In Time
Days from now the tears won’t show
And I’ll look just like everyone else
And dreams we lost can be recovered
I’ll reclaim myself
I’ll walk the streets I walked last summer
As if I’d never been anywhere else
Friends will talk, this time I’ll listen
They say take care of yourself
In time they say I’ll forget about you
Get on with my life start livin’ anew
In time they say I will learn to be free
All the things that I want will be waiting for me
In time they say I’ll be happy somehow
But they never explain how to deal with it now
Years from now the tears won’t show
And I’ll look just like everyone else
And loves we’ve lost can be remembered
I’ll remember myself
I’ll fumble through old piles of memory
And find you there with everything else
And reminisce about that summer
Wherever you are take care of yourself
New Tattoo
You’re so pretty, love the way you smile
Wish you would come on over baby,
stay a little while
At night I dream you’ve got an angel’s touch
You touch me over and over,
I want a little too much
Since I can’t have all my heart pursues
I’ll get a tattoo, yeah it looks like you
My new tattoo
It looks like you
I used to look at the babes in the magazines
Runway models and beauty queens
I’d fantasize ‘bout the ones on the TV screen
But they never compare
to the one in my dreams
So I laid down money for a personal view
I bought a tattoo, yeah it looks like you
Now, I’ve been told when I’m old and gray
That my mini Mona Lisa gonna fade away
You’ll turn into a memory from the distant past
Because the good things, baby, they never last
But they’ll never take away
what’s important and true
I’ll have a tattoo of a shadow of you
I Have You
Been here thinkin’ ’bout my life
And the choices that were made
My life is much too good to regret a single day
And in this early morning light
I can focus on the truth
The things that matter are the things that stay
I believe it’s time to step back
And look at the road gone by
I’ve counted the days, watched my history fade
Oh, don’t the days fly by
And the memories come and go
What remains you never know
But I’ll hold on, just hold on
To the only thing that’s sure
I have you
You, you are the light that shines down on me
Without you in my life where would I be?
Now I’ve been challenged with a choice
Now it’s do or die
Do I care enough to ride this rage?
And when the answer isn’t clear
Just who defines my side?
Still I need this closure just to turn the page
I believe it’s time to step back
And look at the road gone by
I’ve counted the days, watched my history fade
Oh, don’t the days fly by
And the memories come and go
What remains you never know
But I’ll hold on, just hold on
To the only thing that’s sure
I have you
You, you are the light that shines down on me
Without you in my life where would I be?
The Call
In a promise I made to myself
In a time drenched in dream
There was a hope of a curious kind
Even now I remember the time
In a prayer I repeat to myself
Now a plea for material things
But a cry of a destiny sure
Even now, I’m lost in its lure
In my wander thoughts I ponder
In survival, I my rival
And in my roam I’m not alone
Now is the hour prove the power
And I swear as I stand here today
Actions taken built on promises made
A bitter struggle to the bitter end
What more is left to defend?
In a prayer I repeat to myself
Time and again wondering when
Will there now be time enough
God, there is not time enough
In my wander thoughts I ponder
Feeling tender, still no surrender
As my heart beats, if my heart beats
