Love Knows Everyone says it is wrong like they know about love  But love is that melody that sounds beyond its chords It is that glow that follows the stars that in Heaven move It is the passion that romance always affords. And you are the Rose that perpetually lives That no season can such beauty transcend But even in winter’s clime its radiance gives And to it coldest days its warmth lend. You are the Robin that in every clime sing That when summer ends find its purpose here For when the days grow short your song bring So that in the darkest days you bring them cheer. You are the rainbow that stays after the rain has gone So, when the sun shines, I still see your brilliance And in a day like this I know I truly belong The one in which I bask in our romance. So, it may be wrong these feelings to bare But then question love’s purpose and grace All I know is that I feel you everywhere And when I dream you take an angel’s place.

Better Angel  I saw this woman and to her spirit did succumb  She made me believe that my heart was good And whatever problems I could still overcome  Because the goodness of my heart understood.  Now I hear that she is troubled by her own strife And this for one so sweet cannot be Not for one that showed me purpose in life  Now I am the one that her goodness can see. We are far apart, distance is in our way And maybe our paths will no longer meet But I know a woman from such beauty cannot stray That no troubles or sadness can ever defeat. And as the Rose her beauty lets the world know  That the rough winds her petals can shake and fall When the next spring comes again will grow And to the world again her splendor will call. And as the Robin het melody sweetly sings Though the winter ushers it coldly away  Soon the next season her song still brings For such music from the world can never stray. So, I know that no darkness from her light can lure For her radiance in this place is too strong And it could never snuff out a light so pure But to the better angels of our world belong. 

Summer Night Sitting here on a summer night with the music playing Finally finding a melody and some peace My soul this season is sweetly serenading So easily my troubles now ease. The long has been long and winding, I know So, I better enjoy these moments tonight What better way than happy lines to show While the stars shine on high so bright. And where there is life hope is still alive No matter how difficult it may seem to be But nothing more than what these keys strive To express the happiness where I am free. If love finds me again, I will have to defer To some woman yet to come my way But my feelings tonight cannot deter This will have to wait for another day. Love in my heart will always live Whether happily gained or sadly lost But I will always have mine to give For I have already paid its cost. I listen to the sounds of the night around All I need do is let them in Soon, I will learn serenity found Letting this summer night my heart win. From my burdens I can escape in the moonlight That basks the night in starry romance I can almost see that woman in my sight Tonight, we would let love have a chance. And the music is playing, and all is good This season soothing, this should be all I care The melody to move me, enough understood Unless I turned and you were there. Do you read these lines and know I speak of you? Let me know what you think Let me know love is still true That the night from your beauty does drink. That is why this time is so good and tranquil Because I am trying to reach you with a line And with each one my longing here spill Until you reach out and tell me you are mine. Until then the time I have now will enjoy  Letting the sounds of the night my senses succumb Only equaled that day you bring me joy That day that this world with your beauty come.  So, here I sit and enjoy this splendor  While the melody my mind sooths A perfect time for our longing to surrender  To a summer night that our love moves.
