Poetic Pleasures

I COULD OF HELD YOU
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
I KNEW THAT I LOVED YOU
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
AND THE SWEET SMELL OF YOUR HAIR
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
I KNEW A GREAT LOVE WE WOULD SHARE
I ...COULD OF KEPT YOU
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
I KNEW IT WAS TRUE LOVE
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED IN YOUR EYES
THE TOUCH OF YOUR BODY
YOUR BARE FLESH TOUCHING MINE
YES I KNEW THAT I LOVED YOU
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED IN YOUR EYES

THERE IS A PLACE I GO
WHEN I NEED SOME PEACE OF MIND
I THINK OF ALL MY DEAR LOVED ONES
WHO HAVE LEFT THIS OLD WORLD BEHIND
I IMAGINE THEM ON THE STREETS OF GOLD
AS A CHOIR OF ANGELS SING
AND IT REMINDS ME WE WILL BE REUNITED
AND... LIVE WITH GOD OUR HEAVENLY KING
THERE IS A PLACE I GO
WHEN I NEED SOME PEACE OF MIND
THEY ARE NO LONGER HERE IN BODY
BUT THERE IN MY HEART AND MIND
I THINK OF ALL MY DEAR LOVED ONES
WHO HAVE LEFT THIS OLD WORLD BEHIND
AND WHEN I NEED TO SEE THEM
I PICTURE THEM IN MY MIND
AND IT TAKES ME TO THOSE PRECIOUS MEMORY S
I HOLD SO LOVING,SWEET AND KIND
THERE IS A PLACE I GO
WHEN I NEED SOME PEACE OF MIND

YOU PREACH ABOUT JESUS
LIKE YOU AND HIM ARE FRIENDS
BUT YOU DO NOT ACT CHRIST LIKE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DEMONS WITHIN
YOU CONSTANTLY JUDGE EVERY BODY
AND THAT IS NOT GODS WAY
YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO JESUS
FOR ALL THE FALSE STORIES... YOU HAVE MADE
WHERES THE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
GOD PUTS IN EVERYONE OF HIS CHILDREN S HEARTS
IF YOU DO NOT ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS
YOU WILL BE BRANDED WITH THE DEVILS MARK
YOU PREACH ABOUT JESUS
LIKE YOU AND HIM ARE FRIENDS
BUT YOU DO NOT ACT CHRIST LIKE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DEMONS WITHIN
YOU CONSTANTLY JUDGE EVERY BODY
AND THAT IS NOT GODS WAY
IF YOU DO NOT PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH PREACHER
YOU WILL WAKE UP IN HELL ONE DAY

THEY SAY THAT BEAUTY'S ONLY SKIN DEEP
THAT TRUE BEAUTY COMES FROM INSIDE
I SAY WHEN YOU HAVE GODS LOVE IN YOUR HEART
YOU SEE THE WORLD THREW GODS EYES
HE IS THE CREATOR OF LOVE AND KINDNESS
YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER FRIEND
AND IF YOU ONLY SEE UGLY IN THIS WORLD
THEN Y...OU DO NOT HAVE GODS LOVE WITHIN
WE ALL KNOW BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP
AND UGLY IS SOMETHING YOU CANT HIDE
IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE BEAUTY ALL AROUND YOU
THEN YOUR LOOKING THREW THE DEVILS EYES

I WANT TO KISS THAT GIRL
AND TASTE HER SWEET LIPS
CARESS HER SOFT BODY
GENTLY WITH MY FINGER TIPS
I WANT TO HOLD HER CLOSE AND GENTLE
AND LOVE HER ALL NIGHT LONG
AND IN THE MORNING I WANT TO DO IT ALL AGAIN
WHILE THE BIRDS SING THERE ...SONGS
I WANT TO KISS THAT GIRL
AND TASTE HER SWEET LIPS
CARESS HER SOFT BODY
GET ALL THE LOVE THAT I CAN GET
I WANT TO HOLD HER GENTLY
AND GAZE INTO HER EYES
I WANT TO MAKE LOVE ALL DAY LONG
JUST TO PROVE TO MYSELF SHE IS MINE
I WANT TO KISS THAT GIRL
AND TASTE HER SWEET LIPS
MAKE WILD LOVE TO HER
WITH A PASSION THAT NEVER QUITS

FAR AWAY FROM YOUR LOVE
BUT YOUR ALWAYS ON MY MIND
I PRAY TO BE TOGETHER SOON
BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME
DARLING I AM SAVING ALL MY MONEY
DOING EVERYTHING A MAN CAN DO
I AM TOTALLY WORKING MY BUTT OFF
TO TRY TO GET BAC...K HOME TO YOU
BECAUSE IN MY HEART I KNOW I I LOVE YOU
AND NO ONE CAN LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN
AND MY MIND IS TOTALLY MADE UP
YOUR MY WOMAN AND I AM YOUR MAN
FAR AWAY FROM YOUR LOVE
BUT YOUR ALWAYS ON MY MIND
I PRAY TO BE TOGETHER SOON
YOUR SO LOVING WARM AND KIND
FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN
I HATE TO BOTHER YOU AGAIN
BUT PLEASE HEAR THE HUMBLE PRAYERS
OF THIS HARD WORKING MAN
FAR AWAY FROM YOUR LOVE
BUT YOUR ALWAYS ON MY MIND
I PRAY TO BE TOGETHER SOON
BECAUSE YOUR MY SPECIAL VALENTINE

by John Dawson

I DID NOT HAVE NO CARD NO CANDY
NO ONE TO WALK WITH IN THE PARK
BUT TODAY I SAW SOMETHING
THAT TRULY TOUCHED MY HEART
AN ELDERLY MAN AND A WOMAN
WALKING HAND IN HAND
BOTH OF THEM WERE IN THERE EIGHTIES
LOOKING DAPPER AND GRAND
I COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE... LOVERS
I COULD SEE IT IN THERE EYES
THERE WAS SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT THEM
AS THEY WALKED SIDE BY SIDE
AND IN MY MIND I WAS THINKING
THAT'S THE KIND OF LOVE I WANT TO FIND
A LOVE THAT LAST FOREVER
A LOVE THAT CAN LAST A LIFETIME
