Every night I cut out my heart. But in the morning it was full again.

About Me



Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.

way down in new york town
thinkin bout the way she loved me
there's a hole in my pocket that's about her size
but i think everything is gonna be alright
yes i hope everything is gonna be alright
a smiling face is trade in l.a.
the gifts are found at the bar
well i wish my car
could drive to her tonight
then i'd know everything is gonna be alright
yes then i'd know it'll be alright
