1.A Tale Of Two Lovers 2
1:43AM (Guy)
I can't fall asleep tonight
Because I want to hold you tight
I hold your photo under the moonlight
And wish that I could treat you right
I have your photo, I see your face
But I can't see you walk, can't feel your grace
I want you here, with me face to face
Because I long for our first embrace
I pick up the phone, and I know your number
I want to hear your voice once before my slumber
Been so long since I've seen you, nearly one full summer
But your face is always on my mind, never a blur
I dial your number, after I wait for the tone
You're so special, unlike anyone I've ever known
I want to be with you, not here all alone
When it starts to ring, a little more tightly I grip the phone
I know you turn off your phone when it's dark outside
So I wait for dark every night, when you're deep asleep inside
I love you so much, but these feelings I must hide
For I know you don't feel the same way, because once I tried
Your machine picks up, and you start to talk
Your voice so sweet, rhythmic like the clock when it ticktocks
I think back a couple months, the last time I saw you on the
sidewalk
I dream of you so gently, and I think of you round-the-clock
You tell me to leave the message after the beep
I wait a little longer, to make sure that you're asleep
I think of the first time, when I saw you my heart took a leap
Because one look at you, and my feelings have ran so deep
I wait a little longer, playing your voice over in my head
I don't want to sleep, don't want to go to bed
Because my dreams are filled with dread
I always dream of you, but you're always with someone else
instead
Even in my dreams I cannot be with you
So how can I let destiny do what it's supposed to
I want to care for you, and to love you too
But I know that your love for me can never be true
I hang up the phone, and lay back down
Before I close my eyes, upon my face is a little frown
I want to love you through ups and downs
but I know I'll always get played like a clown
So I go to sleep, and my heart quietly weeps...
2:55AM (Girl)
You called again, like the night before
But I wonder what you called for
Last time I saw you was at school, when you walked down the
corridor
I caught one more glance at you before you walked out the door
Why must you always play with my heart
Haven't seen you in so long, now my world is falling apart
My heart, you pierced it like a dart
So why can't I forget you, why can't I be smart?
Unknown to you, I know that you called
I know that every night, you call and for a while you stall
Don't you realize I care for you and want you to catch me when I
fall?
I want to hold your hand as we walk down a seashore
I know that you called because I have Caller I.D.
But I wish I also knew your heart, only if I had your heart's
key
But here I am all alone, just myself and me
No matter how hard I plea, I just can't be with you happily
So I lay back on my bed and try to go to sleep
I see your face when I try counting sheep
Here I lay all alone, an unloved heap
Slowly, tears start to come; my eyes and heart weep...
2.Everything About You
My friends asked me what I saw in you
Yes you are beautiful, they agree too
They say that you are not my type
But I tell them to stop all their gripe
Day has turned into night
and still you're not here, nowhere in sight
As I pull out the picture of you in a frame
I look at it, and know I am not to blame
You are as beautiful as they come
No need for me to play all dumb
I run my fingers down your face in the picture
And in my mind your image begin to stir
No, it's not the way you walk
and it's not the way you talk
It's not the way you look
But for some reason, you have gotten me hooked
I was walking down the street the next day
When I saw you close by; I didn't know what to say
I didn't want to act like a fool
But that's exactly how you make me feel around you
A fool who has fallen for you
Baby, it's true, it's true
A smile and a wave was all it took
For me to read you like a book
I finally realized....
It is the way you walk
And it is the way you talk
Definitely, it is the way you look
And I knew why you have gotten me hooked
I just wanted you to know
From your head to your toe
I love everything about you;
The way you wear your beautiful hair
Long, short, I don't even care
And when you flash your lovely smile
That itself, makes my memories worthwhile
And when you speak up with your soft, tender voice
The way you talk make you my number one choice
As you stare across the room with your big bright eyes
dancing, dancing, like a star in the sky
Everything looks so great on you
dress or jeans, you're still my queen
Oh beauty queen,
you're a cut above those actresses on the screen
Never have I seen beauty so real, so true
No such beauty until I saw you
You've got everything: soul, spirit and looks
Oh girl, you've gotten me hooked
Baby, outside and inside;
can you ever be my bride?
Honey, my beauty queen
can I possibly be your king?
So it is the way you walk
And it is the way you talk
It is the way you look
Those are the reasons why you have gotten me hooked
My memories of you are like a lullaby
One that puts me to peaceful sleep, every time
Oh honey, can you just let our love be?
Let whatever happen, and then we'll see
Don't you know that you're a queen?
You just walk right by, and you've made a scene
Cause everyone would turn their heads to look at you
And let me reassure you, it's true, it's true
Maybe I was put here on Earth to do one thing
To let you know that you're a queen while I give you this ring
A ring that'll seal our love and happiness
All you have to do is please say 'Yes'
Everyday I'll remind you how beautiful you look
And why, in the first place, you got me hooked
And when we're still together, old and gray
I remind you that I love you, in every way
Cause I love everything about you, now and forever
And you're my beauty queen, come whenever

I love you for who you are
To me, you are my only star

4.Superman
I wished upon a shooting star
That an angel would fall from above
I have searched both near and far
And finally found true love
Racing against the speed of light
Just to make sure you're alright
Forever fighting kryptonite
Just so I could hold you tight
I will be your superman
If only you were mine
I've loved you since time began
We're part of destiny's design
If the sun ever fails to rise
I'll still be where I am today
If hell rose and touched the skies
I will not be far away
If the ground broke beneath us now
You'll still be safe with me
I promise to never break my vows
That much I can guarantee
I will be your superman
If only you were mine
I've loved you since time began
We're part of destiny's design
I'll continue to fight all your fears
Just to prove that I'm sincere
I will fly with you everywhere
When we land I'll hold you near
If the heavens crashed upon the earth
I'll hold you in my arms
I'll fight for all that you're worth
You will never ever be harmed
I will be your superman
Just reach out for my hand
I've loved you since time began
If only you could understand
5.I Cannot
I cannot love you
when I remember your lies.
I cannot look at you
especially not into your eyes.
I cannot get near you
when I remember your hate.
I cannot get close to you
because now it's too late.
I cannot fall for you again
when I remember the pain.
I cannot allow destiny
to drive me insane.
I must stop lying to myself
when I already know why
I cannot love you,
even if the truth is denied.
Even though I love you
you do not love me in return.
Although I want to see you
the truth my heart has learned.
That's why I cannot love you
because now you are gone.
No longer can I hold you
because from our love you've withdrawn.
I cannot hold you anymore
no matter how much I pray.
I cannot kiss you anymore...
kiss all the pain away.
Now I sit here all by myself
wondering what else I cannot do.
And I realize that I can no longer...
I can no longer love you.
