Why Is Life Sometimes This Way - 55
Why Is Life Sometimes This Way
Song One
In This World Of Billions
The breeze is gentle
The air smells nice
You and I lying on the grass
Your song softly singing to my heart
And it reminded me of the first time
You kissed me
And I belonged to you
And you were mine
The skies were blue
The clouds so white
Trees all around
And nowhere to hide
The birds are chirping
The flowers are blooming
The sun still comes out
But you are not there
And it once again reminds me of you
And I don’t know why
There’s people everywhere
Yet there’s loneliness in the air
Sometimes something seems to be missing from my life
What it is II do not know for sure
Even after all these years
Sometimes I think of you
And wonder how it would have been
If we had stayed together
Would my eyes still look for you
In every crowded room like it used to
Even after all this time
The branches of the trees
Spread out in front of me
In all of it’s majestic beauty
With beautiful green leaves of springtime
With it’s cool soothing shade
Out every single day without fail
Everytime
Reminding me of your shoulders
I could always lean on when it got colder
That was always there for me
To escape from the harsh glare
Of the world outside
They say
In this world of billions
People come into your life in millions
Some to stay and some as passers by
And they say true love only comes once in a lifetime
Like a beautiful ray of sunshine
Of hope and happiness to grab from life
That only true and true love can define
And once again
Even after all these years
Sometimes I think of you
And wonder how it would have been
If we had stayed together
Would my eyes still look for you
In every crowded room like it used to
Even after all this time
Another day
New beginning
Sun came up
Stars did shine
Clouds smiled too
Night so poignant
And you were not here
Life’s journey
Another mile
A journey so long
Weathered song
Hurt inside
You try to hide
World full of people
Yet strangers they are all
Faces you see
In inhuman forms
You turn away
Memories linger on
Plenty you try to erase
It’s like it’s written
On your subconscious page
Hard as you may try
You cannot shake it away
You try to put it behind
Like a painful memory
It still stays
You try to move on
Yet like a baggage
It refuses to go away
Once again you wonder
What is it about life
No matter who you are
The way it will still play
What the other person
Does have to say
How deep is the cut
It’s still up to us
This world is not an island
And this life you cannot escape
Song Two
It's Like Sands Through The Hourglass
Like written in the stars it was before we came
Like words etched in stone that will never ever fade
It’s like sands through the hourglass and this lonely summer skies
Things you cannot go back to and yet you cannot move on in life
No matter how hard you try
And this loneliness that stays with you as time passes you by
Like a lost lonely soul on this deserted lonely night
Like two lonely footprints in the sand that got washed away with tide
Like the love you lost and all those lonely nights you cried
Like coming home to a lonely house that feels like the cruel world outside
Knowing things are no longer the same trying hard to hide the pain inside
Once filled with hopes and dreams of love together you shared with pride
Season’s come and seasons go without a trace and pain you cannot hide
You don’t notice a thing and your soul that feels lost and bared at this divide
Once again like a lost lonely soul on this on this deserted lonely night
Like two lonely footprints in the sand that just got washed away with tide
Like written in the stars it was before we came
Like words etched in stone that will never ever fade
It’s like sands through the hourglass and this lonely summer skies
Things you cannot go back to and yet you cannot move on in life
No matter how hard you try
And this loneliness that stays with you as time passes you by
Song Three
Seven Nights You And I
You and I
One night stand
Seven days Seven weeks
Seven oceans Seven seas
Seven into the night so serene
To smile together To die together
Every walk of life together
World may change Always forever
Yet season’s all along meant not to be weathered
And In the end it did not matter
Honeymoon that never happened
Yet Life that did
Apologies that never came
Forgive I couldn’t and the inevitable
That was a long time coming
Life’s high and Life’s low’s
It was for the two us to know
Some things not meant to be ignored
Still would have failed probably for sure
No matter which way we did go
Probably written in the stars and skies
Even before it was you and I
Complete opposites no way alike
Was meant to fail from the very first night
Thirteen years just one big lie
One night stand
Seven days Seven weeks
Seven oceans Seven seas
Seven into the night so serene
Song Four
I Could Not Come And You Could Not Let Go
I could not come
And you couldn’t let go
Time passed us by
And sometimes life still feels like it is in a limbo
And we could not bring ourselves
To bridge this gap and our life that it echoes
It still separates the two of us
And you are still no show
And no matter how hard I try
Sometimes I still wonder
Why is it that life turns out this way
Where it felt like
We were always meant to go our separate ways
I still remember the first time we met
I looked at your face
And I was swept
And I knew that I wanted
Just to spend the rest of my life with you
With you by my side
That was my love’s depth
And two weeks later
This promise that we kept
And tied the knot so sacred
And took the vows to spend forever
The rest of our lives together
We were so happy together
This life we had built for ourselves
Where just you and I existed
And nothing else mattered
And as time flew by
And before we knew it was five years
And together we wept
