THE STARS THAT FELL

THE STARS THAT FELL

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018


AS TWILIGHT FADES 
RESIGNED TO DARKENED GLOOM
THE CLOUDS MOVE OVER
MAKING ROOM FOR THE MOON
ANOTHER DAY SPENT AND GONE
AN EVERLASTING SONG
PLAYS SOFTLY IN THE NIGHT
AN ODE JUST TO SUMMER EVE

A LULLABY
SWEET TO SATISFY
A MILLION STARS DRIFT BY
SOMEONE GOT IT ALL RIGHT
A LASTING IMPRESSION
A NIGHT TO TAKE AWAY AND HIDE

HERE ON THE OUTSIDE
THINGS ARE SHAPING, SHIFTING
BREAKING
A REFLECTION PAST BEYOND ME
IN THE SKY
ITS LIGHT RIGHT BESIDE ME

SLEEP UNTIL THE SUNS 
GOLDEN LIGHT
COMES TO FIND ME
SHINES INTO MY EYES
WHERE SHADOWS PLAY
ACROSS THE WALL
LIKE A SUNLIT WATERFALL
 CHORUS
WHAT OF THE STARS THAT FELL
DID YOU FIND THEM ALL
DID YOU MAKE SOME WISHES
YOU CAN TAKE AWAY
SAVE THEM FOR
 TOMORROWS PLANS 
IF NOTHING CHANGES
EVERYTHING IS AS IT STANDS

I'M STILL ASLEEP
INTO THE SKY, HIDDEN DEEP
TO MEET YOU THERE
SEE YOU HERE WITH ME
COVERED IN STARLIGHT
AN EVENING BREEZE
STIRS THE TREES
I CATCH THE FALLOUT
SMELL THE BLOOMS
THAT FILL THE NIGHT
OPEN UP TO MOONLIGHTS BLUSH
PAINTED WITH MY BRUSH

I WAIT EACH NIGHT FOR THIS
FALL HEADLONG
INTO THE STARS
GONE TO SLEEP
HIDDEN DEEP
IN A DIAMOND SKY

MISTY MIDNIGHT

MISTY MIDNIGHT

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY

JOYFUL SUMMER SOUNDS

WARM SUN ON OUR FACES

BIRDS SING SONGS

FROM THE TREES

A SWEET LITTLE STREAM

CLEAR AND COOL

WE SIT THERE TO DREAM 

IMMERSED IN THE MAGIC OF THE DAY

NO WORDS SPOKEN BETWEEN US

TO GET IN THE WAY

FEEL THE SUMMER

RIGHT INTO MY SOUL

WHILE WE GET OUR FILL

TIMES BENDING OVER BACKWARDS

TO REMAIN STILL

SWEETLY PASSING TIME

THESE DAYS SO FEW

KEEP THEM CLOSE TO YOU

THEN JUST LIKE THAT

THE SUN WAS SINKING LOW

STOPPED THERE TO HANG AND GLOW

COLORS WEAVED THEIR WAY

THROUGH THE SKY

TINTING CLOUDS DRIFTING BY

A FLOCK OF BLACKBIRDS

ALIGHT AND FLY PAST THE MOON

 TO LEAVE HERE NOW

IT WOULD BE TOO SOON

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN

THIS MUCH IN LOVE

EVER BEEN THIS FAR

A NIGHT MADE FOR JUST YOU AND I

YOUR PRECIOUS HEART NEXT TO MINE

HOPE I LAND BESIDE YOU

WHEN I COME BACK DOWN

THIS KIND OF BEAUTY NEVER LASTS

COULDN'T LET IT PASS US BY

CHORUS:

 

