So I guess you heard
That's why you've called
To see if there's anything you can do
It's funny hearing your voice
Cause I was led to believe we would never speak again
I always wondered if I ever crossed your mind
Cause you've sure crossed mine
Time after time
Well, thanks for thinking of me
But it's far too late for you to help me now
(You can't help me now)
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
We all make mistakes
And God knows I've made my share of mine
And like us all, those are mine alone to own
And I'll have to carry them everyday
But my door has been open long before now
And there was no word from you
Until today, but it's far too late now
I'll get through this without you somehow
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
I've never been one to seek attention
And I say it with no smile
But we both know, you've been missing for a long while
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
Back then I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
She said I'll never find anyone who could show me what true love is,
When she took my heart and gave it back to me, in a million pieces,
I didn't believe it, surely no one else could be as cruel as she is,
Then I couldn't see,
The joke's on me,
Told me one day I'll look back and remember what she said,
And only thing left would be to wish that I was dead,
But I was sure there was more life to be,
The joke's on me,
I tried to give her as much love as I could,
And I thought our future would be all it should,
But it was never to be,
The joke's on me,
Time passed by and I saw you there,
Thought you really did care,
Someone could finally set me free,
The joke's on me,
You took my heart,
Don't give in back in a million pieces,
Surely you can't be as cruel as she is,
I'm hoping all the beauty we can see,
The joke's on me,
As I look back and remember what she said,
Those words somehow still ring through my head,
And when I can't shake them, I wish I was dead,
I'm hoping for a better life to be,
The joke's on me,
It's not funny, but I guess I see,
The joke, the joke's on me
You took me somewhere,
Somewhere I've never been
Seven thousand miles
Far from home to me
We've travelled through nations
Lands far and wide
To places without rules
And others that have tried
At times lifes seemed cheap
But I still believe
All should be valued
As we all interweave
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been known to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
Now I believe it's true
Deep inside I always knew
Love is the only thing that can make time stand still
Some of us live in the present,
Others live in the past,
There are those who live in the future,
Hoping that it's gonna last
For I've lived in them all,
At one time or another,
And I wanna be with you,
Just you and no other
The story may not have yet been written
But in my heart I know
I yearn for a happy ending
But I must see how it goes
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been know to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
But I believe it's true
And I always knew
Love is the only thing that can make time stand still
The morning light is still burning bright into the noon
And I'm hoping to be with you again soon
For there are many more lands we could conquer
Many more hours to be
But now I guess that depends upon you
Cause I've given you all of me
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been know to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
But I believe it's true
And I always knew
Love is the only thing that can make time stand still

When I met you
I felt good
The world seemed perfect
As it should
And for me
There was no better place
All I needed each day
Was to see your smiling face
I want you to wrap your love around me
It's been that way since the day that you found me
Time passes by
And things move on
But the one thing I want is to take you home
When I kissed you
The stars lit up the sky
I always dreamed that I could fly
And my biggest fear was losing you
But I didn't think it would happen so soon
I want you to wrap your love around me
It's been that way since the day that you found me
Time passes by
And things move on
But the one thing I want is to take you home
When you went away
I really cried
The stars weren't shining
It was a rainy night
And to me this world seemed such a terrible place
And I couldn't bring a smile to my face
I want you to wrap your love around me
It's been that way since the day that you found me
Time passes by
And things move on
But the one thing I want is to take you home
I didn't hear no music playing
I couldn't see no lights
But I recall the day you came into my life
I didn't feel the thunder and lightning hit me with all its might
I didn't even think I was in your sight
I was still on a lonely road
My last love had left me on
I was still living in a world that had only hurt and done me wrong
Day by day we would meet and I would talk to you
I couldn't see it then but my heart was falling too
Piece by piece it mended
And once again I felt alive
But I didn't know I stood a chance and so I set any hope aside
After all who wants to get their heartbroken again
Especially by a new friend
And I thought that's where we'd end
Oh, accept the end
Just a friend
Look at you
Your all I'd ever need
What I'd give for you to want me
But I can't tell you
I gotta stay cool
Cause I don't wanna lose you
Though my heart you have won
Baby say you'll be the one
Yeah, say you'll be the one
I have to wait for you to give me a sign
That's just the way it is in this day and time
I could tell you how you make me melt all the way to my feet
But you could just think I'm a chauvinist creep
Wonder what my motives are
Think I'm only after something by buying you a drink in a bar
But I don't know how to be a smooth operator
All I want is to see you later
Look at you
Your all I'd ever need
What I'd give for you to want me
But I can't tell you
I gotta stay cool
Cause I don't wanna lose you
Though my heart you have one
Baby say you'll be the one
Yeah, say you'll be the one
So here we are holding hands
I never thought I'd get this far again, but with you I think I'd walk to the other end of the land
I turn to kiss
But you turn your cheek
For now, If that's how it has to be
Then that's how it will be
Cause I don't wanna be the one to let you down
So when you're ready to trust
Just say the word
Cause the music now I've finally heard
And yours is the love that I yearn
Look at you
Your all I'd ever need
What I'd give for you to want me
But I can't tell you
I gotta stay cool
Cause I don't wanna lose you
Though my heart you have one
Baby say you'll be the one
Yeah, say you'll be the one...
