I Will Keep You up Forever

I want you to keep me up forever
I want that too
And I will
Your heart I will fill
I started when we met
Fed you some more at the dinner table
Not only food
Started to tell the fable
I told you once there was no limit to my love
It is sent from above

You keep asking me what’s on my mind
Reminds me of another one in a different time
She was the only one I ever remember asking
When we’re together I think of her
Because her signs are everywhere
The special notes to show she cares
You own her favorite movie
The one we watched on our first date
We always thought was great
Our favorite soundtrack
We played to drown out our lips smack
When I sleep
She still haunts my dreams
I wake up and want to scream
Why do you do this to me!
The script of a bad movie
But, this is what is happening to me

You are the sun
You are a tiger
Perhaps the most fearsome fighter
I will hold you
And love you forever
In every kind of weather
But, I wonder...
Is my heart still beating for Eva?
I didn’t want to tell you this
But I can’t hide it either
You know what’s on my mind
Perhaps you have seen her

It’s been over between us for more than a decade
But to me yesterday, we were at the arcade
You told me you want to be loved
I said we all do
I wish for me now that was true
Cause I’m in love with a ghost
A phantom
Simply a memory
Everyday I try and break free
So I can let someone else love me
Like you
It is not fair what I do
Especially to you
And I am tired of hurting two
I’d rather it just be me
Since that is the way that it seems best to be

I’ve lived with a broken heart
For so long
It is basically my heart song
I know that tune well
That’s fine I’ll live in hell
Been living here for years
Drown my sorrow in beers
Swallow my own tears

I’ve seen and done things I wish to forget
Not that I regret
But everything says these messages are Heaven sent
I don’t even understand them right away
But I know they are part of the play
Who knows when
But someday
Until I can exorcise her out
I am sure you will feel doubt
I don’t want you to feel this way
I want for you
Only beautiful days
Basking in your own golden rays
I know they are there
Baby, I do care
But I’m the problem
I have been in that role
Since I promised the Lord I will do as I am told

Baby, you’re special
I am so glad I met you
And I am sad I cannot give you
What you deserve
I hope to send you one
Who will serve
Who will honor you
Most importantly love you too
