How can we explain how love comes in our lives?
For some its fate or a goal for which they've strived
And some would say its the beat of angel wings
That blow the winds of change that love can bring.
To bring to hearts together in romance
From this vast world of chance and circumstance
A million souls all searching for a home
That's larger than this world when we're alone.
Some fractured walls of shattered stained-glass panes
A heart attacked swears not to trust again
And so love falls once more and takes the blame
For reckless lovers acting in love's name.
Rebuilding hearts and patching up the seams
Requires stuff made up of love and dreams
And hugs, and touch, and vowing to forgive
All this, and more, just may let you're love live.
And so it goes, the journey of our lives
Of lovers, friends, of husbands and of wives
Some work on love or work to make it gone
And make love homeless or give their love a home.

What was her fantasy?
What were those things that seemed to fill her mind?
And what was her life to be?
Was she to sigh and dream away her time?
In the night she always got to hold you
In the night
And feel her arms around you
In the night
What a dream, what a dream, what a very special, tender dream.
And how would she start her day?
She'd go and search the places where you'd be.
And how would she end her day?
She'd go home sad and tired and lonely.
In the night she always got to hold you
In the night
And feel her arms around you
In the night
What a dream, what a dream, what a very special dream.
Sometimes we live our lives in happiness
We need not live our lives in dream
Sometimes we live our lives in loneliness
And then how real those dreams can seem.
'Cause in night she always got to hold you
In the night
And feel her arms around you
In the night
What a dream, what a dream, what a very special, tender dream.

In the morning light
Would it be alright, my love?
To hold you tight
In the morning light, my love
In morning light, my love, my dear
In the morning light.
Would you be surprised
If I kissed your eyes?
Then down to your lips
Right down to your fingertips
In the morning light, my dear
In the morning light, my love.
In the morning light
Would it be alright, my love?
To hold you tight
In the morning light, my love
In morning light, my love, my dear
In the morning light.

Dream Love by John Agacki
Never been so long without you
Things just weren't the same without you
Everywhere I went I wished that you were there.
Going out just made me lonely
Wished that somehow if you only
Could have been there with me all of these good times we'd share
Been about a year together
Gone through fine and stormy weather
Found that life is so much better when you are near.
As I lay in bed alone, I dreamed love
You were lying there right next to me
As I lay awake at night, I worried love.
Were getting on alright?
Did you sleep alone at night?
Then the telephone would ring
And that would cure most everything 'cause
I would hear your voice and know that you were my love.
Then my foolish thoughts would shame me
You're so pretty can you blame me?
There's so many who love to be your love.
But you've come back safely home
And for awhile you will not roam
I'll enjoy the time we'll have to share our love.
I'm so happy that I've found you
Want to keep my arms around you
Want to share life's journey's with you
Dream love, dream love, dream love, dream love.

Dancing My Life With You by John Agacki
I've been thinking about the times we've spent love
Thinking 'bout all the places that we've been
I've been thinking about the times we've spent love
Thinking 'bout all the loving that I've seen.
All the things that we do
All the things we've been through
Want to go on dancing my life with you.
I remember the days before we met love
Doing things, but doing them all by myself.
I remember the nights before we met love
Having dreams I could share with nobody else.
But the sun has shone through
Since the day we were two
Want to go on dancing, romancing, enhancing my life with you.

I Don't Want You To Go by John Agacki
I don't want you to go
Oh, I'd rather you'd stay
It's been so long, you know
Once you go away
I think you're finally reaching the love
That I hold deep inside
I think you're reaching the soul
That I wanted to hide.
You made it clear from the start
That you didn't own me
And that you wanted a love that was simple and free
So I know that the day may come
When you might set me free
And I'll move on in life
With some fine memories.
But for now anyway, things seem to be quite alright
We make love night or day
And sleep peaceful at night
I think I'm finally reaching
The love you hold deep inside
I think I'm reaching the soul
That you wanted to hide
I don't want you to go.

Thank God, We're Together Again by John Agacki
Thank God, we're together again!
Thank God, for the dream
Of a life with your love!
Thank God, we're together again!
Sometimes I take my loving for sure
Never give it a second thought when you walk out the door
You might not come home
Leaving me all alone
Leaving me to fend for myself
In a world without your love.
Thank God, we're together again!
Your picture hung above my bed
I tried to sleep at night
But tossed and turned instead
Then you spoke to me:
"Sleep peacefully, though I am miles away
I'll come home. Just let it be."
Thank God, we're together again.
So place your hand in mine
We'll lead the dreamers
We'll make the heavens shine
Upon the souls that have no love.
Thank God, we're together again!
Thank God, for the dream
Of a life with you love!
Thank God, we're together again!

We Will Make Love
by John Agacki
Well, you ask me if my wandering is done
Or if ever I'll chance to go wandering again?
Well, it's true I've felt inklings now and then.
But enough of that now, your love is here
And I will stay with you for many a year
Because your love I hold quite dear.
So rest your head gently upon my chest
We both are quite tired and needful of rest
But when we awake, we will be strong
And we will make love the whole day long, my love
Yes, we will make love the whole day long, my dear.
Well, you ask me if I'll ever leave
If ever I'll give you occasion to grieve?
Well, no better loving have I ever received.
But enough of that now, your love is here
And I will stay with you for many a year
Because your love I hold quite dear.
So rest your head gently upon my chest
We both are quite tired and needful of rest
But when we awake, we will be strong
And we will make love the whole day long, my love
Yes, we will make love the whole day long, my dear.
Well, you ask me if I'll take you as wife
To shield you from danger, protect you from strife?
Well, sure I will darling. You’re the love of my life.
But enough of that now, your love is here
And I will stay with you for many a year
Because your love I hold quite dear.
So rest your head gently upon my chest
We both are quite tired and needful of rest
But when we awake, we will be strong
And we will make love the whole day long, my love
Yes, we will make love the whole day long, my dear.

