GUARDIAN ANGEL… a song
They all said I couldn’t know you
But what they didn’t see
Were the windows to my soul
Where you will always be with me
Yeah, I was just a baby
When God took you away
But your presence, it still lingers
In every breath I take
Guardian Angel, yes, that is you
Picking me up when I fall down
Pulling me back when I’m feeling blue
Guardian Angel, still here today
Physically, I cannot touch you
But, you’re in my heart to stay
Guardian Angel
When I look into mirror
There is a freckle in my eye
People tell me it’s endearing
And sometimes it makes me cry
Not because I’m sad, you see
No, the opposite is true
The reflection that I see of me
Is a reflection of you too
Guardian Angel, yes, that is you
Picking me up when I fall down
Pulling me back when I’m feeling blue
Guardian Angel, still here today
Physically, I cannot touch you
But, you’re in my heart to stay
Guardian Angel
MEMORIES… a song
We drove down that old country road
We could see for miles and miles
We never saw another soul
It was the best times of our lives
And looking back it’s plain to see
Those little trips meant so much more
Than just a simple country drive
With a daddy and his boy
We’d spend the whole day fishin’
At an old abandoned shack
Where we’d dig worms and hook em up
And toss the small fish back
The tears well up within my eyes
Remembering those days
I pray my boy has memories of me
When like my daddy I’ve slipped away
STARS… a song
She was walking down the sidewalk
Under big ole city lights
The dream of dreams she always had
Most every single night
And, momma tried to warn her
Of the wolves that run that town
Then… One casting couch later
And her dreams came tumbling down
—–
(Chorus)
She sent her wishes to the stars
And prayed some prayers for her success
She didn’t get too far, because
This life is such a mess
And if she’d known back then, the things,
She surely does know now
That stars and prayers and wishes
Don’t always make a happy sound
—–
That same boy comes in the diner
Almost every single day
He doesn’t order much
And he has even less to say
But soon the furtive glances
Turn into a rendezvous
She never thought her loneliness
Could become a me and you…
—–
(Repeat chorus)
She sent her wishes to the stars
And prayed some prayers for her success
Now she’s come so far, because
This life she has is blessed
And if she’d known back then, the things,
She surely does know now
That stars and prayers and wishes
In a child’s a happy sound
Yeah, stars and prayers and wishes
In a child’s a happy sound
EARLY MORNING HAZE
Who will save me from the windows
That tantalize my mind?
Or take the cool refreshing wind away
No, that would be unkind.
Seasons come and season go
As our gardens go to seed.
Where will I find latitude
When there is none left for me?
Pull the drapes
Pull the curtains
Pull the cords
Close the doors
Let the sun go down
As lights go on
Chase shadows on the floor
Give me eyes
That maybe, I can see
Remembering yesterday
Then open all the windows
To the early morning haze.
…….
A cock crows in the distance
As another day begins.
A baby cries in her existence
One breath out another in.
And papas on the tractor
Headed to the fields to plow.
While I’m lost in this reverie
A young mind on the prowl…
Pull the drapes
Pull the curtains
Pull the cords
Close the doors
Let the sun go down
As lights go on
Chase shadows on the floor
Give me eyes
That maybe, I can see
Remembering yesterday
Then open all the windows
To the early morning haze.
Spiraling out of control
Whiplashed – beaten down.
Never, will I trust again.
Damn this streetlight town.
Monuments to fools, they build
Hate, it fills the air.
Where’s the hope that once was found
Surrounded by despair.
Pull the drapes
Pull the curtains
Pull the cords
Close the doors
Let the sun go down
As lights go on
Chase shadows on the floor
Give me eyes
That maybe, I can see
Remembering yesterday
Then open all the windows
To the early morning haze.
WHERE I AM… a song
I now know that my God loves me
Because he sent you here to free me
You’re the only one to see me where I am
People passing by turn from me
Walking quickly to avoid me
Never ever recognizing where I am
But there is hope on my horizon
Just as sure as the sun is rising
And now I know that there is hope for one more day
(Chorus)
See me, oh see me
Wrap your arms around me
Hold me close to let me know that I’m okay
Free me, oh free me
From the world that never sees me
Help me get back upon my feet and walk away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you hit bottom that is all
You find there’s no safe place to fall
So, you just close your eyes and pray that it will end
Losing all hope is way too easy
Can’t I find someone to see me
To open up my eyes and search the world again…
They say there’s love that’s all around us
But I can’t seem to find it here
How do I look through heavy laden eyes of pain
There was a time that I was strong
But now that time is so long gone
Brother won’t you help me find my way again
(Repeat chorus)
See me, oh see me
Wrap your arms around me
Hold me close to let me know that I’m okay
Free me, oh free me
From the world that never sees me
Help me get back upon my feet and walk away
Help me get back upon my feet and walk away

EYES OF WATERFALLS… a song
As I stand here in the rain
I can’t tell
What were tears and what were raindrops
When they fell
And the puddle that is growing
‘round my feet
Will find a hole in my soul
When they meet
Please don’t talk about horizons
And of time
There is too much going on, now
In my mind
As these ashes of her spill upon the wind
Into the ocean of this sadness
And the end
I remember when we met
On that playground
For both of us love at first sight
I know, profound
Well, the years drew us closer
As they passed
And then the vows that we exchanged
Had come at last
But fate had written heartache
All along
Crashing down the world around me
With this song
All my dreams and all my hopes
Were trampled down
Now, in these eyes of waterfalls
Is where I’m found

MOONLIGHT… a short song
Why can’t the stars all come down from the night?
Clearing the cobwebs and making it bright.
And, where is the hero I promised to be?
Lost in whirlwind I tread cautiously.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll be washed by the rain
Removing this heartache
Removing this pain
And I never dreamed that I’d be here alone…
Yeah, I’ll keep on living…
And you’ll still be gone.
Moonlight it still shines there - down on the sands.
The memory is etched of us still holding hands.
And mountain tops glisten too peaked with their snow.
A lifetime is fading from years long ago.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll be washed by the rain
Removing this heartache
Removing this pain
And I never dreamed that I’d be here alone…
Yeah, I’ll keep on living…
And you’ll still be gone.
(Repeat)
