I remember you called me
I was at work and you said son,
Things are gonna change
I came home and we cried together
Tell me Lord, why this way
You spent time in a hospital bed
While others watched fireworks
Blow that day in July
To me they were tears
Tears I’d cry
The strongest man I’d ever known
The bravest man
Now you’re gone forever
Yet I know and feel you’re still here
I’ll never let you down
Always make you proud
Always make you proud
No need to worry
No need to fear
It’s what I keep telling myself you hear
Months went by, 8 or 9
We thought you were getting better
Till we took you back in that day
In came every family member
Less then two weeks later you would rest
It proves he only takes the best
I thought I knew it all
But he wasn’t around long enough to teach me
Everything I wish I’d known
But now it’s time to go and continue his journey
Well he taught me so much
And he gave me so
Why oh, must his time end now
I’m selfish but can you blame you
Daddy, why’d you go
I never missed you so
I’ll never let you go

Bright New Day
04:28

I’m seeing quite clearly you’re not the only one
There is no true reason to cover up your scars
The rain won’t come close to hiding all those tears
I’m thinking quite sharply
Oh boy its been years
Open up a bright new day
I really haven’t much to say
I need a shoulder to lean on
I need a reason to make it one more night
I need a shoulder to lean on
Embrace the moment everything’s alright
I’m thinking quite sharply I’ll say it once again
No problem I’m faced with is worth all my fears
Are you gonna be there, be there till the end
I wonder if I will still call you my friends
Now follow me to the light
I know when you’re down and
I know when you’re stumbling
I’ve seen all despairs oh yeah I’ve seen it comin’
I know when you’re crazy
I know all you’re moods
There ain’t nothing you can hide, nothing to do
I know it, I know it now

Lawrence & Diane
03:38

I remember when I saw you there
The girl with the bright blonde hair
I knew right then you’d be my girl
The one I’d call and say to all my friends
This girl here is my Diane
It wasn’t long before you lit my room
The guy I’d show off to my friends, oh you
Always knew what to say and do
After three months later you’d be my fiance
Oh Lawrence, just me and you
All the things you want to do I’ll do with you
Hold you tight, I’ll be there
Wipe away your greatest fears
We’ve got each other, got each other
Through the years we’d trudge it through
Had some nicks, even a bruise
Life may not have been perfect dear
But I gave you all I could and all I had
Oh dear, I’ll be right there
Let’s run away, no pain no more
You’ve suffered too long and I was with you every step of the way
I think it’s time for us to hold each others hand’s once again
When God let’s us meet, I’ll be waiting for you arms spread

The In-Between
05:08

Catherine says her prayers in the morning
She holds her beads as she cries
Goes and sits in the chair by the telephone
To hear her voice be’d divine
Well I know I can’t understand
All the pain going through your head
Catherine spends her days staying inside
All alone she cries
Hear her whispering prayers under her breath
For her daughter to come
I see the pain in your eyes
One thousand horrors you’ve seen your lifetime
This pain is new and precise
The loss of her from your life has been so rough
You can’t give up on your lives
Yet you’re stuck in this moment now praying for her on your knees
Catherine, Catherine where are you going
Everything will be alright
Rest your head, say your prayers
Not a single a tear
Until your daughter comes home
You gotta get away from here
Turn your life inside out
Because I know that you’ve been down
And I know things aren’t right
I know that you miss her and won’t give up without a fight
But were stuck in this moment now
Somewhere in the inbetween

These Passing Days
03:53
|

Amazing how my life has seemed to fly by in the wind
I’ve passed the days just wondering what I thought I might have been
It's funny how your life can change in the blink of an eye
To be selfish and not take charge would only lead self denial
And so we say
Hear me see me
What’s supposed to be will be
For this life is but a dream
Hear me see me
What’s supposed to be will
Growing up you've seen the world evolve like a Rolling Stone
You learned of love from McCartney's voice
You did not stand alone
A quiet girl you might have been but versed in all the arts
Can not regret the little things or that which have caused harm
From time to time I feel I can’t get by then I sit and think about her
Things could be worse but I’m alright
We’ve got it all though times are rough as long as we’re together
We’ll get by one day at a time
This life's mixed up but we’re alright
I think it's time to move forward
May be hard but we’ve got time
So settle down and let me take over
For you’ve shown miracles all over time
The years have proved to shine a light on what we’re supposed to do
Can’t explain the certain things in my life that I went through
Let us all remember friends and family by our side
We’ll sing until our hearts explode
So shout out with a smile

Dream come true, baby girl
When we look at you
Little girl, big dreams
Where will this lead
We're so in love but want to share it with another
God blessed us with our own earth angel
A masterpiece, one of His finest
She is ours, can't wait to hear her laughter
Her heart on loan, we'll treasure her, oh yeah
His greatest gift, we'll love her
Josephine, dreams do come true
Josephine, little girl, big dreams
Can't wait to see where this leads
Named after a women of great worth
Heaven's delight may she shine bright
Already has her finger wrapped around her daddy
A brand new life, a glorious beginning
Baby girl there's no need to wait by
An hour glass of shifting sand, it passes time
Walk on your own with the faith and love we showed you
Make your way on this sunny day

House of the Rising Sun
04:07
|

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one
