In a room full of strangers, they all know your name/ some see old mistakes made, some only see fame
Every night you’re on my mind/ so filled with light, loving and kind
Plant hope in every town, like gardens in the ground, enjoyed for generations to come
Somehow we survived when so many others died, and the weight is always on our minds
Eyes dance like flames, everybody’s having fun
Turning tides, it’s time to fly Let’s make the past a memory
Reach out your hand, and hold on tight, Tonight we’ll all fly free
We start to shine when grace runs free, and we all live in harmony (Slight twist to the first few words from my earlier post—I should have worked it a bit longer ??)
Our love will shine when Grace runs free, and we all live in harmony
It’s now or never, all together, Grace will set us free
Together again, with all these new friends, It’s finally time to break free
Come on home and free YOUR soul." "Leave behind YOUR time alone"," Love's OUR light and shining star","Come on home, it's not that far (This one’s a collab with Linda Corey)
I’m coming home to free my soul Left behind my time alone Love’s my light and shining star I’m coming home to where you are
Love will set things right Love will lead the way Set the dream in motion Love is here to stay
Let’s meet up for some relief, let go of our sorrow, give each other what we need, a new & bright tomorrow
It’s time we all break free, time for a fresh start, will you be my relief, and help me heal this bent up heart?
The rain subsides, you dry my eyes, I feel you breathe beside me
Step into the night, the world sees your light, when your body moves, oh you sparkle
Shake off the dirt, let go of the hurt, imagine the last time I saw you
It's been a long year, I need you near, My beating heart on the dance floor
Gettin' Down to Light You UP
I’m here to help you run/ I swear your dreams aren’t done
Let this truth be told/ you won’t be alone
Let me follow through/ I will carry you
Let this be the truth/ I will follow through
Deep in the night, here in the cold I see the fight, pray for your soul
Things might seem bad, but you’re not alone/ tell me ‘bout the people waiting for you back home
You fought on land and sailed the sea/It's time to be free
You gave your heart so freedom rings/you taught your brothers everything
I'll carry you anywhere you need to go/it's time to go home
I'll carry your pack, we'll walk real slow/I'll listen to the words you want me to know
The letter starts I’m here to say, I made it through another day, just barely
Step in time, eyes on me/ I’m gonna teach you everything you need to know
I’ll be right here, looking over your shoulder
Step in time, don’t hesitate Til it’s over
Strap on your boots and grab your gear/ we’ll make this a banner year for the ages
Just hold on tight you won’t have one regret
You ain’t leavin my side for brighter days just yet
You’ll earn your wings, but not today
We reached the dream we were hoping to see & tomorrow can’t take it away.
We slow down our pace, and move with more grace, as we long for a fresh new start
I take a walk to clear my head, something in the words you said/ urgency I can’t forget, suddenly I’m coming to my senses
I had that dream once again, in it you came round and said, boy you better make some better choices
Trying hard to find my groove, trying to get back to you/ Trying but some days I only lose
Down and dirty in the street trying to beat the summer heat/ Ashes from a cigarette at my feet
I’m full of self doubt today running out the door / Trying to make a life somehow, but what’s it all for?
