though they are elsewhere on the site here are a couple of old tear-jerkers of mine... you've been warned
Cold, Dark Night
It's a cold, dark night;
And the wind's blowing lightly.
I'm awakened from my dreams.
I look up in the sky,
Wondering why?
Was it really meant to be this way?
Flipping the pages of my memories;
Trying to find happiness...
I can see only sorrow.
As the Rain starts to fall,
I'm praying the phone would ring...
Remembering all night conversations,
And life long expectations...
They all seem to drift away.
I run my fingers through your hair,
Feeling only air.
Sounds of night whispering in my ear...
Songs of passion
Passed through all the ages,
And the wind softly blowing
Just to dry my tears.
You're no longer holding me tight.
It's a cold, dark night.

My Daughter's Eyes
In my daughter eyes I'm a hero,
She can't see my fears.
In my daughter's eyes I'm strong,
She doesn't seem to notice my tears.
In my daughter's eyes I'm always right,
I could never make mistakes.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a genius,
She doesn't see how much it takes.
In my daughter's eyes there's fire,
She's the true hero of this tale.
In my daughter's arms I am strong,
For my love could never fail.
I took a walk with my daughter,
Then she looked into the sky...
The word took long to form within her head,
Then she asked the simple question "Why?"
"Why do the birds fly, Daddy?"
and "Why can't we?"
Then the question that tore through my heart:
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why can't you stay Daddy?
Why must you go away?
Is it that you don't love me?
Is that why you won't stay?"
Looking into her soft round eyes,
I could see past her tears.
The questions, they hung in the air a moment;
She had made me confront my fears.
"Darling" I told her,
"You've got to know just how I feel.
I love you and I'll do all I can,
And this promise is for real."
"There's nothing wrong with you sugar.
It's not that I want to go away.
But I've got another life in another place,
And I not ready to leave it today."
I was shaking as I held her,
How I wished that I could stay.
She had those same tears in her eyes,
When I stepped on the plane to go away.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a hero.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a friend.
In my daughter's eyes the great things I do
For her could never end.
Oh, I wish I were that hero;
And I wish I were that wise.
How I wish that I could Live up to
How i look in my daughter's eyes.
