HARDLY THERE

HARDLY THERE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

THE SKY IS DARK

WHEN MY FEET HIT THE FLOOR

A LITTLE COFFEE

TO AWAKE MY SOUL

THEN OUT THE DOOR

INTO THE WORLD

TO EARN MY KEEP

THE DAYS ARE LONG AND HARD

THE PRICE SO VERY STEEP

I USED TO RUN I USED TO FLY

NOW I'M OLDER

I DON'T KNOW WHY

I HAVE TO TRY SO HARD

I DRAW ANOTHER CARD

BUT ITS A THREE

NO ACE FOR ME

NO SHORTCUTS THAT I CAN FIND

NO GENIE IN A LAMP

NO SILVER LINING, NO SILVER SPOON

DID INNOCENCE COME

 AND GO TOO SOON

DID THE MUSIC STOP

ON A SERIOUS NOTE 

YOU WORK ALL NIGHT

YOU WORK ALL DAY

YOU WORK YOUR LIFE AWAY

SO LITTLE TIME TO PLAY

TO LIVE TO GET AWAY

I HOPE ITS NOT TOO LATE

THE WAVES WILL HAVE TO WAIT

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

HOW IS THAT FAIR

AT THE END OF THE DAY

WHEN I'M HARDLY THERE

SEE IT TO SERVE

SEE IT TO THE END

YOU ROLL WITHT HE PUNCHES

YOU LIFT AND YOU BEND

ANOTHER NUMBER

ANOTHER STAKE

NO OTHER ROAD TO TAKE

THE NEVER ENDING DAYS

MARKED IN PAIN

SO MUCH TO LOSE FOR

SO LITTLE GAIN

DRIFTING LEARNING 

LOVING LEAVING

SOMEWHERE ELSE I THOUGHT

 I SHOULD BE

I DIDN'T WANT IT

BUT LIFE CHANGED ME

STIRRING ANGELS

STIRRING ANGELS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

THE BEAUTY OF A SUMMER EVENING

A SKY FILLED WITH STARS

 ITS MEANING LOST IN SILENCE

WITHOUT YOU HERE

BABBLING BROOK

BACK-LIT BY THE MOON

HEAR THE LONELY WATER

THE CRY OF A LOON

BRINGS ME BACK

FROM THE BRINK OF A DREAM

 PRETTY AS ALL THIS THAT I'VE SEEN

YOU WERE ONCE MY EVERYTHING

BUT TIME SERVES

TIMES UP

SEEMS MY CUP IS FULL OR EMPTY

THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN

NOBODY I'VE EVER SEEN

THAT COMPARES TO YOU

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR LOVE

WHAT DID I DO

TO BE SO ALONE 

AT THE END OF THE DAY

WAS IT SOMETHING THAT I DID

OR DIDN'T SAY

MY EYES CLOUD OVER

JUST LIKE THE SKY

UNSETTLED WEATHER

RAINDROPS OR TEARS

ITS JUST KIND OF SAD

THE ROAD AT MY FEET

I'LL GO IT ALONE

MILE AFTER MILE

ONE DAY AT A TIME 

I'LL FIND MY WAY TO THE PLACE

I WAS MEANT TO BE

THE SAND THE WAVES

THE SERENITY

THE LOVE THAT PASSED ME BY

I FELT A LITTLE LOST

I CANNOT DENY

LOVE WILL FIND ME

THERE'S NEVER A DOUBT IN MY MIND 

THE WARM WINDS ARE BLOWING

THE STARS MY WAY

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WISH, JUST SAY

WHAT IT IS YOU WANT

STIRRING ANGELS INTO ACTION

SHINING IN POSITIVE LIGHT

SOMETHING I CANNOT EXPLAIN

RIGHT AS RAIN, IT JUST FEELS RIGHT

WHAT WAS LOST

WILL BE FOUND

THE RAINY MIST IS LIFTING

REVEALING THE MILES BETWEEN US

BURNING IN THE SUN

FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND

BUT THEY'RE SMALL

AND THEY'RE NOT MINE

WHO WILL I FIND

ON THE BRINK OF A DREAM

PRETTY AS ALL I'VE SEEN

CLEAR SKIES, STARS ARE BLOWING

MY WAY

I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE

AS I STARE OUT THE WINDOW

AT SKIES LIT UP WITH STARS

I'VE WAITED SO VERY LONG

FOR YOU TO COME ALONG

THE WAY I CAN

THE WAY I DO

GIVE ALL MY LOVE TO YOU

MORNING MIST

MORNING MIST

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WHEN I LEFT I HAD A PLAN

DIDN'T TAKE LONG

BEFORE IT WAS ABANDONED

YOU KNOW HOW QUICKLY

THINGS CAN CHANGE

RECKLESS I WAS LED ASTRAY

NO ONE TO GUIDE ME

SIT DOWN BESIDE ME TO EXPLAIN

DIDN'T STOP ME FROM GOING ALONE

PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD

COULDN'T BREAK THROUGH

HAD TO START AGAIN

SAID COULD YOU CUT A MAN A BREAK

GIVE ME A HEAD START

A CHANCE THAT I CAN TAKE

THE WORLD NEVER  WAITS

ITS ALWAYS TIME TO GO

FREEDOMS NEVER EASY

ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD

YOU CAN CATCH IT

BUT KEEPING ITS HARD

FROM THE MORNING MIST

I WILL APPEAR

HEAR MY SONG YOU'LL KNOW I'M NEAR

HAPPINESS IS HARD TO HIDE

I'M GLAD I COULDN'T LET IT GO

FAILURE DENIED

VICTORY AT HAND

WHEN IT ALL GOES AS PLANNED

JUST AS I AM

RIGHT WHERE I STAND

WHEREVER I GO

WHATEVER I DO

YOU'RE IN

OUT OF THE MORNING MIST

COMES THE SUN

THE FLOWERS KISSED

JUST ONE MORE THING TO DO

GET MYSELF TO YOU

 I KNOW I CAN'T BE FAR

COULDN'T LEAVE THINGS

 AS THEY ARE 

NO REASON YOU SHOULD BE

ON YOUR OWN

TWO HEARTS SO NEAR THE SAME

SHOULD OCCUPY THE SAME DAYS

SAME PLACE

GUN POWDER AND LACE

YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN HERE AND THERE

 IN THE WORLD,JUST LIKE YOU

YOU CALLED MY NAME

I ANSWERED YOU

THAT SMALL WINDOW

OPEN IN TIME

FOR WHO ELSE BUT YOU AND I
BABY JUST TRY

OUT OF THE MORNING MIST
COMES THE SUN
THIS TIME I'VE COME ALONG
CAN YOU HEAR MY SONG 
THE ONE I'M SINGING FOR YOU
WHERE ARE YOUR OPEN ARMS
HAPPINESS IS HARD TO HIDE
I'M GLAD I COULDN'T
LET IT GO
I'M SURE GLAD I TRIED
AND FROM THE MORNING MIST
COMES THE SUN
THE FLOWERS KISSED

