When that smile went off your face
And you left us all alone
This Earth became a darker place
But the heavens brightly shone

Could Not Ever Replace You
All the dollars, yen and pounds
The fallen leaves on the ground
Little children playing around
The smiles on their faces too
Could not ever replace you
…
The grumbling of the passing trains
The mess and calm in the rains
The concrete roads, the empty lanes
The blooming flowers’ dew
Could not ever replace you
…
The drudgeries of every day
The tumbling blocks in my way
The hollow words I hear one say
Even if they’re false or true
Could not ever replace you
…
The little tricks of my brain
The nervous signals of my veins
The clothes I wear, the yellow stains
On my soul, so bright and new
Could not ever replace you
…
God and Devil, the demon’s cast
Love and hatred of my past
The angel’s song that may never last
Heaven, Hell, the sky so blue
Could not ever replace you
Little Stones
Once there was a mountain tall
Housing creatures big and small
Fighting wild and gruesome storms
To keep the creatures safe and warm
…
But she could only fight so long
She could only keep so strong
For the waters made a crack
From her breast up to her back
…
The cracks were flooded by the rain
Nothing worked to ease the pain
Though the creatures gave her heart
Slowly, surely she fell apart
…
When she fell, oh how she fell
Everything turned a living hell
The shelter on their heads was gone
Left were only little stones
If I Could Create A Ghost
If
I had the skills
To create a horror ghost
Who would eat up people
Or terrorize at the most
This skill is mine only
Nobody else knows how to
Do anything of the sort
That I could possibly do
Then
I would gladly pass the chance
To never have my name
Remembered by anybody
No fortune and no fame
For what good is an invention
That only does others harm?
I would rather pick up my spade
And go working on my farm
If You Promise To Love Me
If
You promise to love me
Then
I’ll be your left, I’ll be your right
I’ll be your day, I’ll be your night
I’ll be your shadow, I’ll be your light
I’ll be your saviour, I’ll be your knight
I’ll be your treasure, I’ll be your gold
I’ll be your companion when you grow old
I’ll be the story you want to be told
I’ll be the person you would want to hold
I’ll catch you everytime you fall
Nothing can stop us, no brick or wall
I’ll give my heart, I’ll give my all
Each moment will be special, big or small
I’ll be your words, I’ll be your prayer
I’ll be the gentle, playful air
That messes about with your hair
I’ll be the hope, I’ll be the care
I’ll be your blood, I’ll be your skin
I’ll be the heartbeat lost within
I’ll be your defeat, I’ll be your win
Yes, I’ll be your everything
If I See A Shooting Star
If
I see a shooting star
Then
I would make a wish
That nobody ever believes in stuff
Without any scientific basis
If Goats Could Speak German
If
Goats could speak German
Foxes could speak French
Bees delivered sermons
In Bengali to some bench
Snails could speak Spanish
Hyenas could do Hebrew
Elephants trumpet in English
And eels could do that too
Crows were fluent in Chinese
Asbestos in Arabic
Jellyfishes in Japanese
In an accent that’s exotic
Then
Would we have looked at them differently?
If My Dreams Could Fly
If my dreams could fly
And fall into your head
Yes my dreams that I
See lying in my bed
Then, my love, you’d know
How I feel inside
For in my dreams I sow
Seeds of love far and wide
If I Turn Into A Stranger
If
Tomorrow I wake up
Like every day I do
But nobody seems to know me
They all ask me – Who
Ignoring my greetings
They turn away their eyes
I’ve turned into a stranger
Nobody can recognise
My family thinks I’m mad
My friends they shut the door
Everything is the same
Though nothing is like before
Freaky and fantastic
As far as I can see
Nothing between me and the world
Nothing between the world and me
Then
I’ll go back to slumber
My days like that be spent
For nothing’s really changed
Though everything’s different
If I Were A Panther
If I were a panther
Then you would be a panther
We’d be together
If I were President
I’d marry you
You’d be the First Lady
If I were a bee
Then you’d be a flower
We’d be together
If I were a drummer boy
I’d marry you
You’d be a drummer girl
If I were born in another century
I’d travel back in time
Just to be with you
If I were a cloud
I’d float across the sky
To wherever you may be
Whatever the circumstances
Whatever the time
Whatever the situation
We would always end up together
We are meant to be together