And together we cried
And here we are today
Nothing but complete strangers
In this strange town by the bay
That we once called our love gateway
When once we could not
Think of life without each other
Even for a single day
I could not come
And you couldn’t let go
Time passed us by
And sometimes life still feels like it is in a limbo
And we could not bring ourselves
To bridge this gap and our life that it echoes
It still separates the two of us
And you are still no show
And no matter how hard I try
Sometimes I still wonder
Why is it that life turns out this way
Where it felt like
We were always meant to go our separate ways
This bond that we once shared with each other
Never thought that
Anything could break what we had together
But destiny had different plans all together
Never thought that one day
This storm will come into our lives
And we will get swept away
And end up going our separate ways
Always thought that our love was strong
That it would withstand the test of time
And would always survive (and hold strong
And right the wrong
And yet here we are
With what once used to be our love
So young and so alive
Nothing left now but shattered dreams
And heart that wonders
So many years has passed by
I still sometimes find myself thinking of you
No matter how hard I try
It refuses to go away and just happens
As seasons come and seasons go
And memories of you still creeps up silently
Without my being aware of it
In this life People come and go
Yet some memories however painful they are
Refuses to go
This feeling of loneliness that it brings with it
Of years lost of love lost
When it was not meant to work out from the very start
And this feeling Which simply refuses to go away
Song Five
Why Is Life Sometimes This Way
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
I close my eyes
And feel your lips on my lips
And a smile crosses my face
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
When ever I am at this familiar place
And I wonder how it would have been
If that night you had stayed
Whenever I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
And how it would have been
If that night you had stayed
That summer that we spent together
Where we couldn’t keep our hands off of each other
Spending every moment together
Having the time of our lives
Before we went our separate ways
I often wonder how would it have been
If you had stayed
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
I close my eyes
And feel your lips on my lips
And a smile crosses my face
And I wonder how it would have been
If you had stayed
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
I close my eyes
And feel your lips on my lips
And a smile crosses my face
Whenever I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
And how it would have been
If that night you had stayed
Would you and I have still been completely into each other
Oblivious to the world where no one else mattered
Meaning everything to each other
Like two people who belonged together
Would you and I still have been best friends
That I would have loved sharing my life with
That I still loved coming home to every single day
Would you have been always my confidante
That I liked sharing my deepest secrets with
When l was having a rough day
Would you have been my soulmate like you used to
Where we would have been there for each other
A shoulder to lean on
When this world was being a cold harsh place
Would you and I would have stayed in love with each other
Just like that summer
Where we could not keep our hands off of each other
Hanging on to each others every word
Madly in love forever
No matter what life sent our way
If that night you had stayed
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
I close my eyes
And feel your lips on my lips
And a smile crosses my face
When I am all alone
I often find myself thinking of you
And how it would have been
If you had stayed
On days like this I find myself looking outside the window
The skies filled with black clouds
And the rain pouring down
And once again I find myself thinking
Without my wanting to my mind takes a Walk down the memory lane
Always so painful that I don’t know whether I should stay
Then you walk through my mind
And I cannot help but wonder how it would have been
If life had played out differently
Would I still want you in my life
And would I want you to hold on to me tight
Would we still have meant something to each other
I still remember the first time we met
I still remember every single thing you said
And once again you wonder
Why do things sometimes end up like this
There is chill in the air outside
How it used to be when we first met
When it used to be just you and I and no one else
And the world outside would cease to exist
And once again I wonder how it would have been
If you and I had not gone our separate way
In this world
Why is it sometimes
Love is about pain
Life about regrets
Family about hurt
Relationships about baggage
Strangers about kindness
And loneliness in this world
As you try to walk away you realize
Why does life sometimes turn out this way
In this world
Where your blood ties
Sometimes remind you it takes all kind
And strangers remind you
Kindness you sometimes find
In strange places
As you try to move on
People you try to leave behind
That life sent your way
Baggage you try to lose
So that you no longer cry
Then you realize
This world is sometimes
Just about people and their expectations
And things they have to say and do
That reminds you
Who they are in this world and in our lives
Once again trying to make life meaningful
Desperately trying to leave the hurt behind
To make it work
In a world where life has a mind of it’s own
No matter how hard you try it still get’s you
As life’s sometimes unthinkable hurt
As you try to move on in life
