This Is Living

Today is perfect for,
splashin’ ‘round in puddles like kids do.
The rain is pourin down and
I feel like goofin’ around.
So how ‘bout ice cream on my porch?
We’ll watch the sky perform a show for us.
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s be friends forever,
Just me and you.
The shore is calling us to come.
Let’s throw our cares away and greet her.
Skippin’ rocks ‘til our arms are sore.
Feel the waves come up to the shore.
I’ll never tire of this life.
I could walk along the beach forever.
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s be friends forever,
Just me and you.
Stars are so mystical,
They make me think beyond myself.
Look at what God has drawn,
Leaves me just starin’ in awe.
Lookey there a shooting star
Oh let’s make a wish and never forget who we are
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh
This is livin’ oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s be friends forever,
Just me and you.

Letting Go
04:20
|

|
Words, no longer not my own.
Fear has faded from it’s throne.
I’m breathing in and letting go,
Of all the things I used to know.
Words fly, they run away madly
And I look from the other side.
For I must relinquish this gladly.
C’est la vie.
Words aren’t meant to tear you down.
Thoughts aren’t meant to give a crown,
That lie within a perfect shattered house,
Built from what was stolen and left out.
Words fly, they run away madly
And I look from the other side.
For I must relinquish this gladly.
C’est la vie.
This, this can’t stay.
It will rob and cheat you.
The words we’re meant to say,
A Love fooling to others.
And this, this can’t stay.
It will rob and cheat you.
The words we’re meant to say,
A Love fooling to others.
Words, no longer not my own.
Fear has faded from it’s throne.
I’m breathing in and letting go,
Of all the things I used to know.

Share Their World
02:59

There was a boy and there was a girl.
Together they’d learn to share their world.
He walked along and she turned away.
They didn’t know their paths would meet again one day
Did she see me?
Does he think I’m pretty?
Could she ever love me?
I love him so. Does he know?
She’s too lovely.
All I want to say is, “I will always love you!”
He looks at her.
She doesn’t look away.
Somehow they know their love is here to stay.
The hours on the clock are far too few,
Hours I could be spending with you.
Did she see me?
Does he think I’m pretty?
Could she ever love me?
I love him so. Does he know?
She’s too lovely.
All I want to say is, “I will always love you!”
I know she’s the one.
I wonder when he’ll ask?
How much longer can this waiting last?
One summer day, he asked on his knee,
“Will you please marry me?
Oh, oh, will you marry me?
Will you marry me?
Will you marry me?”
La da da da, la da da.
La da da da, la da da.
He/She just married me!

Fly Away With This Tune
03:31

I wish that there was a word,
To make your tears fly away with birds.
My prayer’s to see you set free.
So won’t you come with me?
Tonight there’s a welcoming moon.
Let’s fly away with this tune.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
When will you be willing,
To take an open warm hand?
It’s the beginning of healing.
Come on let’s make a new stand.
Tonight there’s a welcoming moon.
Let’s fly away with this tune.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Come with me,
I will set you free
Come with me,
I want to set you free.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.

Don't Leave Me Alone
03:56

I see you in the mornin’ when I open my eyes,
And when I fall asleep you fill my mind.
Just don’t ever leave me alone.
I love you even when you’re on my last nerve.
Every moment that you give me I could never deserve.
Just don’t ever leave me alone.
Don't leave, don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave, don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave, don’t leave me alone!
I’m better when I’m with you, you make me strong.
I’m head over heels, that’s why I wrote this song.
Just don’t ever leave me alone.
When you speak my name the whole world fades away.
And all I’ll ever ask is just for one more day.
Just don’t ever leave me alone.
Don't leave, don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave, don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave, don’t leave me alone!
So won’t you take my hand?
Take my hand.
Walk with me?
Walk with me.
Through this life, our own company.
I’ll be yours. I’ll be yours.
You’ll be mine. You’ll be mine.
And happiness we just might find.
Don't leave me alone!
I won’t leave you alone.
Then I won’t leave, I won’t leave you alone!
Say you love me,
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t do, to make you feel the way I feel for you.
Just don’t ever leave me alone.
When you forgive and look at me again,
Then I remember why you are my best friend,
And that you’ll never leave me alone!
Don't leave me alone!
I won’t leave you alone!
Then I won’t leave, I won’t leave you alone!
Doot doo.
Doot doo.
Doot doo.
Don’t leave me alone.
