Esteemed progeny: LYRICS

The longer you love

© 2025 Paul Heinz - All Rights Reserved

There’s no doubt the initial introduction
Provides all the function of seduction
To leave you riding high undeterred

But in time there’s a matter of transition
And some never temper the affliction
Of wanting things to stay as they were

Oh, life may not go just as you planned
But you won’t know what I know
Until you stand where I stand

The longer you love
The stronger love becomes
I’m telling you the longer you love
The stronger love becomes

It’s been said that emotions lose their vigor
And fires of passion start to flicker
And leave you trembling out in the cold

Sure, we grow old
But love ages like a fine wine
It needs to be nurtured and in good time
It’ll set your beating heart all algow

Oh, don’t give into a grim point of view
You can see what I see if you just see things through

The longer you love
The stronger love becomes
I’m telling you the longer you love
The stronger love becomes

It doesn’t grow weaker or meeker or bleaker
Although it’s been years since you met her
It only grows deeper so keep her you need her
Yes, this is your greatest endeavor

Oh, it takes courage to handle life’s curves
It’s time for you to earn what you think you deserve

It doesn’t grow weaker or meeker or bleaker
Since you found the wisdom to wed her
It only grows deeper so keep her you need her
You know that you’re better together
Love only grows richer and this is the picture
You’ve kept in your heart since you met her
So never stop trying and strive ‘til you’re thriving
Yes, this is your greatest endeavor

Two for the price of one

There’s a feeling that you’re on to something good
This bears repeating
You’re on to something good
And as you get there
You can be assured
We’ve got your backsides covered darlings

You are the priceless culmination
A linkage in a chain of generations

Two for the price of one
And look what you’ve become
Two for the price of one
The journey’s just begun

There are moments when I can’t believe my eyes
My mind is reeling
Do you ever get this feeling?
Cuz I remember only yesterday
You twirled your summer dresses, darlings

You are the sum of our ambitions
A journey from the past to new traditions

Two for the price of one
Sometimes I’m overcome by
Two for the price of one
Something’s just begun

Life of Invention

Here he comes
The man with many questions
You can’t begin to answer
He’ll always leave you guessing
Here he comes

Here he comes
He won’t wait ‘til tomorrow
The only time is now oh here he comes

He’s taking his mark at the starting line
And charting the course inside his mine

Xs and Ys, 1s and zeroes
With eyes on the prize comes the conquering hero
He won’t stay here long in the present dimension
He’s cracking the code to a life of invention

Here he comes
Whether wrestling with religion
Or seeped in indecision
Or pulsing with precision

Here he comes
And not to be outdone
He wields a rubric and a drum
Oh here he comes

He’s bound from blocks from the starting line
And running the race in record time
