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.

How Can I Begin

This song was composed with several synthesizers and it gave me several ideas for the future! I don't think the song is the best, but I liked it and that's why I shared it! In the next few days I'm going to continue in the same style, that is, the Berlin school! Something that gives me a lot of pleasure!

Verse 1:
It wasn't the plan, but that's probably how it went
Two hearts in the storm, now our target is silent
All the words said, but nothing keeps us here
Only shadows of yesterday and ashes of paper

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Verse 2:
I see your traces fading in the fog
Hear your voice in songs of glass
Time may heal, but it also lies to us
'Cause nothing feels right if I can't share it with you

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Bridge:
Then we lie lazily on rooftops in the rain
No why, no wrong, just a life in the now
No way that separates us, no tomorrow that counts
Just you and me when the night brightens up

Chorus (Final):
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

I was at a talk by the great animator Yuri Norstein many years ago and he talked about using the light from factories to read by when his family had no domestic electricity at nighttime.

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.
