My Captain

Remember me my Captain

For I remember you

My heart had stop beating

But now it beats for you

Each marching to a different drum

Until we met that night

Parting was such sweet sorrow

Together we were right

I said that I'd be back again

To once more be in your arms

Meet me by the little church

I'll surrender to your charms

Remember me the way I was

The night that we did part

For I am holding your memory

Inside this beating heart

To Get A Job

I followed you to get a job

To get inside the Hub

I pestered you to get that job

Until you'd had enough

But finally I won the day

But it broke my heart

For I had fallen deep in love

And I knew that from the start

I put her deep inside the Hub

Where no one else would go

I tried to cure her on my own

No help from others I know

But it was never to be for me

My secret was found out

I betrayed the one I loved

And it was all to come to nought

For her life was not mine to save

And save her I could not

Now I have to face the truth

And live with my awful lot

I hope one day you can trust me

And forgive me for what I've done

For I will always love you

Until my life is done

Watching Over Me

Someone must have been watching over me

On the day that I found you

No clouds where visible in the sky

It was a delicate shade of blue

The day was warm and breathless

Nothing to mare my day

Just this vision of manhood

Walking down the street my way

My heart was calling out to you

But the beating made no sound

Only I could hear it

In my chest I could feel it pound

No other love had made me feel

The way I did today

If only you would turn your head

And look at me the same way

And then the wish I wish came true

You were standing next to me

You hand was holding my hand

It was what was meant to be

No longer am I lonely

With no one to call my own

Now this man is beside me

My heart has found it's home

The moral to this poem

To finding your true love

Is to rely on your heart beat

And intervention from above

When I Think Of You

When I thing about you, which is all the while

Mere words cannot express how I feel about you

The way you smile that innocent smile

The simple gestures, the things you do

I tried to hide the feeling inside

For I thought you'd never feel the same

But now I no longer have to hide

My heart skips a beat when you speak my name

I know this love is new to you

And you'll need time to adjust

And I will always be there for you

Till the end of days if I must

You look so sure of yourself standing there

And I feel so much love here inside

I stand before you, my heart laid bare

As I look at you with such pride

We'll live this life together

Make love and planning our future

For I will leave you never

Our days will be filled with pleasure

So stay with me now and forever

In these loving arms of mine

And say you will leave me never

Your love to me is divine

Why, God

Why, God, did you take him from me

When everything was going so right

At last my life was so complete

And no more fear of the night

Why, God, did you take his life

When you knew what he meant to me

He was more than my lover

He was everything to me

Why, God, did you take this man

When he did nothing wrong

But followed me into a fray

And now his life is gone

Why, God, am I left feeling this way

My life will never be the same

I can't believe in you anymore

And I'm holding you to blame

You didn't care how I would feel

You took him from this life

Leaving me broken hearted

It cut through me like a knife

Once I believed in you

But not anymore

You have no heart God

You took the man I adore

I'm left here alone now

And somehow must carry on

But how the hell can I do that

When Ianto Jones is gone

TAKEN TOO SOON

DEAR JACK

I'M UP IN THE CLOUDS LOOKING DOWN ON YOU

SEEING THE SADDNESS IN YOUR EYES AND NO SMILE

MY HEART IS BREAKING ENOUGH FOR US TWO

FOR I KNOW YOUR STILL LONELY ALL THE WHILE

I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED

WHEN I WOUND UP AT THE PEARLY GATES ABOVE

GOD HAD TAKEN ME AWAY FROM ALL I ADORED

FROM THE ONE MAN THAT I TRUELY LOVED

NO WORRIES NOW FOR ME ABOUT GROWING OLD

OR WONDERING IF MY HAIR WILL TURN GREY

NO WAITING AROUND FOR YOU TO COME HOME

OR MY GROWING OLD WILL DRIVE YOU AWAY

NO STAYING BY THE PHONE WHEN I'M WRINKLED

OR WONDERING IF YOU'D STAY WITH ME

I CAN JUST LAZE AROUND HEAVEN, I'M TOLD

FOR ETERNITY, NOW HERE I'LL BE

I'M WALKING ON CLOUDS UP ABOVE YOU

MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE SAFE AND SOUND

WONDERING WHY THE SKY IS SO BLUE

WHEN IT KNOWS I'M NO LONGER AROUND

SOMEDAY, WHEN YOU FIND THE RIGHT DOCTOR

AND HE TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

ONCE AGAIN, YOU WILL BE MY PROTECTER

WHEN ON DYING, TO HEAVEN YOU'LL GO

TOGETHER WE'LL BE THEN FOREVER

AND I WILL BE BACK BY YOUR SIDE

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL LEAVE ME NEVER

