© Written by Mike Charles michaelcharles@sky.com  MOB  O/S UK 044 7985 805020)
VERSE 
I wanna to pay tribute, to someone that I know
When my winters came you were there, when others let me go
I was turned inside out, my soul was cold and wet 
But you took my hand, gave me your shoulder you cared,  And I won`t forget 
CHORUS 
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
VERSE  
Life can be such a trial, It can sometimes make you lose
It can tease you and construct you, and then throw away the screws
If its going far to smoothly, then its too good to be true
So love your friends and family, be there for them, they`ll be there for you
CHORUS 
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
PRE CHORUS
When the road gets rough, and emotions say `enough`, 
I look back once again, I know you`ll  always be there
INSTRUMENTAL 
CHORUS
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through
CHORUS
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it, make it through
With you, with you, with you I`ll make it through--- END ---

                                                        I called him Lieutenant Dan
Purple Heart from Vietnam
Agent orange took his left arm
Always first on his feet
Singin’ “O say can you see”
His right hand pressed to his heart
			
	And he’d say - Life is learned with blood and sweat
	Kindness is earned just like respect
	Grandpa’s quartet was blood, sweat kindness and respect
 
Loved to sing Amazin’ Grace
Ev’ry mornin’ at daybreak
From his church, his tractor seat
Nine o’clock was his bedtime
He’d tell grandma we’re all fine
Right before he’d fall asleep
  					
	Life is learned with blood and sweat
	Kindness is earned just like respect
	Grandpa’s quartet was  blood, sweat  kindness and respect
	I won’t forget all he taught me
	But laugh how he sang so off key
	Life is learned with blood and sweat
	Kindness is earned just like respect
	Grandpa’s quartet he sang till the Lord said rest
	With blood, sweat, kindness and respect
	Blood, sweat, kindness and respect

                                                        Engrave My Heart 
The pain left no clues
What I should do 
When the life that I knew was gone
My world torn in two
I came to you
For a reason for me to go on
You knew exactly what to say, you healed the ache with love
You filled that empty hole with hope, you're part of me because 
       There was a gift in what you said 
       All my life, I'll hear it again
       "You're beautiful, you're strong, and you're enough 
       Remember most of all that you are loved"
       Replace my scars - engrave my heart 
You've been there for me  
So faithfully 
Someone like you's a rare find 
You helped me believe
What I couldn't see
I'm so grateful that you're in my life
You gave me something to remind me I’m forever blessed
When life is hard, I’ll think of you, my palm against my chest 
        Chorus
If you ever come to me, pain on your bravest face
I'll repeat your words to you, as my fingers gently trace
       "You're beautiful, you're strong, and you're enough 
       Remember most of all that you are loved"
       The promise that you engraved upon my heart

                                                    NOT GONNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND
                                                         
                                                     
                                                        I’m going to make the most of this. I’m going to cherish every kiss. I’m gonna Buy you every gift that I can afford. Because Maybe someday.  I’m not gonna be your boyfriend anymore 
I’m going to try to make you laugh. 
I’l even try to like the Cat 
I’m gonna sweep, mop, chop the logs, feed the dogs
And even take my boots off on the porch cause maybe someday I won’t be your boyfriend anymore
I can just see it now. Standing on Hawaii Shore.  If I could speed up time somehow to make sure I’m forever yours
I dream of 20 years from now holding your hand and sitting out on our porch.  When I won’t just be your boyfriend anymore
I think it sounds like a plan Babe 
I’ve never been this sure. 
I don’t have a clue what  my future holds 
I Just want to be in yours 
There’s nothing that can stop us now, go ahead and tell the world
I’m just glad you took a chance on me, nothing in the past to grieve the only way is forward. 
Because someday, someday I won’t be your boyfriend anymore. 
I can just see it now.White dress hanging off yer shoulders.  
Smiling walking down the aisle
Friends are all applaudin for us. 
I dream of 30 years from now holding your hand and sitting out on that wraparound porch.  Some day  
When I won’t just be your boyfriend anymore
I grasp my composure 
and I’m bad at proposals  but there you go wearing my ring. 
And I’m not gonna make this a big ole performance  Id rather get down on one knee 
just you and me.  
I’m going to make the most of this. I’m going to cherish every kiss. I’m gonna Buy you every gift that I can afford. Because Maybe someday.  I’m not gonna be your boyfriend anymore

