this simple madness
through complex actions
the thread so lost and overdue
the message isn't coming through
this end of the world
that never came
can we return to where it all began
and find it's still the same
where it all began
the big bang
the end of the innocence
the song we sang
where it all began
and life was done
the moment you said we were no no more
i began... living on the run
it was a time before we knew the life that modern humans live
free of the fears that condemn people to take more than they give
it was a way that children know but somehow they learn to forget
and wonder why the they left behind the one true love
and replaced it with regret
and every moment was magic that felt forever
and every time we touch the universe would sing
as in your eyes my love was born and in your heart my love would live
beyond the end of time no matter what a life time would bring
and now those days are memories that always live inside my heart
and in those moments deep inside we know we'll never be apart
if fantasy is all this is then fantasy is what life shall be
for nothing has ever come close to what you still mean to me
you mean everything to me
this simple madness
through complex actions
the thread so lost and overdue
the message is still coming through
this end of the world
that never came
we can return to where it all began
inside it's still the same
where it all began
the big bang
the end of the innocence
the song we sang
where it all began
and life was done
you never said goodbye you know
we just began... living on the run
to fit in to the human life
grown up and responible
we just had to give up the life
that was so beautiful
the innocence of love is still
alive somewhere inside
and no matter what life may bring
our song still sings inside
our song has never lied
our love has never died
where it all began
whatever we've become
we will always know the love inside
even living on the run
where it all began
whatever we have done
we will always be in love inside
inside we know... we've only just begun
are you a memory?
are you a fantasy?
are you anyone remotely related to this life i know
do you even know me?
can our love ever be?
am i a fool to think you'd ever come to never let me go?
somewhere in my dreams i see your face
somewhere in my heart i feel the rhythm of your soul
somewhere in my life you took first place
and returning to you has been my only lifelong goal
i want to sing to you again
nothing's more true
the sweetest melody
the perfect harmony
the wonder of a love so pure it lives beyond the end of time
beyond eternity
beyond infinity
beyond any explanation we are the quintessential rhyme
as two people are one in some way life can't explain
we are as real as anything as if we share one brain
we live the magic moment every fairy tale dreams of
the passion and the potion of the first and only love
i may want to be in love again
do i let myself desire
come on baby light my fire
do i raise the stakes
beyond all heartbreaks
to the pain
and then i wrote
silly serious secure guy
who is anything but normal
tolerates humanity
most days
flipping between
wanting to hitch a ride
off this planet
to wanting to
save the world
but sometimes wondering why
(endless hope sprinkled with lots of cynicism, or vice versa)
too complex for those who won't really listen,
too simple for those who do...
still looking for my 42.
you fit me
and i fit you
in ways words can not describe...
and i raise the stakes
beyond all heartbreaks
to the pain
everywhere i look i see the empty eyes
and no surprise
everywhere i go i find the vast unwise
and no surprise
it is unfinished.
and if nobody read
and if nobody hears
does the song exist
do the feelings
do i?
and if nobody reads
and if nobody hears
what is really missed
are there feelings
am i?
are you
my 42?
too complex for those who won't really listen,
too simple for those who do...
still looking for my 42.
i take the phone with me when i walk the dog
hoping i will hear it ring
i live a lonely life these days
all about me, that's why i sing
maybe you will hear me
maybe you will care
maybe you will come near me
maybe you will share
i take the phone with me when i take a shower
hoping i will hear it ring
i am tired of living alone
only with me, that's why i sing
maybe you will hear me
maybe you will care
maybe you will come near me
maybe you will share
believing in love
wanting to be in love
living alone
living with the phone
believing in life
wanting to be a wife
out on my own
making it on my own
i take the phone with me when i go to movies
hoping i will feel it ring
yes i go to the movies by myself
all by myself, just hoping
maybe you will hear me
maybe you will care
maybe you will come near me
maybe you will share
i take keep the phone with me when i watch tv
hoping i will hear it ring
does this sound familiar?
