DID LOVE TAKE ITS REVENGE

Did love take its revenge on me
For taking it as something frilly
Taking for granted the feelings of men
Who tried to woo me as a young maiden

To men of distinction I would not nod
Drunk with all the attention I had
But then, is love taking a revenge on me
Now, nobody around, isn't that silly?

Where have all my lovers gone
Is there someone remaining, anyone?

SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS

Sixty-seven years of ups and downs
Floating around with the clowns
Trying to hide all the frowns
In pompous evening gowns

Did I make a difference to the world?
That sometimes seem indifferent and cold
Have I been too selfish and bold
Snatching all the attention I can hold

Was I generous in loving
Have I been kind and giving
Now in my twilight years and grieving
Paying for the wrongs of my own making

LORD STAY ALWAYS IN MY HEART

Lord, stay always in my heart
Tell me you will never depart
That you will give me the strength within
When poverty and loneliness sets in

I will choose poverty to an unchaste life
For you will unburden me through any strife
Lord, remove the loneliness in me
With the promise that someday, thee I will see

LOVE ME EVEN JUST TILL TOMORROW

Love me even just till tomorrow
Let the next day contend with it's sorrow
For today I want to be truly happy
Just for today I want to be with thee

Love me even just till tomorrow
For today let me some happiness borrow
Let the moments bloom with the sun's ray
As "I love you," I hear you say

AM I THE REASON BEHIND

Am I the reason behind
The sunshine in your mind
That cause the light in your eyes
As with a smile my face you surmise

Am I the reason behind
From all adversity you seem blind
Do you feel the same way I do
do you feel a love so true?

READY, NOT READY?

Mirror, mirror...on whom I see
An unsure and confused elderly
Are you willing to take a chance
And exchange your state for romance

Your freedom is something of value
Are you willing to give it up when due
Will you gamble your few remaining days
Not a chance myself, stand alone in all ways

WHEN WILL YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME

When will you say you love me
Although how you feel I can see
Your penetrating eyes reaches my heart
As if begging for a romance to start

Will there be an end to our pretending
And come together someday one sweet evening
Let me hear you whisper you love me
Then together, forever be happy
