Pride of the Poet

Posted April 8th, 2012 by Van Bakker


I shall never regret when I feel happy
I sing another melody
To the beauty of being forever in love

Oh my dear I know, I know
That I was not supposed
To dream for what I don't have

But nothing's gonna stop me from saying three times now
That I love you, how I love you, why I love you

-

Say good morning
Even if you just woke up from a nightmare
Even if you don't feel like going anywhere
Why would you let go of your feelings?

But what about you
Do you show them what you see in your mirror?

Comeback

Posted April 8th, 2012 by Van Bakker


I'm feeling good, I'm feeling up to this day
I'm not moving, I'm never going away
I'm pretty sure this is where I belong

I'm feeling better, I'm getting too smart
And I no longer worry where is my heart
I have been wanting this for just too long

Sometimes it hurts, but we can't forget to smile
Somtimes we cry, but we can't afford to be down
All the pain I have been through
Is another reason to be with you

Well, with this pain to ignore
I would not have something to sing for

Give me a good smile, I'm laughing with no reason

Teenage Crush

Posted November 19th, 2011 by Van Bakker


I want to find this
And I want to lose that
Keeping it inside a hat
So we shall not get all of those

Far away from this behind
Don't forget to keep future inside your mind
I am almost pretty sure
That I don't know the cure

I think I don't know what I am saying
Don't know what I am doing
If you hope I will be back
You might be out of luck

But I might be the one that will be there for you

What is there for me to be?
Maybe we are meant to see
If we are complicated
We are not so dedicated

And when You Smile

Posted November 11th, 2011 by Van Bakker


I heard about someone
Who had recently lost her two wings
Oh my dear, when you are alone
Send me your feelings

I heard you had a deal
Of never letting go of your dreams
Do you really know what that means?
Go for what is real

And when you go
Will you remember to let me know?
We can always try to enjoy this
One moment we won't miss

And when you are here
There will be no nightmares left to fear
For we will chase them all from the sky
With the shine of your blue eyes

I am not a young boy
Although my pen is my best toy

Rollercoaster

Posted November 3rd, 2011 by Van Bakker


Dances and dreams, romances lost within
Nobody ever heard about her
I was trying to fall from the window of the fifth floor
Answers waited on the door

Don't try to sleep now
The wind is blowing out there, don't go

I want your arms
They will keep me safe from harms
I wouldn't try to sleep without you

I feel fear too
I just had a nightmare
I couldn't find you anywhere

The future shall not be brighter than the blue moon
Are you going to wake up too soon?

And if you are trying to love

Sweet Melody

Posted October 22nd, 2011 by Van Bakker


Oh my beautiful girl, my own darling
Who stole my heart with a glimpse of your blue eyes
I want you to tell why
I want you to share your feelings

Sweet melody
I want you to dream about me

Oh my wonderful girl, my own good dream
Who stole my day, made me forget who I am
I want you to tell now
I just want you to let me know

Sweet melody
Could you ever dream without me?

-

And while I have been waiting
I asked myself what could have put you dreaming
When I looked to your eyes

Bleeding Rainbows

Posted October 15th, 2011 by Van Bakker


There shouldn't be
A dream of you and me
This is just a test
Only a contest

What am I trying for?

Within the day, during the night
I am here because of this
Losing the dream so out of sight
Bleeding rainbows, that is

I am holding away from you
In the best way I can do
And while you make me think
I am not wasting a drop of ink

I should go by the book
And judge you by your look
But how can that be wrong
If I put your eyes in a song?

Walking away from you
I delve into this contest
This may be only a test

Words of Inspiration V

Posted October 10th, 2011 by Van Bakker


It is fast like a shooting star
Behind the beauty of the afternoon
And when it flies back from the moon
The near future suddenly gets too far

But what is going on with me?
The world is going backwards and I failed to see
And what is going on with you?
Now you seem to be out of your place too

There are two signs flying through the air
Nobodysaid that your life is to be fair
Then again I shot this day too low
I feel the need to pursuit but I won't go

But what are you doing to me?
I want to fill my words with some color

Just to make you smile

Posted October 8th, 2011 by Van Bakker


For those who are in pain
And don't want to love again
For those who want to cry
Or at least want to go dream and try

Go ahead, weep, and think you are not worthwhile
But I wrote this letter just to make you smile

No matter how hard you scream
Musics were made to dream
What do you want to do?
What's up with you?

Go ahead and cry, drop your tears along a mile
But I wrote this letter just to make you smile

Listen close, my dear
So I heard the end of your world is getting near
Don't let yourself go

In Memoriam

Posted October 4th, 2011 by Van Bakker


Goodbye, I will miss you, dear
In my heart there is no fear
If today I know what to do
That is because of you

But I must say that my music is not the same
And heaven knows I can no longer say your name
With tears I now give you my last goodbye
But I promised you I would not cry

(But sorry if I don't heed it)

I try again to sing this goodbye
I will meet you again in the sky

Feathers come from your wings everywhere
Maybe I will see you up there
