THE TOOING AND FROING

THE TOOING AND FROING

The backwards and forwards

Swinging high and low

Round and round

Like a merry go round

I don’t need a love that

Is in then it is out!

I need a love that shouts

The sky so grey and bleak

The sun trying to take a peek

Oh there is hope in this heart

A heart full of love

Love for the one I love

Oh there is hope for a heart that feels

Hope that this heart never feels free

Captured, enraptured, forever be

Never wanting or needing

This empty, empty feeling

I need a love, a lover

Under cover

Under their spell

To be loved and excel

To shine

To be mine

WE LET EACH OTHER GO

WE LET EACH OTHER GO

I wished and wished it was not so!

There was a real love so true

We both knew

We parted, departed

But in part

We both knew

We both still know

That deep within our love never ceased

We come together with great proceed

To take it slow, real slow

But it is hard to hide or show

The golden glow

This beating heart that has missed your beating heart

Who oh why did we part?

I miss the closeness

Our lovingness

Oh and our chumminess

Those silly, silly banters

That made us canter

Here and there

Without a care

You made that so wished for call

You called, you called

And yet again you had me enthralled

My heart felt so light

So bright

Oh I really hope this turns out right!

A LIFE SO FREE

A LIFE SO FREE

And it’s not just me!

It can be carefree

Singing in the rain

Pouring down the windows panes

Laughing out loud

Screaming out loud

The joy the bliss

Oh never to miss

It’s letting go of those shackles

Letting those hackles go hackle

Stretch, stretch

Never to wretch
