DON'T TELL ME YOU LOVE ME

Don't tell me you love me, but show me that you care

If I am walking through a valley, will I find you near?

It's not that I am scared of my heart been broken

I needed someone to catch me if someday the world's falling

I long for a star on my cloud, someone out there who cares

Someone to hold my hands and help me overcome my fears

All through life I carry in me a heart that's lost and lonely

In your arms I dreamt of a future that's sunny

Don’t tell me you love me, show me in your heart that you care

If you got a call that I am dying, will you visit to wish me well

The world is so huge yet difficult to find true love

Do you have a feeling in your heart that's pure and as calm as a dove?

All I have ever long for is a shoulder I can lean on

Someone to love me for whom I am and leave in my heart a song

Please don't tell me you love me but hold me till my heart bleeds no more

For a caring and loving heart is all I am asking for

WHEN I DIE

I wouldn't blame the government for abandoning me

I wouldn't blame the society for betraying me

I will not judge you for not believing in me

I will not blame you for breaking your promises

As I journey into God's hand, know that I have forgiven you

I truly understood the burden you had to carry and the reason too

I am going to miss the world, friends and neighbors

I regret not able to impact the lives suffering on the street in stance

I regret for I would no longer be around to hug you as did in the past

The sun is still shining on us all; I hope you see the direction of light

Don't let the struggle of our heroes past and present be in vain

For we all going to path ways someday and leave memories of our lives cropped behind

I had a good life; angels are so anxious my hands to hold

As I am anxious to hold yours in heaven above someday

Please don't beat yourself up but promise me this day

You will live a better life than did you yesterday

That you will not clot your heart and die in dismay

WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP

I watched you asleep for a while

I never knew you were an angel in disguise

No wonder I have been emotionally in love with you

My heart tingles excitedly anytime I am around you

I will be lost in this world

If you are not there to make it rain

You gave me everything I thought one could never have

For hours I stare and counted the stars

Out of billions of stars up in the sky

Your beauty is the brightest of them all
