I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love,
I love you more than money and more than the stars above,
Love you more than madness, more than dreams upon the sea,
Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete,
I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street,
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun,
I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give,
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole,
I love you more than ever and it binds me to the soul
You gave me friendship, gave me love what is more, you saved my life,
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife,
My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie,
I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth,
We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth,
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood,
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
It's never been my duty to remake the world at large,
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge,
'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend,
And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.
It's easy to see that you were born to be here by my side
And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride,
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece...
And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see,
Just bein' next to you is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go, no matter what life brings on,
'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
The Old Man
The tears have all been shed now
we´ve said our last goodbyes
His souls been blessed
He's laid to rest ... And it´s now I feel alone
He was more than just a father
A teacher my best friend
He can still be heard... In the tunes we shared
When we play them on our own
I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
As a boy he'd take me walking
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colors of the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
And teach how to fish and make a wish
Beside the Holly Tree
I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly...And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance...To tell him thanks
For everything he's done
I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone....Memories linger on
And I miss him... God I miss him...the old man.
