"I can hear you making small holes in the silence rain. If I were deaf, the pores of my skin would open to you and shut and I should know you by the lick of you if I were blind."
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you."
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world....

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
And throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say (Hey)
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick with you my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick with you
Though everything going, we’re right here holdin’ on
To one another, the reason why I love ya
Your charming personality, I love your sensitivity
Wait, let me take a second, cause I’ll be your lovin’ essence, hold me
When I hear your voice speak, and I feel your body heat
Love every minute of it
You’re like the fresh air when it feels like no one cares
That’s why I’m sayin baby
Nobody’s gonna love me better, I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher (Nobody), I must stick with you (No...)
You know how to appreciate me (I know you love me), I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way (Ohh), I must stick with you (Nobody...)
And now, ain't nothing else I can need (Nothing else I can need)
And now, I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me
I got you, we'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you (Baby I'm with you)
Baby you're with me (Baby you're with me, higher)
So don't cha worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
Baby talk to me
Cause all I’m here to say is that
I’ll be right here for forever and a day hey
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick with you (Come on)
You know how to appreciate me (Nobody), I must stick with you, my baby (Nobody)
Nobody ever made me feel this way (Nobody), I must stick with you (Nobody)
You’re a shield during a storm (I’m right here)
Keeping me away from harm (I’m never gonna leave you)
You’re a song with beautiful words (I’m your song)
Something that I never heard
You know how to appreciate me (Appreciate me)
I must stick with you my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way (Oh), I must stick with you...

nice place in which to live.
If children live with serenity, they learn to have peace of mind.
With what are your children living?
After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and
company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head
up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you
get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
Is it the love inside my heart
That let's me know my Angels are there,
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face,
And the sun begins to shine
I hear a voice so soft and sweet,
Saying "Everything will be just fine"
It may seem that I am alone
But I am by myself at all
Whenever I need my Angels near,
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angels see us through,
They smile :) when we are happy,
And will cry when we are blue :(
Thanks for being my Angel,
Thank you for being my friend,
I will always be there for you
Until my dear life ends.
Somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
Your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
Or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(I do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
Nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands...
You are the one who makes me happy,
When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
and sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet listenin' to me
and all the mad sense I make
You are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how could anyone mean more to me than you.
Sorry if sometimes I look passed you
there's no one beyond your eyes
inside my head the wheels are turning
and sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul my inspiration
just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how could anyone mean more to me than you."
Tree let your arms fall:
raise them not sharply in supplication
to the bright enhaloed cloud.
Let your arms lack toughness and
resilience for this is no mere axe
to blunt nor fire to smother.
Your sap shall not rise again
to the moon’s pull.
No more incline a deferential head
to the wind’s talk, or stir
to the tickle of coursing rain.
Your former shagginess shall not be
wreathed with the delightful flight
of birds nor shield
nor cool the ardour of unheeding
lovers from the monstrous sun.
Tree let your naked arms fall
nor extend vain entreaties to the radiant ball.
This is no gallant monsoon’s flash,
no dashing trade wind’s blast.
The fading green of your magic
emanations shall not make pure again
these polluted skies . . . for this
is no ordinary sun.
O tree
in the shadowless mountains
the white plains and
the drab sea floor
your end at last is written.
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I fought my way back from the dead
I've tuned in, I've turned on
Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your whole life...
