Because of you, I can now see
You’ve given me your energy
Because of you, I am now free
Free from the hurt and misery

Because of you love came to me
A love that’s bound by honesty
Because of you, I came to be
Being with you is destiny

Because of you, I have no past
You’ve given me a love to last
Because of you, I’m no outcast
My love for you is unsurpassed

Because of you, Life’s not a strain
You took away most of my pain
Because of you, I feel again
Feel love for you I can’t contain

Because of you, I now feel strong
Stronger to know our love’s not wrong
Because of you I now belong
Fate brought me to you all along

There are large gaps in my memory

I can recall the day you left me

The radio was playing our song

You left me empty, and all alone

I hit the bottle, drinking on my own

Drinking to forget, the love I’d known

There’s no love here, only emptiness

Nothing here for you, just bitterness

You broke my heart, but it did not die

I’m over you now, and that’s no lie

Pictures of you I threw in the bin

I always hated your dimpled chin

Standing there with that look on your face

Why are you here, infecting my space?

When you left me crying on the floor

You hurt me so much, now there’s the door

Loving you was my only mistake

I was sleeping, now I’m wide awake

This time I’m not to blame
Wondering how to claim
That we won the mind games
Nothing remains the same

Was it something that was said
I lie wide awake in my bed
Cannot sleep thinking of the dead
Horrible visions in my head

Could you lend a hand
Maybe take a stand
In a foreign land
Is this what you planned

No bleeding hearts to be found
Keeping our feet on the ground
Keep on searching all around
Look up but never look down

Trying to be kind
Blind leading the blind
That is what you’ll find
Out of sight is out of mind

Let the little children play
Teach them of a peaceful way
War cannot be here to stay
Kids need peace, get it today

What is a lasting peace worth
Save our planet, mother Earth
Is ignorance really bliss
Gift for you, a loving kiss

A VALENTINE VERSE?

My love for you grows stronger every day,
My love for you will never ever fade away,
My love for you my darling is strong,
My love fir you will never go wrong,
This valentines day is just like any other,
Every passing year you get more like your mother,
She sits in her chair her face in a frown,
If I was a dog she would have me put down,
I jest my darling, my lovely Herself,
I want you one night all to myself,
But not tonight the footie is on,
When the kids are in bed and visitors gone,
We’ll go upstairs and into our room,
Like we’ve done before as bride and groom
The bedroom door I’ll firmly shut.
Because in this verse there’ll be no smut.
