Becoming A Family
02:54

Sitting here and thinking ‘bout, these years we’ve spent together
What a blessing you have brought into my life
I thought I’d nearly lost you, watched you slowly fall to pieces
Til with time and work your laughter came alive
But it wasn’t only your life, that you changed as time went by
I’ve been standing right beside you everyday
We have worked so hard, We have learned so much
How to talk, How to trust, You and me
Starting our life together, Becoming a family
Opening our hearts, was just the start of what we needed
As we slowly figured out just what to say
I’ve watched your world expanding, seen the sorrow disappearing
As our home filled up with laughter and love
But it wasn’t only your life, that you changed as time went by
I’ve been standing right beside you everyday
We have worked so hard, We have learned so much
How to talk, How to trust, You and me
Starting our life together, Tell me what you see
What a life we’ve built together, Loving our family

Angels
04:00

Do you remember, how you dreamed them
Living high up in the clouds
Drifting down to guard us children
All that heaven would allow
Glancing round now my spirits different
I see angels all anew
Exotic lines and curves so supple
Heavens changed a little too
Am I too old, for angels
Am I too old, to watch them fly
Am I too old, for angels
Will I see them if I try
Have I learned, to show my daughter
Who she is, can never be wrong
Can I share with her, these new angels
Can I share with her my song
Am I too old, for angels
Am I too old, to watch them fly
Am I too old, for angels
Will I see them if I try
Shall she gaze upon the woman
That her mother hides inside
Will it change her life to know this
Part of me I always hide
Am I too old, for angels
Am I too old, to watch them fly
Am I too old, for angels
Will I see them if I try
Am I too old, for angels
Breaking free oh I feel them fly
Flying now, with angels
Taking me for one more ride
Taking me for one more ride

Through this mirror, I can see you,
In the room, right down the hall
Reflecting, the love I’m feeling
As the mirror, frames it all
You didn’t notice, as I came towards you
Headphones on, guitar in hand
The music growing, the rhythm beating
And I thank god, that you’re my man
This is what I wish for us
My prayer said in the morning
This is what I wish for us
As I'm opening my eyes
Let life be healthy,
Let us grow old with love and laughter
Let life be happy
To find the dreams we thought were lost
Let life be plenty
And share time with those who love us
All this and more, is what I wish for us
Your cheek, feels warm, beneath my fingers
A smile that starts, from deep inside
My heart, lets go into that moment
Where trust and fear collide
This is what I wish for us
My prayer said in the daylight
This is what I wish for us
As I'm reaching for your hand
Let life be healthy,
Let us grow old with love and laughter
Let life be happy
To find the dreams we thought were lost
Let life be plenty
And share time with those who love us
All this and more, is what I wish for us
This is what I wish for us
My prayer said in the evening
This is what I wish for us
As I’m drifting off to sleep
Let life be healthy,
Let us grow old with love and laughter
Let life be happy
To find the dreams we thought were lost
Let life be plenty
And share time with those who love us
All this and more, is what I wish for us
All this and more, is what I
I wish for us

Close the door, I need time to repair me
Home alone, I can just let go
I’m so tired, so drained and empty
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tonight I’m on my own
The night has played out, the moonlight is fading
Laughter’s echoes ring soft in my ears
No smiles needed, got nothing to say now
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Does it make a difference if I don't have the answers
Does it make a difference if I shut out the world
Does it make a difference if I bury it, deny it, hide it
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Shoes discarded dirty clothes on the carpet
Please don’t ask, cause I’ve got nothing to give
It’s just the sounds of my own breathing
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Does it make a difference if I don't have the answers
Does it make a difference if I shut out the world
Does it make a difference if I bury it, deny it, hide it
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Tomorrow, I'll be ready to face the dawn
But, tonight I wanna sit here on my own
Oh on my own

A campfire night, like ones long passed,
like ones still yet unknown
It brought me back, as songs can do,
to timeless nights long gone
So close your eyes, and drift away,
a smile upon your face
That same guitar, that same soft glow,
and voices interlaced
Our hopes were all brand new those days,
the aches much more skin deep
With firelight and melodies,
a beautiful release
So give yourself into the night,
into another dream
For firelight and melodies,
are more than what they seem
I’ll listen to the tale you tell,
and hope for still one more
Don’t end this night, by firelight,
It’s what we’ve come here for
A friend to share the nighttime with,
another one to see
That times we’ve grown, and times we’ve known,
give way to memories
Our hopes were all brand new those days,
the aches much more skin deep
With firelight and melodies,
a beautiful release
So give yourself into the night,
into another dream
For firelight and melodies,
are more than what they seem
it's more than what they seem
A campfire night, like ones long passed,
like ones still yet to come
It brought me back, as songs can do,
to timeless nights long gone
So close your eyes, and drift away,
but pull today along
For firelight, and timeless nights,
add life to one more song
Our hopes were all brand new those days,
the aches much more skin deep
With firelight and melodies,
such a beautiful release
So give yourself into the night,
into another dream
For firelight and melodies,
are more than what they seem
For firelight and melodies,
are more than what they seem

