If a teardrop can make a ripple in a lake

If a raindrop can make a hole -
when it lands in a dessert or on a plain...
if a dewdrop can revive the grass and the plants -
before the morning sun is high up in the sky...
if a teardrop can make a ripple -
when it falls on the face of a pool or lake...
then i know that you can hear my voice in a crowd -
like a song in the silence of the night...
and i know that you'll know what i wish to say -
from the look in the dark pools of my eyes...
and i know that your love is steadfast and true -
when i see that little twinkle as you look me in the eye...

"I cried a tear"

"I cried a tear - you wiped it dry;
i was confused - you cleared my mind..."
yes, you have always been there for me -
when i'm feeling sad or feeling down...
you've always brushed away the teardrop -
and made me laugh, before the next teardrop falls...
you've been all that i have and ever will -
my pillar of strength, and my pool of joy...
you've given me hope, when times are bad -
and made me happy, when life's a drag...

So stay with me, and never wander off too far -
for i would always love to keep you in sight, be it near or far...
i would never tire of tracing your footsteps, in the mud or sand -
and wait for the day when we could leave two sets of footprints, in the sand...

I know, and i understand

When a relationship breaks up -
someone has to suffer the heartbreaking news...
when a relationship breaks up -
it's not easy to be happy when another is heart broken...
for though a lukewarm relationship has to come to a final end -
the pain of losing a loved one is never easy to bear...
coz all kinds of tiny little somethings -
bring back nostalgic memeories that remind you of him...

i know and i do understand the pain and sorrow -
coz i do feel for you and share your pain...
when a beautiful dream vapourised and all that is left -
are just beautiful memories of a once beautiful dream...
when you caught a familiar face,
from the window of a speeding train...
when you caught a familiar whisper,
as the wind sighs through the trees...

i do know and i do understand
the familiar pain... and the familiar sorrow...
when a relationship breaks off -
and love floats away...

I would - if only i could

I would have loved to talk about my friend -
and praise him no end - for all the good things he'd done...
i would have loved to sit with my friend -
and chat about everything under the sun...
i would really love to hear his witty jokes -
and would love to laugh out loud at all his humour...
and there's one more thing i would like to do:
see everyone hold their stomach and laugh...
and laugh wholeheartedly, uncontrolably, with them -
i surely would - if i only could...

"Like a song in the night"

If i train my ears -
i could hear the tortured cry from your heart ...
like a sad, sad song -
in the silence of the night...
and if i close my eyes -
i could see the gaunt look in your tired eyes...
and my heart cries for you -
like the raindrops falling in the night...
and when i take a walk in the park -
and hear the distant laughter of happy children...
i could feel your heart ache all around me -
like the monsoon wind that howls in the trees...
and when i squint my eyes to look at the beautiful sun -
i'll remember the shadow of your warm smile...
and it pains my heart to realise -
that the mischievous twinkle in your eyes are gone...
