TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

Whenever I think of you, I smile 

Life is so much prettier hearing from you

It’s everlasting joy to be loved by an angel such as you

When I close my eyes, I see you hugging me in my dreams

When I look at the sky, I see you waving back at me

In winter, I sense your warm thoughts caressing my heart

I can never be lonely anymore, not since I met you a fortnight

If tomorrow stays up late, will spend all the time I have today with you

For you are peculiar and blessed with the heart of an angel

For out of this world, can't find someone as special as you

Thank you for been a friend more than what I bargained for

Forever will I cherish the day I meet you

The world’s going to be forever beautiful with just a touch from you

I TRIED

I tried but life's keep getting out of hand
I tried but the burden of the world keeps weighing me down
I tried but everything fought for can't be found
I tried but all my effort's going down the drain every time
I tried but still the sky is getting out of reach
I tried but couldn't find comfort when the spirit is weak

I tried but something keep pulling me down from achieving my dream
I tried but can't find someone to accept me unconditionally
I tried but everything I love is falling apart
I tried but can’t stop the storms in my life
I tried but the pain aren't going away 
I tried to make the world a better place for you and me

I tried to paint the world with love, hope and humility
I tried to make it rain so the blind can see
I tried but everything I worked hard for is falling apart
I tried; I swear I tried everything a man could think off
I tried so hard but the world didn't appreciate me
I tried to leave a smile maybe someday someone will remember me

EVERY THING I DO

Everything I do, I do it for you

My life in the past has been resentful

Since I met you my days been completely beautiful

You cover my heart with your love, that’s unforgettable

No bridges can weigh down my feelings for you

My heart is cover with the smile and love I found in you

You turned my nights into day, that's no lie

Now I can walk through the hands of time

My feelings I can no longer borrow

I know with you the world will be beautiful tomorrow

All my life I have being searching for someone as you

For you have made my brightest dream come true

Everything I do is all because of you

Because I love you more than you think I do
