Janine (2023)

Before I saw your face, my heart was lost and bound

By chains of doubt and sorrow that weighed me to the ground

But then I found a picture that made me stop and stare

You had me captured instantly I cannot look away

Your flowing hair like stars that shine in the dark night

They lightly touch my face and fill me with their light

Those eyes that speak to me in the silence of a stare

Drawing out all my pains and laying my soul bare

Janine, you’re the one who makes me feel alive

Janine, you’re the one who makes me want to strive

Janine, you’re the one who makes me feel aglow

Janine, you’re the one who makes me want to grow

Those lips are like two roses that tempt me with their scent

They make me want to taste them and feel your sweet content

Your pretty face inviting me makes me beg for a kiss

'Cause if I didn't it's half my life that I should ​​miss

Janine, you’re the one who shares my dreams and fears

Janine, you’re the one who I would love for years

Janine, you’re the one who fills my heart with bliss

Janine, you’re the one who I would die to kiss

Someday I hope to see you and look into your eyes

Someday I hope to kiss you and make you realize

Someday I hope to hold you and whisper in your ear

Someday I hope to love you and make you mine, my dear

Like that fabled mirror that shows me who I am

You make me see the beauty that I could never understand

You’re like a ray of sunshine that brightens up my day

You make me feel the warmth that I thought had gone away

I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see you face to face

But I know that in my heart you have a special place

I know you'll take my breath away I'll not at all survive

But I know that for your love I'll gladly give my life
