“But I Won’t Give That . . .”

And I have given away many things for love
But I’d give more from within my soul
All I ever wanted was my love returned
But all they wanted was my soul
But I’ll never forget all the pain within my heart
Oh no . . . I can’t
I could do anything with your love
But I won’t give that,
No, I won’t give
My soul for your love
Although I could do anything with your love
But I won’t give that,
No, I won’t give that.
All my days have not been easy
And this torture has no end
Some days seem not to end at all
True love is no game of pretend
And I have spent many nights alone
Without even a place to call home
Some nights repeat over and over
“Hey, I’ve seen this before!”
“Hey, I’ve done this again!”
I have been labelled crazy
My depression from my diagnosis
Is coming upon me again
I realize that my heart needs your love
No one else can save me, that’s the truth
So long as my heart is beating
So long as the sun keeps burning
You’re my living dream that has come alive!
I do admit it!
I have given away many things for love!
And I’ll be there when the curtain falls
I have given away many things for love!
And all I can create for your prenup and ring
But I’ll never be able to live with myself if you don’t come my way for life.
I could do anything with your love
But I won’t give that,
No, I won’t give that!

I can create anything with your love
I can encase you within a living play
Oh, I can create anything with your love
But I just won’t give that . . .

I can create anything with your love
I can encase you within a living play
Oh, I can create anything with your love
But I just won’t give that . . .
And many days and nights have I been alone
All I wanted was to save your soul
Sometimes I have prayed to God
When I see your face, I create once more
Yes, I am truly alone
Yes, I can create alone
But I don’t ever want to
Without you, my heart’s rose
So long as my heart is beating
So long as the sun keeps burning
You’re my living dream that has come alive!
I do admit it!
I have given away many things for love!
And all I can create I’d give to you in return for that prenup and ring
But I’ll never forgive myself!
My heart refuses to turn the page!
It’s now been many years . . .
I have shed many tears . . .
I could do anything with your love
But I won’t give that,
No, I won’t give that!

I can create anything with your love
I can encase you within a living play
Oh, I can create anything with your love
But I just won’t give that . . .

I can create anything with your love
I can encase you within a living play
Oh, I can create anything with your love
But I just won’t give that . . .

I can’t ever stop dreaming of your love within my life
It’s the absolute truth.

“I’m Dreaming of a COVID Free Christmas.”

I’m dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
Just like the ones we shared before
Where we could freely gather
Without the distance
And celebrate without masks upon our faces

I’m dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
But sadly, there’s not a vaccine in sight
May your health not waiver, that’s right
And may your heart’s joy burn bright

We shall again have a COVID-free Christmas
Times will revert once again back to the past
Where we could freely gather
With each other
And celebrate with smiles upon our faces

We’re dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
Finally, they announced a vaccine for our plight
May it work and not falter
May it freely be given
And may our freedoms again return

Yes, we shall indeed celebrate Christmas
It will again bring joy into our lives
As we stop for a moment
To cherish each other
And forgive others of their misdeeds

Please, let us all celebrate Christmas
If we can forgive, then we shall know peace
So stop all the hatred
And forgive each other
And our children will learn love

I’m dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
Just like the ones we shared before
Where we could freely gather
Without the distance
And celebrate without masks upon our faces

I’m dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
But sadly, there’s not a vaccine in sight
May your health not waver, that’s right
And may your heart’s joy burn bright

We shall again have a COVID-free Christmas
Times will revert once again back to the past
Where we could freely gather
With each other
And celebrate with smiles upon our faces

We’re dreaming of a COVID-free Christmas
Finally, they announced a vaccine for our plight
May it work and not falter
May it freely be given
And may our freedoms again return

It will again bring joy into our lives
As we stop for a moment
To cherish each other
And forgive others of their misdeeds

Please, let us all celebrate Christmas
If we can forgive then we shall know peace
So stop all the hatred
And forgive each other
And our children will learn love

So let us get rid of COVID for this Christmas
So we can return to those we love
For now we must keep our distance
Wearing a mask and practicing cleanliness
And keep the faith within our hearts

We shall get rid of COVID for Christmas
With will unite humanity in the end
For by coming together
And eliminating differences
Common sense would once again reign
