The Way We Were

Memories light the corners of my mind

Misty color watered memories

Of the way we were


Pictures of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we had with our sweet Swami

Of the Way we were


Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time rewritten every line

And if we had a chance to do it all again

Tell me could we, would we?


Memories may be beautiful and yet

What is painful to remember

tears cause us to forget

His face appears now

And we remember, whatever we remember

Of the way we were



2 Born Free


Born free as free as the wind blows

As free as the grass grows

Born free to follow your heart


Live free as Atma surrounds you

The world will astound you

And you will know who you are


Stay free with no walls around you

You're one with the roaring tide

So there's no need to hide


Be free and life is worth living

It's always worth living

Cause you are free free



3 To Dream the Impossible dream


To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To have full faith and not sorrow

To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrighteous wrong

To love pure and chaste from afar

To try though your arms are so weary

To reach Sri Sathya Sai stars

This is my quest

To follow Sai's stars

No matter how hopeless

No matter how far

To fight for the Truth

Without question or pause

To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only have faith

In His glorious quest

That my heart will be peaceful and calm

And my soul takes rest

And the world will be better for this

A devotee though still covered with scars

Will strive with full faith in Sai Baba

To reach the eternal Sai Stars


4 Speak Softly (The Godfather)

Speak softly Sai and hold me warm against your heart

I hear you speak and tender trembling moments start

I'm in a world, my very own

Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine colored days warmed by the sun, Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly Sai so no one hears us but the sky

The vows of love I make

will live on until I die

My life is yours and all because

You came into my world

So softly Sai.





5 Where do I Begin


Where do I begin to tell the story

Of how great a love can be

The sweet love story that is older than the sea

The simple truth about the love you gave to me

Where do I start

With your first Sai Ram

You gave a meaning to the empty world of mine

There'll never be another love, another time

You came into my life and made it so divine

You fill my heart

You fill my heart with very special things

With angel songs, and sweet imaginings

You fill my soul with so much love

That anywhere I go I'm never lonely

With you around, who could be lonely

I reach for your hand, it's always there

How long does it last. Can time be measured like the hours in a day

I have no answer but this much I can say

I know I'll need you til the stars all burn away

And you'll be there


6 I Remember You


I remember you

You''re the one who made my dreams come true

A few Darsans ago


I remember you' I said that I loved you, yes I do,

I do, and you seemed to know

I remember to a distant bell

and stars that fell like rain out of the blue


When my life is through

And the angels ask me to recall the bliss of it all

Then I shall tell them,I remember you






7 There's a Place for Us


There's a place for us, somewhere a place for us

Peace and quiet, another plane

Wait for me again


There's a time for us

Another time for us

Time together at your Dear Feet

Time to learn. Lessons repeat


Someday, somewhere

I'll find a new way of seeing

Darsan and a new way of being

Somewhere


There's a place for us

A time and place for us

Hold my hand as I leave the world

Hold my hand, as a new life unfurls

Somehow, Swami, with you


8 I Only have Eyes for You


Are the stars out tonight

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright

Cause I only have eyes for you, Sai


The moon may be high

but I can't see a thing in the sky

Cause I only have eyes for you


I don't know if I'm in a garden

Or in a long and crowded Que


I am here, so is Sai

Maybe millions of people go by

But they all disappear from view

Cause I only have eyes for you
