Blue Harbor Moon

How     can you leave me so soon
Even as the blue   blue harbor moon
Above keeps its warm  night light aglow
Only to watch over us here below

What more can I say  What can I do
So that you’ll stay till night is through
You see, a birdie once told me at break of day
Only morning dreams come true

So if you decide    you must now be gone
Remember the truth   will not then be shown
For if we dream apart    we will dream alone
But if you stay    we’ll soon come to know
That what a birdie once told me is so

Don’t you know  how I long to hear you say
“Here by your side   tonight   I will stay.”
Under the stars which come to guide our way
As the moon    light grows stronger

But don’t let me or him   change your plan
If you go  we will try  to understand
But if you leave then please   leave  as you go
A promise  to come  back soon

For though he   and I   so  want you to stay
Don’t let us  a moment  longer delay,    no
We    will  both    keep our hearts   held at bay
As   me   and the moon     watch you     go away

From  me   and the blue......blue.......
               Blue      harbor    moon

How

When you left the other night

Without saying goodbye

I remembered all the times

I'd somehow made you cry

Cause I wouldn't show the side

You really loved me for

And I gave just enough

When you needed so much more

So if you wake one night to find yourself

Lost and alone

Please don't think of me

Don't call my name out low

Cause I'm not the man you hoped

Would never let you down

The man you tried to see in me

Is not the one you found

You could break this heart of stone if you tried

You could open it up to show what’s inside

You’re the one who holds the key to the door

Of this heart of stone

You know I knew what you missed

And still could not let go

Of feelings that another man

Would have opened up to show

But the tears you cry won't fall

Upon this shoulder now

Of the man who knew what woulda made you stay

Yet had forgotten how

How to take you in his arms

The way he used to do

To make you laugh

Specially when inside you're feeling blue

How to be your rock by day

Your comfort every night

And to kiss you gently upon each

First ray of morning light

Just try to remember me

As the guy you used to know

Before he’d forgotten how

To let the best he had show

And what you needed most

Became more than he'd allow

Though he still remembered what to give

He had forgotten how

How to take you in his arms (repeat 3rd verse as countermelody)

The way he did before

How to know just what you want

And then give you so much more

How to be the man who only wants to treat his lady right

And to kiss you gently upon each

First ray of morning light

SOMETHING

Today
outside my window
the birds still sing
like they sang for two
yesterday
Any fool could tell
they sing just as well
since you've gone away

but now I'm lost in a dream of when
you looked my way and then
you stole my heart
Why do fools always remember
those perfect moments at the start
which somehow turn into
those which break apart…
What ever happened to our love?

Hope you've found someone to
keep you warm come rain or snow
Don’t we all want something more
something left to show
But then isn't something always left behind
when someone has to go?

Tomorrow
the sun will rise
and though your eyes
open to find someone new
hope its someone who
knows what's left behind
when someone has to go