THE SUN IS A GHOST

THE SUN IS A GHOST

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

I WATCH THE RAIN

ONE EYE ON THE STORM

I BUILD A FIRE

TO KEEP WARM

ALL THE TREES HAVE TURNED

TO YELLOW AND GOLD

ITS LIKE SUMMER TURNED

 ITS BACK ON YOU

INDIFFERENCE, STANDOFFISH 

APPROACHING CRUEL 

SEPTEMBER RAIN TURNS TO SNOW

STUCK HERE AGAIN

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO

NO SOUTHERN COMFORT

ICE INSTEAD OF SAND

SOMEWHERE WARM NOT EVEN

PART OF THE PLAN

LET THE NORTH WINDS BLOW

AND HOPE THEIR SOMEWHAT KIND

ITS ONLY THE SUN MOVING AWAY

GOING ON A HOLIDAY

I SIT HERE WATCH THE LEAVES

FALLING TO THE GROUND

I FOUND THEY 

NEVER MAKE A SOUND 

LYING THERE A BLANKET

 AGAINST THE SNOW

JUST LIKE ME

NOWHERE TO GO

A WHISPERED HUSH

TREES LAID BARE

NO LEAVES

CAN'T EVEN BLUSH

STARK AGAINST GRAY SKIES

ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND ME

I CAN'T HIDE

WHILE SHADOWS GROW LONGER

THE SUN IS A GHOST

A STRANGER

IN THE WHITEST SNOW

STOOD HERE IN

FROZEN DARKNESS

WAITING FOR THE SUN

TO COME BACK HERE

BECAUSE I CAN'T GO

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO

ALL THE LEAVES

WERE ON THE TREES

NOW THEY'RE FAR BELOW

LIE THERE 

BENEATH THE SNOW

I MISSED MY CHANCE TO GO

AWAY

LONELY AS THE MOON

WHY DOES SUMMER

HAVE TO LEAVE SO SOON

ALWAYS TAKES

A PIECE OF MY HEART

LEAVES ME WAITING SO LONG

TO GET IT BACK

SHORT GRAY COLD DAYS

WHO NEEDS THEM ANYWAYS 

NOT ME

I'D RATHER FOLLOW THE SUN

TO WHERE ITS STRONG

MADE FOR SUMMER

WHERE MY HEART

 RISES LIKE THE TIDE 

AND NO THE SAND

 WILL HAVE TO WAIT

FOR ME

WHILE SEPTEMBER RAIN

TURNS TO SNOW

LAST DANCE WITH YOU

LAST DANCE WITH YOU

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON 

SEPTEMBER 2018

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO WAKE UP

BESIDE YOU

LOOK INTO THOSE EYES SO BLUE

BE THE ONE THING

YOU NEVER WANT TO LOSE

WELL I'VE GOT NEWS

YOU BETTER BELIEVE ITS ME I DO

ITS ME THAT FINDS YOU IN STARLIGHT

ITS ME THAT WANTS

TO HOLD YOU ALL NIGHT LONG

MORNING SUNLIGHT SNEAKS

 INTO THE ROOM

PLAYS ACROSS YOUR FACE

AS I WATCH YOU SLEEP

YOU BRING ME CALM

YOU BRING ME PEACE

LIKE GOLDEN MEADOWS

SO BRIGHT

WHERE SONG BIRDS SERENADE

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO

HOLD YOUR HAND

WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS

I NEVER TAKE

 YOUR LOVE LIGHTLY

ITS ME THAT WILL HAVE 

THE LAST DANCE WITH YOU

THE SAME SUN THAT

SHINES ON ME

SHINES ON YOU

WHO WOULDN'T WANT

 TO BE WITH YOU

AS THE YEARS TURN INTO GOLD

GIRL YOU'VE GOT 

MY ATTENTION

YOU KNOW MY INTENTIONS

ARE ALL TRUE

RAIN DROPS ON THE WINDOW

EACH DROP ROLLING DOWN

