A Woman's Portrait

 A Woman's portrait hangs on my wall

A shining example of warmth to recall

An Artist impression of infinite Love

Shines down like a light from the wall above

The girl looks at me from the painting

It seems to me that she could be waiting

What is that look? Is it just for Me?

I wonder if anyone else would agree

She has Ruby red lips and piercing Blue eyes

She looks like the girl with secrets to hide

In a lace collar dress and hair band too

What does she think of my point of view?

A Woman's portrait hangs on my wall

A shining example of warmth to recall

An Artist impression of infinite Love

Shines down like a light from the wall above

She reminds me of days of old, long forgotten

Was she dressed for the pose but really downtrodden

I admire the Roses she holds in her hand

elegantly displayed and really quite Grand

I am in awe of the artist whom felt impressed

to find a way to romantically express

Sharing the feelings without seeking success

A Woman's portrait hangs on my wall

A shining example of warmth to recall

An Artist impression of infinite Love

Shines down like a light from the wall above

I doubt that she thought for a moment back then

that the artist would capture her one hundred percent

So many questions unanswered I find

But maybe in dreams they will fill my mind

Her story will remain a mystery to me

With each day I realize her majestic beauty

Portraits and Paintings are ours to behold

Our Imagination the secret of a life untold

Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm

A Woman's portrait hangs on my wall

A shining example of warmth to recall

An Artist impression of infinite Love

Shines down like a light from the wall above

Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm

Loves Embrace

 I love you today as I will Tomorrow

I have loved you forever despite my sorrow

Times have been hard while others were joyous

I sing your name in my life's chorus

Together we stand together in glory

Please stay with me till the end of our story

You make me feel happy as a great healer

while helping others quite the Heart stealer

Holding you close I pray to the gods

To keep us safe against all odds

The Devil himself would feel my wrath

If anything hurt you or crossed our path

You are my world You lift me up

Diminishing darkness with light from your cup

A light from your shadow guides me at night

In days of wonder I cling to your might

Now being with you, never feeling alone

No longer afraid or on my own

Never to be conquered or chained

But feeling secure with love sustained

You are my world You lift me up

Diminishing darkness with light from your cup

A light from your shadow guides me at night

In days of wonder I cling to your might

Times been tough and life unsure

With your love We can experience more

Never to be apart again

always to sing a sweet refrain

The glow of your fire  The warmth of ember 

There forever for us to remember

That life is fleeting but often the heart

Beats as one to be never apart

You are my world You lift me up

Diminishing darkness with light from your cup

A light from your shadow guides me at night

In days of wonder I cling to your might.

You are my world You lift me up

Diminishing darkness with light from your cup

A light from your shadow guides me at night

In days of wonder I cling to your might.

Talking out loud

I Have to go shopping

For Christmas gifts

The one's wrote upon my shopping list

Neatly folded by me again

I'm just tidy and not insane

I cant go out alone anymore

As on my feet a little unsure

Always thinking and talking out loud

Among the holiday season crowd

Its really the same all year long

Its worth a mention in this song

I buy the presents without a struggle

and miss the traffic and kerfuffle

Its not just Christmas

Its New Year too

Its also on Valentines

Sticking Hearts with glue

Even at Easter when a few

Easter bunnies hop in to view

Always thinking and talking out loud

Among the holiday season crowd

Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday

Pancake days served with sugar set in our ways

Mothers Day and St Pats so it goes

Days to celebrate everyone knows

Its really the same all year long

Its worth a mention in this song

I buy the presents without a struggle

and miss the traffic and kerfuffle

A time or a birthday anniversary

St George and dragon or is that just Me

Always thinking and talking out loud

Among the holiday season crowd

April fools for staying in bed

Bank hols and inset days we dread

When winter rears its ugly head

We celebrate all hallows and Christmas ahead

Sorting my list one more time

And maybe next year I might find

No Crowds, crowded buses or parking fine

As will be doing my shopping online.

Its really the same all year long

Its worth a mention in this song

I buy the presents without a struggle

and miss the traffic and kerfuffle

Tra lah lah lah lah la lee

Ce la vie la ce'la vie

Tra lah lah lah lah la lee

Ce la vie la ce'la vie

Always thinking and talking out loud

Among the holiday season crowd

I put it somewhere

 I'm told I cant make up my mind

Really disorganized most of the time

Getting muddled when sorting my stuff

trying my best when things get tough

I put it somewhere easy to find

But did not reckon on losing my mind

It seems I lose everything

Laugh out loud where is my thing?

I try to remember where things are I need

but try as I might hardly ever succeed

If I sit quietly and clear my minds eye

I may then remember where I left my supply

I cannot imagine what where or why

Sitting and flapping like a caught Butterfly

I know that I had what I'm looking for

Bought last week from a brochure

I put it somewhere easy to find

But did not reckon on losing my mind

It seems I lose everything

Laugh out loud where is my thing?

If I don't find it soon! It will cost me again

Barely affordable My Bank it will drains

Its like losing my mind Going insane

I'm getting on like old Father time

Just seem mature like a flute of white wine

One day I'll look back over the years

Old age is here while youths disappeared

I put it somewhere easy to find

But did not reckon on losing my mind

It seems I lose everything

Laugh out loud where is my thing?

A lot to be said for elderly folk

with witty tales and obscene jokes

Sitcoms and comedians cant tell anymore

They wont get the punchline 

that is for sure

No laughter no fun No sign of it

Oh heaven forbid no knowing of wit

I put it somewhere easy to find

But did not reckon on losing my mind

It seems I lose everything

Laugh out loud where is my thing?

So much of life spent wasting time

finding things hidden or

watching true crime

We need more happiness

not trouble nor fear

While still searching for my lost Gear

I put it somewhere easy to find

But did not reckon on losing my mind

It seems I lose everything

Laugh out loud where is my thing?

