Well the day has arrived
Like it does every year
The city’s painted red
All I see is cheer
Young boys and girls
Ladies with their men
Are falling for each other
All over again
Everyone seems happy
They’re all in a good mood
I am feeling lonely
I ain’t feeling good
Quit reading further
If you’re having a good time
I am going to rant about
Not having a valentine
It’s terrible to be alone
On such a lovely day
I wish I had a sweetheart
To gift her a bouquet
Yesterday I had Molly
I had Peggy Sue
They found out about each other
Now I’m alone and blue
I’m sitting in this bar
Drinking a lonely beer
I’m so glad this day
Comes only once a year

An Angel With Wings
I must have done a lot of wrongs to have lived the life I’ve lived
To have gone through what I’ve gone through
To have been scarred the way I’m scarred
But I believe I must have also done something right
To someone somewhere
To have ended up with you
An angel with wings
The light of your halo keeps me safe
The touch of your hands makes me want to be a better man
Despite all my mistakes
All my faults
God must have smiled upon me
Sent you down for me
From the heavens above
An angel with wings
Now I know I will never be the same
Never be the way I used to be
The beat of my heart has changed
My soul is cleansed
All because of you
For you have come into my life and changed it all
Lifted me from my hole and carried me to the skies
Opened my eyes to what is right and what is not
What is heaven and what is God
The whole universe is in her eyes
An angel with wings
Let Lightning Strike Twice
Tonight I had a feeling when I was with you
It was more than beautiful. It was more than just true
Let me cling on to it for I’ve never felt this way
I really wish this feeling would never go away
For I have felt the lightning
When I look into your eyes
So let me see you again
And let it strike me twice
…
Do I sense the same thing beating in your heart?
You know your love to me is a piece of art
I can hold it forever and never let it go
If you and your heart let me I can even show
How much do I love you
When I look into your eyes
Lightning has struck me once
Let it strike me twice
…
Isn’t this the best moment that we have ever shared?
The moment of letting go the feeling of being scared
And you look so beautiful under the moonlight
It’s like I’m in the midst of an angel of the night
For I have felt the lightning
Known this paradise
Let me hold you always
Feel the lightning twice
Promise Me You’ll Be Mine
Promise me
Say that you’ll be mine
And I
I’ll be yours till the end of time
Look at me
Look me in the eye
And I
I’ll be yours till the end of time
Stay with me
Don’t ever leave my side
And I
I’ll be yours till the end of time
Hold me
Keep me in your light
And I
I’ll be yours till the end of time
Promise me
Say that you’ll be mine
And I
I’ll be yours till the end of time
I Have A Heart Too
I wake up in the middle of the night
With your thoughts in my head
I dream with open eyes
Lying in my bed
It’s strange what love can make you do
I never knew I had a heart too
Food does not interest me anymore
Your thoughts just fill my mind
I stare into the empty distance
I leave my lunch behind
It’s strange what love can make you do
I never knew I had a heart too
I can’t concentrate on work like before
I am supposed to be reading books
The only thing I can read now
Are your eyes and looks
It’s strange what love can make you do
I never knew I had a heart too
My depression days are far and gone
My insomnia days have come
I am not myself anymore
What have I become?
It’s strange what love can make you do
I never knew I had a heart too
Has my head stopped functioning?
I cannot really tell right now
I can feel my heart beating
I think I’m lost somehow
It’s strange what love can make you do
I never knew I had a heart too
A Walking Talking Wonder Of The World
I’ve had my heart broken
So many times that I’ve lost count
I know that you are different
I feel bright when you’re around
So I fold my hands and pray
And I hope that you will stay
And I will give all my love to you
Nothing else that I wanna do
For you’re a walking talking wonder of the world
Not an ordinary girl
A walking talking wonder of the world
…
Every thing that I am seeking
Is kept safe within your heart
When I’m sitting with you
Girl, I never want to part
For you’re a walking talking wonder of the world
Not an ordinary girl
A walking talking wonder of the world
…
I’ve had my heart broken
But you’ve put it back together
I need to be with you
Now and then and forever
It is sad that they can’t see
How beautiful you are to me
Well their loss is my gain
Why then should I complain?
For you’re a walking talking wonder of the world
Not an ordinary girl
A walking talking wonder of the world
A Stupid Man
I met a stupid man today
Full of ego and pride
I tried to avoid him but
He wouldn’t leave my side
He kept staring back at me
With a curious look
Like I was some petty thief
A demon or a crook
I asked him the reason why
But he just wouldn’t say
He asked me the same thing
It continued all day
Then he began arguing
Shouting at me
So I screamed back at him
With no mercy
The argument came to a point
Things went out of place
Things soon became heated
I punched him in the face
It only hurt my knuckles
It’s still bleeding a lot
He was too sharp for me
I hit the wrong spot
I won’t be seeing him again
No stupidity anymore
I’d buy myself a new mirror
Old lays broken on the floor
Saving Love For A Rainy Day
Show me love, show me love
That’s what I told my love
She looked up at the skies above
She’s saving it for a rainy day
…
Be with me, stay with me
Without her I feel lonely
But she doesn’t quite agree
She’s saving love for a rainy day
…
When it’s winter, when it’s spring
Love me for everything
But she doesn’t hear Monsoon sing
So she’s saving all her love
…
Now it has begun to rain
I told her not to abstain
Show me all her lovin’ again
But she didn’t show me love
…
Now I don’t know what to say
She said she didn’t mean it that way
She isn’t literally in any way
Saving her love for a rainy day
…
I wonder if she’ll ever show me
How her love was saved for me
If it will ever come my way
She’s saving love for a rainy day
Saturday Comes Too Early
Well I hate the weekends
Just nothing to do
I keep myself so busy
By drawing a tattoo
I wish I was at work
With a dozen files
That is the only thing
That fills my face with smiles
I wish I was at work
With my colleagues and boss
When they are around
I never feel so lost
But here I am sitting
Wasting a day of my life
With my books, songs, cars
With my children and wife
Saturday comes too early
There’s just nothing to do
No place left on my body
To draw a new tattoo
A Lifetime I Would Wait For Her
A lifetime I would wait for her
Of that I was willing
Now she’s stood me for hours
The wait’s quite killing
I promised I would bring to her
The moon and everything
She said she didn’t want much
Except a diamond ring
A lot of other promises
I had falsely made
She punched me in my right eye
The price is being paid
So all you young girls
And all you young boys
Don’t play with those words of yours
Unlike your little toys
You’d end up just like me
Full of racking scars
On a bright day of January
You’d be seeing stars
