Whatever It Is, It’s Yours From Me.

What is love, does anyone know,
What sets it off, what makes it grow,
What keeps it strong, what lets it work,
What kind of tho’t can make it hurt,
What will label it right or wrong,
To whom does the inspiration belong,
What ever the feeling, I hope that it’s good,
It may make you happy, but I know that it should,
The feeling is whatever you want it to be,
So I give it as a gift, to you and from me.

You Were Told.

Unpublished Works, © 1981, BillyPauleyJr.*

You Were Told.

You were told,
Not to see him,
Not to want him,
Not to need him,
Yes, you were told,

You were told,
Not to kiss him,
Not to love him,
And not to miss him,
If he should go,

If he should go,

But you were young,
Yes, you were young,
And you didn't know,

You were told,
Not to touch him,
Not to hold him,
And not to judge him,
Just leave him alone,

Then you were told,
Not to free him,
Not to trust him,
But not to seek him,
If he should go,

If he should go,

But you were young,
Yes, you were young,
And you didn't know,

O', you followed your heart,
To the nearest star,
But you didn't get far,
Before it fell apart,
And just like they owned you,
They started to scold you,
They said they told you,
Ah, but they didn't hold you,

But you were young then,
So very young,
And you didn't know,

Yes, you were young,
So very young then,
And you didn't know.

Completely Gone.

Completely Gone.

I wanna go with you,
On and on,
I wanna go and be,
Completely gone,
I wanna go-go-go,
So deep inside,
Come down and out,
The other side,
Into your clouds,
Above your sky,
Unto your sun,
And moon I’ll fly,
Looking for,
My destiny,
Somewhere in you,
It waits for me,

I wanna go so far,
I start to blend,
I wanna go, just fly,
Into your wind,
I wanna go where you,
Might dare to be,
I wanna go when you,
Can go with me,
Into your clouds,
Above your sky,
Unto your sun,
And moon I’ll fly,
Looking for,
My destiny,
Somewhere in you,
It waits for me,

I wanna go-go-go,
I wanna go so bad,
I wanna have you,
Like you’ve never had,
I wanna go so far,
It’s ever true,
I wanna never stop,
I wanna go with you,
Into your clouds,
Above your sky,
Unto your sun,
I’ll fly-fly-fly,
Under your moon,
It waits for me,
Somewhere in you,
My destiny,

O’, unto your sun,
Unto your stars,
Unto your moon,
Where e’er you are,
I wanna go with you,
On and on,
I wanna go and be,
Completely gone.

Sound Of Silence.

Unpublished Works, © 2000, BillyPauleyJr.*

Sound Of Silence.

There’s a place I want to live forever,
Where I can always count on never,
To keep for me the time of day,
To keep for me my fear away,
Where nature reigns and earth begins,
And there is always green grass in,
My residence,
The sound of silence,

There’s a song I want my heart to know,
That makes no sound outside my soul,
But travels thru’ the waters still,
And comforts me beyond my will,
Where water resonates the wind,
And there is always green grass in,
My residence,
The sound of silence,

There’s a sky I wish to see someday,
That fights the trees to shine my way,
To touch my face and keep me warm,
To save me from my inner storm,
Where skies abound to see me grin,
And there is always green grass in,
My residence,
The sound of silence,

There’s a place where flowers grow,
Where trees stand tall in skies of gold,
Where water runs so still and deep,
Where life is new, where you’ll find me,
Where I can smile until the end,
And there is always green grass in,
My residence,
The sound of silence.

I know the world,
Can be cruel and cold,

But in your distress,
I want you to know,
The world is not your need,

I’m strong enough,
I’ll never let you down, o’, no,

I know the times,
Can hurt you so,
O’, I know they can make you weak,
But in your pain,
I want you to know,
That now is the time is for me,

O’, I’m your friend,
I’ll never end,
I’ll always be around,
I’ll pick you up,
I’m strong enough,
I’ll never let you down, o’, no,

O’, the world can be cruel and cold,
But I want you to always know,
I’ll always be around, o’, yeah,
I’ll never let you down,

O’, I’m your friend,
I’ll never end,
I’ll always be around,
I’ll pick you up,

O’, between you and me,
Precious moments I see,
Will always be around,
O’, I’ll never let you down, o’, no,
I’ll never let you down.