Lyrics: Carrie Croteau, BMI
V1
In the hospital room
You sit and you stare
Holding her hand
You repeat your prayer
You pray that she'll make it 
Through one more night
That somehow
She'll find the will to fight
PC1
But even as the hours
Stretch on into days
A seed of light lives in the haze
C1	
The sun, it will come up again
To find you sitting
With a friend
V2
And you'll never see them
But they're there
You won’t feel them
As they stare
But up among the cobwebs
In the far corner of the room
There sits a being of love and light
 
PC2
And all will be right soon
In hospitals, they come and they go
C2
Harbingers of the ebb and flow
Their love paves the way
To help us leave or help us stay
Bridge:
You may not feel them kiss your brow	
But you’ll know you’ve been touched somehow
Ask a newborn baby
Or ask a dying soul
Take a look into their eyes
And you'll see they know
Outside the steaming towers blow
The birds they scream, the life you know
And in your mind the world seems cold
You doubt yourself and the faith you hold
The faith you hold...
V3
But shift your gaze
And look to the right
It must've been a trick of the light
PC3
Have you gone mad
Or did you see
A flash of some sweet divinity?
C3
Harbingers of the ebb and flow
Their love paves the way
To help us leave or help us stay
Harbingers of the ebb and flow
Their love paves the way
To help us leave or help us stay

And you know it's not a game, not a game
I just want everyone
To feel the same
As far as I'm concerned
I still have 
Lots to learn, lots to learn
I just want everyone
To feel the burn
CH:
Whether it's you
Whether it's me
Someone's got to change the world
Make it all new
Make it all free 
Find yourself a reason to believe
But love
Is all 
We need
V2:
You might not understand
But I'm no holy man, holy man
I just want everyone
To hold my hand
I can lay out on the street
A loving carpet for your feet, for your feet
I just want everyone
To be complete 
CH:
Whether it's You
Whether it's me
Someone's got to change the world
Make it all new
And make it all free
Find yourself a reason to believe
But, love
Is all
We need--- END ---

MISSING THE MARK 
HOW COULD I BE SO WRONG? 
GUESS THIS IS MY WORST COUNTRY SONG
LATER THAT NIGHT REALLY DOWN AND OUT 
NO IDEA WHY SHE BROUGHT HER BABY IN NOW
SHE SET THE BABY DOWN
IT STARTED DANCING AROUND LIKE
I WAS THE BIGGEST STAR IN TOWN 
CHORUS
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE 
LET BABY BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE
LET THE BABY TELL YA YER DOING ALRIGHT 
LET THE BABY DANCE
LET THE BABY DANCE 
LET THE BABY DANCE 
DO THE BABY DANCE
BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT 
V2
MY ONE SUPERFAN IN THE BAR THAT NIGHT
AN OLD COWPOKE HE SAID YA DONE ALRIGHT
DON’T YOU FRET ‘BOUT ADULTS, THEIR JUDGMENT IS GRAY,  
WHAT MATTERS IS THE JOY THAT THE BABY DISPLAYS
NEVER WORRY IF CRITICS LIKE YOU OR NOT
ONLY THING THAT MATTERS 
THE BABY DANCE OR NOT
HONEST OPINIONS FROM A CLEAN SLATE 
WHY CAN’T WE LIVE LIFE THAT WAY 
CHORUS
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE 
LET BABY BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE
LET THE BABY TELL YA YER DOING ALRIGHT 
DO THE BABY DANCE
DO THE BABY DANCE
DO THE BABY DANCE 
DO THE BABY DANCE
BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT
INSTRUMENTAL 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE 
LET BABY BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE
LET THE BABY TELL YA YER DOING ALRIGHT 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE 
LET BABY BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT 
LET THE BABY BABY DO THE BABY DANCE
LET THE BABY TELL YA YER DOING ALRIGHT 
DO THE BABY DANCE
DO THE BABY DANCE
DO THE BABY DANCE 
DO THE BABY DANCE
BABY DANCE ALL NIGHT
DO THE BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
DO THE BABY BABY 
SING THE BABY DANCE 
DO THE BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
DO THE BABY BABY 
SING THE BABY DANCE--- END ---

