The storm clouds are gathering inside my head
I’m far too troubled for sleep in my bed
I’ve got worries on my mind the world’s all bad news
life’s getting me down and I’ve got the blues.
But I know what to do when the feelings all gloom
I’ll put on the stereo and play that tune.
The one by Neil Diamond a favourite of mine
that old little melody called Sweet Caroline.
I’ll listen for a while as the blues drift away
everything’s alright when I hear that music play.
Some time will pass and I’ll be troubled some more
I’ll be wearing a frown bad feelings galore
with worries of life and troubles ahead
my mind full of fear with things that I dread.
So I’ll play that tune again of Caroline so sweet
it always picks me up that special Diamond beat
I’ll listen for a while the dark will turn to light
and all of a sudden things will seem alright.

I Still Love You
Silver shines in my hair and life is a little slower
I see my reflection everywhere and I see I’m getting older.
But I still love you just like before
when I was a younger man waiting at your door
for you to greet me with a kiss and a smile
and just to be with you, for a little while.
Life is now a slow dance, no more quick-step for me
don’t think I’d manage a Tango, a slow waltz it must be.
But I still love you just like before
when I was a younger man on the dance floor
with you in my arms and the music in my ear
young and in love, with the one I held near.
As I get older, there are things that are harder to do
but there is nothing easier than being in love with you.
And I still love you just like before
when I was a younger man just wanting you more
And the future to always be a life of you and me
For there just isn‘t a better place to be.

Close To Me
When I awake from my dreams
on each new day morn
I turn and find you near to me
your body soft and warm.
I take you in my loving arms
and hold you close to me
for I can only face the day
knowing your love for me.
As I go about my days
life’s pressures all around
my thoughts drift back to you
and the love that we have found
I think of when you’re close to me
and all those things you do
till I just want the time to come
when I’m back home with you.
When the day is over
and I’m lying there with you
I take you in my arms again
feeling love for you
our hearts, entwined as one
two lovers in the night
and I will hold you close to me
until the morning light.
