SINCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

It's been raining
Since I fell in love with you
Can't shield this feelings under the umbrella
Emotion is falling deep

Feels good to be in love with you
Now and forever
Its obvious you are all I need
As life goes by

I try to paint a picture
But can't portrait the love I found in you
There are times the day is bright
Because you are by my side

TO LOSE A HOME

To the families displaced by the storm in Haiti.

Helpless souls mourning
Hearts crying
Tears falling from the sky
Man striving to survive

Why is life so cruel?
Inflicting pain in our homes
Stealing away our happiness
In the middle of a sunny day

Why must the heart suffer?
When everyday we pray
Isn't the world created perfectly?
I thought this to be true when I was young

The world is beautiful
Enough to hold dreams 
Dreams of children playing in the park
Friends hugging each other smiling

Couples on a honeymoon 
Family taking pictures on a holiday
A mother bathing a newly born baby
But all this memories are gone

YOU WALK AROUND

You walk around
Like an angel who lost her path
I see a pretty girl looking sad
Can't help that I am drawn to you

Allow me to keep you company
It's going to be dark soon
Can I walk you home?
Where ever you wish to go

My heart I give to you
To keep warm your feelings
Never want the night stranded
Permit me to stay by your side