is this a song you can sing
maybe you will hear me
maybe you will care
maybe you will come near me
maybe you will share
believing in love
wanting to be in love
living alone
living with the phone
believing in love
wanting to be in love
out on my own
making it on my own
the phone sits on my chest as i sleep
dreaming it will wake me
dreaming it will take me
to falling in love
believing in love
wanting to be in love
living alone
living with the phone
there was a time when i inspired people
when i heard the words thank you many times a day
there was a time when i admired people
when i said the words thank you many times a day
there was a time when i invigorated people
when i heard the word yes many times a day
there was a time when i amazed people
when i heard the word wow many times a day
there was a time
people used to come to me for help and advice
there was a time
people used to gather round to hear my song
there was a time
people used to always want to be around me
there was a time
people used to tell me that i could do no wrong
i must have disappointed a lot of people
i must have lost my touch, my edge, my force
people and i used to have such a perfect marriage
but somehow people and i have gotten a divorce
there was a time people and i loved each other
there was a time people and i were best of friends
there was a time people and i were sisters and brothers
there was a time people and i knew love had no ends
there was a time
love was all around me
there was a time
everyone was my friend
there was a time
love always found me
there was a time
love had no end
once you know a time like that
you can't go back to any other time
once you know a time like that
you know the meaning of sublime
there was a time
love was all around me
there was a time
everyone was my friend
there was a time
love always found me
there was a time
love had no end
and what i want most in this world
is for that time to come again
and what i want most in this world
is for that time to come again
would you laugh at me if i told you how much i miss you?
would you be surprised if i told you how much i care?
would you be concerned of offended
if i told you i'm sad that it ended
and i'm jealous of those with whom you now share?
say goodbye
no no i never ever say goodbye
say farewell
no no i never ever say farewell
say adieu
not to you
it just won't happen
and i'm not rappin
it is not just a rhyme
i will be here for you
beyond the end of time
would you laugh if i told you how much i love you?
would you be surprised if i told you how important you are to me?
would you be uncomfortable
if i always called you beautiful
living with you was a dream and now i am left with only fantasy
say goodbye
no no i never ever say goodbye
say farewell
no no i never ever say farewell
say adieu
not to you
it just won't happen
and i'm not rappin
it is not just a rhyme
i will be here for you
beyond the end of time
would you take me seriously
if i opened my heart completely
and gave you ever key
to every secret there ever was in me
would you feel it was too much
for us to always be in touch
like a sing that never ends
can we always be best friends
for the bottom line is what i want most is your happiness
and if that is somewhere far away, then i'll adjust i guess
you are someone who can melt my heart and also own my mind
and there is no good reason to leave a friend like me behind
i give you the truest heart you'll ever find
but don't just stay in touch to be kind
would you laugh at me if i told you how much i miss you?
would you be surprised if i told you how much i care?
would you be concerned of offended
if i told you i'm sad that it ended
and truth is i will accept anything you want to share?
for i just want to know you are happy
even if you are not here
say goodbye
no no i never ever say goodbye
say farewell
no no i never ever say farewell
say adieu
not to you
it just won't happen
and i'm not rappin
it is not just a rhyme
i will be here for you
beyond the end of time
i will be here for you
my friend
beyond the end of time
i will be here for you
my friend
beyond the end of time
a long time ago i fell in love
and i am still in love with that girl
the hunger to love has never diminished
it is my reason for being in this world
over and over i've fallen in love
but only a few times i tried
i never wanted the relationships to end
and i never said goodbye
but i'm still looking for the one
who will never leave
i'm still looking for the one
who will understand why i grieve
every love that has ever come before
for love should never come to an end
every love is part of every love
fall in love with that my friend
and you might understand me
and you might be the one
my love is never ending
and we've only just begun
over and over i've fallen in love
but only a few times i tried
i never wanted the relationships to end
and i never said goodbye
but i'm still looking for the one
who will never leave
i'm still looking for the one
who truly believes
that love is forever
eternal, infinite
love is everywhere
we are all part of it
love is amazing
the reason we live
the meaning of life
the best we can give
and i'm still looking for the one
who is my best friend
i'm still looking for the one
who knows love without end
and i'm still looking for the one
who loves the way i do
i'm still looking for the one
should i look at you?
it is so easy to lament
the love that came before
when one is alone
wondering
will love come once more
no one can predict
the love that yet may come
when one is alone
oh
it is so easy to be numb
but once in love...
there is no going back
the heart and mind
can only have one track
there is no forgetting
the bliss that love brings
even deep in loneliness,
eternal hope springs
once in love... always in love
once in love... always in love
(testify)
even as i remember how much i miss the sharing
even as i remember how much i want the caring
even as i remember how sad it feels to lose romance
i can still remember that i live to take the chance
to fall in love again... to share the dance
but once in love...
