Destiny blew kisses
and for the first time
I'm really in love again
I cannot tell you who, it's a secret
things which I cannot bargain
It's simply sweet
I sure wish you could read
what's in my mind
I know you can't tell
but I'm under a spell
or have you seen the signs?
What a mystery!
I wish you could see
what it feels like
I'm telling the truth
but you're free to choose
whether to stay for the night
Because I'm in love
I cannot tell you who, it's a secret
but I wish you knew

Looking Back

for my daughter and son

I cannot foresee tomorrow.I don't have yesterdays.
Somehow, it feels like I'm living my life in between
the lines of these songs...I'm singing.
Used to have assistance. Now I don't have a clue.
Sometimes I can't even remember or recall telling
anybody...about you.
I'm thinking of my son. God! I can't
remember his face, but I know it'll come
back to me in the distance cause
somehow, some things just cannot be...replaced.
I'm thinking of my daughter. God! How beautiful
she must be. I got no strength to go and see her,
anyway I'm scared that she might be thinking
and missing...just like me. I'm thinking of my country.
The doc said I'm a-thinking too many.
You could get lost wandering alone down here, boy
This ain't a place for chasing...memories.
Thank God for the living. Thank God for the dead.
I don't have many wishes except for disappearing
I sure do wish I could-a...get back ahead.

Stealing Glances

for jane

How can I tell her
that my heart's on fire
Is it love or desire
I'm not really sure
but something's there, I know
I can feel it when you're near
and I know you felt it too
and I know that it's real
The way you look and your glance
its not that hard to understand
Sometimes it just glows
like you're leaving trails for me to follow
and its always a sweetheart like you
that would hurt me so
How should I say it
I dont want to be romantic
I know there's a line we shouldn't cross
but it feels so sweet
and its always a sweet heart like you
that cuts and bleeds....

what about you?
have you been listenin?
what would you say bout'' what''s
on your mind
secrets we shared
sometimes i can feel your needs
but i am here and you are there
and heaven knows the thrill
sometimes i just don''t know what to do
as each day moves, like a journey
and you''d be on my mind
hard to say when love is blind
rainy days and sunshine
you''re stealin'' glances, i''m doin'' it too
it''s sweet, I know but lets push it slow
tomorrow''s gettin''closer towards another day
and we're playing games, like two strangers
caught inside a trance
hard to say or draw a line
out here in no man''s land.
