SEEKING FOR YOUR LOVE

Last night I said a prayer and asked God for a wish

Out of everything in the world it’s you I seek

When its morning your smile and hugs I urge to feel

It was lonely all through July for your love forever I seek

I missed your love and the feelings I can't let go

Without you in my life, my night will be cold

My love for you is forever strong, for you it can't let go

Every moment spent with you made the sky beautiful

If tomorrow I wake up and can't find you

The rest of my life will be miserable

Without you my morning will have no dew

And my heart will be discontent and awful

In my afterlife I will love you still

If the world come crashing, I will search for you still

Seeking for your love my heart to heal

Memories of joy, love and laughter to fill

I will hug you in my dreams and never let you of my sight

Kiss the moon in your eyes as you made my life right

I would stay up late for you all through the night

To catch a glimpse of you coming tonight

Every day I will watch the sun raising maybe it will warm my heart

For my heart is cold of lonely nights without you

You are like the stars, in my life the beauty it light

For life will never be the same without you

THE MEMORIES WE KEEP

A man's heart is filled with memories

Memories we don’t want to sacrifice

Thoughts that are part of life we want to keep forever

The beauty of time spent with a love one having dinner

The love shared with someone without hope and in need

The pictures of the time spent growing up on the field

The sacrifices a mother made for a child

The love of a father working so hard every day for families to feed

Sometimes when the night stays a little bit longer

It is these memories that give us hope that tomorrow will be better

Our hearts might have been broken not once

We are made strong because we have someone out there we can trust

The choices and decisions we made out of life make us stronger

We risk our joy by putting our fate in a complete stranger

The hard times when we thought we have no one to count on

Memories of the time we spent with friends, fought, break up and made up

This memory keeps life going each day

It’s what keeps us strong whenever we have a bad day

It's the string that lifts a man spirit high

A man is lost without memories to remember him by

It's what reminds us of our birthright

And the director that guides our future

IT TAKES TWO

It takes two to judge what is wrong or right
It takes two for a relationship work out
It takes two to express our feelings inside
It takes two to have our feelings hurt inside
It takes two to need a push in life to lift the spirit up
It takes two to argue, to settle a quarrel and make up
It takes two to plan a family for the future
It takes two to share our knowledge and culture

It takes two to fall in love and have someone to believe in 
It takes two to make our world a better place to live in
It takes two to learn to speak a language 
It takes two to save the world from outrage
It takes two to understand the importance of a true friend
It takes two to make the world go round without end
It takes two... me and you