Slam the door, I’m running late, can’t hear a single word you say/ Calling after me from down the hall, I didn’t sleep at all
I run cross town to catch my bus No time to eat no time to fuss/ My thoughts come back to us then fade away
Running late I’m leaving now, Slam the door, feeling down/ I miss the words you scream out in the hall/ don’t care at all
And if these new hours, bring us strength and power
I can’t go back in time
Like one last kiss goodbye
I planned a hundred years
I’ll pour champagne at midnight and toast the first sip
I’ll write letters to loved ones and seal with a kiss
I’ll laugh & tell stories, so thankful I’m blessed
I’ll count stars in the night and leave each one a wish
I’ll sail oceans at sunset with friends I cherish
Climb mountains at sunrise and breathe in the mist
Count my todays with people I cherish
Post pictures of laughter my hair all a mess
(I’ll) Dance through the streets wearing my favorite dress
Take in every sunrise and dance in the mist
Forgive every sorrow cause my life’s been blessed
Put my goodbyes into every last kiss
(I'll) promise forever's in our last kiss
The high tide of tears that crashed down on the shore/ sometimes still come around
I fell to my knees way more times than I’ve told/ but I carried on somehow
Baby your memory stayed here to haunt me
These memories of you stay right here in my heart/ your legacy makes me feel proud
You bring the sunshine and hope into my life
No pile of money and no amount of fame / Can buy you the peace you want now
If I fall from grace I’ll survive it somehow / I’ll get my dreams off the ground
I can’t stop the lord when he’s calling my name/ Baby I’ll find peace somehow
My heart takes a minute to beat without you in it/
I look up to the heavens, and pray that you’re alright/ I tell the stars I love you in the middle of the night
(Comment) in most popular two lines came up together from Steve Huff and Greg Litt that might be cool if they’re combined into something like: ——Steve Huff and Greg Lit combined—- Love goes on forever, memories never die/ The message that you sent still brings tears to my eyes OR Love goes on forever, memories never fade/ The message that you sent can never be erased (not my idea, I just happened to read them one after another) ? —-
On this beach we tell our tales of favorite days gone by / We toast to you and talk about the way you changed our lives
Her eyes sparkled when she laughed, she stood out from the crowd We made a pact like lovers do to live our lives out loud
Chairs in circles round the fire Flames are dancing ever higher / Memories roll through my mind Like a movie of most special times
Inner circle lots of laughs Neath the open sky/ Singing dancing lovin’ dreaming Lighting up the night
Driving south just you and me/ Contemplating everything / A big wild world for us to see/ Let’s chase our dreams
Dressed to the nines or in our Kix really doesn’t matter
We keep the weather in our hearts so nothing slows us down / I hop a plane to spend some time with you out on the town
Memories come flooding back when I open the door
Every summer same ol’ thing, beach house on the shore
Lookin’ back on where I’ve been/ young love and a little sin/ no regrets no worryin’ (yeah)
Fire burned for a little while/ no regrets and a knowing smile/ sweet love set me free/ with a memory
One touch left in the past girl
One love torn in half girl
Two hearts that broke in half girl
One night I look back on
You were my sweet dream girl
One mem’ry of the past girl
A love that wouldn’t last / it went too fast
Like a dream you drifted by / on borrowed time
The love we had would only last ‘til morning light
I remember that spring break/ like it was only yesterday
After graduation day/ we went our separate ways
Even after all the fun/ we both moved on
I woke up with the morning sun/ and found you were gone
Looking at your face I feel brave
I Learned About Love (a Little Too Late)
From falling apart to finding my future
Falling Out of Love Isn’t Fatal
As I walk through the door I catch a whiff of her perfume / And all the thoughts that come to mind are only about you
I'll Rise Up
And faith I'll be worthy of your grace
And faith I'll be lost in your embrace
And spendin’ Forever in your arms
movin' with you / so spiritually
Taste of your lips and, that look in your eye / Turns me on to this natural high
I hear you breathing, I feel you move / nothing between us in here but the truth
Your lips taste like hints of Sonoma Merlot / I feel your body takin it slow
Your silhouette softens in the dimly lit room/ I hear your music / I feel your groove
Your silhouette softens in the dimly lit room/ I hear you breathing/ I feel you move
