CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

Walking in the dark with thoughts of you

The cloud has a touch of grey and fading blue

I have the feeling I will see you

It wasn't a mistake how I meet you

In my heart I was searching for love when I meet you

I have heard people say miracles do happens, so I went in search for one

I can't explain what got into me when I saw you walking on

It’s like all my life I have been waiting for you

Though we were strangers, it felt like i already knew you

And i keep falling in love over and over for you

I am shy admitting I keep getting fond of you

When you smile, it flashes between my eyes and my heart skipped for you

I want you to know that no matter what

I am going to save the whole of my heart for you

Because I can't stop loving you

BY THE RIVER BANK

 

I was running down the river bank
I saw a damsel walking by a mile
She was holding something like a beacon
I could swear she was wearing a smile
I paused for my heart urge me to approach her
I was startled for it's just a moment I met her

The wind whisper something to my ear
Like I would be losing someone irreplaceable and rare
So I lower my guard and embraced her
Held her close to my bosom and kissed her
The sea was calm and the sun smiling
It felt shy for I wasn't sure what I was doing

I went back home unconsciously with a piece of her unbroken
I thought as I slept off, at dawn it would have all been forgotten
But the morning never came calling
For I saw her again in the star smiling
I could feel the pulses that I wasn't out of my mind

So I gave up my feelings not to be lonely anymore for her beauty is divine
I couldn't have gotten her if I had gave up my soul
I let love take its course and my body and mind became whole
I couldn't take my feelings away from the cabin where my heart berth
So it wouldn't drift away, for I have found love so real and right
From a damsel I meet by the river bank

AFTER THE RAIN

After the rain, the wind is full of laughter
The evening wearing a smile
The moon's feeling blue inside
The earth seamlessly grateful
The trees and flowers excited and thankful
Crops wishing the rain not to seize
The day didn't want to let go the joy it brings
But the sky seems to be beautiful
Waiting for the night to embrace the pleasantness of the day
The sun went off for a walk for the day
And the world eased from burdens of the day
