Turn A Different Corner Turn a different corner and we never would have met Someone who I never knew is now so hard to forget How many times did we cross paths without looking left or right? How many times did we miss the mark when the target was in our sight? Did we touch in our dreams? that's how it seems I hear moans and screams But is it pleasure or pain? Did we not catch that falling star? were we reaching too short or too far? To wonder how close we really are We'll never feel this way again Take the path untrodden and we never would've known How in our darkest hours this love of ours has grown Conversations we should have had many years ago Would it have been different? because now we'll never know So we touched in our dreams At least, that's how it seems And I've silenced the screams Because it's pleasure not pain There is still time to catch that falling star I reach out my hand and hope it's not too far We know how close we really are We'll never be apart again |

Jeff, it's nice to see your older works coming to light in the public eye. Are you keeping your book updated? |
