(Forever) My Blue Valentine.

NineOneOne took your life away,
And left me so all alone,
I cannot breathe in this lonely space,
We used to call our home,
And the world keeps pressing forward,
Leaving me far behind,
How can I ever love again,
In my heart there’s a blue valentine,

O’, I cannot go on since I lost you,
And I cannot go back in time,
You’re my soul,
You’re my heart,
You’re my hopes,
You’re my dreams,
And now, forever my blue valentine,

I have never known such destruction,
I have never lost so much,
I never tho’t I’d find myself,
Trying to remember your touch,
But there you are up in heaven,
And here I am in my hell,
More hearts were broken on NineOneOne,
Than stories will ever tell,

O’, I cannot go on since I lost you,
And I cannot go back in time,
You’re my soul,
You’re my heart,
You’re my hopes,
You’re my dreams,
And now, forever my blue valentine,

O’, there’s talk of eventual healing,
There’s hope from those who don’t know,
What love was like between you and I,
What leaves me so all alone,
NineOneOne took your life away,
And left me so all alone,
I cannot breathe in this lonely space,
We used to call our home,
And the world keeps pressing forward,
Driving me out of my mind,
How can I ever love again,
In my heart there’s a blue valentine,

O’, I cannot go on since I lost you,
And I cannot go back in time,
You’re my soul,
You’re my heart,
You’re my hopes,
You’re my dreams,
And now, forever my blue valentine,

O’, you’re my soul,
You’re my heart,
You’re my hopes,
You’re my dreams,
And now, forever, o’, ‘ever,
O’, yeah, now forever,
Forever my blue valentine.

Calm In the Storm.

Calm In The Storm.

When fear is strong in the wind,
And clouds are dark in the sky,
When an age comes to an end,
Losers often cry,
But I lie in my window,
Face in the pane,
Breathing fresh air,
From the falling rain,
And a song inside my soul remains,
Singing a sweet refrain,

O’ when the lightening strikes and the thunder roars,
When the wind and the water crush on the shore,
Beyond the tragedy in this world,
The sun is still as warm,
And my trust in God gives me,
Calm in the storm,

When pain is strong in the heart,
And life is dark in the mind,
When a love comes to an end,
Lovers often cry,
But I lie in my window,
Facing the pain,
Breathing despair,
From the fall in reign,
And a song inside my soul remains,
Singing a sweet refrain,

O’ when the lightening strikes and the thunder roars,
When the wind and the water crush on the shore,
Beyond the tragedy in this world,
The sun is still as warm,
And my trust in God gives me,
Calm in the storm,

O’, my faith in God gives me,
Calm in the storm,

Yes, there’s a rainbow in the sky,
Hope beyond the pain,
Love beyond demise,

With God, trust and faith,
Calm in the storm.

Just To Make You Mine.

I’m gonna find your heart,
If I have to give up sleep,
If disappointment tears me apart,
And lays me at your feet,
Cupid made his mark,
Deep inside of me,
So I’m gonna find your heart,
And keep it endlessly,

Yeah, I’m gonna find your heart,
If that’s all I can do,
I may not be smart,
But I sure know I want you,
I know who you are,
And you’re one of a few,
So I’m gonna find your heart,
To keep my whole life thru’,

I’ve been talking to myself,
And staying up all night,
I’m not doing very well,
But I’m not giving up the fight,
You say that I’ll fail,
And you just may be right,
But I would go thru’ hell,
Just to make you mine,

O’ and I’m gonna find your heart,
So everyone will know,
That someday love will start,
And it will overflow,
‘Cos the love that will be ours,
Will only grow and grow,
So I’m gonna find your heart,
To keep so you won’t go,

Yeah, I’m gonna find your heart,
To make you understand,
That I would travel far,
Just to hold your hand,
I’ll take you to a star,
And catch you when you land,
So I’m gonna find your heart,
And keep it if I can,

I’ve been talking to myself,
And staying up all night,
I’m not doing very well,
But I’m not giving up the fight,
You say that I’ll fail,
And you just may be right,
But I would go thru’ hell,
Just to make you mine,

O’ I’m gonna find your heart,
If I have to give up sleep,
I’m gonna find your heart,
If it brings me to my knees,
O’ I’m gonna find your heart,
If it makes a fool of me,
Yeah, I’m gonna find your heart,
Just you wait and see,

I’ve been talking to myself,
And staying up all night,

Just to make you mine,

And I want you here with me,

O’, yeah, I’m gonna find your heart,

Perfect Dreams.

