I MUST DANCE


I must dance while the music of life beats
Can't always achieve the things hoped for
It's a long journey from home to destiny
Had to dress the bed before I lay on it
There is no specific direction or pathway to life
Everyday fate I embraced with open arms
To wade away the guilt of an indecisive mind
Strife long overdue but the heart got to tag along
And harvest from sacrifices long made
For a man to be fulfilled and accomplished
Of a long journey away from home

I LOVE YOU





I have wanted to pour my heart out to you
But for a reason I developed a cold feet
I have told my heart a lot about you
He knows I will be deluded without you
Sometimes I feel like a kid when am around you
Can you give me a pat on the back?
And tell me it’s okay, that you love me too
People may think I am going insane for you
Even with a bottle of vodka I will still be lucid for you
Am starving and need your love
I might not know the recipe to your heart
But know one thing is for sure
That I love you and need you to love me back
Distance doesn't change how I feel about you
I will call you a million times
I will send dozens of text messages to you
Buy you a rose if it will help to prove to you
That I love this much about you
Because I really do, I love you

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
