My Songs

I've written several songs over the last few years.  Here are the lyrics to the ones I've completed, and the dates they were finished.

You're Everything (March 2009)

I'm missing you
And I hope you miss me too.
I wish that we were together
And that it could last forever.

Chorus
To me you are everything,
For you I'd do anything.
You've stolen my heart,
Oh, I can't bear when we're apart.
Your smile lights up my day.
I can't find the words to say
to tell you how much I love, love, love you.

I never knew what love could do,
I feel so alive inside.
I hope that you
will love me too
as long as we're alive.

(Chorus)

You're everything,
You're in my dreams,
You're all that I need.
So hold me now,
don't let me go,
just let these feelings flow.

(Chorus) 

The Mercy of the Lord (June 2009)

Why's it so easy to forget
the mercy of the Lord?
the consequences of these choices
that I have made before?

The sun was rising,
I was finding my way back to the light.
The spirit spoke,
And I had hope
of finally winning the fight.

Now the sun is setting
and I am betting
that I will never be free.
The spirit has fled,
my hope is dead,
crushed by my defeat.

Why's it so easy to forget
we're children of a God?
that we can stand through anything
if we hold tight to the rod?

I study each day
and constantly pray,
and I soon learn
my life can take a different turn

If I do not forget
the mercy of the Lord,
the sacrifice of His one Son,
and hearken to his words.

Now the sun is rising,
and I am finding my way back to the light.
The spirit speaks
and my hope peaks.
I will win this fight!

My Angel  (June or July 2009)

Lately I've been feeling
so inadequate.
I feel I'm sinking lower
every moment.

I need an angel
who sees the best in me,
who tells me I can be
exactly what she sees.

A rose blooming in the rockiest ground,
A start shining in the darkest of nights.

When she says she sees me
climbing the highest mountains,
I can't help but believe in myself.

I can bloom in the rockiest ground,
I can shine in the darkest night,
I can soar above the clouds.
I just need her there with me.

I can bloom, I can shine,
I can soar to the highest heights,
all I need is her love,
her supportive smile,
Her kind advice,
her sweet voice
that helps me choose the right choice,
her dazzling eyes that see through me
and help me be the best I can be.

Don't Leave Me (October 2009)

You told me that you loved me
as I held you in my arms.
And as I looked at you
I could tell you meant it.
But how far?

I thought it was settled,
eternity was ours.
But now I feel uncertainty
as I stare up at these stars.

Chorus
Don't leave me
when I need you most.
I was finally coming
to realize the truth.
I can't stay here,
I've got to move on.
But I can't without you.

I'm not asking you
To give me everything,
I just want you to show me
you care.
I just want a friendship
that's forever.

(Chorus)

Just give me some time,
I will get through this.
Just stay by my side,
I will move on.
But I can't without you.

What Can I Say? (June 2010)

It's happening again,
I thought it was the end
but now I start to see
endless possibilities.

You're always on my mind,
and I'm starting to find
that all I really want
is for you to be my one.

Chorus
You take my breath away
What can I say?
You're all I think about
and I just want to see
you smile at me
and hear you laugh that laugh
that brightens any day.
What can I say?

I saw you sitting there.
I longed to touch your hair.
But uncertainty held my hand at bay.

Do you think of me?
Do you dream what I dream?
I'd like to think my wishes can come true.
But if not,
You still (Chorus)

I'm longing to hold you,
but what can I do
when you're so far away?
I guess that I'll just try
to give you words of mine
to hold you when you feel alone,
but what can I say?

(Chorus)


What can I say?
I guess what I've been trying to do
is tell you that
I love you.


Why do you love me? (January 2011)

Why do you love me?
Why do you care?
I'm not deserving
of the love that you share.

I can't comprehend it,
I don't understand
why you're still reaching out to me
with your gentle hands.

Chorus:
I'm so unworthy of such tender love,
love as unfailing as the stars up above.
Though my weakness is clear,
I still find you here
loving me so perfectly.

I'm constantly falling
And losing my way.
I'm disappointing you
almost every day.

Yet you keep trying
to show me the light,
to reveal what you see in me
to my blinded sight.

(chorus)

As I try to stand,
I'll take your hand
That's been reaching to me from the start
I'm beginning to learn,
My hearts starting to burn
with the love that comes straight from your heart

(chorus)

Why do you love me?
Why do you care?
I'm not deserving
of the love that you share.

