The Bridge

Can anybody see the bridge?
We've been traveling for days just to see her.
They say you should never burn bridges down.
Unless something bad is on the other side to get you.

I don't know. I don't know what's on the other side.
I've never been to a bridge like this before.
I say I don't know what's on the other side...
Good? Evil? or just a different road of life to travel on.
All in all, I like the road I'm on now.
I know the trails, the short cuts, the sink holes.
I am comfortable here.

Hey, who's that standing on the bridge?
He's holding some kind of key.
I wonder if you need a key to cross over?
I'll ask...
"Hey mister, what's the key for?"
"In order to travel to the other side
you will need it. but be brave.
Uncertainty rules the other side.
There are many new roads to travel down,
many new trails that wont be easy...
Do you think you can make it?
Do you want to try? - he said.

All of his talk was clearing confusion from my life.
I needed that key. I had to cross this bridge.
"How much for the key?" I asked.
"It's free. The only catch is that you must find another person
to cross over too. Once you have given the key to them, you're
free to travel, " he said.
"But what about you? How long have you been holding the key
for me to come along?" I asked.
"About seven years," he said. "I knew you would come.
It's the 'doing' part that people shy away from...
So, have a good life, and don't follow me -
this is mine."

So, here I sit in the middle of the bridge of life.
Trying to see what's on the new side of the river
while knowing all to well,
the past. . .
"Wanna cross a bridge with me ??? "

It Was The Last Thing I Expected

It was the last thing I expected
Like a blind date being blind,
I never saw it coming
You were more than I could hope to find -

It was as if some light had found me
As I drudged on through the dark,
Never knowing or realizing
Life's in drive, not stuck in park -

You were the last thing I expected
A falling star out of the night,
Yeah the last thing I expected
I never had things turn out right-

I never had love that was certain
Like the sun shine from above,
I never had someone to count on
I never ever felt so loved -

You were the last thing I expected
You were the best time that I had,
You were the last thing I expected
The best thing I couldn't turn bad -

If I knew that love could turn out
The way it has for me,
I would have started sooner
At last I finally see -

That the last thing I expected
Is the best thing that I've done,
You were the last thing I expected
And I thank God that you're the one -.-

The Only Thing Missin' - Is You

I've come to review - the scene of the crime
Police asked what's missin' - of what used to be mine,
The kids are just fine - and the furniture looks new,
The only thing that's missin' - is you ..

I went through the closets & the dresser drawers
Folded laundry's on the table - and the dirty's on the floor,
The guns are in the cabinet - and there's money left in view
The only thing that's missin' - is you --

I don't know where you are - but I know where we've been
We tried to make it work - God I hope this aint the end,
Cuz I know in my heart - that the love I have is true
The only thing that's missin' - is you ..

(bridge)

So I came to review - the scene of the crime
I done my lookin' round - and lost track of the time,
And the kids will be fine - and somehow we'll get through
The only thing still missin' - is you ..

Yeah the only thin that's missin' - is you .. -.-

Cool Breeze

Let me be the cool breeze
Blowing on your skin,
Let me be the lover
You always wish I'd been,
Let me be the shadows
That caress your body deep,
Let me be the one you need
The one you want to keep -

Let me be the cool breeze
Feather soft upon your skin,
Let me be the light that shines
And warms you deep within,
Let me be the mystery
You hold fast up in your mind,
Let me be the one you want
The one you wish you'd find -

Let me be the cool breeze
Sweet scent upon the air,
Let me be the one who runs
His fingers through your hair,
Let me be the one to hold you
In my arms strong and true,
Let me be the chosen one
That makes sweet love to you -

Let me be the cool breeze
Through your window late at night,
Caressing your skin in silence
Like lovers who've loved you right,
Let me be so quiet and strong
I'm begging you from my knees,
Let love blow across your skin
Let me be your cool breeze -.-

Someday

We'll have to get together again, someday
And talk about the old times and the new,
We'll have to get together again, someday
And find out if I still love you -

The good times that we nad when we were young
The many times we laughed and we cried,
The good times we shared just uh havin' fun
The only time my heart ever died -

So we'll have to get together again, someday
And talk about the old times and the new,
We'll have to get together again, someday
And find out if I still love you -

We'll talk about the first time we met
That evening we spent on the beach,
Just sittin' there alone as the sun went down
and watchin' the waves splash out of reach -

The many nights we wpent out on the town
From dinners to shows and then home,
It makes me want to do them all over again
It makes my heart feel so alone -

We'll have to get together again, someday
And talk about the old times and the new,
We'll have to get together again, someday
And find out if I still love you,

Oh yeah find out if I still love you
Yeah yeah find out if I still love you -.-

A Friend

So you're saying that it's over
Got that's news to me,
I thought forever was a long time
I thought forever we would be..
I must have gotten my signals crossed
Somewhere along the way,
I must have gotten the message wrong
Because I thought with me you'd stay..
People have told me time and again
Better not give your heart away
It's much safer to make a friend.
Yet to me a friend I thought I had
For with you I could share the good
and the bad,
But again I find my heart's a mess
I should have made a friend
I guess ... -.-

Jay Leno quote for today...

"If God had wanted us to vote,

He would have given us candidates..."

You either have to smile at this - or cry...