Always and forever
I promise to you
We'll never be apart
No one has touched me like you
When I heard those words, it was music to my ears
It gave me a feeling inside
That I hadn't felt in years
Now I just need to make it 24 hours
Am I being Paranoid, or is it reasonable to have my fears
That's what she told me yesterday
And I loved it when yesterday was today
But now it's another day
I wonder if she feels the same
The same today as yesterday
I guess I'll find out either way
Her hand was holding mine
And oh my God, she looked so fine
I'm not one whose time for blasphemy
But her beauty brought me to my knees
And she said she wanted me
Now she's the one holding the key
Only she can set me free
Will she still say the same things to me?
Heavenly father, that's my prayer please
That's what she told me yesterday
And I loved it when yesterday was today
But now it's another day
I wonder if she feels the same
The same today as yesterday
I guess I'll find out either way
There's no reason to doubt her sincerity
It's just I've lost in love before
And don't want her to lose her feelings for me
I know what I'm hoping for
And it lies in those words I heard her say before
And I want to hear them once more
That's what she told me yesterday
And I loved it when yesterday was today
But now it's another day
I wonder if she feels the same
The same today as yesterday
I guess I'll find out today
I own you an apology
I guess the reason you've ended here is largely because of me
I know this isn't easy for you
You need to understand how hard it is for me
But now I finally
Want you to know this isn't where I wanted you to be
I know actions speak louder than words
And I will follow through
But right now, understand what I'm telling you
Cause it's true
Cause one day you'll fly so high
You'll spread your wings and reach the sky
And this I promise
You won't hold back
Everything you dream
Shall become reality
And I'll tell you it's here to last as I look
right into your eyes
And you'll be proud to have me on your side
After all
I know the years have passed on
And because of me you were cold and all alone
I often gave much less than you deserved
Even when all the others let you down
I told you to go back
And get some more
I gave them more than I ever gave to you
Even though I could feel every bit of your pain
Not once did I stop you going back again
So, for that reason
I'm just as much to blame
But someday soon a new dawn will break through
And time will belong to you
Just believe it's true
Cause one day you'll fly so high
You'll spread your wings and reach the sky
And this I promise
You won't hold back
Everything you dream
Shall become reality
And I'll tell you it's here to last as I look
right into your eyes
And you'll be proud to have me on your side
After all
Looking back over the years
I counted every single one of your tears
And though I made so many mistakes
I'm the one you can never shake
Cause I'll be there from the beginning right to the end
So, it's just easier to let me start again
Cause everything I do, belongs to you
And you know it's all true
I'm not lying to you
Cause one day I'll fly so high
I'll spread my wings and reach the sky
And this I promise
I won't hold back
Everything I dream
Shall become reality
And I'll look into the reflective glass
Right into my own eyes
And be proud I was on my side
After all
You said we'd last forever
Though life was hard
We couldn't meet on Valentine's Day
But we still sent cards
It was never going to be a smooth ride
But we'd still give it a try
Now you've left me stranded
All alone to cry
I'll make it easy
So easy for you
You won't see me
Or any trace of what we once knew
I'll just fade into the background
It'll be like we never met
It'll be so easy
So easy for you to forget
Riding home as I do everyday
With the weight of the past still on my shoulders
Looking at my reflection
Reminding me I'm getting older
Took a wrong turn into Langley street
The very place we would first meet
Oh, if I knew then
What I know today
Would I still have loved you anyway
Difficult to say
But anyway
I'll make it easy
So easy for you
You won't see me
Or any trace of what we once knew
I'll just fade into the background
It'll be like we never met
It'll be so easy
So easy for you to forget
It's so easy to pretend we never met
But If only I was more like you I wouldn't have to pretend to forget
So I guess you heard
That's why you've called
To see if there's anything you can do
