This is a song about a strong att5raction in a Platonic relationship.

How Can I Begin

How can I begin to tell you I love you in that way?
Remember we're just friends, and friends are hard to find you always say?
How can I begin to tell you that I love you fearing that you might just run?
Something in the wind says we could be more than friends.  You might just be the one.  

How can I begin to show you the feelings in my heart?
You know you always said the Plato Path was ours from the start. 
How can I begin to change the way you hear me when I only whisper the truth?
Somehow let me.  We should be more than friends.  I know I'm right for you.

When you smile you nearly take my heart into your eyes.  
You never know why I seem blue.
When the day is done you leave and my heart only cries.  
It wonders why I cannot go with you.  

How can I begin to tell you that I love you fearing that you might just run?
Something in the wind says we could be more than friends.  
You know you are the one for me.

Just another nobody who's not here to be somebody.  I write songs because I can't help it, and it helps me.  If I add them here, I'm less likely to keep mixing them.  Creativity is a stream with many tributaries, and sometimes one runs through us.  The stream is more creative when tributaries meet, and I'm grateful for the collaborative efforts of others.

There’s a treasure down deep in this hinterland
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
A word,a rhyme, the message from a song, it stands
my rock n roll Rosetta Stone
