Phil Collins You Can't Hurry Love- Lyrics

Another Snowy Day

I gazed out the window as

the snow was falling down,

another day of winter with a

blanket of white on the ground.

The fireplace was crackling

and daydreaming was I, 

with another day in passing 

and a moment lost to time.

The new year approaching

I thought of what it will bring, 

then my mind skipped the season

and visualized spring.

Words of The Heart

 I watched as the boats traveled down the river that day and at that moment felt my mind slowly drift away. The heart that was weathered by the storms begins to count the endless grains of sand along the shore.  The landscape inviting I wished a little more, opened my heart and let you in the door.  I kept the secrets in the sand upon the shore titled after the one that I adore.

~

One sided love is the pain of all heartache,

~

Fate leads us to the door, 

choice allows us to open it or not. 

~

Life is nothing but chapters

I wish I could erase a few.

~

People always talk about living their life over,

the first time is hard enough.

~

I am beginning to like isolation

it doesn't hurt as much.

~

Sometimes all there is,

is a daydream

~

I must have read one to many fairytales...there is no happily ever after.

~

Sometimes I like the silence 

until the memories surface.

~

Ugh

~

Happy New Year

 To have loved....

~

If tomorrow never comes I can say 

I have lived and loved. 

~

Rainbows aren't forever.

~

I am getting and dusting myself off...

~

The irony is it takes as much energy to hate as to love. 

~

I do believe in fate,

no matter where it leads us.

~

There is only so many emotions 

and I've experienced all at one time or another.

~

It's a bit cliche  " to have loved and lost" but even a broken heart is an experience worth living. So I keep telling myself that.

~

Just Another Day

Roses in December

sunshine when it rains, 

the world is that much better

when sweet love reigns.

The heavens in a blanket of blue

sprinkled with a shower of stardust 

has me deep in thoughts of you,

as I find myself behind those 

clouds of grey.

~

Beyond this world,

another place in time, 

where souls come together

and you were mine. 

We'd soar the heavens,

embrace the dreams,

dance on the clouds 

and with our hearts sing. 

~

...

 No rainbows for you and I

they always fade away,

like the stars in the heavens 

hide behind the gray.

The silence has spoken

and sorrow takes center stage,

for life is empty without 

you in my day.

So I say good night

sleep well my friend

i'll be grateful 

till the end. 

Take What You Can Carry

 I carry your love wherever I go

it has been there from the first hello,

it is wonderfully deep in the heart

where I've kept it safe from the start.

It brightens the darkness with its own light

while giving voice to the silence of the night,

cast by the memories of days gone by 

the memory of love within me resides. 

Star

 

One heaven above us

and one earth below,

the energy between us 

continues to flow.

You can take tomorrow 

the good mornings and hello's 

but the dreams of you are

not on borrow.

The magic of love

was created by need,

I wanted you and 

you wanted me.

One heaven above us

and one earth below,

the energy between us 

continues to flow

~

I watched as the cardinals

gathered for the dish of seed,

their red against the snowy trees

is a visual that pleased.

Winter upon us 

and a season to endure, 

my heart aches 

needing a little bit more.

Close to you

 One dream , one love

one day to see us through, 

the path of this life has

led me directly to you.

Grateful am I 

for there is no reign on time,

each second that we shared

was truly divine.

From earth to the heavens

and from star to star,

we were united though

our flesh is quite far.

I think about each moment

to be there close to you,

my skies gray without 

you I miss the sunshine

and the blue.

Waking Up

 I woke from a nightmare with my heart racing and my head ready to explode.  I fell asleep with the tv on and the news must have gotten into my head. The world is a crazy place and the sensationalism of newscaster encouraged my Armageddon type dreams.  Writing has always been away to cleanse the canvas of the day bringing forth good thoughts. As I get my rather unsettled emotions under control here's to better thoughts.

The year is passing 

so much unseen and undone,

as I go about dreaming

of the arms of the one I love.

Like the ocean meets the shore

and the sunrises in the morn,

I take to the heavens as away

of finding your love to explore.

It brings a blanket of peace

that calms and soothes the soul,

your love brings a warmth 

that has me wanting for more.

My breath relaxed

and my heart follows suit,

as I go about reviewing the

love labeled "forevermore."

The hills are snow covered

as it's now fully winter time,

so I close my eyes to dream

a summer with your hand in mine.

You can't stop the feelings,

I won't toss them away,

the love we shared still brings

sunshine my way.

As I prepare to fall asleep

I visualize you here, 

a moment of a lifetime 

removes the nightmares I fear.

Burn

One day forward

and a breath I take, 

for I have loved

and felt the ache.

The heart which beats

and the souls that feels

secures the moment

and holds it still.

Joyous smiles

all love infused,

captures the dreams

and each day renew.

Once given 

cannot be returned,

so in my soul 

your love will burn.

Tried

 I tried to stop the dreams 

to hold the memories back,

but there is no stopping love

to keep it from this heart of 

mine.

I can't control how others feel

and don't know what they think,

it might take two hearts to love

but all I know is what's in this 

heart of mine.

Can't see over the mountains

nor cross the rivers wide, 

unless you were here beside me

and we stopped the hands of time.

I tried to stop the dreams 

to hold the memories back,

but like the tears that had fallen

both the dreams and memories

could not be held back.

