Now Is Not The Time

I have only known her for a little time
But since we met she's all that's on my mind
I wonder if she feels the same
But I'm afraid of what I'll find
If it's not reflected back to me in kind

I want to tell her how I feel
But now is not the time
I want to take the dream and make it real
Maybe someday I can make her mine
But for now I'll keep on dreaming
That I can turn the water into wine
I'm waiting for a miracle
'Cause now is not the time

If I go and take a leap of faith
Is it my heart's destiny to break
I've been there many times before
But there's only so much I can take
Is the risk too high to let the dream awake

I'm praying that this miracle is true
'Cause it's time I said this song is about you

I've Got A Crush On You

We see each other nearly every day
And every time it happens
I just have the urge to say
That I love the way you smile
Cause it's in your eyes as well
But I'm a little shy in case you couldn't tell

Would you like to go out with me
Cause I'd love to spend some time with you
Get to know you better
Learn the things you like to do
I've got a crush on you

Writing this makes me a little scared
You might see me different
When I have my feelings bared
There's a chance that you won't like it
And think I crossed the line
Well if it's so the blame is purely mine

We've known each other for so long
But never really known
How that we would get along
Once our feelings have been shown
I'm hoping we can see each other
Outside these four walls
Well what do you say
Do you want to play
Will you answer the call

No Plan B

I never lied to you
Every word I said was true
So how can you stand there and tell me
That you were deceived

I told you the way that I feel
My emotions were just too real
And instead of taking me at my word
You refused to believe

I tried to explain
But it wasn't enough
To overcome your doubts

Where do I go from here
What I thought was finally clear
The clouds have taken away
This future from me
All those nights on the telephone
Chasing dreams in search of a home
It was all for nothing
If I can't get you to see
You were no Plan B

Now that a week has gone by
I still don't have a reason why
But whatever made you change your mind
It don't matter to me

If I haven't earned your trust
Everything will just crumble to dust
And there's no solution as far
As these eyes can see

It's all up to you
Take a leap of faith
Or take the easy way out

I don't know what to say
There was no Plan A
There wasn't any game
I was trying to play
You were the only one
That I hoped would be here to stay

It Breaks My Heart

The people that I love
Have lost someone they love
And I don't know what it is that I should say
I want to give them comfort
But I'm at a loss for words
Cause they're really void of meaning anyway
I barely even knew her
But I know the people crying here today

It breaks my heart
To see my friends like this
I want to make it better
But I am so powerless
So I pray to God
To lift them up
And hold them in his arms
To heal and keep them safe from harm

There's a little baby boy
In the hospital again
And nobody knows how long it's going to be
He's been through so much
But he keeps on fighting still
And there's no end to his strength that I can see
My problems seem so little
Cause he is such an inspiration to me

Free Spirit

I don't know what's come over me
I think I made a mistake
I put my heart before my head
And one of them's going to break
This obsession's got a hold on me
And there's no escape that I can see
I'm afraid that this is more thank I can take

The way I feel about you girl
Is more than I can explain
I want to make you mine alone
Forever to wear my chain
I'd be bad for you and worse for me
Cause you gotta be what you gotta be
And I couldn't stand to ever bring you pain

You're a free, free spirit
And you're not the kind to be tied to the ground
You're a free, free spirit
And I know I'd only be holding you down
So fly away from me
And soar while you can
And I'll be here when you decide to land

I know I have a choice to make
It's time for me to find
If I can live inside your world
Cause you don't belong in mine
I have to see if I can live
Will it be enough what you can give
Or do I have to let you be with your own kind

Girl you know my heart is true
I'll do anything for you
Even if it means I have to let you go
If you're gonna break my heart
Then let's hurry up and start
Cause it hurts too bad for me not to know

Salsa Queen

She got moves to make your body sweat
Yes she's something that you won't forget
She's the prize that you can't possess
She wants the best and she won't settle for less

She's the salsa queen
If you know what I mean
And the way she moves 
Really makes a scene
She will make you cry
Honey if you try
No she can't be beat
Cause her hips don't lie 

She's the hottest body on the beach
But her style is so far out of reach
You need proof to make it through the door
Gotta match her rhythm on the dance floor

If you think that you could have a shot
Step on up and show her what you got
You might last until the song is done
But you're still going home alone

Through My Eyes

You're the girl that every man wished he could have
And the one that every girl wished she could be
You're the pinnacle of beauty
Your smile shines like the sun
And I know everybody would agree

I wish that you could see yourself through my eyes
I wish that you could know how truly wonderful you are
I wish that you could understand
How everyone admires you by far
Speaking honestly, you're a star

You're the smartest person I have ever known
And there is nothing that you can't achieve
You can forge your own destiny
Show the world a queen
If only you believe like I believe

Your tomorrow's not defined by your yesterday
And the dreams you once had are not so far away
There is nothing that can stop you once you set your mind to it
So go on out and make them yours today

Angel Eyes

I was feeling sad and lonely
Thinking love had left me behind
I was wondering it if was only
For other people to find
As the door of opportunity
Was closing in my face
A window opened up in its place

Angel eyes and a devil's smile
And the way she loves me makes it all worthwhile
I just can't wait 'til I feel her touch
Cause the time we spend away hurts so much

I was rocked to my foundations
When I saw the new girl in town
I was breathless with anticipation
Cause she was the sweetest around
When she turned her gaze upon me
I was captured under her spell
Now where this leads only time will tell

I am helpless to resist her playful charms
I need to hold this beauty in my arms
She knows that she can do with me
Anything she please
And at her wish I'm falling to my knees

Little Girl

I was looking for something that I could not define
I was wondering if there was someone that I could find
That would take the love I'd give unconditionally
And appreciate the heart she saw of mine

Then I took a leap of faith when a question came
Asking if there was a thing that I could name
That made what I was seeking more unusual
Then she came to me and said she felt the same

She captured my heart with the wink of an eye
And when she smiled at me I never felt so high
I know I'll never find in the whole wide world
A love so big as from my little girl

She is everything I need right from the start
And I know whatever happens that we'll never part
She showed me the way to see things differently
And filled the hole I had inside my heart

She is Daddy's little girl and she's the one for me
When I close my eyes her face is all that I can see
And she's making me the man that I was always meant to be

Deeper Into Black

I hear the voices running through my head
Telling me to not get out of bed
Saying nothing's gonna come of it
The pieces of my life don't fit
And I'll wish I had gone back to sleep instead

My life is broken in pieces
And some of them were lost on the way
I don't know what good my belief is
That anything is gonna be okay
Every step I try to take forward
Always ends up falling to steps back
And it don't matter if I turn on the light switch
Cause I'm slowly fading deeper into black

I have to pick myself up off the floor
But I can't seems to care anymore
It's so hard to get excited
When all my love is unrequited
And there's no use even walking out the door

Another day is slowly passing by
I've given up on trying to wonder why
I don't want to keep on living
Since my heart is unforgiving
Of how my life's turned out to be a lie
