An Ordinary Man

I'm just an ordinary man
Doing the things I do,
Waking up, brush my teeth, eat my breakfast,
All the time thinking of you ...
I'm just an ordinary man
Looking into the mirror,
Tie is straight, my shoes shine, gone to work,
Wondering if you are any nearer.
And all the time I go about my day
My heart just beats a little fast
At the thought that, in the evening time,
I may see you, once more, at last ...
And, in the eve, when I am back, once more,
I hang my suit, and loosen up my tie,
Set the table, forks and spoons, dinner's ready,
All that is left is your arrival, tonight ...
I'm just an ordinary man
So please don't be angry, and sigh,
If I still hope you will come back, sometime,
That "see you later" didn't mean "goodbye" ...
I'm just an ordinary man
And you have always, ever been so smart;
So please, if you do call, don't play with me,
For you'd be playing with my heart.

If I've Not Love

The other night, I almost gave up on you
Because I haven't heard a thing from you in a while,
So I thought I would go find somebody else,
Who would comfort me, hold me ... maybe walk to me, down the aisle ...
But then a friend, who I know well, wrote this stunning song,
The lyrics of, they stabbed me through the heart,
And so I thought that I would give you one more chance,
Just in case you, too, are dreaming of a brand new start ...
For if I speak, in so many ways, but have no love,
It matter not what else it be that I may do,
If I know everything, or if I trust, or even if I sacrifice myself,
It matter not, for my love for you is the only thing I know is true ...
And so I wait, one more day, one more lonely night,
With my hope dwindling, with every minute, every time that passes by ...
Perhaps you're late ... perhaps your pen ran out of ink ...
Perhaps you're telling me to wait, for you are on your way ...
Don't be too late, please do not play with my lonely heart,
For you are playing with everything I've got ...
I'll wait for you, just one more night, I hope I'm right ...
For my friend's song may mean "hello", but "goodbye" too, I thought ...
So, if you miss me too, alike I dream, then please don't hide it away from me ...
I know you've pride, and perhaps fear, but love is so much more important, you see ...
For if I speak, in so many ways, but have no love,
It matter not what else it be that I may do,
If I know everything, or if I trust, or even if I sacrifice myself,
It matter not, for my love for you is the only thing I know is true ...
I'll wait for you.

I'm Sorry, Little Child

I'm sorry, little child,
They cannot help you, tonight.
Their loved one awaits them, see,
With kisses and soft promises.
I'm sorry, little child,
They cannot help you, tonight.
I'm sorry, little child,
They cannot help you, tonight.
They say they have too much to bear,
You live too far away for them to truly care.
I'm sorry, little child,
They cannot help you, tonight.
I'm sorry, little child,
I cannot help you, tonight.
They've put the fear of God in me,
So that I may not speak up, you see.
I'm sorry, little child,
I cannot help you, tonight.
I'm sorry, little child,
I cannot help you, tonight.
I'm scared of what they'll say,
And, even if I raise my voice, it may all be in vain.
I'm sorry, little child,
I cannot help you, tonight.
I'm sorry, little child,
I cannot help you, tonight.
For, even if I somehow took a stand,
They'd just make me join you, ten feet under the ground.
I'm sorry, little child,
We cannot help you, tonight.
