Talkin' To God Above by Ben Laney

Baby, I'm out of my mind
My beating heart will not be still
I'm wanting you all the time
With thoughts of you my head is filled
You melt me down with a kiss
And I want to live in your arms
Is it a sin to be like this?
So captivated by your charms

I've been sending you e-mails
Love-letters through cyberspace
And picturing how they sail
To the screen in front of your face
Now , I know that it's better to give
Than it ever is to recieve
Yet every word from you I get
Sends me up like a bird on wings

I used to be a gambler,
I proudly wore a poker face
But now I'm seeking something better
Than a king, a queen or an ace
I'm through with the roulette wheel
I'm not touchin' no loaded dice
With you I found something real,
Something beautiful and nice

We bring nothing with us to this world,
We take nothing with us when we leave
But what we share here is precious, girl,
Yes, it is precious beyond belief
Run with me out under the stars
You don't have to be shy with me
I love you for who you are
And I want to play a part in your dreams

And I've been talkin' to God above
About these feelings I have for you
Talkin' to the God of love
I've gone all crazy, God knows it's true
I've been talkin' to God above
Maybe some light just might shine through
I've been talking to God above
About these feelings I have for you

Leah, thank you for showers of...
Leah, thank you for your shower of praise for my work! I did go through and read every one of your comments. I'm glad that you found them "interesting to read", "beautiful", "touching" "full of life" and I think in one comment you mentioned "passion"! And you had some questions, too, which I will try to answer. (Forgive me if I miss any.) On Zip It Up And Go..No, Christian and Samantha are the children of some friend's of mine in New Mexico. I watch themm sometimes when I'm there visiting their parents. On Dreaming of England... What kind of music do I do? I do a variety of styles from rock, blues, pop, reggae, latin, gypsy, country, folk and more including classical. I even have a couple that some might call "punk", but I shy away from labels. My tastes are broad and I don't want to confine my creativity into any one "box". Talkin' To God Above? ..Wrong, I'm single! Ha! Ha! On Fifteen Hours In Chico... You mentioned something about hitch-hiking. Please, Leah, don't. Your life is precious, don't put it to risk that way. I see too many pictures now of young people who have disappeared without a trace. Please, please don't! Glad I came This Way?... Yes, I have traveled extensively and hope to always be a traveler! Now, I must say that I want you to know your comments have been taken to heart and I thank you again for every one of them. If I missed anything, you can come into the forum to contact me more directly by posting a message or sending me an e-mail. I do welcome and appreciate feedback! Thanks again, Leah, and remember I'm one of your new fans as well! Ha! Ha!
