Please reserve all critiques on contest entries until after Valentine's Day! #################################################################### LOVE IN THE LIGHTS Can you feel the cold hands on your shoulders Hot breath in your ear Do you think anyone will notice us Clinging to passionate fear We can walk through the loneliness naked and scared But on the turn toward love, our souls will be bared Did anyone ever tell you that love is real Being alone is part of the game Can you tell me how you feel, tell me what you think Because all I know is your name We can seek the crossing through to to the other side But when we find what it is we already have, we try to hide CHORUS It seems to me that love was meant for two I've found myself . . . now I have to find you I don't want anymore painful nights I'm just looking for love in the lights Can you hear those steps from the veins to the heart Little more left to say Would you ever considering looking for me Or don't you have a way We can dream for a million sacred nights But love is a high . . . and I'm scared of heights CHORUS It seems to me that love was meant for two I've found myself . . . now I have to find you I don't want anymore painful nights I'm just looking for love in the lights This world is complete, everyone is on fire Time to fade Memories eating away silver linings and shooting stars No rent has been paid We took too long to find new eyes to read But this is the last time I will eat the seed CHORUS It seems to me that love was meant for two I've found myself . . . now I have to find you I don't want anymore painful nights I'm just looking for love in the lights ------------------------------------------- Sig files are bumper stickers for the computer... without the gunky mess when you remove them.
