My Star That Fell Out Of Heaven

 

My Star That Fell Out Of Heaven

Searching skies all of my life

And hopelessly in vain

I ached to find that shining star

To make me shine again.

I looked above, I looked below

I looked with all my soul

And never did I find the one

That proved to be my goal.

Until I saw your shining eyes

Your warm glow like the sun

I looked into those dark brown eyes

And knew you were the one.

My heart just fell down at your feet

Like a knight before a queen

And drowned in your magnificence

Like none I'd ever seen.

I could not grasp reality

For I'd thrown my dreams away

But every dream I'd ever had

Became reality that day.

I felt a foolish school boy

There in your presence dear

Stumbling over my own two feet

Whenever you came near.

I tried to think of words to say

To make you feel my joy

To show you I was strong and true

And not just a lovesick boy.

And then you let me touch your hand

Look deep into your eyes

And I saw all that I'd dreamed of

Much to my surprise.

Looking back into my eyes

With yearning of your own

You put my hand upon your heart

And my heart found it's home.

I don't know what I ever did

To deserve someone like you

But if you give this man the chance

I'll prove myself to you.

I'll make you happy the rest of my life

Each cycle of twenty-four/seven

I don't need to search the dark skies anymore

I've found my star that fell out of Heaven.

If All I Can Be Is Yours

 

If All I Can Be Is Yours

 If all I can be is yours

To love, to hold, to cherish dear

What will happen to me then

When I find you no where near?

If all I can be is yours

To live with, play with, work and walk with

What will happen to myself

When I have you not to talk with?

If all I can be is yours

And all I have is yours alone

What will happen to me when

I wake one day to find you gone?

What will happen to me, tell me

I'm just your personal lump of clay

For years I've lain on dusty shelves

Until you decided that you would play

You've molded me and scolded me

And made me what you cared to

You made me wife and ruled my life

Rebel? I never dared to!

Oh, love, oh, husband, can't you see

You made me wife but buried me.

I'm just some property for you to own

So what will happen when you are gone?

Give me some freedom, give me some time

Give me some slack to reel my own line

Give me some caring, give me some air

Give me some hope and something to share.

Come take me down

From my old dusty shelf

Give me your love

But give me myself.