there is no going back
the heart and mind
can only have one track
there is no forgetting
the bliss that love brings
even deep in loneliness,
eternal hope springs
once in love... always in love
once in love... always in love
(affirm)
i will love myself in every way
i will be ready for the next day
that love comes to stay
this love song will play
but once in love...
there is no going back
the heart and mind
can only have one track
there is no forgetting
the bliss that love brings
even deep in loneliness,
eternal hope springs
once in love... always in love
once in love... always in love
did you want me to forget
let you go
leave you alone
i don't know
it's been years
lives apart
and yet you still
live in my heart
what did you expect
after all
you knew me best
how i fall
never ends
love is real
never ends
how it feels
maybe you can turn it on and off like some people do
maybe you never really understood or knew
the true power of love and unconditional trust
maybe all it ever was was momentary lust
how hard can a human heart get
how lost can the human mind become
how much can the human being forget
how must time is wasted, numb
what did you really want
the easy way out
to please others
is that what life's about
and what of your deepest
hopes, wishes, and dreams
did you let them die
are they never as they seem
what did you expect
after all
you knew me best
how i fall
never ends
love is real
never ends
how it feels
never ends
one more time
one more time
one more time
did you forget that there is always one more time?
guess you didn’t believe me
when I promised forever
guess I’m kind of like a stalker now
believing we belong together
but isn’t that love
and isn’t that truth
the kind we dream of
as innocent youth
the kind of love they write fairy tales about
well this fairy tale is real beyond a doubt
and you know it’s there inside you
even if you never let it out
it has been so long
since I looked into eyes
that adored me
it has been so long
since I found a secret smile
that was for me
it has been so long
since I found myself in love
with someone who was in love
with me
it has been so long
since the promise was something
I could see
the promise of love
to last forever
to always be there
to share everything
the promise of love
beyond the treasure
the endless love song
we’ll always sing
the promise of love
the final answer
the promise of hope
that never fails
the promise of truth
that’s never hidden
the promise of trust
the holy grail
unconditional
the ultimate wind
sought by every sail
the promise of love
beyond the infinite
there’s perfect faith in it
beyond belief
the promise of love
words cannot express it
hearts cannot confess it
it is relief
the promise of love
the deepest reason
the promise of hope
that’s always new
the promise of truth
to understand the plan
the promise of trust
that’s always true
all my life
I’ve searched for someone like you
all my life
I promised that I’d be true
every song I sing
and everything I do
all my life
I wonder if you ever knew
how much… I love you
all my life
you were the dream in my eyes
all my life
it should come as no surprise
every bell I hear
every smile I wear
all my life
what always carried me through
was how much… I love you
the darkest hours
the crushing blows
the meanest pains
the cruelest foes
the horror story
that no one knows
no matter the trial that tried me
there was always a light to guide me
there was always this love inside me
out of the blue
a promise to love forever
you always helped me remember
the beauty of love me tender
love me true
the gift you gave still gives me every clue
the riddle of life resolved
in how much… I love you
all my life
is how much I love you
all my life
is how much I love you
all my life
and everything I do
all my life
is how much… I love you
I love you
I love you
whispered: (I love you)
living the song
living the memory
in one part harmony
you've got a line or two
out of place
and memories
of your face
are calling me
she's calling me
back
cuz i'm living the song
living the song
musical comedy
hiding a tragedy
the moment i saw you
somehow i knew
you'd bring me back to her
first of december
cold rain and shivers
your song delivers
did you know
are you calling me
back
to living the song
and living the memory
in one part harmony
there's a look in your eyes
calling me (out of place)
a message in your smile
calling me (and your face)
is calling me
you're calling me
back
cuz i'm living the song
living the song
are you my destiny
or just a fantasy
living the song
living the memory
in one part harmony
your voice is calling me
calling me
calling me
I left my heart in your hands
oh so many years ago
and I may be called a fool
to still be so attracted
to your face, it was love
at first site and heaven knows
it never ends unless it pretends
but the truth between friends
is when it’s true love
true love always grows
the first moment I saw you
I lost control of my heart
I was made to adore you
you took my mind apart
and every piece of my being
became putty in your hands
after all these years
did you ever understand?
