Chapter One

    A Part of You ...

    Do you know how much I Love you?
    Do you know how much I miss you when
    You're not around? I know that we talk
    SomeTymes for hours, but that doesn't
    Quench my desire to have you as an
    Integral part of my life. When we are
    Together I know how close we are, but
    When we are apart I know we are together
    In spirit. Simple songs can remind me of
    The days when we lived together as a
    Family. Although we have gone our own
    Separate ways and live our own separate
    Lives, I know that we're not ever that
    Far from home. Home that wonderful
    Place where we can spend our Tyme
    Together just talking or sharing a
    Wonderful meal. You always keep the
    Conversation lively and when the talking
    Turns to serious matters, I know we're
    There for each other's support. Never
    In my life have I known a Love so strong
    As the one we share together - that bond
    Of parent and child that keeps us close
    Regardless of where life leads us. No
    Matter where we go I am so happy to be
    A part of you.

    A Sad Song

    SomeTymes I just feel so all alone,
    Like I'm here, but nobody is home.
    I start to crumble and I start to cry,
    I hold my hands straight up to the sky.
    I think about you but you're not here,
    Why you're not is never quite clear.
    I think about you all through the day,
    You come around, but with nothing to say.
    We used to be close, now were apart,
    Seems it's been that way from the start.
    We had a strong Love nothing could break,
    Now I'm here and my heart starts to ache.
    I think about all the Love that I miss,
    It started out with one little kiss.
    We had it all when we would make Love,
    I thought God sent you from heaven above.
    I think about you when I can't sleep at night,
    I wish I knew how to make things all right.
    We had our chance but you wouldn't change,
    So now it's my life that I rearrange.
    I would have done anything just for you,
    I wanted you to know my Love is true.
    I chose the right path, you chose the wrong,
    It brings about a sad end to this song.


    All Alone

    Sad days follow sad nights all alone,
    I wish that you'd call me on the phone,
    I try to call but, you never write,
    I wish that I could see you tonight.
    I miss your kisses, I miss your touch,
    I miss the way you'd Love me so much.
    I miss our moments, I miss your voice,
    I begged you stay, leaving was your choice.
    I chose the high road, you chose the low,
    I see your shadows in places we'd go.
    I feel alone whenever I go to bed,
    I think about all the things that you said.
    I had such patience, all gone away,
    I hope that you'll come back some other day.
    Please come back and don't say goodbye,
    Please give our Love just one more try,
    Please come around and don't let this end,
    If not my Lover, then just be my friend.


    All My Life

    All my life I've been waiting to somehow survive,
    All my life I've been waiting for someone to arrive.
    All my life I've been waiting for someone to care,
    All my life I've been waiting for someone to be there.

    All my life I've been wanting somebody to listen,
    All my life I've been wanting someone for kissing.
    All my life I've been wanting somebody to take my hand,
    All my life I've been wanting someone to take a stand.

    All my life I've been needing somebody to share my nights,
    All my life I've been needing somebody to be part of my life.
    All my life I've been needing somebody who is true,
    All my life I've been needing somebody just like you.


    All of My Love

    I hold you and I hold you tight
    No nothing's ever felt so right.
    Now I bend and taste your lips
    I embrace you with a Loving kiss.
    I feel your body next to mine
    Your body's heat feels so divine.
    I'll feel your body next to me
    Then my mind will be set free.
    Your skin all smooth I feel it here
    Whenever you keep your body near.
    And when I'm down and feeling blue
    You know exactly what to do,
    You'll hold me in that special way
    That chases all my fears away.


    Alone Here Again

    Here I am alone again, once again you're
    Nowhere to be found. Oh, I just need you
    Near me. I can call on you and wish you
    Were here again, but it's not the same as
    You. It's just a moment in a daydream
    That never really ends. Every day, yes
    Every day, I can feel you next to me and
    That you're somewhere inside my heart.
    It's like you're here holding onto my hand
    And calming my soul. With your eyes you
    Possess me, for I am your Loving servant
    Begging you to keep me even closer where
