about

I wrote a love song to a person I hadn't met yet.

lyrics

Secret Smile

Darlin’, I want to see you now

Darlin’ I missed you

Do you keep a secret smile,
A secret smile for me?



Monday was my Birthday

This year, I was searching

Will you let me hold you?

Will you let me have you for a while?



And I pray for a miracle

And I try to be sensible

If you’re out there.

The TV, so insincere

It’s just a night light, as I’m thinking

Should I travel far away?
Should I wait just one more day for you?



And if I cry at the movies

Will you still think I was manly?
If you’re out there.

Solo



Lonely, that was yesterday

Only, just a thought away.
If we should come to paradise
Do we say goodbye to our old lives… again ?



And in the age of the big millennium.

And in the age of Olympic.

The age of defacto.

And in the age of a ‘no show’.

This is the age of a super shopping mall

And in between all these empty walls.



Are you out there ?