By Happy Ron
I'm not here to show you just what to do and how 
I'm not here to make the pain go away right now
 
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you 
Y'say you don't need anyone to help see you through
I've heard that before and we both know you do 
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you
And if you don't believe me   I'll try harder
I'm gonna stay right here until you know the truth
I don't have a magic wand don't have a golden ring 
I don't have all the answers or know everything
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you
 
It's been too long that you've been down and I know it hurts 
But time will speed up, you'll move on, that's the way these things work. 
I can't keep you from the fates that we all face 
I'm not here to take your memories and hit erase 
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you--- END ---

no matter what true love will save the day
There’s no one else who can do what you do,
And make me feel like I’m king of your world
You pick me up, when I’m feeling the blues
And tell me that our love’s forever too
Yes you do
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you
We’ve been through ups and we’ve been through downs,
But you’ve stood by me, through and through
You keep me calm when there’s chaos in view
My guiding light who shines so bright, it’s you
Yes it’s you
Doesn't matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you
The future’s bright when I look in your eyes
I know together we’re invincible
Those lifelong goals that I want to pursue
I know I’ll smash with love and drive from you
Yes, from you
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you
Simply you
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you
A wise man once wrote a song that said
no matter what true love will save the day--- END ---

Verse:	
My first word wasn't daddy,
You weren't around,
After the divorce,
You moved to another town,
I used to always wonder,
Did I do something bad,
'Cause there's supposed to be a bond,
Between a boy and his dad
Chorus:	
Here I am with a family of my own,
I've got it all,
You live alone,
But if you wanna be a dad,
To the boy inside this man,
Here I am.
Verse:	
You used to call on birthdays,
Sent a baseball glove,
Didn't teach me how to throw,
And missed my first home run,
Wish you would’ a been there,
To see me swing that bat,
'Cause there's supposed to be a bond,
Between a boy and his dad.
Chorus:	(repeat)
 
½ verse 3:	
Showed my son your picture,
His faced turned kind'a sad,
'Cause there's supposed to be a bond,
Between a boy and his granddad.
Chorus:	(repeat)
Adlib:	
Here I am,
Here I am.

that shows your frequent haunting truth
Memories of troubles you went through
only bring you those tormented days

no refuge is found for your endless curse
left to cope with more tortured dreams
hiding your pain and tormented days

no dont be afraid anymore I will still want you in my life
no dont be afraid  anymore I still need you to be mine 
so dont be afraid anymore  I will still love you like before- I still love you like before

Oh oh -dont be afraid anymore I will still want you in my life
No dont be afraid anymore I still need you to be mine
so dont be afraid anymore

yes through it all I will still want you in my life
No dont be afraid anymore I still need you to be mine
so dont be afraid anymore I still love you like before

Todays the day
Get a running start
Todays the day
Gonna do my part
No more holding back
Won't focus on what I lack
Takin a  chance I'll find my way
Todays the day
V1
Getting free of my past
Feelin so weary
Dark and cloudy forecast
I Can't see clearly
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
V2
I know I can do it
Changing my old ways
So tired of feeling desperate
Like a rat in a maze
CHORUS
Bridge
Not looking in my rearview mirror
Or focused on what might have been
Skies are looking clearer
Now I'm determined to win
CHORUS--- END ---

