I'll Remember April
I remember I was driving the first time the phone rang
I was on the turnpike, past the toll booth in the rain
A smile passed my lips as I picked up the phone
And I knew for the first time that I wouldn’t be alone
Hello, I sure did miss you, was all that I could say
Your voice is just the only thing that gets me through the day
That was back in spring and now in fall you’re hard to find
But every time I see you, I’ve got April on my mind
Now I know that you’ve been missing me
And you’re still the one who sets me free
And even though we’re far apart, we’re closer than ever somehow
But I’ll remember April, for now
The phone calls all have ended, and the conversation’s passed
I knew that only what I felt inside could ever last
And I see it in your eyes, but there’s no need for the fear
When we’re finally together, I’ll kiss away your tears
Now five months have passed, since I was free to speak your name
And it will be nine more before I’m allowed to feel again
But I will be here waiting, upon my heart’s return
For the one who took it from me and kept it close to her
Now I know that you’ve been missing me
And you’re still the one who sets me free
And even though were far apart, we’re closer than ever somehow
But I’ll remember April, for now
Dance Around
You’re just as you should be
On the phone, on my mind
You know nothing about me
But you don’t care, That’s just fine
We could talk for hours
And still be, just as interested to know
And when I know it’s time to leave you
I just hate, just hate to let you go
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
It seems like I just met you
And it seems like I’ve known you for years
It seems like I’ve yet to help you through
And it seems like I’ve dried all your tears
It may happen tomorrow
Or it may have happened today
Although you may not always understand
You don’t let your head get in the way
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
Nothing around me is different
And yet nothing will every be the same
Who knew the cloud that looked the purest
Could be the one to yield the most rain
So when you’re feeling weary
And it seems there is nowhere to hide
Always remember the beauty
Your heart cradles inside
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
Building You
Accidental meeting, winter’s evening
We both try to get warm
I welcome your glance, that I caught just by chance
As you silently stand by the door
Your clothing never matches, you have a style all your own
And your bag is laced with patches you sewed on at home
You reach for your book as a man reads o’r your shoulder
The words are so inviting now but will they still have meaning when you’re older
Prechorus
“So you like reading”, I think to myself
As I lock eyes with you once again
You seem to get lost in the black on the page
Each word brings you closer to the end
Chorus
I have no idea who you are
No way of knowing where you’ve been
But I’ve been building you in my head
And you’re perfect
A pen appears, from your pocket
To highlight some words that caught your eye
And in the margin you write “contradictory”
And then go on to explain why
I glance down at the bottom of the page
And see the word “Sabbath” in the corner
“So you like religion”, I think to myself
And discretely move my way towards you
Your glasses reflect the words on the page
Or possibly just translate the thoughts in your head
The letters are backwards and hard to understand
That’s why thoughts are unspoken, we think them instead
Prechorus
I hear you mutter under your breath
Possibly changed by the words you have seen
Although we will sleep in different beds
I’ll wake with the thought of you next to me
Chorus
Bridge
You have me mesmerized
Buried deep within your eyes
I can’t get my mind off you
I want to see into your soul
In Your Dreams
How long do I have to wait
To pass the tests of time and fate
So my heart can then anticipate
The love it soon will know
Warmer looks and brighter skies
Have wiped the tears from crying eyes
Still somewhere in the darkness lies
A place I long to go
Come with me
Fly away
Let my heart
Steal your pain
However far away it seems
However lost you seem to be
When you want to think of me
I’ll be waiting in your dreams
Outstretched arms and sparkling eyes
Remind me it’s ok to cry
When listening to the lullaby
That soon puts me to sleep
So I can see you in your dreams
See you in your dreams
Sometimes I wish that time could fly
So I wouldn’t force my heart to lie
When lying under April skies
Wishing June would come
We’ll realize it’s been awhile
When we first see a baby smile
And we know it’s not the only child
This love has ever known
Come with me
Fly away
Let my heart
Steal your pain
