My Last Seranade to You

You said forever.
And everytime I said it back.
But I meant forever.
At the time you were all I had.

But you stopped speaking to me.
It broke my frail heart.
Why couldn't I see,
That was only the start?

The start of a long line of tears,
That were all caused by you.
Now fabricated were my fears,
And that was my que.

My que to start a new search,
For a soul mate of my own.
To fly from my pearch,
And make my needs be known.

So I began to look around,
For a guy who wouldn't leave me.
And soon I lost my frown,
And found the man that set me free.

He was everything I needed,
All my hopes and dreams.
And with his heart my heard pleaded,
And he became supreme.

I guess it's like they say,
One man's trash is another's treasure.
And so I know today,
That you leaving was my pleasure.

You Don't Know What You've Got Till it's Gone

I've always heard,
I heard as a little girl,
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Something was right in front of me,
Arms length away.
But when I reached out for it,
It was already to late.
And I look at myself in the mirror and wonder,
Who I've become today.
And so I ask myself,
"why doesn't it get better, even though I pray?"
And all I'm thinking in my head is,
I need you to stay.

Because....
You are my everything.
You are my heart.
You bear my suffering.
You set me free.
You make my heart sing.
You make me smile.
You scare my tears away.
So why don't you stay awhile?

Something was right in front of me,
Arms length away.
But when I reached out for it,
It was already to late.
And I look at myself in the mirror and wonder,
Who I've become today.
And so I ask myself,
"why doesn't it get better, even though I pray?"
And all I'm thinking in my head is,
I need you to stay.

All I know right now is that I love you.
All I know right now is that I need you.
All I know right now is that I want you.
All I know right now is that my future is you.

You're the only thing that keeps the tears away.
The only thing that makes my body sway.
You're the one who keeps my heart away,
From everything that tries to lead it astray.

Something was right in front of me,
Arms length away.
But when I reached out for it,
It was already to late.
And I look at myself in the mirror and wonder,
Who I've become today.
And so I ask myself,
"why doesn't it get better, even though I pray?"
And all I'm thinking in my head is,
I need you to stay.

The Beat of my Heart

It'd be a cruel thing to leave me,
Cuz you know I'd die alone.
Because you're the only person,
That my heart has truly known.

It's in the beat of my heart,
The way I need you.
Just take a listen and you'll know.
It's in the beat of my heart,
The way I'd miss you.
If you left me cuz you know...
It's in the beat of my heart,
My heart beats faster,
Everytime I see you don't you know?

And sometimes I wonder,
What it would be like if I haden't met you.
I know it'd be dark and sad and unfullfilling.

Oooh it's in the beat of my heart,
It's in the rythem of my steps,
It's in the glitter of my eye,
Oh my my my,
IT's in my everything.

It's in the beat of my heart,
The way I need you.
Just take a listen and you'll know.
It's in the beat of my heart,
The way I'd miss you.
If you left me cuz you know...
It's in the beat of my heart,
My heart beats faster,
Everytime I see you don't you know?

And everyday I think to myself,
I'm glad you're mine.
Cuz you're amazing,
And in my eyes you shine.
And I wanna lay by you,
For the rest of time.