COUNTING TIME

SO GIRL DON'T WASTE

ANOTHER MINUTE

THINKING YOU MIGHT GET

 LEFT BEHIND

WHO WOULDN'T WANT

TO GO ANYWHERE WITH YOU

YOU KNOW I DO

SO HOLD ON TIGHT

WE CAN MAKE THIS ALL GO

THE WAY IT SHOULD

THOSE THREE  WORDS

SPOKE TO ME BY YOU

ARE JUST LIKE

THE STARS IN THE SKY

RIGHT WHERE I DREAM

PLACES I'M NOT

 SURE I'VE BEEN

PLACES

 THAT I'D GO WITH YOU 

THE FALLING STARS

A CRESCENT MOON

A PICTURE PERFECT NIGHT

FIND MY WAY

INTO THOSE BIG BLUE EYES

INTO YOUR HEART

IT JUST FEELS RIGHT

LIVING FOR A DREAM

SOMETHING I'VE NEVER HAD

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

A PROMISE TO KEEP

BEHOLDEN TO YOU

LAST DANCE WITH YOU

INTO MY HEART AND

GOING THROUGH

WHO WOULDN'T WANT

TO SEE YOU

LAST THING THAT I SEE

BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP

THE LIGHT OF DAY

THE LIGHT OF DAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WAITING

BIDING MY TIME

COUNTING BACK

THE MOMENTS IN MY LIFE

CIRCLING THE SUN

CAN'T STOP NOW

EVERYTHING IS GOING FASTER NOW

I CAN SEE THE TOP

I CAN SEE BEHIND ME

LONG WAY DOWN

I'D RATHER NOT LOOK

I REMEMBER

EVERY INCH, EVERY DAY

ALL TOO WELL

THE HARDEST PART IS PAST

SOMEHOW I JUST KNOW 

I CAN TELL

NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES AHEAD

BETTER OFF THERE INSTEAD

FARAWAY, FROM ALL THE DIN

FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT

I NEVER WANT TO GO BACK

THERE AGAIN

FOR EVERY DAY

TRY AS YOU MAY TO

IMPRESS ME

I CAN'T LIE

YOU DO IT WELL

YOU'D PUT YOUR LIFE

ON THE LINE FOR ME

GO ALL THE WAY

JUST LIKE ME

STEP AWAY FROM

THE LIGHT OF DAY

MAKES YOU REALIZE

JUST HOW FAST TIME FLIES

STEP BACK INTO THE SUN

JUST TO RUN

 BACK TO YOU

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH

 I CAN DO

BUT I'M TRYING 

I'M ON YOUR SIDE

COME TO ME

IN MY DREAMS

AND I KNOW I

JUST HAVE TO SEE

YOU AND I THROUGH

YOU KNOW I'D DO

ANYTHING FOR YOU

BENEATH THE NIGHT SKY

MOON AND STARS

YOU AND I

LAUGHING UNTIL IT LOOKS

LIKE WE'VE BEEN CRYING

HAND IN HAND

CHASING DREAMS

THROUGH THE SAND 

GENTLE WAVES LULL US

INTO SLUMBER

NEVER WANT THIS TO END

THIS SPELL

THAT WE'RE UNDER

HEAVENS RIGHT HERE

WITH YOU

I JUST KNOW

I CAN TELL

YOU AND I

GO SO WELL

NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES

FOR YOU AND I

FROM THE DARKNESS

COMES THE LIGHT

ALL OF OUR DREAMS

WERE MEANT TO COME TRUE

I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT

TO BE THERE WITH YOU

COMES A TIME

TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND YOU

STEP FORWARD

INTO THE LIGHT

HAND IN HAND

ITS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

THE LIGHT OF DAY

FLIES WITH TIME
