about
A song I wrote about a fantasy of mine... Wishful thinking is what I do best ;).
lyrics
I'd like to take your hand and show you everything I know
I'd like to take your hand and show you just the way to go
The first few steps were made
And now there's not much I can do
The task is yours to undertake
The road is up to you
Please don't be afraid to do however you see fit
Please be honest with yourself, accept every last bit
All you need is courage
And you've shown me that before
You've got everything it takes
And maybe even more
Your secret will be safe with me
But you have got to see
What part of it was really you
What part wanted me
You say that you never meant
To go this far last night
The alcohol is guilty there
And maybe you are right
But what if those drinks brought out
what you've been hiding all along
Which was fine and understandable
But maybe you were wrong
Please don't be afraid to know
Whatever's new to you
Please be honest with yourself,
Do what you have to do
All you need is courage
And you've shown me that before
You've got everything it takes
And maybe even more
Your secret will be safe with me
But you have got to see
What part of it was really you
What part wanted me
You said you were confused
And didn't recognise yourself
You had wanted this for oh so long
You now knew what you had felt
And now, today, the love is gone
And so is your memory
You say it didn't mean a thing
And never meant to hurt me
I'm not hurt, I understand
But how could you forget
All that was there the other night
All those things you said
You say that I have to know
It wasn't you you've shown
The thing now is that I remember
All those things you don't
You want to keep this quiet
And that's what we agree upon
But by having said I will not speak
I cannot release this song
Please don't be afraid to do however
Please be honest with yourself, accept every last bit
All you need is courage
And you've shown me that before
You've got everything it takes
And maybe even more
Your secret will be safe with me
But you have got to see
What part of it was really you
What part wanted me