you gave me away
I did your bidding
you wanted me back
but were you kidding?
it became to intense
as lies always do
and I lost everything
the moment I lost you
I left my soul in your hands
and there it still remains
did you ever really know?
did you ever want me again?
and I may be called a fool
to still be so attracted
to your face, it was love
at first site and heaven knows
it never ends unless it pretends
but the truth between friends
is when it’s true love
true love always grows
the first moment I saw you
I lost control of my heart
I was made to adore you
you took my mind apart
and every piece of my being
became putty in your hands
after all these years
did you ever understand?
i looked into your eyes
and saw beauty deep within
was it all in my mind
or the ultimate win
did i really touch you?
all i know is i still feel
and believe you are the one
and it doesn't change with time
from the first look till now
it's as if the feeling has just begun
so I may be called a fool
to still be so attracted
to your face, it was love
at first site and heaven knows
it never ends unless it pretends
but the truth between friends
is when it’s true love
true love always grows
it was true love for me
but what it was for you
heaven knows
how many songs have said these simple words
how many ways have poets prosed the sentiment
how many times have human hearts felt the same, it's so absurd
to think the mind could deny what the words meant
you'd think a heart could be made of stone and a head filled with cement
there is no end
to love
my friends
there is no end
unless
your heart pretends
there is no end
to love
there is no defence
for anyone to claim
that love could end
there is no end
to love
my friends
confuse yourself with possessive passion or control
let greed devour your senses if power is your goal
develop rational constructs to dessimate your soul
but you can't change the truth no matter what unfolds
it's still the greatest story ever told
there is no end
to love
my friends
there is no end
unless
your heart pretends
there is no end
to love
there is no defence
for anyone to claim
that love could end
there is no end
to love
my friends
innocence and trust are the most powerful forces
in this life, in this universe
at the core of love you find infinite resources
accept the blessing, reject the curse
realize that if you empower fear you undo the will
that creates life, whatever you may call
your holy revelation and ultimate saving thrill
you only experience when you fall
in love and give your all
unconditional faith beyond reason
you can touch it when you fall
in love and give it your all
the end of delusion
the end of confusion
the end of refusing
the end of fearful abusing
the infinite eternal experience
every human heart one day dreams of
beyond anything our minds can imagine
the heart understands the passion
of the calling of the falling
of the seeing of the freeing
feeling of just being in love
just let yourself start believing
and you will start receiving
the freeing of being in love
many years ago
or just a moment in time
it is all just a matter of perpective
you were everything
the only reason for my rhyme
the primary purpose for the life i live
and no matter what
the devotion is real
and no matter when
this is the way i feel
and no matter how
beyond any doubt
this is the truth
and what life is all about
once upon a time
magic moments filled the air
and the sunshine of my life beamed out of you
the love does not end
even if you do not care
you can not change my heart where my love is true
and no matter what
the devotion remains
and no matter when
life exists in brains
and no matter how
this is reality
this is the truth
you are a fantasy
as if i did not know
you are a fantasy
and no matter what
you will live in me
someday somehow
someone will share with me
this magic moment
in reality
and until then
this is where i will be
as if i did not know
you are a fantasy
someday somehow
someone will share with me
this magic moment
in reality
and until then
this love will always be
as if i did not know
you are a fantasy
sometimes I let myself sleep through it
sometimes there come nights like this
when I let the feelings rise through me
and I let myself reminisce
and I wish you could know the wonder I feel
the peace of knowing love so true
for no matter what or where we’ve been
I’m still in love with you
I’ve learned through the years that a heart can love many
that true love does not diminish when it is not shared
and when the pain of separation would come around
all I need to do is remember how much we cared
and as the years passed I accepted your choices
to leave me out of your life and family
but that does not change the inner voices
and you will always sing inside of me
and I wish you could know the wonder I feel
the peace of knowing love so true
for no matter what or where we’ve been
I’m still in love with you
and rare is the one who can embrace a heart as true as mine
for she has to love you and everyone I ever loved
and there have been a few others who could reach the divine
embrace of innocent passion that every heart dreams of
and as he years passed I accepted the reasons
people leave me out of their lives and families
for I will not allow pretend or limitations
in my heart there will be no conformity
and I wish you could know the wonder I feel
the peace of knowing love so true
for no matter what or where we’ve been
I’m still in love with you
anyone I’ve ever loved is welcome back
for an end to love is one thing I lack
I’m not interested in normal or propriety
true love is the only reason for living for me
and I wish you all could know the wonder I feel
the peace of knowing love so true
for no matter what or where we’ve been
I’m still in love with you
I’ll always be in love with you
is it madness to be true
to the promise i gave you
is it sickness to be sad
over what we might have had
is there something not quite right
with not wanting someone new
am i doing something wrong
to still feel in love with you
how many days must go by
before it becomes an obsession
how many nights must one cry
before it becomes a life lesson
how many weeks, many months, many years
how many wishes on first stars, how many midnight tears
how many prayers must go unanswered, pleas falling on deaf ears
before it's too long to be wanting you - what is the greater fear
being called a fool or madman -
or believing that love can just/simply disappear
is it fantasy to be
this true to this dream in me
is it harmful to be missing
the feel of your lips kissing
is there something not quite good
or am i just misunderstood
tell me what makes true love true
once i thought we knew...
