she would
Put an extra plate on the table  while calling you her pet name
For all ''Sugar'' even in trying and hard times she provided for
Her children
Now in my mind I see my mama on bended knees with eyes closed
In prayer thanking GOD for taking her through another day
Across the falling sands of time in the hour glass
I can still see mama's hands

What's the matter baby is leaving on your mind? I need to know
One minute you say that you love me and the next that you don't
One minute you want to, and the very next you don't
I'm so tired of the way that you do me it's a crying shame
Baby , I'm so tired of feeling alone even when you're home
You treat me so bad , don't be surprised if my eyes and body start to roam
What's the matter baby, is leaving me really on your mind
I can't bear the suspense any more not one more day
And I've prepared myself that its fine

ITS  not easy being a baby these days. I get pushed around in a carriage
Or stroller to places I might not even want to go, and some people think
That's great, but maybe I want to stay home. I have to cry for my food
Or when I need clean clothes.All day long people are making funny faces
At me trying to make me laugh.But I'm just a serious guy.Also they talk
Funny and I haven't learned to speak yet,so adults don't know what I'm
Thinking so I just stare at them while they perform and try to amuse me
So as you can see, its not easy being a baby today, it's hard work

Our love is a strange dance of pretense.Your turn to curstsy
My turn to bow.We both need to agree to walk off the dance floor
Into the welcoming embrace of the last goodbye
Because as yet happiness is a long dream  that I have yet to see come true
This might be a sad statement coming from grief
But I've grown tired of pain sinking its sharp teeth into me
My entire being is so hurt and each day it keeps getting worse
This strange dance is no longer a slight chance for me or you
In keeping up with this strange dance
Once long ago in the past I would have tried
But realize now its simply time to say my last goodbye to this
Strange dance

Your arms are the sweet and warm cradle where I belong
Took me in and forgave me of all my past mistakes
Your wonderful love showed me and the World at large
You have  just what it takes, no longer alone and wandering
On my lonely own, not since your love enbraced  and called me home
Each moment with  you love lifts me higher and higher
Than a cloud could ever be the warmest feeling
That keeps a man inspired, my life is a river of clear happy
My tears fall silently for those out on the streets
Not knowing this new joy, who have to roam
Keep loving me girl the way that you're doing
Because your love called me home

Tender is  my love with no pretenses and its all yours
I think its Heaven sent just let me give it to you
This man wants to make each dream come true
Tender is my love but no longer belongs to only me positively
Yours its given so freely Darling please be mine
Let us be the great love of all time tender is my love
It belongs to only you there was a time long ago when
This would not have been true
But now I  want to find you in my arms a romance brand new
Tender is my love and this bouquest of feelings is bound together with a  pink bow for you
For tender is my love just waiting here for you

You are my most special memory in all of my recollection of thought
I know that part of a woman's charm and grace is in her mystery,
Which she will always be to some special man please come into this
longing heart
All choices made should be made in love or else what is one to do
When the lover slips out forever into the darkness of goodbye
Will you cling to whoever will have you?What happens when
The music of loving stops?
The truth is always terrifying and shameful, but it always remains the truth
We lose ourselves in the stars and each other.
For nothing lasts forever , only art.I heard you call and within my spirit
Answered your fills the deepest part of who I am
For you know me, like you know yourself. Wherever you go,I'm with
You in spirit.When travel in the mind takes me to a distant shore
I behold it in all of its wonder and beauty for both of us.
With you not near,loneliness gripsme inside with eagle claws,
Even when you're not near, I can sense you approaching

Love is chocolate or vanilla to my soul
And I need so much your hand in mine to hold
I'll share with you my cherry pie
Want to love your sweetness forever
Until the day that I die
You're the only one in this life
I want to grow old with

Children of the world join together and be kind
Invent something or come up with a plan that will benefit all mankind
Your legacy of love and kindness people won't ignore
It will bless the entire world for sure
Let's all come together while there's still time
If we're friends of all colors for peace it will blow hate's mind
I won't hurt you with no weapons of violence or war
And isn't this what we've all been working for
Children of the world can't we agree I need you to make it through
This life and you surely need me
Let's build up the world and stop tearing it down
And make others in each neighborhood smile
And not in sadness because of murders have to their heads  and frown
Children of the world please listen to me
Let's join hands in love around the globe
And let peace be

I'm a comic genius at hiding my depression
Daggers  of torment stab me lurking in the dark corners of this funny mind nothing can make it go away not smoking drinking jokes
Or the hundreds of voices that come roaring out of my mouth
You must be familiar with my rapid fire quips and the Oscar
Among the other awards that have made my name known World wide
So now the day has arrived when nothing can stop the urge
To sneak into the bedroom hanging myself with a belt
That quickly chokes out the bright flame of my career
And all life and hope

The cracked mirror on the wall gives off a crooked image
When problems came to me I thought there was strength inside
To fight off and overcome them all
Why ever cry when love is coming by to let happiness be
I know that its hiding just around the corner
So come speedly  my love and rescue me
Love is a big hot air balloon taking the breathe away
Moving with such inside on any given day
And there is always so much to learn as our love seeds
Start to bloom and grow inside as we hold each other
And know that the flame must never dye inside
There's no need for us to be clever just let it bloom and grow forever

Some people love two or three times or more trying to get it right
Before time runs out but if I could have my say and way you only love  Once and that should be enough because love more than that can be
Real rough sharing yourself and emotions at any time can be tough
And if I could have my way and say you only love once and if
Done right should be enough

Scars are map lines showing where you've been
And make you think about all the moments that have touched your life
But didn't end it. The fire still burns inside despite the pain
You can still see the light ahead of the future
Time will see that all of your needs are met
The power to change the world is your's

She wore a white wedding gown, but any fool could plainly see
The groom about to make her a wife, should have been me
What turned us away from each other, I can't seem to recall, but I missed
Out on marrying the girl of my youth, and the pain to this day
Hurts worst of all, so if you have someone special, and want to get down
On bended knee, listen to this old boy's plea, be sure with all of your
Might that you really love her, with all of your heart and soul
Look what happened to me

Sorrow is in my soul's kitchen right now
Fixing up a bitter lunch and because I don't look like what I've
Been through, friends and family don't even have a hunch
Know that there's a lesson to learned in all of this
And I'm sure lives others would like to swap
But you see the blues have stripped me down and left my soul bare
Which is why these tears slowly falling down a wet path on my face
Never ever stop.Tears keep on falling and people pass on by and stare
In this cold and heartless city they don't seem to really care
Wish that it was possible to send up a kite of hope
Against a cloudly sky of naked despair
Sorrow just brought his little brother named trouble in Lord
Please pull this misery chokehold off me
Because you're the only one who can

America just look at what you've done, getting us into war after war,
That are never really won.I'm weeping these tears now, because one of
Your wars across the sea, took away my only son, his letters of coming
Home soon, are all I have, and smiling face in a picture on the mantle
Piece, make me feel inside so sad, the president is getting ready to tour
The country, and say that we should put more troops in another land
Fully  armed on the ground, when will the bell of peace, ring around the
World with an unbroken sound

Others I thought looked but didn't really see
Until you looked inside and saw my every need
That's what one would call silent looking
I had been hurting for awhile
But your new love gently changed my life style
For all time to come keep silent looking
