Though they say you’re not my friend
You’ve been here through thick and thin
And for that little girl I love ya
And all I want to do is talk about ya.
I’m here to say
I love you more each day
And I just want to tell the world
That I love you so.
Though they put me down because
I love you as much as I do
But they don’t know what you’ve done for me
You’ve made such a happy man out of me.

Cause my love is strong
There’s only one that I place above you.
It’s God that I place above you.

That I love you so, yea.
Some folks say that it’s strange
But my whole life you have changed

LAND OF LA LA
***************
You were brought up in a small town
Where everyone greeted with a morning smile
I mean the place was so free from crime
You could leave your front door open
And if your eyes were drawn from a lack of food
Or your pockets were short on cash
There was always someone close at hand
That you could always run to
You could have been a doctor
And you could have been a nurse
But these things weren’t good enough for you
So you decided to pack up all you own
And get a one-way ticket there
To a place where all the successful people went
In order for them to do
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, land of la la
L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, the land of la la
You get off the bus, pick up a paper
And look through the classified
So that you might find a place
Suitable for you to move into
Then you turn around to pick up the duffle bag
That you brought along
But much to your surprise you find
Your bag has taken off walking
You dig in your wallet
To get your last dime
But then recall you just spent your last dime on the newspaper
You’re much too prideful
But pride has no defense
When all you’ve got in your possession
Is the wallet in your hands
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, living in the land of la la
You might get everything you want
But not want everything you get
Being in la la land is like nowhere else
Living in the land, one hell of a land, a land full of lost angels
Movie stars and great big cars and Perrier and fun all day
And that’s enough to make anybody go wild
In the land of la la
He’s a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
But only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
MOMENTS AREN’T MOMENTS
***************
Tender, warm and serene
Are the words that might come close to having
Remnants of the feelings that we can no longer hide
Mighty, shining and clear
Are but mere expressions that don’t come near
To the ever glowing eminence of light in our eyes tonight
‘Cause moments aren’t moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic’s not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom
Gentle, quiet, so soft
Are the wings of love that can send us off
To an ever splendor unknown to all in our time
Trusting in the unknown and giving in to what feelings have shown
Will take us to altered intimacies in our lives
Where we’ll find
That moments aren’t moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic’s not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom
‘Cause moments aren’t moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic’s not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom
GOTTA HAVE YOU
***************
Never been too much for watching
Cause there’s too many things to view
And when eyes begin to wander
They more than likely never get through
But beyond my own temptation
I’m enticed by what I see
And I won’t feel satisfaction
Until she’s where I want her to be
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Never been too much for talking
Cause there’s too many things to say
And by the time that I start speaking
The right moment has slipped away
But I must break this old tradition
And try to muster up the words
And though someone else may have said them
I’ll say them in way you’ve never heard
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I’ve gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Never been too much for touching
Cause there’s too many things to feel
Plus there’s too much disappointment
When you find out those feelings ain’t real
But here’s a time when inner senses
Are gonna have to shine the light
Cause I have overly committed
Myself in thinking that you’re alright
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
STAY GOLD
***************
Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time…so gold
Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever…and be in time
Stay gold
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
TUESDAY HEARTBREAK
***************
Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair,
Cause you say that you found another man,
Tuesday break heart, guess you just don’t care,
Cause you found you another man
I want to be with you when you’re all alone,
I want to be with you
when you feel you got another man,
You see, baby, it’s all alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
I wanna be with you when the daytime comes,
I wanna stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you
Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag,
When you know that you love her especially,
Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams,
Maybe than I can see you all the time
But I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
I wanna be with you when the daytime comes,
I wanna stay and never go away,
Oh baby, it’s alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
I wanna stay with you till the morning runs,
I wanna, baby, baby, baby, it’s alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
I wanna be with you till the daytime comes
Oh baby, get away, alright