Holiday

 Maybe it's the season or the sappy holiday movies. That I find myself time after time going over the same memories. One was when I was seven years old and we were moving and I asked if I could take my baby doll and mother replied" take what you can carry. " I couldn't carry my clothes and the dolls but that memory all these years later still burns a hole in my heart. I ended up moving in with a Great Aunt with nothing but a few clothing items. She took me to a Christmas store. It was the first time I   had ever been in a store that carried nothing but Christmas items. She said pick out something for your younger sister and yourself. I chose a pink elf and a purple elf for myself. To this day I still place that elf on the tree. Call me the sentimental fool. I left out a lot that happened in those earlier years . Maybe it was intentional or a way of healing that the mind selects certain memories to hold onto. Somehow there is a gap in time and I find myself sharing those first holidays with my own children. I remember taking them to green tree shopping mall. We viewed the decorations they saw Santa Claus and we did some shopping. There was something uniquely special about that day. It was a really nice holiday that year. The holiday has away of touching on all the emotions. I just want to say that I hope you find the perfect memories to carry you through the holiday. Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

Snowfall

Watch the snow fall

and remembering when, 

we shared the moments

and my life once more 

began.

Another season 

and I stand here alone,

wondering darling 

where the time goes.

I'll keep the memories

close here in my heart,

as a way of staying close

though you're quite far.

 

Alone

 I find myself alone and dreaming

needing and wanting you here with me, 

it seems a thousand years between us 

or the crossing of a million seas. 

Tears fallen from the heavens

or is that my heart that weeps?

without your love I  have nothing

while I've fallen into a deep sleep.

I could take to the mountains 

stand there to feel the breeze,

but nothing really matters

because you're not here with me. 

The void is deep within me

the sorrow has found its place, 

they must have called this heartache

as the pain inside remains. 

I know all to well this story no

 enchantment or happy endings for me,

to the grave I'll take the secrets of the 

love that once set my soul free. 

I must not have meant enough to you, 

nor did I  make your sky blue, 

for you easily walked out on me

when I thought love knew what to do. 

Haunted by the experience

when I thought you held my hand, 

to find that I was standing here alone

in what I thought was heavens plan. 

No sparks to light the night, 

nor sunshine to bring happiness my way,

as I walk through this darkness

your love seems to fade farther away.

Chapter

Gone with no goodbye found

me here with tears in my eyes,

as only memories remain 

in a chapter that with my 

heart played.

Cleanse this soul of mine

leaving not left to time, 

only tears that fall 

that I had given my all. 

Stand strong and don't leg go

as I just want you to know, 

the games you play 

redirect the heart in different

ways.

Gone with no goodbye found

me here with tears in my eyes,

as only memories remain in a 

chapter that with my 

heart played.

 Sometimes all that is left is a good cry.

Yesterdays Thoughts

 The words are my eternal gift as

they have found their place in your heart.

The rainbow is a reflection of light through a drop of water,

your happiness is a reflection of love as seen through life.

Imagine a place where the comfort cradles you and love kisses you...

and you will have found my arms.

It only takes one knock at the door of the heart to view the joy of life.

When the melody comes together,

the harmony of life is revealed.

I accept each piece of the puzzle,

as a completion to the canvas.

Natures balance is the key to the survival of all living creatures,

the balance of the heart with the soul is the key to the survival of love.

When the heart is given the sight to see,

paradise is conjured from simple need.

There is no such thing as common,

only unlocked combinations.

It's not I don't forgive, for forgiveness is the wholeness to healing, It's not that I hate for hate is the wall that imprisons. What I choose to do, is to remember and as I review the moments in time, I propel forward in the ongoing journey.

Hope opened the gate,

faith released the dream.

That which taught my feet to dance also taught my soul to sing.

~

The availability of happiness teeters on your willingness

to accept the warmth of love as it flows outward from the center of your soul.

~

To pursue the reason for our being,

one must be willing to accept the

journey detail by detail.

The grass is indeed lush and green and the sky a magical blue and it all became a little more special when I shared the vision with you.

Circumstance built a wall,

love for life removed it all.

Happiness is attained by the sharing of love.

The sun is but the energy of my undying love,

as it rays bring light to the world,so does it

cast its beauty upon my soul.

You can make it last a little longer just

by holding me close in your heart.

Only if it falls upon your ears and is felt by your heart does

the music perform to the magic of love.

~

Love is not built upon expectation,

but is created by the will of the soul.

~

It is the trickery of the mind which teases the heart.

~

If mere chemicals can create such feel for passion,

I must be on a flood watch.

~

I shall not look back nor worry of the future,

for the celebration of love holds still the moment.

I rejoice in that we have experienced the pleasures of love.

~

Allow the wind to touch your soul with the magic of life.

Chapter

 I saw the heavens as one and

not the many worlds beneath,

confusing my wants with my needs

and bartering with love.

Surrendering to the journey

which way do I go?

forward by one, back by two

no matter what the sky is

not blue.

Gray like the storms 

each day from birth

hovering over cast

darkness upon the earth.

Weep not for sorrow

for there is always an end,

whether I chose it or you

did my friend.

Snow Falls

There is no magic to the moment

nor warmth to the sunshine, 

without you here beside me 

my heart is cold like that of 

winter time. 

The snow has fallen 

and drapes the hills in white, 

like a blanket over the dreams 

they are no longer bring the 

memories to life. 

Dean Martin - Return To Me

Return to me

Oh my dear I'm so lonely

Hurry back, hurry back

Oh my love hurry back I'm yours

Return to me

For my heart wants you only

Hurry home, hurry home

Won't you please hurry home to my heart