                                                    STREETS OF GOLD #1 NEW
                                                         
                                                     
                                                        Title: Streets of gold
             Writer: Kenneth Zellmer (kennyzee) Words and Music
              1stVerse:Six years living on the street
                            A tattered coat rags around my feet 
                            But I feel happy I'm on my way
                            To the salvation army It's turkey day
              Bridge:  I feel a small smile
                          If only for a little while
              Chorus:  Lif's goanna be better on the other side
                           It's waiting for me I'm told
                            To be counted stand with pride 
                             Where all the streets are paved with gold
                2nd Veres: I see memories pass me by
                               Lingering sounds I heard 
                               Cold nights in boxes warm me I cry
                                Old thrown out food and a bottle of thunderbird
                 Chorus:  Life's goanna be better on the other side
                               It's waiting for me I'm told
                                To be counted stand with pride 
                                 Where all the streets are paved with gold 
                    Tag:     Panhandling and the night in jail
                               Life on the street is hell
                      Ending: Life on the street is hell--- END ---

                                                    THE DAY JIMMY BUFFETT DIED
                                                         
                                                     
                                                        The Day Jimmy Buffet Died
On a Key West beach under the stars where the sun don’t shine
Drinking margaritas in the shade with some friends of mine
Singing Eulogies for the ones who are still alive
on the day that Jimmy Buffet died
we were down by the rushes in the light of the august moon
dancing away till the dawn it always comes too soon
getting cozy with my love to the sound of the rising tide
on the day Jimmy Buffet died
	
On the day Jimmy Buffet died
we all got together and we sang and we drank and we cried
standing on the water watching all the parrots fly away, 	
On the Day that Jimmy Buffet died
my father was a sailor and his dad too 
he used to say the best times, are the times
when there's nothing to do
standing on the water watching as the parrots flew away,     
on the day 
that Jimmy Buffet died
time to face the music baby don’t you love the sound
he was smiling like a china town chicken when the sun went down
got to admit we were more then just a little surprised
on the Day Jimmy Buffet died
On the day Jimmy Buffet died
we all got together and we sang and we drank and we cried
standing on the water watching all the parrots fly away, 
on the day,     on the day,     Jimmy Buffet died

What will I teach you
To help you survive
Create a world-view
That'll keep you alive
V2
Danger is present
Wherever you go
A voice of dissent
Might strike a harsh blow
Chorus
Be on the safe side
When you travel life
Too many have cried
From conflict and strive
Live proudly my son
Hold your head high
Don't turn the other way
Keep your eye on the prize
Face the truth, my son
Live life strong, my son
V3
Fight for a noble cause
Believe with your heart
Take time to pause
Think twice and be smart
Bridge
Remember my words
Fly free as a bird
Chorus
Be on the safe side
When you travel life
Too many have cried
From conflict and strive
Live proudly my son
Hold your head high
Don't turn the other way
Keep you eye on the prize
Face the truth, my son
Live life strong, my son
Outro
I love you, my son
Forever you'll be 
My son, My brave son

It’s been a long, hard, get-her-done day
I feel like I ought to hit the hay
But you’re not ready for this night to end
If you want to have another round 
I’ll gladly lay my money down
That’s the least I could do for you my friend
If you’re thirsty any time, I’ll surely spring for more
But I’ll never even the score
When I drove off the road and got stuck
You pulled me out with your pickup truck
You always have a helping hand to lend
When I relive my faded glories 
You listen to my same old stories
And laugh at all my stupid jokes again
(chorus)
When my whole world hung by a thread
You chased the demons from my head 
You had my back until I could mend
Nobody ever had a better friend
(chorus)
No, I’ll never even the score

                                                        1. Was a little down on my luck
Hopin' I could make a buck
A lonely drifter gettin' through another day
That's when I saw her from far away
And brother I'll have to say
Had to get to know The Big Sky of Montana
2. I was slow to settle in
Had to tell her where I'd been
Wasn't sure how long I could stay
Then she wrapped her kindness all over me
My eyes were opened, and I could see
And then I fell for The Big Sky of Montana
instrumental
3. The love she showed me took me by surprise 
I had to tell her I couldn't lie
There was something that just wouldn't let me be
A part of me was in another place
That's the last time i saw her face
When I said goodbye to The Big Sky of Montana
And I said goodbye to The Big Sky of Montana--- END ---

