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

The Sunflower and the Carmel

Posted May 3rd, 2011 by Van Bakker


Sunflower, why are you so down?
It seems like you lost your crown
Why you cry if you can love again
Don't ever worry about your pain

I am a simple carmel who is not dreaming
Because his muse is weeping
Sunflower, your tears may make you blind
And another love you may never find

Rise and shine, dancing to my song
Let my melody make you feel well
And when your smile is again so strong
You may be happy with this carmel

-

My carmel, thank you for your words
I am now ready to move forward
I don't know how I lost my crown

One Gesture and One Look

Posted December 19th, 2010 by Van Bakker


Try to whistle while you are working
Try to love while you are not dreaming
Now possible or nowhere
And tomorrow I won't care

Try to be there while I don't want you
Maybe I will grow up and then love you too
Kiss me now, I'm dazed
My doubts will be erased

I see you and I'm loving
I call you and I'm dreaming

Why is so hard to take the first step?
We should only feel safe when we go deep
Why are we so afraid of the pain?
The good memories are never in vain

Try to be brave while you are scared

One Hundred and One

Posted September 25th, 2010 by Van Bakker

If you can't be
Then let it see
I was the one who will say

Can't find a day
To bright my way
Are those clouds inside the sun?

I am not the one who will do
The confusion inside you
Love was not supposed to make you cry
So why would you give me a goodbye?

-

I have lost my find
Where will I mind
You are everything I love

I don't feel vain
It was not pain
I think I'm falling in have

And you cannot know where it is
All the reasons behind this
But I'm not the one who will be gone
If the one I love is not alone

Pen and Paper

Posted July 8th, 2010 by Van Bakker

Well, then
May I borrow your pen?
I will write on this paper
Everything I feel for her

But I will remain forever
Writing my feelings
I may even forget about her
And her crystal wings

Maybe I should just say
How much you light my day
And ask you on a dance
To celebrate our romance

-

Oh, such confusion
I don't know now
How to keep going on

Maybe the solution for this
Lies on just being together
That's how I think it is

All the feelings I will have for her
Will stay forever in a sheet of paper

The lover and the lady

Posted May 28th, 2010 by Van Bakker

I have an idea
Just you and me
Sailing together right across the sea

Under the blue sky
I look at your eyes
Inside my heart everything is right

We should not be afraid
Of what was not yet said
We just need to wait

-

I have a dream today
The lover and the lady
Willing together to send time away

And then we would fly
Under the bright blue sky
Until we finally mix as one

The waiting time is gone
Everything I need is here
My dream and my dear one

-

We're sailing on the sky
