Not Lost To A Day

 NOT LOST TO A DAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

TWILIGHT FADES INTO NIGHT
MOONLIGHT FILLS THE VOID
STARLIGHT SOFT AS THE DARK BLUE SKY
THERE IN THE SHADOWS
YOU SLEEP AND DREAM
PEACEFULLY SERENE
THE SUNRISE LIGHTS THE WALL
WHERE THE ROSES GROW
SIPPING ON THE MORNING DEW
IN THE GATHERING SUN
UNDER A SKY SO PRISTINE BLUE

TAKE THIS DAY 
FOR NOTHING LESS
THAN EVERYTHING IT IS
AND EVERYTHING IT'S FOR
VERDANT HILLS AND VALLEYS 
PATCHWORK QUILT OF FIELDS 
MEANDERING RIVERS
OF PEACEFUL JOY 
IN THE SUMMER SUN

WAITING FOR YOU TO ADD YOUR LIFE
ADD YOUR LOVE, ADD YOUR LIGHT 
THE HEART YOU PUT FORWARD 
NOT LOST TO A DAY OF SPLENDOR
TODAY WE CHOOSE TO SHINE
LAUGHING AND LOVING
IN THE SUMMER SUN
FEELING THE FREEDOM
 OF THE MOMENT
RIVERS OF PEACEFUL JOY
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DAY
SOMETHING ABOUT YOU
CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT
NO I CAN'T EXPLAIN 
KISSED BY THE SUMMER
YOUR SKIN SO BROWN
IF IT'S MY LOVE YOU NEED
YOU KNOW IT SURROUNDS YOU

THE DREAMS BEFORE US
ARE YOURS AND MINE
BLESSED ARE THESE DAYS
 WE GO TOGETHER 
TWICE OVER WHAT HOLD
 YOU HAVE ON ME
SUNSET JUST PLAYS ME
MOONLIGHT AT THE TABLE
STARLIGHT ABOVE THE WALL
WHERE THE ROSES GROW
IN THE SUMMER SUN