It's funny hearing your voice
Cause I was led to believe we would never speak again
I always wondered if I ever crossed your mind
Cause you've sure crossed mine
Time after time
Well, thanks for thinking of me
But it's far too late for you to help me now
(You can't help me now)
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
We all make mistakes
And God knows I've made my share of mine
And like us all, those are mine alone to own
And I'll have to carry them everyday
But my door has been open long before now
And there was no word from you
Until today, but it's far too late now
I'll get through this without you somehow
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
I've never been one to seek attention
And I say it with no smile
But we both know, you've been missing for a long while
The day I needed you
Was when you walked away
And said you'd never be back to stay
That's when I needed you
When you gave me reason for hanging on
Cause that's when I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
Back then I loved you
And I believed you loved me too
That's when I needed you
Staying then was what I needed you to do
She said I'll never find anyone who could show me what true love is,
When she took my heart and gave it back to me, in a million pieces,
I didn't believe it, surely no one else could be as cruel as she is,
Then I couldn't see,
The joke's on me,
Told me one day I'll look back and remember what she said,
And only thing left would be to wish that I was dead,
But I was sure there was more life to be,
The joke's on me,
I tried to give her as much love as I could,
And I thought our future would be all it should,
But it was never to be,
The joke's on me,
Time passed by and I saw you there,
Thought you really did care,
Someone could finally set me free,
The joke's on me,
You took my heart,
Don't give in back in a million pieces,
Surely you can't be as cruel as she is,
I'm hoping all the beauty we can see,
The joke's on me,
As I look back and remember what she said,
Those words somehow still ring through my head,
And when I can't shake them, I wish I was dead,
I'm hoping for a better life to be,
The joke's on me,
It's not funny, but I guess I see,
The joke, the joke's on me
You took me somewhere,
Somewhere I've never been
Seven thousand miles
Far from home to me
We've travelled through nations
Lands far and wide
To places without rules
And others that have tried
At times lifes seemed cheap
But I still believe
All should be valued
As we all interweave
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been known to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
Now I believe it's true
Deep inside I always knew
Love is the only thing that can make time stand still
Some of us live in the present,
Others live in the past,
There are those who live in the future,
Hoping that it's gonna last
For I've lived in them all,
At one time or another,
And I wanna be with you,
Just you and no other
The story may not have yet been written
But in my heart I know
I yearn for a happy ending
But I must see how it goes
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been know to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
But I believe it's true
And I always knew
Love is the only thing that can make time stand still
The morning light is still burning bright into the noon
And I'm hoping to be with you again soon
For there are many more lands we could conquer
Many more hours to be
But now I guess that depends upon you
Cause I've given you all of me
Time waits for no man, woman or child
Nature won't ever stop growing forever wild
But love has been know to stop time in its tracks
For all we've ever achieved
And all that we lack
But I believe it's true
And I always knew

I have been writing lyrics, poems and stories since 2017, having entered poetry and songwriting contests, and I got pleasant results recently. I've also been hosting my own personal blog for a year now and it's going nicely too, though very much still a work in progress. I am very passionate about all my writing and wish to work with others who are just as passionate, including musicains who want to put tunes to my words, or great singers who feel they can do them justice as well.
In addition to writing song lyrics, poetry and stories, I've also experience of radio presenting, video editing, film editing, music production, budget management, business development research, sales and customer service.
