I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU



I like it sometimes when you tell me a story
Do you remember when we first met?
You where every reason I always wanted to stay up late
Because I love spending time with you
With my eyes close I can give you my hands, walk with you and still be safe

I used to overhear people say that angels are beautiful
That’s exactly the way I feeling being around you
Spending the night with you seem the day will never come
Can you go to the window right now and look up at the sky
Did you notice a star that is shining brighter tonight?

And the sky wearing a beautiful smile waving at you
It's me reminding you that I will always be close to you
I care and will be watching over you all through the night
I rarely worry about tomorrow because I've got you
That’s the best thing that could ever happened to me

I still haven't figured out what has gotten into me
To love this much about you, but I am happy about it
It's hard not missing a day without you
Have you thought of practicing a speech you want to present in a board meeting?
Going through series of training to be the best on the pitch

Read daily to score high in the last semester exam
Wake up early every morning to catch the first train to the office so you don't run late
That’s how I feel because I want to be perfect for you
It's a price I am willing to pay if that’ll will my heart to you
I love you and will also be there for you

ROLL THE BOAT





Roll the boat gently down to destiny
Dreams in life are all meant to be
Sail through the lake, river or sea
Current or storm may slow down thee
An anchor isn't enough to hold down a dream
Struggles and strife may weigh down man
Waves may rock the boat, still ease the mind
It aren't stable navigating through life
Got to paddle a way through when the engine is out
No time for worries if options are wide
Bale the water out with eyes fixed where purpose lies
A shore might not be that far away
If a little more you are determined today
Roll the boat till success in hands you can feel
For life is but one big journey attained despite its unforeseen

A WALK IN THE WIND




I took a walk in the wind
My heart tells me she has seen you
I search the world, but couldn't find a clue that leads to you
She only, knows the feeling of been in love with you
She understands the feeling deed down my heart
It’s been cold out here on my own
So I gave her my hands so I wouldn't be lost and alone
She knows where the river slows through to my heart
She shows me a path whenever I lost track of time
I don't want to lose you no more, even in my dream
Someone once told me am hallucinating
But it's difficult to wake up to reality in a world you're not in it
My feelings are blown into the wind like she is a part of me
Whenever you pass by, she whispers to me in a song
I will walk in the wind until the day in my arms I hold you
