~Take A Chance~
Amy M. Kennedy
dedicated to my inspiration

Dry your eyes, I'm here now
We'll get through this somehow
Sometimes life cuts like a knife
Baby unfortunately that's life

Please believe I understand
And put your heart into my hand
And all of your heartaches and fears
My love will make them disapear

Ride with me tonight
Take a chance and you'll see
Our happiness is within sight
Just let go and breathe

I will give you wings to fly
And I will catch you if you fall
I'll pull the stars down from the sky
You can wish upon them all

I can feel the weight of your stare
Your love is felt by me in all you do
So love me baby, love me if you dare
I'll forever love, protect, and cherish you

When we are together, it's a union of the soul
Your touch so magical, your kiss so enchanting
Dreams can come true, you came to me and made me whole
You captivate me, you are so beautifully breathtaking

I will take this risk on our love
But you must meet me halfway
No matter what happens my dear baby
I will love you now forever, always



 "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

"Fate exists but it can only take you so far,
Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

Amy - Now this is a beautiful tribute!  

My favourite verse is:

"ride with me tonight
take a chance and you'll see
our happiness is within sight
just let go and breathe"

"I will take this risk on our love
but you must meet me halfway"

Wow!

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

 And it's good that I'm not angry,
I just need to get over,
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry,
run when you run,
love when you love,
represent the ashes
that you leave behind

No matter what happens my dear baby
I will love you now forever, always
.........
of course AMY, you will and you will make love proud... your inspiration is one lucky guy, prosperous with the fact that he has this extremely sentimental and loving person, thinking about him all the time...

Many warm regards, sudhir.

 My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out
I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt
All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself,
Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright
My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor
Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore
Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night,
Still there are the questions, no answers in sight
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright
Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor,
Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door...
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange

~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream)