Always by John Agacki
When first we met, the tears swelled in my eyes
Is the love I've longed for all my life?
Can this be true? Can this be happening?
But you looked at me and your eyes said it all.
They said: Always, I'll always be around
Always, all through our ups and downs
Always.
Though you never made a sound
Your eyes said: always.
And as time passed two hearts grew into one
And then I knew, I'd met my only one
This was the love I searched for all my life
And you took my hand and you helped me understand
Our hearts said: Always, we'll always be around
Always all through our ups and downs
Always, though we never made a sound
Our hearts said: always.
And now we stand, becoming man and wife
And take a vow beginning our new life
This is the love we've longed for all our lives
And will give a kiss and our kiss will tell us this
It will say: Always, surpassing distant time
Always, forever, love sublime
Always, our souls will intertwine
They shall be always. We shall be always.

Paradise Lost
by John Agacki
I thought I'd found a special place
Where I'd found refuge from the race
Like an oasis from all care
I thought I found my true love there.
And so it was for quite some time
I thought I'd found a love sublime
We laughed and shared our special love
As if it were made from above.
But one day from another shore
Someone came knocking at our door
You both had sparkles in your eyes
That burned the place where my love lies.
Twas at that moment that I knew
It never would be just us two
And though your loving has been kind
I had to leave this all behind.
So like a sea bird who's set free
I take my flight above the sea
And leave this island made of sand
To find a perch of heart and hand.

Sad-urday Night
by John Agacki
I feel so lonely
On this Sad-urday night
And time seems to drag
Like a river
Past my life.
We'd go eat Sushi
And hootchie-kootchie
We'd go out dancing on a Saturday night
But you don't phone now
I'm all alone now
I get the feeling that something ain't right.
That's why I'm lonely
On this Sad-urday night
So I'll just pour another martini
And make things right
I'll just pour another martini
And just get tight.

Down At The Palace
by John Agacki and Johnny Johnson
Down at The Palace at quarter to two
Sitting there drinking
I had had quite a few
Sifting through memories
I was thinking of you
Letting my life, letting my life go
Letting the world, letting the people know.
I had to forget you
And leave this behind
I had to find someone
Who could give peace of mind
But that sort of person
Is so damn hard to find
I was letting my life, letting my life go
Letting the world, letting the people know.
We had all these plans
Then you said we were through.
How could you treat me so cruel?
So every night I sit on this barstool
Just letting my life, letting my life go
Letting the world, letting the people know.
I got up to leave
With my head held up high
But staggered and stumbled
Into each passerby
Wiping the tears as they fell from my eyes
I was letting my life, letting my life go
Letting the world, letting the people know.

Time For Me To Fly
by John Agacki
Time for me, for me to fly
I've been hanging on to hope too long
Time for me, for me to fly.
I won't change
This I know
I love you, but he won't go
He still lives there in your heart
Guess I knew that from the start.
You won't change
This I know
You still miss him and it shows
You hang on to memories
You won't let your mind get free.
Time for me, for me to fly
Time for me to get on with my life
Time for me, for me to fly.
When we love, he's still there
I can feel him everywhere
When we cuddle, when we kiss
Is it his touch that you miss?
When I'm gone, he'll be there
He'll be hanging in the air
Thought my love would change your mind
Time to leave this all behind.
Time for me, for me to fly
Time for me to get on with my love
Time for me, for me to fly
Time for me, for me to fly
And I will fly. Time for me, for me to fly

Loveless Romance
by John Agacki
Well, he don't really love you
But you can't let him go
'Cause whatcha got is better
Than what you don't know
So your heart and your mind
Learn to do this strange dance
Of going in circles in a loveless romance.
Well, there must have been love once
Or so it would seem
A foundation built on the clouds of love's dreams
But when you come to your senses
And out of love's trance
You find you've been living in a loveless romance.
Well, it's a comfortable rut
We can dig for ourselves
And the deeper we dig
Our dreams stay on the shelf
Till they're out of our reach and we cannot enhance
The bottomless pit of a loveless romance.

Blues Go Away
by John Agacki
Oh, blues go away! Don't bother me!
'Cause I got somebody who really loves me
And I don't need your tears or your sympathy
Oh, blues go away and let go of me.
You always were there when I really was down
When I was at my worst you were always around
Its true you have been my best bad weather friend
But right now I sure hope I don't see you again.
So blues go away I'm setting you free
There's others in need of your sad company
Someone sure needs you now and it sure isn't me
So blues find your way to your next misery
Now the sun it is shining so bright in the sky
And its nice to not have all those tears in my eyes
Up above there's this beautiful blue
Not the grays and the darkness that I got from you!
So please go away and just let me be!
I don't need you now and you sure don't need me.
And I'm making you blue from the loving you see
So blues go away!
Yeah, blues go away!
Oh, blues go away! I'm setting you free!
Oh blues, go away!
Oh, blues, go away!
Oh, blues, go away! I'm setting you free!
