(M. Reid/A. Shamblin)
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize -
don't patronize me
CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
Love Is Something
Author Unknown
Love is something to share with a wonderful person,and once it's there, you've got to make it last. Love isn't something to be taken for granted. It's something to be nurtured and cared for and caressed. Love can last forever..if you want it to. Love isn't tough and tenatative; It's wonderful and gentle and tender. Love is mysterious, but it asks that you keep no secrets. Love is blind, but it asks that you see how happy it can make you. Love is more like a flower than a tree; The wrong things can hurt it so easily. But the right things can make it more beautiful than anything else your life has ever known. Love is something to be treated as the best of all blessings, And as your own little miracle that will keep coming true...As long as you want it to.
Lifes Greatest Needs
~author unknown~
We rob ourselves of lifes' greatest need
when we lock up our hearts and fail to heed
the outstretched hand reaching to find
a kindred spirit whose heart and mind
are lonely and longing to somehow share
our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
that lifes's completeness and richness depends
on the things we share,with our loved ones and friends.
Purpose of Love
Marianne Williamson, A Woman's Worth
The purpose of love is to find a partner we can grow with, through the barriers that keep love at bay, to the center of the universe that exist inside all of us. Getting past the barriers, those walls that surround our hearts, means hanging around long enough to get a look at what they are.
~ Love ~
Emmet Fox
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world..
~Love Is Not Erased~
~author unknown~
Time cannot erase true love, if it is in your heart,
Even if the ones in love, both have a brand new start.
Many times you fall in love, and situations change,
And parting is a part of life, when life is rearranged.
Many people fall in love, but then they must move on,
But then they realize, they miss the loved one now that's gone.
You seek a life of happiness and try the best you can,
And then move on enjoying life, according to your plan.
But memories are etched within your mind of days gone by,
And memories won't fade away, no matter how you try.
They settle in a special place, within your heart's domain,
And life goes on, but in your heart, it never is the same.
Then sometimes fate allows the paths to intersect again,
Then memories come flooding back, of love that could have been.
Excitement overcomes you, as your heart opens the door,
And now releases feeling, that it kept so long in store.
The love you had is flowing, once again as in the past.
The special place is opened up, and this love flows at last.
But now it is impossible, to share it so complete,
Because your life is on a course, but this love is elite.
Love can come in many ways, when we are unaware,
Love is something in our heart, and something we must share.
Love is pure and innocent, and we must understand,
Love is meant for giving, and receiving if we can.
Love is what the world seeks for, it is a driving force,
It is the element, that keeps the human heart on course.
So if you find that special love, within that special place,
Sharing pure, unselfish love is never a disgrace.
So love the ones who come to you, within that special place,
Even if there is a chance, you'll never see their face.
Share the love you have to give, don't keep it locked inside,
For if it was not truly love, it surely would have died.
So in this life some paths will cross, and maybe cross again,
Never dwell on thoughts of how, your whole life could have been.
Happiness is in the mind, with love the largest part,
And cherish all the moments, with the ones who share your heart.
Love is Never Silent
~author unknown~
A loving heart, a gentle smile,
a warm and tender touch,
We give so many things in life
but nothing means as much.
A little inspiration
when someone loses hope,
A kind word of encouragement
when they no longer seem to cope.
A simple phrase, "I love you"
when no one else is there,
Taking hold onto a hand
in a little heartfelt prayer.
Love Is Never Silent,
It has so much to say,
And it is our greatest blessing
when we give it all away.
Runaway
by: Nadia Brown
If I could runaway I would
I would run so fast
I would not hesitate nor would I look back
I would go far away to another place
Leave everything behind
For then I would not be burden with distress
My mind would be set free
Like a bird soaring in the sky
Free from all my worries and fears
I would not have to face them
I wish I could runaway
Not to escape reality
But to start anew
For then I would have my life again
I would not feel helpless
I wish I could runaway from all the pressures that awaits me
From the adversities that lies ahead
For then I can live in peace
I would not feel bound and hopeless
If I could runaway even if its for a day I would
I have no particular destination just anywhere but here.
Listen To Your Heart
We all want to make things better in our lives,
but lots of times we just don't know where or when to begin.
Sometimes we are troubled about something deep inside,
and we are afraid of dealing with our problems because we've been hurt before,
and we remember what hurt can bring.
Making things better involves changing
but change isn't always such a bad thing.
Life isn't always easy...
no one ever promised it would be.
But it can be wonderful at times,
and it's up to us to make those times happen.
Where?
Beginning within.
When?
With the dawn of each new day.
How?
Listen to your heart...
It will really show you the way.
Our heart can be very fragile.
Yet it can give us the strongest feelings we can possibly feel.
Our hearts don't heal as fast as we want it to heal
but once you open your heart again each wound will seal away.
Listen to your heart with that sixth sense we all posses.
When you do,
it might take you to places you've always only dreamt of.
When you do,
it might lead you to that someone so very special.
Listen to your heart for it speaks in volumes,
for it speaks the language of love.
You Are Here
