Forever



Forever
Won’t you lie here with me
Lie down for a while
Put your head on my chest
Want to see your smile

Don’t you know
I’ll love you forever baby
I’d never walk away
I’d have to be crazy

For this love
This one is real
With you I am alive
With you I can feel

Safety in your arms
And comfort on your lips
You are my light
Life’s greatest gift

Your love is so sweet
Your heart is so pure
I’m lovesick
And there is no cure

For this love
This one is real
With you I am alive
With you I can feel

So stay in my arms love
Day and night
Give me your love
Never leave my sight

I’ll give you my all
For you I’d lay down my life
I’ll love you forever
Forever be my light




Watched Me Fall



Watched Me Fall
You watched me fall
Fall from grace

An outstretched hand
Took me by surprise
There you were
With concern in your eyes

You watched me fall
Fall from grace

You gave me strength
In a time of weakness
You gave me love
In a time of bleakness

You watched me fall
Fall from grace

An unexpected champion

Standing by my side
Shielded me from them
While I fell apart inside

You watched me fall
I fell from grace
They turned their backs on me
And you took their place

Possessed the pain
You stole it from me
Accepted the burden as yours
To let me be free

And as you watched
Watched me fall
You saved me
You took it all

You watched me fall
Fall from grace
You protected me
From ongoing disgrace

And if you fall love
I’ll be by your side
To pick you up
To be your guide


Take Me Away



Take Me Away
Take me away
To your special place
Where the butterflies soar
A land of make believe and folklore

Take me away
To that special place
Where the angels roam
And the sun has always shone

Your secret garden
Of peace and love
Where the darkness never falls
And poets write of

Take me away
Oh take me away
Free me from that world
Where angels fall and demons play

I’ve never seen such a place
The grass has never been greener
A place of romance and fantasy
Air has never been sweeter

This tangible place
That I don’t quite comprehend
Tell me I don’t have to leave
That it will never end


My Hero



My Hero
Took my tiny hand
Into yours
That first day
In the world

Never had your eyes
Or your laid back smile
Couldn’t play the guitar
But I was always your child

Was the first born
Even if I didn’t belong
Cry every time
I hear one of your songs

You raised a good girl
I bet you’d be proud
I often wonder
If you are watching from the clouds

Stolen moments
Never to be seen
But I’m hoping
You are finally free

Miss you every day
You and my son
My guardian angels
Watching from above

You’ll always be my hero
No matter how long you’ve been gone
You’ll always be my daddy
Even if I never belonged


The Worst Drug



The Worst Drug
Why do you do it?
Keep feeding that addiction
Can’t ever get enough
Enough of that friction

So you dress up nice
You sit at the bar
Waiting to catch the eye
Of your newest shining star

That stranger’s love
Only gonna bring you pain
But to you its better than a needle
Straight to the vein

A past like yours
Left you broken
I get it baby
It’s a heavy burden

Won’t be fixed
Until you love yourself
Respect that temple
Then you’ll know true wealth

Breaks my heart love
To see you struggling
Watching you fall apart
The woman before me crumbling

So love yourself
Just once
Give it a shot
Feel the fresh air in your lungs

Can’t watch you
Self destruct
Just can’t do it
Its just too much

Break the habit
End the cycle
Let it go
Don’t live in denial

Begging you baby
Kill the addiction
Your unending need
For that toxic friction