But I will keep trying
to live like I should,
to become the person
I know that I could.

And one day I hope that
I'll become like you,
I'll learn to be perfect,
And love like you do.

 Help Me Hope Again (February 2011)

Walking in shadow
so familiar to me now,
hope is such a fragile thing.
And now I'm thinking,
why do I try to stop the bleeding?
What could hoping possibly bring?

I tried believing,
I tried achieving,
all I found was failure and doubt.
What's the use in trying
when I've never succeeded in flying?
I just can't figure this out.

Help me now,
Help me know how
to hope for more
than before.
Help me see
what I can be,
take my hand,
help me stand.
Help me hope
for more than me.

This is not the first time
I've crossed this line,
I've been here before,
Staring down at the darkness
and once more startin'
to wonder why I even bother anymore.

But something keeps me hangin' on
so here I am writing this song,
maybe I want to try hoping again.

Help me now,
Help me know how
to hope for more
than before.
Help me see
what I can be,
take my hand,
help me stand,
give me hope.
Give me hope.

Help me hope again.

We Won't Forget (April 2011)

Time brings change
and we must say farewell
to what is past,
and who can tell
what the future will bring,
what songs we might sing?

I look back
at the last few years.
We shared laughs
and shed some tears.
And I'll never forget
What's happened here.

Chorus:

Here we stand at the threshold.
Here is the start of the rest of our lives.
Though we may be going our separate ways,
none of us will forget these days.

We came here
to start anew.
We showed ourselves
what we could do.
Out of enemies we made friends,
and here we are at the bittersweet end.

(chorus)

We won't forget
the struggles we had,
the triumphs and failures,
the happy and sad.
All of them are part of us now.
And we won't forget.

(chorus)
  
You Are (April 2011)

I've been thinking about endings;
passing on, moving on,
losing, and changing.
I've been searching for answers
to love and life,
death and strife,
unanswerable questions.
But there's one thing I know.

When I'm with you,
nothing else matters.
When I'm with you,
all my doubt shatters.
You are my guide through the night.
You are my answer.

I was stumbling through darkness,
cold and blind,
no hope to find,
lost in the shadow.
I was praying for something,
something to guide me,
to hold me, to save me.
And there's one thing I know.

When I'm with you,
nothing else matters.
When I'm with you,
all my doubt shatters.
You are my guide through the night.
You are my angel.

And I know that I may lose you
as we're moving on and changing,
but I'll never lose the answers you gave.
And know that you have led me
through the hard times and the sad times,
and I won't forget the angel you've been.
And remember:

When I'm with you,
nothing else matters.
When I'm with you,
all my doubt shatters.
You are my guide through the night.
You are my answer,
you are my angel,
you are my everything.
You are amazing.

 Life is Beautiful (February 2012)

I want to write a song,
oh, it's been so long
since I've given release
through a melody.
I don't know what I've been waiting for.
'Cause she's beautiful
and He's merciful,
and I can't wait for what the future holds.
I've got so much that I can sing about.
I'm gonna sing it loud!

I've got music in my soul.
Oh, life is beautiful.
I've got to sing
this melody
inside of me.

I've got so many choices
I'm needing to make.
There are so many voices
trying to show me the way.
Sometimes I'm just not sure what I should do.
But though there's so many ways
that I could go,
at the end of the day
there's one thing I know:
Whatever life brings, it will be wonderful.
'Cause God is in control.

I've got music in my soul.
Oh, life is beautiful.
I've got to sing
this melody
inside of me.
And no matter where I go,
it will be wonderful.
He will guide
my path tonight
back to his side.

There will be pain,
life will try to leave its stain.
There will be disappointment, sorrow, and fear.
But whatever goes wrong,
I will still sing this song,
'Cause the darkness must yield to the light.
All will be made right.

I've got music in my soul.
Oh, life is beautiful.
I've got to sing
this melody
inside of me.
And no matter where I go,
it will be wonderful.
He will guide
my path tonight
back to his side.

Oh, I've got music in my soul.
Life is beautiful.
Just got to sing
this melody
inside of me.
And though there will be downs,
there will always be the sound
of hope ringing so clearly.
And I hope I see
that life is beautiful.