I offered you my coat that day  
When I saw you standing in the rain  
You sighed and whispered you’re too kind  
I just said, you’re welcome, and smiled
I wondered why you looked so sad
You said you were thinking of your dad
He’d passed a little while ago
I just said, I’m sorry, and smiled
A simple kindness goes a long, long way  
It can lighten up the darkest day 
We rise by lifting others high  
A smile can take away a sigh
A warming sun broke out just then
The rain stopped and all was bright again  
We chatted for a little while
Then I said, goodbye, and you smiled
A simple kindness goes a long, long way  
It can lighten up the darkest day 
We rise by lifting others high  
A smile can take away a sigh

                                                        I wish you the world
I wish you all of the things that could give your life meaning
The prayers that you whisper, the dreams that you’re dreaming
You know I’ll believe you when others are calling your bluff.
I’ll be by your side
A shoulder to lean on when your body is aching
To know what to say when your heart feels it’s breakin'
Yes, even those times when words are never enough.
[Chorus]
I got hope like a river
Like a big river rolling,
It’s winding and growing,
Hope like a river
And a heart over-flowing for you.
We’ve come a long way
Through good times and bad times, whatever the cost
I smile to remember the bridges we’ve crossed
And any regrets seem to vanish and just fade away
We’ve laughed and we’ve cried
Your crazy schemes and my grandiose plans
You're the salt to my pepper and the Yin to my Yang
Whatever we’ve done they can’t tell us that we never tried.
 
[Chorus]
I got hope like a river
Like a big river rolling,
It’s winding and growing,
Hope like a river
And a heart over-flowing for you.
[Break]
[Bridge]
May come a time when I’m no longer near you
Surely a time when our paths must divide
Simply remember this touchstone I give you
And carry the love deep inside.
Know I wish you the world
I want to share all the things that will give your life meaning
Want to help you to build all the dreams that you’re dreaming
Believe and trust In the depth of my love
I wish you the world
I wish you all of the things that could give your life meaning
The prayers that you whisper, the dreams that you’re dreaming
You know I’ll believe you when others are calling your bluff.
I’ll be by your side
A shoulder to lean on when your body is aching
To know what to say when your heart feels it’s breakin'
Yes, even those times when words are never enough.
[Chorus - fade out]
I got hope like a river
Like a big river rolling,
It’s winding and growing,
Hope like a river--- END ---

By Stewart Warman
[verse]
I'll be by your side
As long as you need me to
I'll do whatever I can
I only want what's best for you
[pre]
Not sure what you're thinking 
Wish I knew what I had to do
Just hope that it's right 
Keeps me awake at night
[chorus]
I'm only doing for you
What you'd surely do for me
No words need be spoken
I'm only doing for you
What you'd surely do for me
Our bond can't be broken
No thanks will I ever need from you
[verse]
You may not know my name 
Can't call me on the phone 
But I'm here right now
You're not doing this alone
[pre]  
This is so not really me
A twist in our long history
When you always helped me through
 
But now it's my time to help you
[chorus]
I'm only doing for you
What you'd surely do for me
No words need be spoken
I'm only doing for you
What you'd surely do for me
Wish I could fix what's broken
No thanks will I ever need from you
No thanks will I ever need that's true
I'm only doing for you
What you'd surely do 
for me--- END ---