Contradiction
04:00
|
|||

I am a contradiction, I’m arrogant and sure
Immodest and seductive, I’m humble and demure
I’m starry eyed and cheerful, a friend to all I see
Disheartened, disillusioned, awash in misery
I’m starry eyed and cheerful. Watch me now as I move on
Will you follow where I lead you
Will this sadness soon be gone
Will you follow where I lead you
Will this sadness soon be gone
I see you, will I let you know I noticed
I reach you, as the walls come tumbling down
What I feel, and what, I show you
Collided when, you said my name
I’ll boldly walk into your life, assertive through and through
And cautiously I’ll watch you, as you move across the room
I am a contradiction, dominant and strong
I’ll submit without resistance, If you’ll only play along
Out of ammo and courageous. Never flinching as I go
Too shocked and scared to move on
From that very first hello
Too shocked and scared to move on
From that very first hello
I see you, will I let you know I noticed
I reach you, as the walls come tumbling down
What I feel, and what, I show you
Collided when, you said my name
Do you really want to meet me
Take me home and lay me down
Will I scratch your back and bite you
Will I come without a sound
Will I scratch your back and bite you
Will I come without a sound

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love, so sweetly
Tonight, the light, of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting, treasure
Or just a moment's, pleasure
Can I, believe, the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words, unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart, be broken
When the night, meets the morning sun
I'd like to know, that your love
Is love I can, be sure of
So tell, me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

Every year, I believe
Maybe I should go away
Leave him alone, to grieve on his own
Let the healing begin without me near
But I stay
When April comes next year, I'll be ready
When April comes next year, I won't be walkin' out the door
He grows stronger every year, drowning less in waves of tears
We’re in this, together, When April comes next year
Yeah, We’re in this, together, When April comes next year
A spark inside, his heart had died
When she took her life that day
Emotions flood above him, all I can do is love him
And be a guiding hand along the way
So I stay
When April comes next year, I'll be ready
When April comes next year, I won't be walkin' out the door
He grows stronger every year, drowning less in waves of tears
We’re in this, together, When April comes next year
Yeah, We’re in this, together, When April comes next year
And I don't understand, why you act the way you do
Your temper starts, it catches me off-guard
It comes as a surprise, until I realize
It's April again
When April comes next year, I'll be ready
When April comes next year, You won't find me walkin' out the door
He grows stronger every year, drowning less in waves of tears
Oh we’re in this, together, When April comes next year
Yeah we’re in this, together, When April comes next year

I'm Not Here To Save You
04:34
|
|||
|
When the weight has got too heavy
And your tears are pouring down
You can call me anytime girl, I’ll be there
When you feel the highway calling
And that itch to run away
Put those car keys on the table, I’ll be there
You make me proud, watching you growing
You make me smile, watching you try
You make me cry, knowing your struggles
Wishing my love, could ease your pain
But I’m not here to save you, I’m not the one who can
I’m just a hand to hold, a loving smile
Cause I’m not here to save you, I’m not the one who can
My strength can only shield you for awhile
I can listen to your fears girl
I can listen to your dreams
But the one who makes it happen, it’s only you
You make me proud, watching you growing
You make me smile, watching you try
You make me cry, knowing your struggles
Wishing my love, could ease your pain
But I’m not here to save you, I’m not the one who can
I’m just a hand to hold, a loving smile
Cause I’m not here to save you, I’m not the one who can
My strength can only shield you for awhile
Cause I’m not here to save you
Cause I’m not here to save you
Cause I’m not here to save you
Cause I’m not here to save you
Cause I’m not here to save you, I’m not the one who can
I know you might feel like you're on your own
But you're not alone

Coming Home To Me
03:42
|
|||
|
Anytime you say it with heart
Anytime you're falling apart
When you're washing the sheets
Any stranger you meet
When there's somebody waving goodbye
You're coming home to me, just remember
You're coming home to me
In a world full of bar rooms and alleys
Of blue nights and red river valleys
When you feel, like a shirt
and a tie, or like dirt
Or a lion, and no one can see
You’re coming home to me, just remember
You're coming home to me
When you get to that place
That's just under the stars,
Hanging over the tree, at a quarter to three,
When you get there you'll know,
That's as far as you’ll go
When you get there you'll see
You were already free
When you, get there you'll
La la, la la la, La la la, la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
When you're lost and you're found
And you're found and you're lost
When you're dancing with no one around
You're coming home to me, just remember
You're coming home to me
