Alien Eyes

start the music now......join in the cosmic dance.

Alien Eyes

Dancing after midnight, dreaming

With eyes as black as coals

Floating off the dew dropped meadows

With sadness in our souls.

Silver vessels watching us

As we begin our dance

We'd journeyed long looking for solace

To seek our second chance.

The darkened space, a hungry mouth

That swallows by degrees

We left the galaxies behind

That would not hear our pleas.

On angel's wings we do not fly

Nor walk the way of men

We dance step like the evening breeze

That's the way it's always been.

Music from the Universe

Fills our inhuman hearts

We long to join the symphony

But we are shunned apart.

But dance me now, my shadow lover

Dance me to the dawn

For night will end and with the morning

In silence we'll be gone.

Celestial beings love the earth

Like earthlings love the sky

But they will never know this freedom

Until the day they die.

We dance in light, we live in night

In joyous sweet despair

We watch them as they walk below us

And they never know we're there.

Our slender hands now joined together

We dance around the moon

And sigh to leave this place of beauty

For we'll be flying soon.

The earthlings do not often treasure

And rarely recognize

The wonder of this world we covet

With our dark alien eyes.

We love this world, we love this sky

That they barely give a glance

But tonight it's ours and we are happy

Tonight we come to dance.

Sweet Baby

My Very Favorite Prince Song

 

"Sweet Baby"

"You want to be my sweet baby?"
You asked shyly
And I hung my head 
And nodded
Because I was shy, too

And that was how it started,
How it began
With me and you
Slowly and shyly
And oh, so sweetly.

When I feel sad or down
I think of that day
When you called me "Sweet baby"
For the first time
And I always smile.

For I had waited for ever
For someone to notice me
And talk to me
And learn how sweet I could be.

For someone to walk with me
And hold my hand
And look into my eyes
Like they could see into my soul.

But everyone just passed me by
Like I was invisible
And never said a word
And every day I just got lonelier
And lonelier.

Till I saw you
Standing there alone yourself
Looking like you didn't have nothing
And nobody
And no where to go.

And I waited and waited
And I prayed and prayed
That you would look my way
But you never did
So I took matters into my own hands.

I marched right over 
To where you were leaning against the store
And I went right up to you
Like I had good sense
And I said, "Hello."

And you jumped out of your skin
And said, "Who, me?"
And I said, "I don't see nobody else here."
And you stood there very quietly
For about five very long minutes.

"I'm sorry." you finally said
"But I've been watching you every day
Since I moved to this town
And I thought you were the prettiest girl
I had ever seen in my life!"

"I can't believe you're speaking to me
Or that you even knew I was alive
So I guess it scared me too death
When you came over and said hello
'Cause I was just standing here dreaming."

And that is how I learned that boys
Are strange but then so are girls
For we have no idea that anyone feels
The way we do or dreams the dreams we do
Because we are too afraid to ask.

And we became inseparable
From that day to this
And we walked and we talked
And we learned all about one another
And found out how much we were alike.

Then one day you had to go out of town
For the summer
And you didn't want to go and I didn't want you to
And we stood there at the bus station
With tears in our eyes like big ole babies.

That's when you called me your sweet baby
And I told you I would wait for you
And write you every day if you wanted me to
And that I would miss you with all my heart
And you gave me that necklace with the heart on it.

That was the longest three months of my life
And I know it was hard for you too
But sometimes it's good to be apart
Because then you learn just how much
You love somebody.

My mama teased me all summer
And asked me why I was moping around
"Over that lil ole boy"
And telling me I needed to take off that necklace
At least when I took a bath.

But I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't let go of it
I held onto it with all my soul
And I was holding onto it when you came back home
But what I didn't know was that you had left a boy
And you stepped off that old bus, a man.

"How's my sweet baby?" you called
And pulled me into your arms
Like somebody drowning holds onto a life raft
And I hung my head and said, "I'm fine"
"Just fine."

Then in a renewed burst of courage I grabbed you
And gave you the biggest kiss that anybody had ever
Gotten in the history of kissing
And the gawkers and shoppers let out shocked gasps
But I didn't care and I kissed you again.

And I turned around 
And my mama was standing there by the car
And I thought she was gonna kill me
Or ground me for a hundred years
 But she had the most amazed expression on her face
And to my ever lasting surprise she just looked at me
And she said, "You go, girl."