You lift lift soul / I’m walking on air / Through all the ways you show me you care
You’re so divine/ you take me there / the answer to my prayer
In you I see / we can achieve / all the dreams we share
In your eyes I see / That we can achieve / All of these dreams we share
How’d we become/ two hearts that share
How did we find/ This love we share
You make me believe / In my hopes and dreams
Humble and true / Still can’t believe / That I’ve got you / Oh girl / I was so unaware / I’d find someone so rare
Someone devine / I’m lost in you girl / And you’re all mine / Oh babe / You’re the answer to my prayer / To find someone so rare
Girl you inspire / Open my heart and / Fulfill my desire / Oh babe / Trust me girl, I swear / You’re someone so rare
Reach out your hand Your healing touch Makes me a better man
Oh you are / heavenly
You're the one / I come undone
In this world/ of everything
you're unreal / how's it feel
lay it down / light me up
You’ve got me flyin’ on a natural high/ (this line was crafted by Ben Cart and myself)
I’ve traveled the world not expecting to find / That one in a million girl to stand by my side
Your body’s so hot as it melts into mine
You've got such style, you're sexy and bold / When you look at me girl, I lose all control
Ain't no mistakin' you're one of a kind / That look in your eyes says you want to be mine
When you look at me, you know I can’t look away / I just catch my breath, and there’s nothing to say
I was running Cannon Beach, when I saw your tattoo / Two little hearts, one broken and one blue
I see pink-painted toes moving through the sand / walking along the ocean hand in hand
I’ve set two places at the table, poured the wine and water / Tonight’s our ten-year celebration, friends can watch our daughter
She sets two places at the table Pours the wine and water Tonight’s our ten-year celebration Friends can watch our daughter
She sets two places at the table, pours the wine and water
Set her free and watch her soar/ she leads us all to something more
She’s never done and never tires/ she’s upbeat and she inspires everyone
She is strong, she is bold, her hand becomes the one to hold onto
Make a wish, never fear, dry her eyes, and kiss away her falling tears/ Hold her tight, say you care, let the magic fill the air with love
Make a wish, hold on tight, overcome, keep up the fight/ She is strong, she is bold, her hand becomes the one to hold onto
Make a wish, start to fly, all she wants her life to be is still inside/ Time to soar, set her free, show the world who she can be today.
Deep inside she’s gonna find, Courage, hope, and peace of mind/ she breathes/ hopes and dreams
Her pain’s somethin’ we can’t feel, she washes scars that haven’t healed
Guitar in hand she starts to play, her dreams ain’t gonna get away
Whispers in the morning light, Dreamed my biggest dream last night
Her dreams ain’t gonna get away, and you see her light fill the room
Her dreams are comin’ true today, And her light fills up the room
As you prepare for sleep tonight, there’s something you should know / an angel might appear and ask you where you want to go
Title/ Til we learn to forgive
She speaks to your heart, taps on your soul/ you turn back and whisper, it’s time to let go
Wipe away her tears, and take her by the hand/ you know that you’ll always be her man
Wipe away her tears, get down on bended knee/ take her hand and say, baby marry me
It feels good to know, we’ll always be friends/ but baby we both know, this is where it ends
I don’t say the words, I just look in your eyes, I feel so hurt baby, but at least I tried
1st line 3rd verse: Pull back on the bow, forgive sins of the past/ shoot straight up into a new love that lasts
my fingers tap the wheel/ the storms roll in, and in my head, I tell you how I feel
As hours pass the skies turn dark, my fingers tap the wheel/ the storms roll in, and in my head, I tell you how I feel
That look on your face, when I apologize/is it contempt or forgiveness I see in your eyes
You can wallow in pity, or stand up and fight, move forward with grace, and do what’s right
Do you pray for redemption, and speak from regret/baby I’m sorry for the things you said
Is it just for redemption, or maybe regret/baby it’s rebuilding with collective intent
People take, people talk, people gripe, people balk/me, I’m putting stars in the sky, full of glitter and hope, with the only intention of making love shine, and baby to guide you home
Alarm goes off at 5 a.m. the coffee’s being poured / I want to live before I’m dead and don’t want to be bored
I'll see you on the other side, a twinkle in the sky; We'll be interstellar satellites along for the ride.