Unpublished Works, © 2006, BillyPauleyJr.*

Perfect Dreams.

He’s not unstable,
Not dangerous,
He’s just a fable,
Of perfect love,
In his mind,
It has to be,
But love is blind,
In reality,

O’, he can tell you about perfect dreams,
About perfect life and perfect love,
And how it seems,
But he can’t tell you what makes it so,
‘Cos in his life and in his love,
He’s never known,

His writing breathes,
Into your soul,
But he can’t read,
The truth he’s told,
He cannot label,
Right and wrong,
He’s just unable,
Outside his song,

O’, he can tell you about perfect dreams,
About perfect life and perfect love,
And how it seems,
But he can’t tell you what makes it so,
‘Cos in his life and in his love,
He’s never known,

He’s not unreal,
But yet it seems,
He cannot feel,
His perfect dreams,
His soul is dry,
Like desert rain,
No tears to cry,
Inside his pain,

O’, he can tell you about perfect dreams,
About perfect life and perfect love,
And how it seems,
But he can’t tell you what makes it so,
‘Cos in his life and in his love,
He’s never known,

Yes, he can tell you of perfect dreams,
The way it truly ought to be,
But what he is, is not what he seems,
He’s far from perfect,
He’s more like me,

O’, he’s far from perfect,
He’s only me.

Celebrity Sadness.

Celebrity Sadness.

What is my name,
How big was my loss,
Who do I blame,
Who do I not,
What did I know,
When was it real,
What do I think,
How do I feel,

Like celebrity sadness,
In a media game,
Like a flying circus,
With my famous pain,
Like a picture of hurt,
In a timeless frame,
Like celebrity sadness,
In a media game,

What will I do,
Where will I go,
When will I tell,
Why don’t I know,
Who do I trust,
Do I believe,
Which way is up,
What do I see,

I see celebrity sadness,
In a media game,
Like a flying circus,
With my famous pain,
Like a picture of hurt,
In a timeless frame,
Like celebrity sadness,
In a media game,

When will I sleep,
Why won’t I try,
Did I know that day,
Was our last goodbye,
What won’t they ask,
Where is their shame,
Why do they pry,
Why don’t they pray,

It’s celebrity sadness,
In a media game,
Like a flying circus,
With my famous pain,
Like a picture of hurt,
In a timeless frame,
Like celebrity sadness,
In a media game,

O’, yeah, there’s a madness,
When there’s footage to gain,
Like celebrity sadness,
In a media game,

O’, my celebrity sadness,
Is a media game.

She Doesn't Know.

Unpublished Works, © 1994, BillyPauleyJr.*

She Doesn't Know.

There's a star in the sky,
Like the love I have for her,
A far, twinkling light,
So much larger than Earth,

O', and if only she knew,
I am there, loving her so,
Ah, but she doesn't know,
She only sees all the love I can show,
And so she doesn't know,

Where all understanding is gone,
Where only faith can go on,
I am there, loving her so,
Ah, but she doesn't know,

There's a wave out on the sea,
Like the love I have for her,
A shallow consistency,
Hiding a deeper stir,

O', and if only she knew,
I am there, loving her so,
Ah, but she doesn't know,
She only sees all the love I can show,
And so she doesn't know,

Where all understanding is gone,
Where only faith can go on,
I am there, loving her so,
Ah, but she doesn't know,

O', where all understanding is gone,
I am there, loving her so,

Where only faith can go on,
I am there, loving her so,

Loving her deeply,
Loving her sweetly,
Ah, but she doesn't know.
