"Oh, To Be Loved"

The way I look, the things I do you overlook, you have no clue.
Oh, to be loved.
What I know and what I've learned you always act so unconcerned.
On, to be loved.
When I feel bad, when I'm in pain all you do is add to the strain.
Oh, to be loved.
All I feel is loneliness, but you could care less.
Oh, to be loved.

Oh, to be loved, oh, to be cared for - what I long for more and more.
Oh, to be loved, to have someone - relationship begun.

"love Me Now"

You know my heart is shattered and my vision blurred.
Did it ever matter that my life occurred?
Could it have been better? I need some answers please.
But now more than ever I need you next to me.

Love me. Tell me that you do.
And if you do let it be true.

I need to know your love.
I need to feel your love. I need to be assured.
Love me now.

I am feeling helpless, but I don't know what's wrong.
My life's an endless test, but your love makes me strong.
Looking to the past I will find no peace.
Finding you at last - finding love at least.

Love me. Tell me that you do.
And if you do let it be true.

I need to know your love.
I need to feel your love. I need to be assured.
Love me now.

"Bittersweet Rain"

Droplets falling from the sky
Make me stop and wonder why
Couldn't help it if I tried
Sometimes I just want to cry

Darkened clouds they cover me
Even so they help me see
Made me what I've come to be
Water helps the growing tree

April rain, April pain, April fools - they play
April rain, April pain, April fools - they pay

Bittersweet rain giving pain
Bringing change to me
You set me free, you help me see
Bittersweet rain

Lightning flashes, lights my way
Frightens me as it may
Then I start to feel okay
This is not where I should stay

Rain, rain come my way
Give me hope for one more day
With your pain bring in change
O thou bittersweet rain

circa 1992

"Tomorrow"

Tick, tock, the time goes by.
Let's rock, we're up all night.
They mock, but I just sigh.
I'm waiting for tomorrow.

Ring, ding, I don't know what to say.
Let's sing. Words, they are clay.
Gold ring, what do you love today?
I'm waiting for tomorrow.

No more of these playing games.
No more phony yesterdays.
Just a time that's honest and pure.
I'll get there I'm sure - tomorrow.
