Enough


Beyond the beautiful

spirit that you are

lie the lines in the heavens

that lead to afar




To the place that the first

light of hope rose and grew

into the promise of love

that led me to you




It's not enough to hope you are loved

It's not enough to dream

It's not enough

It's not




Beyond the moment

you think has arrived

remember those moments

of love in your life



The times you forgot

the world sometimes hurts

instead knew together

you'd handle the worst



It's not enough to remember love

It's not enough

It's not




Beyond forever

I'll never let go

to the piece of the heart

that calls your love home



I'll wrap it memories

of gentle silk bliss

like the lingering taste

of our very last kiss



It's just not enough

It's not




Beyond the beautiful

spirit that you are

lie the lines in the heavens

that lead to afar



To the place that the first

light of hope rose and grew

into the promise of love

that led me to you

Memory's Chains

I caught a ribbon of sunshine
tied it in your hair
your radiance
just stole it's glow

Begged a rainbow
drape you in her coat
Life was then for us
so full of hope

Prayed an angel
hold you safe from harm
Paid the Devil
just to keep you warm

Walked a thousand miles,
crossed the deepest sea
Hoping you'd say yes
to eternity

Now I stand here
in the fading light
Of our best days
turned to darkest night

In the moon's glow
I cling to the past
So many memories
too good to last

Yet when I think of you
I just can't let go
In case you're wondering
I still love you so

When you think of us
don't dwell in the dark
Find that special place
where we're not apart

Grab a ribbon of sunshine
tie it in your hair
Remember a young man
who's still smiling there

Hope in the air
heart on his sleeve
One who implored you
down on his knees

"Will you marry me?"

Then ask yourself
"Am I truly free?"

Can you ever be?
