For You
For you I’d climb a mountain,
I’d grab the furthest star,
I’d walk from here to Timbuktu,
No distance is too far.
I’d drive all night, and longer,
For just a passing glance,
I’d camp in your back garden,
If I thought I had a chance.
I’d walk through coals and feel no pain,
If you were waiting there,
I’d find you in a crowded room,
Forgive me if I stare.
You know I’d heal your broken heart,
I’ll take away your pain,
Remember now, that warm embrace,
To make you smile again.
For you’re all I ever wanted,
I love you, heart and soul,
And I would gladly die for you,
Because you made me whole.

He Looked Like You
Today I saw a man; he looked like you,
He crossed my path and stopped me in my track,
That old familiar feeling; out the blue,
I stared at him and found him looking back,
Confused, it wasn’t you, how could it be?
This stranger, for a moment, brought you near,
Yet once again I felt my heart run free,
And disappointment mingled with my fear,
He looked like you but didn’t have your smile,
The crooked grin, the welcome in your eyes,
And though I haven’t seen you for a while,
This stranger had no power to hypnotise,
He looked like you, the man I saw today,
He looked at me and carried on his way.

I Came Across A Picture
I came across a picture,
Two lovers hand in hand,
They’re strolling in the sunset,
Both barefoot in the sand.
They’re gazing at each other,
The way all lovers do,
It’s such a lovely picture,
So strange, he looks like you.
But tell me, who’s the lady,
You’re just about to hold,
She doesn’t look a bit like me,
I wouldn’t be so bold.
And tell me why you keep it,
Hidden secretly away,
Did you think I wouldn’t find it,
What are you going to say.
The proof is there for all to see,
You’re playing away from home,
You say the trip was business,
But you were not alone.
You found another woman,
To pass off as your wife,
I can’t believe the pain I feel,
What will happen to my life.
I made my plans around you,
Sacrificed so many years,
I’m faced now with betrayal,
And angry, bitter tears.

I Couldn't Love You More
The setting sun sinks softly in the sea,
The water gently lapping on the shore,
There’s no one in this place but you and me,
And no one’s ever shared this space before,
And God, if he exists, must surely be,
Benevolently smiling on this scene,
Encapsulated in the sky and sea,
For He and only He, knows where He’s been,
And in the golden glow that lights your eyes,
A light that shines forever in your soul,
I see a love that holds me mesmerised,
And I am only one half of the whole.
I hear the water lapping on the shore,
And realise, I couldn’t love you more.