            ©2012 Joe Hash/Karel Daniels-305.835.0594-kdlyriclady@aol.com 
You were joggin' alone in the park, so was I
But I couldn't let the moment go by
I had to do something to get you to notice me
I gathered my courage, ran over to you
You stopped running...I did too
Then you smiled so I made my move and I licked your nose
Now I'm a lucky dog - Havin' some fun
I'm a lucky dog - Ridin' shotgun
My tongue hangin' out - And my ears blowin' in the wind
Yeah, I've gotta be the luckiest dog - That's ever been
You hardly ever ask too much of me
As long as I hold it 'til we find a tree
You've got me eatin' outta your hand every time you call
All I gotta do is roll over or beg
When we're with your friends, stay away from their leg
Yeah the day we met this world threw me a big ol' bone
Now I'm a lucky dog - Yea, where you go I go
I'm a lucky dog - In your Silverado
My tongue hangin' out - And my ears blowin' in the wind
Yeah, I've gotta be the luckiest dog - That's ever been
You like the tricks I do
I like your bags of food
When I drink from the toilet, you don't think it's rude
And it's never bothered me that we're both dudes
'Cause I'm your lucky dog - Let's go for a ride
You'll be a lucky dog - With me by your side
The girls love a dog - That's why they call me 'Man's best friend'
Yeah, there's nothin' like a puppy
To help a guy get lucky
And we'll both be the luckiest dogs - That's ever been--- END ---

                                                        Hard days take extra special strength
To rise through the mess
You’re keepin’ on, you’ve still got hope
Won’t give in, you learn to cope
Put on your brave face
Forgive those who can’t feel
In this big, big world, you’ll find love
And when life takes you down
Look up, look up, lift your head high
Look up, look up, know that this is your time
You can’t lose the fight, keep reaching for the light
Even at times when you finding it gets too much
Look up, look up, look up
You can leave your sticks and stones at home
I’m ok on my own
a small face in a big crowd
You want to cry You wanna shout… but
Put on your brave face
Forgive those who can’t feel
In this big, big world, you’ll find love
And when life takes you down
Look up, look up, lift your head high
Look up, look up, know that this is your time
You can’t lose the fight, keep reaching for the light
Even at times when you finding it gets too much
Look up, look up, look up--- END ---

Intro: 
Sometimes you look so unhappy. I notice though I am small
     
Like when I drew you a flower. With crayon lines and fingerprints on the wall
 
One day you may be thinking. When I am grown and I am gone
     
That if you touch it and imagine. There’ll be crayon lines and fingerprints on the wall
Chorus:
I am a child. Doing what children do. You remember those times—don’t you
      
That once long ago, you were a child—too.
Leaving crayon lines and fingerprints on the wall
Interlude: 
Chorus (Repeat):
             
Outro: 
That once long ago, you were a child too
Leaving crayon lines, and fingerprints, on the wall

Carey Latham|Brad Hacker|Kenny Pitts
I made a left on Cemetery road
Rain was heavy, I was movin’ slow
Saw a pick-up stuck in the red mud
Old man drenched but not shook up
I hooked my chains to his hitch
Pulled his tires up outta the ditch
I said man why ain’t you lookin’ up cussin
Broke down out here in the middle’a nothin
He said, son you see a barely runnin rusted out chevy
I’m still getting miles out of every hard earned penny
You see a weathered man stranded in a storm
I been knee deep ‘gainst the odds since I was born 
Taught me to hold my chin up higher the deeper life got
So I’m so thankful for every rain drop
n’I ain’t mad at God.
I said damn who sent you, where’s your wings
Got a 5th of whiskey in my seat
Was about to shout His name in vain
Drink a hell of a hallelujah to this bad day
I’m the one with the chains n’the hemi
But man, you’re doin’ the heavy liftin’
You see, all I saw was a barely runnin rusted out chevy
Instead’ of getting miles out of every hard earned penny
I saw a weathered man stranded in a storm
But bein’ knee deep ‘gainst the odds since you were born
Taught you to hold your chin up higher the deeper life got
And I should be thankful for every rain drop
n' not be mad at God.
He said Son, remember this and you’ll be alright
In life , don’t ask why, just trust Who
And He’ll send you an Angel on a stormy night
And you’ll tell him,
Son you see a barely runnin rusted out chevy
I’m still getting miles out of every hard earned penny
You see a weathered man stranded in a storm
I been knee deep ‘gainst the odds since I was born
Taught me to hold my chin up higher the deeper life got
So I’m so thankful for every rain drop
Boy, stay thankful for every rain drop
n’don’t be mad at God--- END ---

