Charlie Williams

~ Frank Solanki ~ 83 Comments

My girl is a sweet heart

Her love for me is true

But when she met Charlie Williams

She said, “He’s better than you.”

…

Charlie’s got the riches

He has nailed the looks

He’s witty and intelligent

He reads all sorts of books

…

Charlie’s got the finest clothes

Drives around in a fancy car

“He’s got the perfect smile,” she says

“And he even plays the guitar”

…

My girl’s going out with him

They look happy together too

I ain’t one bit jealous

I ain’t feeling blue

…

Now Charlie, you may not know me

But I’ve got some words for you

Better kill all finer men

Or she will leave you too

Castles In The Air

~ Frank Solanki ~ 54 Comments

I had a thought. I had a dream. I had no worldly care
So I built for my own self some castles in the air
Tendered it with love. Shielded it night and day
A gust of wind came and blew my castles away

How Much Do I Love You?

~ Frank Solanki ~ 43 Comments

How much do I love you?

Let me count the ways

I love you truer than true

Bluer than the ocean blue

Bluer than the skies of days

How much do I love you?

Let me give you a clue

My heart plays. My head obeys

I love you truer than true

Like only I could do

It’s more than just a passing phase

How much do I love you?

Enough to last a lifetimes few

A love that never ever strays

I love you truer than true

And I hope you love me too

For my love never decays

How much do I love you?

I love you truer than true

A Friend For Life

~ Frank Solanki ~ 65 Comments

I never had a family
No friends or children or wife
Then I looked deep inside
And I found a friend for life
I never had a God
No faith, religion or belief
Then I found deep inside
A hope to fight my grief
I never had anything
That’s what I always thought
But I am all I need
I am all I’ve got

God’s Favourite Child

~ Frank Solanki ~ 33 Comments

Paint it on my death bed

Paint it on my forehead

Paint it anywhere you want

Paint it as I’ve said

He handled my affairs

I’ve had my share of care

I know He always listened

He always answered my prayers

Keep me safe from harm

Keep me safe and warm

Call me in your tender home

Call me in your arms

He freed me from my chains

Kept me from sin and men

Pulled me through the darkest nights

So I’ll sing again

Paint it on my death bed

Paint it on my forehead

Paint it anywhere you want

Paint it as I’ve said

Into A River I Plunged My Soul – Part 2

Into a river I plunged my soul
Naked and neck-deep
The strong tides made me lose control
And away she did sweep

Birthdays Are A Farce

~ Frank Solanki ~ 65 Comments

Birthdays are like marriages

You smile and celebrate

While you know the victim

Has just lost his fate

For suffering is dense

And happiness is sparse

Birthdays are like marriages

Birthdays are a farce

Truth will destroy me once again

I Wish I Was A Better Man

~ Frank Solanki ~ 123 Comments

I wish I was a drop of rain

Falling down on earth

When I die I’ll feel no pain

For all that I was worth

…

I wish I was a little bird

With wings to soar the sky

Every morning I’ll be heard

As I sing and fly

…

I wish I was a better man

With no sin against my name

For I won’t be praying then

To help me heal my shame

A Storm Passed Me By

~ Frank Solanki ~ 55 Comments

A storm passed me by
Left me hurt and wounded
Yet I sang my song
For love still remained
A storm passed me by
Left me empty-handed
Yet I sang a song
For love still remained
Now no matter what storm passes
I will sing my song
There’s nothing more to lose
Love remains
