Abelard and Héloise are dead
It doesn’t really matter what they said
Get your pretty face out of that book
Nature got a need for us to cook
Juliet and Romeo ain’t real
We can vanquish love like it’s a meal
Ravish and devour me till dawn
Live the life we got until it’s gone
Helena and Paris stole away
That’s what you and me should do today
Spirit me away in dark of night
Enchant me in delirious delight
Mark Antony and Cleo had their time
So we should make the most of yours and mine
Living blood is scorching through our veins
Let’s drink each other up just like Champagne
by Richard W. Bray

I feel my face smiling
All day long
And I can’t stop humming
An old love song
Flowers gonna bloom
The fiddler gets paid
Love is too dizzy
To be afraid
Every step I take
Is a leisurely stroll
And my head is all full
Of Nat King Cole
Flowers gonna bloom
The fiddler gets paid
Love is too dizzy
To be afraid
I’m probably crazy
In this melancholy world
Cuz I’m goofy in the head
For a brand new girl
Flowers gonna bloom
The fiddler gets paid
Love is too dizzy
To be afraid

Things that made me want you
Are driving me insane
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
I ain’t the type of gal
Who’s gonna grimace and complain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
Think I’ve had enough of standing
Lonesome in the rain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
I can see my future
Swirlin’ slowly down the drain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
You’re just a big ole puppy
I ain’t never gonna train
Time to add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain

Love’s not easy
Love’s not free
It takes a toll on
You and me
I’m not stupid
I’m not blind
I know that sometimes
You’re unkind
Love’s not heaven
Love’s not God
Love is painful
Love is odd
I’m not a dreamer
Just a girl
I know that you
Can’t fix the world
Love’s a chance
For me to cope
Love’s a place
To perch my hope

I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away.
—Bob Dylan
I’ve walked away from love
And hurt a lovely girl
I’ve turned my back on everything
That matters in this world
I’ve walked away from love
When it still had room to grow
Where it might have taken us
I’ll never ever know
I’ve walked away from love
I’ve run and I have hid
It doesn’t really kill you
But it makes you wish it did
I’ve done a lot of stupid things
Someday I’ll make a list
But nothing hurts like giving up
The sweetest ever kiss
by Richard W. Bray

I fell head over heels
When I fell for you
I felt like the world
Had begun anew
I fell off a cliff
When I fell for you
I’m tattered and torn
And broken and bruised
I fell out of grace
When I fell for you
And I forgot all the things
That I thought I knew
The bottom fell out
When I fell for you
I don’t know who I am
Don’t know what to do
I fell on my face
When I fell for you
Now I’m down in a ditch
And I don’t like the view
I fell under your spell
When I fell for you
Must have been the Hemlock
In your witch’s brew
by Richard W. Bray

The girl I didn’t marry
The girl who loved me true
Was a precious little angel
Just like you
I had a good life
But I hadn’t figured out
Who I had to be
Or what I was about
She never ever knew
She couldn’t see
She fell in love
With the man I tried to be
That’s why I ran away
I couldn’t get locked in
Now I’ll never know
What we might have been
Now you wanna love me
That’s not a good plan
I still ain’t figured out
Who the hell I am

She’s a vision, she’s an angel
she’s a goddess, she’s a queen
She is natural, she is perfect
She is pure and she is clean
Love can be incredible
But love won’t make you whole
If you’re looking for a woman
To perfect your sorry soul
Everything I want and need
A perfect combination
Every other woman is
A phony imitation
If you’re looking for a partner
To play a hopeless role
You won’t find a woman
To perfect your sorry soul
Transport constant misery
To eternal bliss
She’s the only woman
Who could possibly do this
Replacing God with Romance
Is an idiotic goal
You won’t find a woman
To perfect your sorry soul

The shapes a bright container can contain!
—Theodore Roethke, I Knew a Woman
The shapes and colors you contain
Paralyze my lonesome brain
It did not lessen your appeal
When you suggested I get real
Who I am and who you are
Mean I must love you from afar
I hear the voice of sanity
Saying how it’s gotta be:
“Forget her smile, her voice, her hair
Cry a lot and look elsewhere”
I should just give up on love
My hopeless heart has had enough
by Richard W. Bray