V.1
Well promise me you’ll look both ways
Before you cross the street
You’ll look into your own heart
To find what makes it beat
Be true to your friends
And your family
Remember the songs we used to sing
Your mamma you and me
Chorus
‘Cause these are the things 
That make your life 
More than passing days 
And passing nights
Should only darkness lie ahead 
Please remember what I said
These things may provide some lights
Your Guiding Lights
V.2
Always do your best, never cheat
Don’t you lie or steal
Look beyond the artifice 
Try to find what’s real
Release your regrets
To your dreams hold fast 
Keep moving on, improve upon
Mistakes of your past
Chorus
‘Cause these are the things 
That make your life 
More than passing days 
And passing nights
Should only darkness lie ahead 
Please remember what I said
These things may provide some lights
Your Guiding Lights
V.3
Now what matters most
Is left unseen to the naked eye
It’s what we’ll take and what we’ll leave
On the day we die
Release your regrets
To your dreams hold fast 
Keep moving on, improve upon
Mistakes of your past
Chorus
‘Cause these are the things 
That make your life 
More than passing days 
And passing nights
Should only darkness lie ahead 
Please remember what I said
These things may provide some lights
Your Guiding Lights

You're feeling damp inside
You try to hide you was burn, born in a world that ignores the least, the poor and the small
There is an everlasting love we all hold within
Pre Chorus:
There will be rain
Some people with umbrella
Some with raincoats and rubber boots
I do know for those who have  no shade
There always a rainbow 
 The sun will come out one day
Chorus:
So I be your Umbrella
You can  embrace me my dear
Long as we have each other
You will never be alone under my Umbrella
You can stand with me. 
Me! Me! 
I will help to protect you from being soak and torn under my Umbrella
Verse:
As we get older we seen to forget that roses do have thorns
There is never a good time without a storm
The coldest heart that feel so poor need someone to lean on
Thunder may shake the ground and lighting  fill our skies
But you can count on me to be always around
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Ending: 
That's what a true companion
That what a true friend does
There no hatred that will separate us
We know each other for to long--- END ---

V1.
I’m out looking for some sunshine
Trying to find my happy place.
Search for the feeling
To put a smile back on my face
Everyone deserves some love
That’s something I believe
So I’ll do the world a favor
And just catch and release.
Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release
V2.
The sweet relief a smile can bring
When there’s troubled times at home
Someday we’ll look back and laugh
And see they were just stepping stones.
I know there’ll come a day
When we finally find our beach.
When we get that kind of feeling.
Just catch and release
Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release
Bridge
We don’t have a lotta time on earth
When we reach those pearly gates
We’ll only be remembered for 
Every ounce of love we gave so
Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release
Just catch and release
Catch and Release

                                                    LOVE IS A ROSE
                                                         
                                                     
                                                        Love is a rose 
You recognized me through the thorns
kept me safe from all the storms
By your side, nothing can go wrong
In our garden love grows strong  
Here is where my heart belongs 
The sky and world are brighter 
When you're here with me 
As the day, breaks anew
Love blooms for me and you
When it’s dark, and you feel blue 
the mystery unfolds 
Then your heart knows 
Love is a rose
 
Petals falling as we kiss
Never knew a love like this
A tender romance you share with me 
In your arms I find my peace 
You give me joy that never leaves 
The sky and world are brighter 
When you're here with me 
As the day, breaks anew
Love blooms for me and you
When it’s dark, and you feel blue 
the mystery unfolds 
Then your heart knows 
Love is a rose
Come go with me 
To ecstasy 
A bed of roses to lay with me 
To feel you close 
Our passion grows 
Love is a rose
As the day, breaks anew
Love blooms for me and you
When it’s dark, and you feel blue 
the mystery unfolds 
Then your heart knows 
Love is a rose--- END ---
