Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
–Hank Williams, Cold Cold Heart
Don’t blame yourself
For your broken heart
It might feel heroic
But it isn’t very smart
There’s something you know
But you’ll never understand
She made you so happy
But she didn’t give a damn
You could spend some time with a real live girl
But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World
You’re a really sweet guy
But you gotta let it go
It wasn’t your fault
When she stomped on your soul
I really wanna love you
But I can’t compete
With a sad sad song
That you wanna repeat
You could spend some time with a real live girl
But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World

What holds all the molecules together?
Was there a beginning of time?
Does space go on forever?
What makes you so clever?
Is there any reason in my rhyme?
I wonder about everything I see
Who made all the tygers and the trees?
I wonder why I met you
And what you’re gonna do
Wonder is good enough for meI wonder about things I’ll never know
I wonder if our love is gonna grow
What’s inside the sun?
The biggest number plus one?
Wonder is good enough for me

I'm sad we broke each other's hearts
Didn't want to leave you blue
I'm sad we'll always be apart
I hate the stupid things I do
I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true
A snowflake and a rainbow
A sunset and a flower
They fade and fall from view
But they never lose their power
I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true
by Richard W. Bray
I almost shriveled up and died
But then I met you when I did
You taught me how to fly
Made me feel like a kid
We never said goodbye
We just went our separate ways
And your melody renews
Day after day
We never had it all
And we had so much more
Blankets and pillows
And cuddling on the floor
Owning every moment
Life is just a glance
Motion never ends:
The dancers and the dance
by Richard W. Bray
Time was somewhere else
In a universe of two
Bewitched and bedazzled
There was only you
The light, the air
The space between
Charged by the sparks
That cannot be seen
Colors overflow
Molecules conspire
Angels hold their breath
And stop to admire
The light, the air
The space between
Charged by the sparks
That cannot be seen

I lift my lids and all is born again.
—Sylvia Plath, Mad Girl's Love Song
So many dreams
Inside my head
Treasure and triumph
And beauty and dread
I lift my lids
To you instead
What disappeared
Is born anew
My moon-struck songs
Are all of you
Drops of bliss
Like morning dew
Rise and roar
And meet the world
Music until now
Unheard
My dream my life
My thunderbird
by Richard W. Bray
I see you beautiful
I see you free
I wish you had some time
To be with me
I see you beautiful
I see you true
I dream about a world
That's full of you
I'll treat you like a princess
If you give me a chance
I see you beautiful
I see you strong
I really like the way
We get along
I see you beautiful
I see you smart
I can't even say
What you do to my heart
I'll treat you like a princess
If you give me a chance
by Richard W. Bray
Tell me on a Friday
If it isn't working out
Give me two days
To cry my eyeballs out
I'll arise on Monday morning
With a pile of work to do
Before I can remember
There's no more me and you
The paradise where roses bloom
Is just another lonely room
Tell me on a Friday
When my day is done
And all my happy hopes
Can set with the sun
I'll have 48 hours
To completely fall apart
Then I'll pull myself together
And resuscitate my heart
The paradise where roses bloom
Is just another lonely room
by Richard W. Bray
I'm a whole lot crazy
I'm not an itty bitty crazy
Not a teensy weensy crazy
I'm a whole lot crazy over you
She says to wait your turn
As my insides start to churn
I'm a whole lot crazy
I'm not an itty bitty crazy
Not teensy weensy crazy
I'm a whole lot crazy over you
She says that she supposes
Send more jewelry and roses
I'm a whole lot crazy
I'm not an itty bitty crazy
Not a teensy weensy crazy
I'm a whole lot crazy over you
She says you're really sweet
I might let you wash my feet
I'm a whole lot crazy
I'm not an itty bitty crazy
Not a teensy weensy crazy
I'm a whole lot crazy over you
She says we might get together
Maybe someday, maybe never
I'm a whole lot crazy
I'm not an itty bitty crazy
Not a teensy weensy crazy
I'm a whole lot crazy over you
by Richard W. Bray
Your song is the sunshine
Your song is the rain
Jacarandas swaying
Humming your refrain
Both ends of the rainbow
And everything between
Celebrate your memory
You’ll always be my Queen
Your song is in the heavens
Cooing like a dove
Everyone who knew you
Is better for your love
