Lyrics By Novelist and Spiritual Teacher Joseph John (JJ) Dewey

Here's some more of my songs. Too bad you can't hear the melodies. These are a romantic flavor written in the late 1960's.

I See The Wonderful
(circa late 1960's)

I look into your eyes
I see into your mind
I see wonder wonder wonder
I see the wonderful

I feel into your heart
I sense your feelings deep
I feel wonder wonder wonder
I feel the wonderful

I see the wonderful
I see the wonderful
I see wonder wonder wonder
I see the wonderful

The world of wonderful
Is inside of you
It is what I am seeking seeking
It's what I want to keep

I walk into your world
A refuge from the storm
A light is always burning burning
In your world of living light.

I see the wonderful
I see the wonderful
I see wonder wonder wonder
I see the wonderful

  


  

There's No Substitute for Happiness
(circa 1966)

There's no substitute for happiness
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's No Substitute for Happiness
There's no other way

There's No Substitute for virtue
And it is something good
That you need to find
There's No Substitute for true love
That you've left behind

I know that you've been sad
Trying everything that come along
You think the world is bad
But you're not where you belong
If you follow every smile
Your joys will only last but a while
If you try everything
What will your life bring
But emptiness.

  


  

Many Ways of Love
(circa 1969)

There's many ways of love
That we need to know
Many ways of love
So that it can grow
Many ways of love
And let me begin
To name one or two for you.

There's love at first sight
Even though that it is rare
You can let it grow
With tender loving care
Many ways of love
And let me begin
To name one or two for you.

I can fall in love with your kisses, with your smile, with your eyes.
I can fall in love with your words, with your thoughts, with your mind.
There's many many many ways of love
Many many many ways of love
Doesn't matter who you're dreaming of
There's many many many ways of love

You can fall in love
And know that it's for real,
You can fall in love
With the way I make you feel
Many ways of love
And let me begin
To name one or two for you.

I can fall in love with your kisses, with your smile, with your eyes.
I can fall in love with your words, with your thoughts, with your mind.
There's many many many ways of love
Many many many ways of love
Doesn't matter who you're dreaming of
There's many many many ways of love

You can want me near
And never understand
You can want me for
What I really am
Many ways of love
And let me begin
To name one or two for you.

There's many many many ways of love
Many many many many ways of love
Doesn't matter who you're dreaming of
There's many many many ways of love

  


  

How Can I Help But Love You?
(circa 1966)

How can I help but love you?
You know it's true
Yes it is, How could I ever help but love you.

How can I help but need you?
You know I do
O-O-Oh, How can I ever help but need you?

How can I help but miss you?
You know I will
O-O-Oh, How can I ever help but miss you?

If I leave you standing there looking for the sun
I will think of you each day and love when it was young
When it was young.

How can I go away?
And leave you today?
How could I ever leave you this way?

How can I say goodbye...
With that look in your eyes?
I'll have to turn my head
And go my way.

If I leave you standing there looking for the sun
I will think of you each day and love when it was young
When it was young.