YOU'RE MY FRIEND, MY LOVER, MY GUIDE

LOVE, IANTO

When I woke up

When I woke up this morning

You were still by my side

I thought I might have been dreaming

But my joy I could not hide

Once you belonged to another

To her your heart did belong

But she died so suddenly

And you tried so hard to be strong

It started with a smile, a gesture

So subtle I almost missed my chance

To show you the love in my heart

That this new start was part of life's dance

So timid and shy were you at first

I thought my plan might not come true

But I couldn't believe my luck when

I received my first kiss from you

Now you have become like a glove

That fits my hand so perfectly

And our love will grow together

Just my Ianto Jones and me

I watch you by my side sleeping

And wonder if you feel it too

The love radiates from you to me

We are one of the chosen few

You wake to find me staring

For what else am I meant to do

This beautiful vision before me

Yes, Ianto Jones, it's you

Without You

It's been 5 months since you left me

And my heart still can't comprehend

Why, God should take you from me

Will this heartache ever end?

Will I meet another lover?

Love them the way that I loved you?

For me there will be no other

My heart has been broken in two

The pain I felt then is still with me

I don't think it will ever go way

I close my eyes, you're all I see

From then, up to this day

I make it through the days somehow

But at night I hate sleeping alone

I wish the clocks were turned back now

And you were here, back home

Still, I go on believing

That one day we'll meet again

That you will be beside me

I we will both be free of this pain

One day I hope to join you

If the right Doctor comes along

And we will be together again

And we will never again be alone

You and me

The streets are all dark and quiet tonight

We can rest and enjoy our company

No aliens or Weevils to disturb us

It's just us, alone, you and me

Nobody else in the Hub this evening

We can do just what we want

Enjoy each other totally

We care about others opinion, not

We'll play our favourite past time

We'll enjoy the time spent, you and me

It's naked hide and seek tonight

I promise, I'll let you find me

And when we get tired of the games

We'll think of something else to do

For time spent with you is so wonderful

For I'm so in love with you

Time on this earth is so precious

When time is ticking away

I have forever to live in

But you must live day to day

I am immortal and can't die

But that my love you won't become

I'd give my right arm for you

But that day will never come

So we live for today, you and I

Love in the moment right now

For Jack and Ianto will live on

And love in this lifetime somehow

And when the time comes to part

As we know one day it will be

I will be sad and alone then

And you will no longer be with me

But why worry that pretty head of yours

When it is so far away

Let's not think of that future

Let's think of you and me today

Your fool

They say a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I read you?

I just sit here watching your every move

But I still don't know what to do

If I get it wrong, you'll walk away

And I'll be left on my own

I need instructions to know how to play

I sit hours by the telephone

If you knew what was in my heart

I wonder if our lives would connect

But I was afraid of you right from the start

And I just don't know what to do next

One day, who knows, I might get bolder

And tell you just how I feel

Maybe then you will understand I'm much older

And realise my feeling are real

Who knows what the future my bring

I don't understand you at all

I love you, worship you love most everything

But you don't notice me, I'm your fool

We, my love, are oceans apart

Yet I can't stop loving you

I can't get you out of my heart

I wish I was in yours, too

Maybe the future will be brighter

And help this poor fool win the prize

Maybe the fool is just a dreamer

To want a dream to come true this size

But I'll go on just pretending

That you love me as I do you

Yes, I will go on pretending

And hope my one becomes two

Your Love

If your love was money

I'd be rich as rich could be

Is your love was honey

I'd be a bumble bee

If your love was fresh air

I'd breathe you all the time

If your love was worth a dare

I'd spend my very last dime

If your love was up for sale

I'd spend a million pounds

For your love will never pale

And my heart knows no bounds

Just please let us stay this way

In love so deep are we

From morning to the end of the day

Still wrapped in love eternally

Endless days of happiness

And nights of making love

You are the one to whom I confess

All the love in my heart is from above

So never change or leave me

For my poor heart would break

And I'd be poorer for the loss you'd see

And my body would surely ache
