Close my eyes and I see you Bleed my heart just to feel you Are you still thinking of me? Close your eyes and you'll feel me Soothing Hands (I was lost but now I'm found) Soothing Heart (Feel the rhythm, hear the sound) Time is vast like the ocean Meant for love and devotion Though the light may be bright now We have heaven right now Soothing Hands (I was lost but now I'm found) Soothing Heart (Feel the rhythm, hear the sound) Soothing Hands (I was lost but now I'm found) Soothing Heart (Feel the rhythm, hear the sound) Soothing Love (We can turn this love around) Soothing Soul (In your arms I'm homeward bound)

Gimme a girl who plays guitar with her fingers and I'll marry her Oh wait I did that and it didn't work out Gimme a girl with a soft singin' string and I'll love her Oh wait I did that and it didn't work out Gimme a girl who's an artist and poet and deep and as dark as you are And I'll love her 'til the end of my days The end of my days well they're bound to come We all set like the sinkin' sun But in my heart I've just begun to see the guided way And though I'm dead 'cause you're not here I know there's nothing, nothing to fear 'Cause I'm alive and I'll live each day with love inside my heart Gimme a girl who never ever stops smiling and I'll run away Gimme a girl who's always happy and laughing and I'll turn away Give me a passionate tigress who steals my heart in the night And I'll love her 'til the end of my days The end of my days well they're bound to come We all set like the sinkin' sun But in my heart I've just begun to see the guided way And though I'm dead 'cause you're not here I know there's nothing, nothing to fear 'Cause I'm alive and I'll live each day with love inside my heart

My love, my shooting star Well you know just who you are And I feel you in my soul Forever on it goes I embrace and tenderly The war inside of me But I love you always Still see you in my dreams Like a light in the dark Light in the dark Light in the dark side of me Like a moth that has no name Drawn towards your flame But I'll always feel the same Your memory remains Like a light in the dark Light in the dark Light in the dark side of me My love, my shooting star Well you know just who you are And I feel you in my soul Forever on it goes Like a light in the dark side of me

For You 04:16
You just left again This time as a friend But it still felt the same I didn't want the night to end I tried to let it go, take that love and forget it Cause thinkin' 'bout the past can crush you like a stone if you let it But honey there's a dream, and no I won't forsake it My heart upon my sleeve for you, if you'll take it Well I don't know much about religion and such And philosophy, well it seems like runnin' in circles to me But I know one thing, could do it with a blindfold on Love you forever, or at least write you love songs I tried to let it go, take that love and forget it Cause thinkin' 'bout the past can crush you like a stone if you let it But honey there's a dream, and no I won't forsake it My heart upon my sleeve for you, if you'll take it

I'll take you to europe and wash all the past away like the wind and I'd find you at last And it'd be like they tell in the tales of ole' When true love prevails there is peace I am told And patience was somethin' I'd not known 'til now You see time it's an ocean and I'll sail it somehow I've put aside anger and put aside strife And glory to God you'll be back in my life We'll dance on the ridge of a sunrise at dawn We'll laugh and we'll cry at ridiculous songs We'll swim in the ocean, the depth of the tide But it won't match the depth that I see in your eyes And they tell me 'give up, there is better instead' And they tell me 'give up boy, you best keep your head' But I can't, no I won't, no I don't hear their cry 'Cause there's something inside me that won't ever die