La la la la lah la dee dah dah

Suffer Fools

 Did you ever wish you were homeward bound

But with no chance of trains around

No other way to make it Home

No car no Bus and all alone

Did You ever have to suffer Fools

and found yourself singing the Blues

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Waking up in the middle of night

just waiting for the Dawns new light

Wishing and hoping you could find a way

of getting home on Christmas day

Did you ever have a birthday wish

sent by card with a kiss

The envelope gave away

the obvious clue for your day

Did You ever have to suffer Fools

and found yourself singing the Blues

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Colored and looking oh so pretty

Made me smile as just for Me

Did you ever queue for a Boxing day deal

did you ever enjoy a restaurant meal

 Candles and Cake, Toast and Cheers

setting up another round of Beers

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Did you ever receive a valentines card

Unsigned delivered and found it hard

To decipher whence from where it came

No clues in the rhyme or even a name

Did You ever have to suffer Fools

and found yourself singing the Blues

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Many times I felt so low

 as all these things would surely show

How many friends and family

 were loving you unconditionally

I made it through my early years

laughed a lot avoided tears

I knew the way to get attention

How to have fun and not to mention

Be different to established norms

And fill out all the Funny Forms

Questions asked always replied

With a laugh out loud while I lied

Did You ever have to suffer Fools

and found yourself singing the Blues

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Never making my way in life

without a worry or with strife

But always walked mile after mile

with a kindness and the broadest smile

Still going and now looking back

A little unsure since a heart attack

nether the less I will keep on 

Banging the drum while singing my song.

Did You ever have to suffer Fools

and found yourself singing the Blues

If this sounds familiar to you

Well aren't you lucky in your shoes

Gimme Give Me More good News

Keep me walking in these shoes

 

Kisses n Hugs

A Whirlwind just blew in

Came through the Door like a Hurricane

We always think we are up for this

 But really our lives are in a twist

Full of Beans and Laughter too

We wonder what will happen to

We watch intensely for things to start to move

These little guys run about in a crazy Groove

Kisses and Hugs are really cool

Meeting You both from outside school

But only when its pouring of rain

Joking Boys See You in Spain.

They play awhile letting Mum and Dad

Enjoy their Sunday Roast

Its not the kids best of food

They'd rather Jam on Toast

A sandwich of Jam with no crust

A drink of Juice if they must

We are getting far to old for all the noise like clappers

Opening up of pick n mix and throwing of those wrappers

Kisses and Hugs are really cool

Meeting You both from outside school

But only when its pouring of rain

Joking Boys See You in Spain.

One day we hope to be the winner

and they will sit and eat our dinner

Fun with Lego paper and pens

We tidy up and make amends

while we do it we say a prayer

please take them home or anywhere

Rushing round doing dishes

Grandma snaps her wishbone wishes

Not this time to be so lucky

These kids are like a version of chucky

Kisses and Hugs are really cool

Meeting You both from outside school

But only when its pouring of rain

Joking Boys See You in Spain.

Nannie fights to put toys away

But tiny terrorist just wanna stay 

They have their own idea

while we freeze with fear

 Finally home time comes

waving off our terrible chums

Grab the coats hats and boots

See You soon! We had a hoot

Come back soon but not too soon

Give us a chance to write this tune.

Kisses and Hugs are really cool

Meeting You both from outside school

Kisses and Hugs are really cool

Meeting You both from outside school

But only when its pouring of rain

Joking Boys See You in Spain.

But only when it pouring a rain

Joking Boys See You in Spain.

We could do the Strand

D.J play my request,

 so I don't have to second guess

When I approach the wall flower

 looking my best

Play Love is the Drug and give me the chance

To ask this Beauty for a dance

 Love is the Drug I hear you say

This is it let the intro play

 Love maybe the drug but its not enough

I can sense her shyness its making it tough

I walk over to her and take her hand

And lead her over to the big bandstand

let me unlock your heart with a key

 Dance to Roxy Music with Me

Lets do the Strand and the Stroll

Virginia Plain meet Tokyo Joe

The Bogus Man now on the run

Jive with me honey lets have fun

Your raising the heat of my hearts desire

Sensational Girl set my body on fire

There must be a thousand just like me 

whom want your love and pretty body

to embrace you would be the epitome

 of feeling loved and really free

We could do the Strand

Stroll hand in Hand

Take a little leisure

For your pleasure

Walk with Me and babe you'll hear

Street life sounds for you my dear

At the end of the night

before they turn on the light

Dance with me Virginia Plain

Mr D.J wont you play Roxy Music again

Love is the drug, do you agree

Do the Strand and Stroll with me

Please make Me happy, love is the key

Dance to Roxy Music with Me

We could do the Strand

Stroll hand in Hand

To Bryan and his band

Walk with Me and baby you'll see

Street life sounds from seventy three.

Are you the kind of girl who can Jive all Night

To the rock n roll sound of this flight tonight

Would You cruise along to the Roxy Sound

Be my ladytron if there is something to be found

let me unlock your heart with a key

 Dance to Roxy Music with Me

Lets do the Strand and the Stroll

Virginia Plain meet Tokyo Joe

Take me home pour the wine

get me tipsy anytime

Kiss me honey flirt with me

Let me taste your  Sweet Honey

There must be a thousand just like me 

whom want your love and pretty body

to embrace you would be the epitome

 of feeling loved and really free

We could do the Strand

Stroll hand in Hand

To Bryan and his band

Walk with Me and baby you'll see

Street life sounds from seventy three.

Yeah yeah yeah walk home with me

Walk with Me and babe you'll see

Street life sounds from seventy three

La la la la la lalala lee

Feeling the Love of Seventy Three.
