Memories Clouded in Lust-------my song to you

(softly spoken)

My love , I just wanted you to know.  I have dreamed of our love
since the beginning of time and wish to create memories that will
last a lifetime.  So please..........(music starts)..will you listen to my
song.
(singing begins)
Stars upon us casting their spell
                         ........as midnight rainbows readily drown
kisses in the wind resting on your cheek
                         ........veiled in love as they cascade down
(chorus)
No memories clouded in lust
No dreams trampled in the dust
No souls left in barren waste
As we let go in passionate haste.

Walks in the park hand in hand
                       ........fingers entwined in lovers rhyme
Quiet moments in each others arms
                       ........Don't get lost in yesterday's time
(chorus)
No memories clouded in lust
No dreams trampled in the dust
No souls left in barren waste
As we let go in passionate haste.

Joyfully teasing in our hidden jest
                      ........spurts of laughter voiced out loud
Eyes dancing in warmth of darkest sun
                      .........with threats of passion not allowed

(chorus)
No memories clouded in lust
No dreams trampled in the dust
No souls left in barren waste
As we let go in passionate haste.

Let's take our time with this love we share
                     ........smell a few roses as we begin to grow
Memories will last a lifetime if we truely care
                    .........for all eternity purity in love I will show
(chorus)
No memories clouded in lust
No dreams trampled in the dust
No souls left in barren waste
As we let go in passionate haste.

(soft whispering)
Baby............I love you
(repeat chorus and fade)

Mark*
No purer heart could have been shown in this song from your soul.....no misconceptions of where you are going or what you are thinking...only pure and honest feeling... truly beautiful work that sings of friendship going wherever it is meant to go not guiding it but walkling with it and enjoying each moment as it should be~

Susan-I know of two hearts for sure that are!!!   Thank you so much for your sweet reply.

Martie-sometimes a fluke happens.LOLOL...Yes I do believe you are right.  Thank you so much my good friend.

Sue- A *Sigh* is good....trust me it is VERY good.  Thank you kind lady.

Oh Mark...I am now completely covered in the heaviest, thickest sappy goo I've ever encountered!  ROFLMAO  *sigh*  This is absolutely beautiful sir.    HAD to give you a hard time, of course!     I too, play piano/keyboard and uh...I do vocals too!     Four years of choir at school - maybe it will pay off someday...

Thank you so much for sharing this...You do  have a talent for lyrics...I would love to play around with this as far as setting some music to it.  AND I'd love to hear you sing, I don't care what you say!  hehehe  Bravo!!

Well, MarkB~
I play the field !

You're a character, you know ?

There's one lucky gal out there grinning !

This is quite lovely, cowboy !
And the neatest thing is that I know you are sincere with it.
Class act !
Best to you, my friend.

Oooooohhh - (stomping loudly) I'm SOOOO  jealous of that Janet!!!  Handcuffs?  How could one be so lucky???     So that explains where that little stinker went!  Argh!  NO FAIR NO FAIR!

Mark - hehehe  Okay...now calm down!  Did we ever like "handshake" on this?  Because if you could only SEE the layer of *dust* on my piano, you'd just cringe!  I haven't even had a chance to sit down and play for at least over a year! *sigh*  It's one of those things, that gets "put aside" when one's life gets too hectic!  hehe  Of course, this could be my excuse to sit down, dust it off, and get it a playin' again!  You're a silly man!  I'll let you know if I even remember how to play, ok?     Aaaah heck, it's like riding a bicycle, so I'll see what I can do, capice?