once we swore we knew...
how many times must a heart beat
before it can let go
how many times must a heart break
before the mind must know
how many weeks, many months, many years
how many wishes upon first stars, how many midnight tears
how many unanswered prayers, pleas falling on deaf ears
before it's too long to be wanting you - what is the greater fear
being called a fool or madman -
or believing that you want me to just/simply... disappear
i'd never want you to know this if it doesn't please you
or if my loving you is something you don't want me to do
this is as close as i'll come to your life unless you say
you want me to share more with you today
want me to be in your life today
right or wrong i dream
to be in your life today
i can stay away if you want me to
and i may be a fool or madman but one thing is clear
but i can't believe (i won't believe) that love can just/simply disappear
love cannot, love does not just/simply disappear
once it was all for you and you knew oh you knew how could you not be sure everything i did lead me to your door every chance i’d get i would run to you and in your arms my love was true in your arms my dreams came true everything i did the life i lived it was all for you
now i smile when i heard your name and though i’ve loved others in this life nothing since has been the same you should have been my wife
does that mean i am destined to fail at love? that can’t be true i live to love, am i destined to fail at love when i’m not with you?
once it was all for you…
do i have to face a cold hard truth have i sabotaged love in my youth am i too much a perfectionist that i won’t let go of what i missed
once it was all for you and you knew oh you knew how could you not be sure everything i did lead me to your door every chance i’d get i would run to you and in your arms my love was true in your arms my dreams came true everything i did the life i lived it was all for you
does that mean i am destined to fail at love? that can’t be true i live to love, it is what i do my dream is to share love this true in everything i do, so it can’t be true am i destined to fail at love when i’m not with you?
no no no no, say that’s not so i want to love again i need to love again i want to feel this love so real this everything i want to sing to someone you or someone new
it is all for you and you know oh you know how could you not be sure everything i do leads me to your door every chance i get i run to you to be in your arms where my love is true in your arms my dreams come true everything i do my whole life through it is all for you all for you

it is today and yesterday is a million miles away ten billion years a moment in our love
it is today what can i say i still feel the same way a trillion tears cannot wash away love
it is today and i can still feel the cold rain stinging my face right here and now memory is something that nothing can replace lost in your eyes as if we can pretend there is a shadow of doubt i am still there lost in your eyes and i will never get out
lost in your eyes the moment i saw you i knew it was the end lost in your eyes i'd do anything for you to be anything for you if we could always be friends
lost in your eyes i found the secret that everyone else calls divine lost in your eyes is where i find myself every time i close mine
and it is today the music plays for true love that always stays infinite fears cannot deter this love
it is today beyond the fray for what all the people pray we have right here a moment in our love
it is today and i can see see the glow of my eyes in yours right here and now memory cannot be contained by walls or doors lost in your eyes i found every secret answer to my fantasy and there i am lost in your eyes for all eternity
lost in your eyes the moment i saw you i knew it was the end lost in your eyes i'd do anything for you to be anything for you if we could always be friends
lost in your eyes i found the secret that everyone else calls divine lost in your eyes is where i find myself every time i close mine
lost in your eyes the only place i know i am free lost in your eyes the only place i ever found me
