Believe in Love

How far will you go sweetheart?
How far will you go to be close to me when we're apart?
How far will you go?
How much do you need, my dear?
How much do you need
to feel comfort from my beating heart?
How much do you need?
How much do you need?
Is it reckless to believe in love again?
Is it reckless to believe that I have found a long lost friend to believe in?
How long would I wait for you?
How long would I wait?
Until fate decides that we are through.
How long would I wait?
How long would you wait?
Is it reckless to believe in love again?
Is it reckless to believe that I have found a long lost friend to believe in me?
Oh, do I believe in love?
You ask if I believe?
I believe love can do anything.
Oh I do believe.
Oh I do believe.

Ramblin'

I can see him sitting on his rooftop, strumming his guitar,
Humming out a tune as he serenades the stars,
And praying to the moon and singing with the wind.
I know when he’s there cause I can feel it from within.
And he knows that I can hear him as he whispers to the moon.
He can’t wait to see this smile tomorrow afternoon.
So he reaches for my heart and he plays on with grin
As we share a common love from beginning to the end.
And I know, I know, I know.
I’m rambling. I’m know, I know.
But let me go on and on again.
If you like to see me smile,
Let me go on and on again.
What will come out next?
Here we go:
It was Halloween and we were taking a break.
Took a social gathering to show us our mistake.
And through the field of corn he would lead the way.
He kept me by his side that night all throughout the maze.
And I mentioned how the stars were beautiful and true.
He looked and mumbled, “Not as beautiful as you.”
I looked at him and smiled, but he kept his eyes low,
Because we both knew exactly where this was gonna go.
And I know, I know, I know.
I’m rambling. I’m know, I know.
But let me go on and on again.
If you like to see me smile,
Let me go on and on again.
What will come out next?
We don’t know. Ohh…
One car. Top down.
Blue skies as we’re driving out of town.
Singing loud. A little too proud
Down this road we don’t know,
As we go:
On and on again.
When he looks at me and smiles,
I go on and on and on and on and on…

Bobby

On a chilly day in November
all the boys got together
right outside my home.
For the last gloomy month or two
they see who's brave enough to go through
my old neighbor's door.
They knock three times -- like they're mannered,
but they don't fool me.
All those boys went there for
was to mess around with an old soul
that never found his way out.
The picked on him, teased him, called out his name,
not knowing what they'd get.
And soon came Bobby, sneaking up from behind.
He never wanted to be fifteen years confined.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
Can't you hear him:
Whispering through the trees?
Crying at night?
Whenever he sleeps is when we'll say goodbye.
He scared them off with a horrific howl
and slammed the door behind them.
Boys don't know what he's been through.
Having your job eat you alive,
losing your daughter and wife,
and praying to God it'll be all right,
but knowing you lost the fight.
And after the suicide thinking you've gone to a better place,
instead being put inside a memory you can't escape.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
Can't you hear him:
Whispering through the trees?
Crying at night?
Whenever he sleeps is when we'll say goodbye.
Goodbye, Bobby.
That's when we'll say goodbye.
Oh..
You don't know Bobby like I do.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
Can't you see him
and his past life being teased;
yearning to take flight?
Trying to take the leap
so he can say goodbye.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
You don't know Bobby like I do.
Can't you hear him:
Whispering through the trees?
Crying at night?
Whenever he sleeps is when we'll say goodbye.
That's when we'll say goodbye.
That's when we'll say...
Goodbye, Bobby.
Goodbye.

Fool

I played the fool tonight.
I know it isn't right to hold on so tightly to you.
I played the fool tonight.
It's been at least a month since you've said goodnight to me.
And maybe one day, you'll come around
and lift up the hearts of this sad little town.
Someday you will see how big a fool you are for letting me go.
Someday you will open your eyes, wake up and realize that you are a fool.
What about you made you so special?
What did you do that made me feel the way I did?
The way I still do. The way I will I'm sure.
And maybe one day, you'll understand
why I can't shake what has slipped from my hands.
Someday you will see how big a fool you are for letting me go.
Someday you will open your eyes, wake up and realize that you are a fool,
and that I am a fool.
I played the fool tonight.
I know it isn't right to hold on so tightly...

Here I Am

The child within me
showed her face today
and asked if I wanted to play.
I'd been away for far too long.
And I cried, "Yes! Show me the way.
Show me your secret place.
Your tree house is my saving grace.
Show me it all."
And I wish that little girl comes everyday
to remind me in her little way
just how to live.
Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.
When did this happen?
I'm just watching days go by.
How did this happen?
And why did I feel like I needed to hide?
It's not right.
Why do I care what they say?
Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.
I am inspired; I need to go higher than ever before.
I was given a reason to be here, so why do I fear the unknown?
I need to dive into this secret. I won't be ignored.
Today is day I need to let go.
Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.
Today is the day we let go.
