This personal advice I offer to you
About love and marriage I know to be true
Before you decide to commit to “I Do”
Reflect on this thought a moment or two
For I will tell you what it’s all about
Never marry the one you can live with
Marry the one you can’t live without

Lost love never reclaimed
I remember her face
I remember her name
I picture our moments together
I thought I’d never forget her
But young love fades like the setting sun
I remember the girl, but I never knew the woman

Those dreams of days gone by
The days that seemed to fly
The days without a care
The days we used to share
It only takes a moment and they’re no longer here
We can never return no matter how much we care

Oh how I miss the long ago!
The places we used to go
The times we spent alone
The special moments only we have known
I miss the me and you
And the things we used to do

But that was once upon a time
When I was yours and you were mine
And we were lovers, just we two
When nothing else mattered, but me and you

Now you are gone and I’m left alone
To remember each moment on my own
And as each twilight slowly appears
I see your memory through my tears
Oh how I miss those tender years

“The saddest thing is to be a minute to someone
When you’ve made them your eternity”
Sanober Kahn

Where is my love?
Where is she?
Where’s the one meant for me?

Did I miss her passing by?
Did I ignore the look in her eye?
Did I not see and wonder why?

Could I have overlooked the moment?
Could I have dismissed the glance?
Could I have disregarded my chance?

How could I have not recognized the sign?
How could I have not claimed what was mine?
How could I have left her behind?

Will there be a second time around?
Will I again lose what I have found?
Or will I finally know and will
I finally see the one who is really
Meant for me?

Hush-a-bye the bough may break
But dreams never happen when you’re awake
Hickory dock goes the clock
Counting time as it will
Like Jack and Jill that live on the hill
Never contrary, never blue
So simple, so innocent, so sublime
You’ll forever be my favorite nursery rhyme

Time doesn’t erase
It can never replace
A picture in mind
Of an image left behind
An exposure in black and white
Of the final night
A photo took
Of that last look♥

As the day retreats
I follow the streets
As night drew near
I sense to hear
A familiar voice
I had no choice
Anticipation held me
I turned to see
Believe when I say
I saw a memory today

I find myself frozen in time
Caught in the moment when we said our good-byes
There is nothing you can do when a romance dies
Nothing was said just the look in our eyes
And nothing will be the same as it was
For time always moves on as it does
And if I could I would make
Time stand still
If the gods so will
But I know when my life’s spirit is set free
And I see the angels descend at my journey’s end
I will see you again

You can find a pebble in a stream
You can find the meaning of a dream
You can find the key to a heart
You can find the ending to a start
But where do you find love?

You can locate a special star in the sky
You can locate the truth hidden in a lie
You can locate a smile inside a tear
You can locate a wish if you stop and stare
But where do you find love?

You can discover a new distant land
You can discover pennies in the sand
You can discover the significance of life
You can discover the reason to take a stand
But where do you find love?

You can always find what you have lost
You can always find what you want no matter the cost
You can find an answer to a question
You can find the solution to a problem
But where do you find love?
