We've been together through thick and thin,
You opened your heart and let my love flow in.
Together we went through both good times and bad,
Up times, down times...happy and sad.
Now many years later, I look back and smile,
The best thoughts of us are with me, now and awhile.
My life has been grand, since with you I've been,
You're the one thing in life that's a guaranteed win.
As time draws near, my best friend I'll soon wed,
But there is still one thing left to be said.
With this thought from my heart, to you I send,
My love for you will never end.

From the first time I saw your smiling face,
I knew the world was blessed with your beauty & grace.
When you were born, God smiled above.
You're so very smart and full of love.

Things haven't been perfect, even stressful too;
But in spirit and body, I'll always be there for you.
You're very special, a daughter I'm very proud of.
I miss you dearly! This is to show my love.

Rise-n up in the Mafia life
Keep on soring, you can’t fly too high
Reach the top, and you’ll find out why
I’m living the criminal life

Curiosity is always killing the cat,
But I’ve got more lives than the NSA keeps tabs
The file on me is a mile wide
And 99% is the criminal kind
The story of my life is a dictionary of crimes
And if you look under M you’ll find out why

Rise-n up in the Mafia life
Keep on soring, you can’t fly too high
Reach the top, and you’ll find out why
I’m living the criminal life

Sometimes there’s a law that was born to break
Because you’ve got to break that law for goodness sake
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t
But I’d rather be damned than damn another bloke
You cannot build a bridge sacrificing others hopes and dreams
But people will pay toll if hope is bursting out your seams

Rise-n up in the Mafia life
Keep on soring, you can’t fly too high
Reach the top, and you’ll find out why
I’m living the criminal life

Tired of my emotions being sucked up dry
Thoughts of failure run through my head
A slave to this feeling called anger that I dread.
Wishing I could just pretend that I'm OK
but this grip is set a little too tight revealing grey.
A faceless demon in command to torture
my mind within grasp of his foolish nurture.
Make this time be true
Let it be real I hope you get the clue
without the touch of evil my life is tuned
It won't come back and it won't intrude
Wont let it break, the string that's tied
I trust my own feelings, with nothing to hide
No more am I empty, you fill me with charm
allowing myself to commit, if not mutual, I wont be harmed
Don't be fooled, you are my ambition
something as quick as this, so exact, please listen..
Triggered by your smile, opens everything inside
when I'm down, you pull me up and make me feel alive.

There comes a time in everyone's life
When love turns stale and old.
It's time to get that heart in gear
And step in from the cold.

I know sometimes it's hard to do
But we must learn to move on.
We can't live on in the past
When those memories are gone.

We have to be strong, sure, sound, and brave
Stand up for what we know.
We can't let things get us down
And if they do, don't let it show.

I thought we'd be one forever
But forever died in vain.
Now I'm moving on, growing strong
My life will never be the same.

Now years later, I look back
And remember with a tear
Of all our hopes and dreams that died
How you left me filled with fear.

I didn't know how I'd live
Without you by my side
But I stop and take a deep breath
And thank God that I survived.
