"If Love Is Real"

"If Love Is Real"


If love is real
Why can't you take love and lock love away
In some safe place
Where you won't lose love and keep love
Each day untouched so warm and near
Where love will stay so pure and clear

The evenings pass
And I wonder where you are sleeping tonight
Are you awake
Running through memories remembering
How good it felt when love took hold
Our future plans that won't unfold

Now days are long
Just patches of time thrown together like clouds
Of empty hours blinded by pictures of places we knew
And now in space I stare
Without your soul and thoughts to share

It all seems lost
Left are just words but without much to say
Cause if love's real
You have to trust and let love go its way

"If Not For You"

"If Not For You"


If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you

If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
You couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you
If not for you

"If We Only Have Love"

"If We Only Have Love"


If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own name
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new word
To our daughters and our sons

Oh, if we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old will stand at our side
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love
To be shared by all men
We will drink from a dram
To be born once again
If we only have love
If we only have love

"If We Try"

"If We Try"


When I see you on the street
I lose my concentration
And just the thought that we might meet
Creates anticipation
Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, I've been thinking about you day and night
And I don't know if it will work out right
But somehow I think that it just might
If we try

Faces come and faces go in circular rotation
But something yearns within to grow
Beyond infatuation
Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, you got me standing deaf and blind
Cause I see love as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find
If we try

You're walking a different direction
From most people I've met
You're giving me signs of affection
I don't usually get
I don't want you to pledge your future
The future's not yours to give
Just stand there a little longer
And let me watch while you live

"If You Can't Be Hurt"

"If You Can't Be Hurt"


If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy
How you gonna laugh if you can't cry
If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy
You can't be happy unless you try

Life is a gamble, it's true
For every highway there's a rocky road, too
And you're gonna stub your toe
Somewhere down the line, yeah
But chalk it up to living
If you can take what this life is giving
That's a very good sign, yeah

Baby, I know you been beat
You've had too much bitter and not enough sweet
But if you tried it with me
Maybe you'll be glad
It's up to you to choose, now
If you want a chance to win or lose
Now don't you play the game scared, yeah

"If You Could Read My Mind"

"If You Could Read My Mind"


If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
when you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The hero often fails
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'll walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Are bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say, I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

"If You Love Me, Let Me Know"

"If You Love Me, Let Me Know"


You came when I was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long I built my world around you
And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay

If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you

The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says "hello, it's good to see you"
Anytime I turn around to find you there

It's this and so much more that make me love you
What else can I do to make you see
You know you have whatever's mine to give you
But a love affair for one can never be

If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Loving you

"In A Station"

"In A Station"


Once I walked through the halls of a station
Someone called your name
In the street I heard children laughing
They all sound the same

One day could you ever know me
Know the reason why I live
Is there nothin you can show me
Life seems so little to give

Once I climbed up the face of a mountain
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me
And I could taste your hair

Isn't everybody dreaming
And the voice I hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel

Once upon a time leaves me empty
Tomorrow never came
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still I don't know you name

Must be some way to repay you
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumor should delay you
Love seems so little to save

"Instrument Of Peace"

"Instrument Of Peace"


Where there is hatred,let me bring love

Where there is doubt, let me bring faith

Where there is falsehood, let me bring truth
Where there is pain, I'll comfort you

Where there is silence, let me sing praise
Where there's despair, let me bring hope

Where there is blindness, let me bring sight
Where there is darkness, let me bring light

And with these words I speak
Grant that I may not so seek
To be heard but to hear
To be consoled but to console,
Not to be seen, but to see
To be loved but to love

For when we give love we will receive

When we forgive love, we'll find reprieve
It is in dying we'll be released
Make me an instrument of peace

"Isn't It Amazing"

"Isn't It Amazing"


Shadows of the past are here again
Bittersweet intentions
Like sunshine in the rain
Secrets still suggested in each step
But there's mercy in the echoes
For all the tears I've wept
And every time I've brushed
Or fallen on my broken pieces I've locked inside

Isn't it Amazing
That the dawn arrives each day
To sweep across the Darkness
With a hope that finds a way
Isn't it Amazing
When every mountain seems so tall
That here I am another day taking on the mystery of it all

So many times I've climbed up on a wall
Just to dwell amongst its ruins
Aching from the fall
Lost within the openness of life
Confound beneath its riches
Courted by its heights

The dark and white in life collide
And grace that I don't understand is here by my side

Isn't it Amazing
That the dawn arrives each day
To sweep across the Darkness
With a hope that finds a way
Isn't it Amazing
When every mountain seems so tall
That here I am another day taking on the mystery of it all

Every moment
All that every day gives
It all comes to this
That love is to live
Another day another day
Another step it's so amazing (Isn't it amazing)
I'm here today
My heart can say
Another day is so Amazing
