Take Me (I'm Yours)

Take Me (I'm Yours)

I don’t know where life’s going to take me

don’t know if life will take you from me

or take me

from you

I do know

I want to take this life in stride

take it one day at a time

seize every moment

share them with you

I may take it for granted

the sun will rise tomorrow

but I won’t take it for granted

you’ll be there when it does

with those kisses, the smile that lights

any room you’re in

(you have so many of them

I want to be there to see

so many, many more)

An astronomer spends so many nights

staring at the stars

he forgets that once they called to him

like a lover to her bed

But I, I’m still amazed

every step I take moves me closer

to another dance with you

and I, I won’t make promises

because if you just wait you’ll see

always looking for constellations

in the stars in your eyes

is just part of being me

I don’t know where life will take me

but I’d like to see if maybe it’d consider

bringing you along

and I don’t  know where life will take you

but I’d like it to consider

taking me along

(if there’s a ride, let’s ride it

if there’s a path, let’s walk it

if there’s a boat, let’s sail it

if there’s a song, let’s dance it

if there’s a chance, let’s take it

take it, let’s take a chance together

take me

I’m yours)

One Word

One word

a term without terms

no contracts, just unconditional

love, love, love.

One word

all we’re all really searching for

is someone to sing to

with love, love, love.

One word

could be a panacea

if we’d all place our faith

in the right place

in love, love, love.

One word

is all you need

cause even God believes

in love, love, love.

One word

is all you need

cause even God believes

in love, love, love. 

Trespasses (Kiss Me)

Give me that trespass

so sweetly urged

and when you’re through

we’ll take a moment to breathe

and I, I’ll give it back to you

I’m not much for praying

but if we can

let lips do what hands do

I think I could happily

spend my life praying with you

Let’s stay in this moment

there’s no better scene

let’s draw the curtains

play out the whole thing

where you and I will never be seen

If you’re not certain

then you play the saint

and by your lips I’ll purge my sin

if you’re discontent

with my sins on your lips

I confess

I’m ready and eager for you

to give me my sin again

Don’t go when you’re called

stay, Juliet, stay

starstruck not starcrossed

and we’ll never care

whether a nightingale's or lark’s song

fills the bright morning air.

Let’s be in this moment

there’s no better scene

let’s draw the curtains

play out the whole thing

where you and I will never be seen

Give me that trespass

so sweetly urged

and when you’re through

we’ll take a moment to breathe

and I, I’ll give it back to you
