WHEN I'M WITH YOU

When I am alone

The music of the night ...plays an eerie tune

There's no harmony

No chorus of beauty...like when I'm with you

The sound's much sweeter

I know it's hard to believe...oh, but it's true

Ah...When I'm with you

I absorb the melody that's flowing through

~~~*Chorus*~~~

With You

I live the jazz and blues

Creating power...reaching deep desires

A beating soul ...nurturing the fire

Nothing tears me down

It can't break through

When I'm with you

~~*~~

When I am alone

I am lost in the discarded mess of life

It's a tangled trail

I have fallen, and I've wasted precious time

I know you'll find me

The sureness of your arms...always leads me home

Ah, there is no shame

I willingly beg don't leave me alone

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

With You

I live the rock and roll

Playing hard... pushing past the limits

Not growing old

A pounding soul...igniting the fire

Nothing tears me down

It can't break through

When I'm with you

~~*~~

Yes a path is carved

When we merge I feel the symphony begin

Pivots on the wind

Instead of falling...I'm dancing once again

When I am alone

The fear I've always hated... stands like a stone

Intimidated

With the songs of doubt leaving the music cold

~~~*3rd Chorus*~~~

With You

Life is a country tune

You've got my back...I know where I stand

Love shining true

A tender soul blanketing the fire

Nothing tears me down

It can't break through

When I'm with you

~~*~~

Leaving me alone...

Is such a hellish tune

I need the music...

The music of you

~~*~~