MISTY MIDNIGHT

MAGIC THE LIGHT

TAKE MY HAND

 AND HOLD ON TIGHT 

WISH ON THAT FALLING STAR

BEFORE IT GETS AWAY

GOES TOO FAR

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO

FEELING THIS COMPELLED

TO JUST BECOME A PART OF THIS

CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MOON

AND YOUR EYES

THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO GO

ITS YOU, HOW ELSE WOULD I KNOW

THE SPACE BETWEEN

ALL A PART OF YOU

REST YOU BY THE FLAMES

BATHE YOU IN STARLIGHT

I'LL WATCH OVER YOU

UNTIL THE SUN COMES

TO TAKE MY PLACE

FAR ABOVE THE FIRE

FAR ABOVE THE FIRE

WRITTEN BY JEFF ROBERT HILTON

NOVEMBER 2018

I COULD OF STAYED

LOST MY NERVE

LOST MY WAY

BEEN TOO AFRAID

TO TURN MY BACK

 AND WALK AWAY 

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DIM

LOVE IS HARD TO FIND

BETTER OFF ALONE

THAN DANCING WITH MISERY

NOTHING HERE

I NEED ANYMORE

TEAR OUT THE PAGE

THERE'S NO WAY

NO MORE LOVE TO SAVE

A DARK WAVE

TO SWEEP ME AWAY

LIFT ME UP

TO SOME NEW LIGHT

I'VE NEVER SEEN

TAKE ME TO

A LOVE, A HIGHER PLAIN

SOMETHING SOULFUL

MEANT TO BE

MEANT TO LAST

MEANT TO LIFT US HIGHER

CHORUS

FAR ABOVE THE FIRE

WHERE THE STARS 

COME OUT TO PLAY

I CAN BE YOUR HERO

COME TO SAVE THE DAY

YOU'RE IN WITH ME

I CAN'T HELP IT

ITS MY HEART

HAD IT WITH MY PAST

TOMORROWS COMING

 FASTER NOW

EACH DAY WE WASTE

EACH SPOONFUL OF POISON

THAT WE TASTE

THERE'S NO ROOM

 FOR ANYMORE

YOUR SMILE, YOUR SOUL

YOUR LOVE LIKE GOLD

WON'T LET GO

NOTHING TO PROVE

THIS IS ME

MY SOUL BARED

FOR YOU TO SEE

A WINDOW, BE IT SMALL

TO FIND YOUR LOVE

LUCKY THAT

 ITS THERE AT ALL

SOMETHING TO BURN

 FROM INSIDE

SOMETHING MEANT TO BE

THAT'S JUST THERE

BETWEEN US

ALL AROUND US NOW

FEEL THESE HANDS

REACHING OUT FOR YOU

IS THERE SOMETHING

YOU CAN DO

BLESSED ARE THE DAYS

IN SO MANY WORDS

IN SO MANY WAYS

WAITING TO FIND US

CLOSE IN AROUND US

FAR ABOVE,THE FIRE

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

THE STARS

AND OUR DESIRES

SO MANY WAYS

ONLY SO MANY DAYS

 

HEAVEN RIGHT HERE

HEAVEN RIGHT HERE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

NOVEMBER 2018

THE SKIES TURNED BLACK

AND FILLED WITH RAIN

SOME RAN FOR COVER

WHILE OTHERS WERE LED

SOME DIDN'T CARE

LOOKED BLANKLY AHEAD

WHILE STILL OTHERS

JUST LOOKED UP AT THE SKY

A SMILE ON THEIR FACES

FULL OF WONDER AND WHY

PATIENTLY WAITING

FOR THE END OF THE STORM

STANDING THERE SHIVERING

TRYING TO KEEP WARM

WELL IT WASN'T LONG

THE SKIES BEGAN TO CLEAR

EVERYONE SHOUTED

THERE'S A RAINBOW HERE

AS THEY STARED ON

IN AWE OF THE SIGHT

 THE COLORS SO

 VIVID AND BRIGHT

THE RAYS OF THE SUN

RETURNED TO THE DAY

EVERYONE SEEMED GRATEFUL

EVEN IF IN SOME SMALL WAY

DUSK CAME

I WATCHED IT FALL

ON STREETS EMPTY

AND SILENT

A CONTRAST TO THE DAY

THE MOON SHOWS ITS FACE

ALONGSIDE THE STARS

INDIFFERENT TO 

THE SCENES BELOW

EXCEPT TO LEND A GLOW

THE WIND PICKED UP

I SWEAR IT CRIED

JOINED THE WAVES

DROVE THE TIDE

CRASHING INTO SHORE

A TASTE, A TEASER FOR MORE

HEAVEN RIGHT HERE

I DREAM, I YEARN

I HOLD, I NEED THIS

WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS

EARTH AND SKY

THE FREEDOM AFFORDED

THE WHERE THE WHY

THE REASONS MY HEARTS

TIED TO YOU

 I NEED THIS

HEAVEN RIGHT HERE

I FACE MY FEARS 

THE YEARS GONE BY

WHY LIE

ONE TOO MANY FOOLS

DON'T PLAY FAIR

NOT BY THE RULES

I SEE, I FEEL

I PRAY, I KNEEL

I GIVE, I TAKE

I LAUGH, I CRY

THE INSIDE OF A SOUL

PROGRAMMED ONLY TO SURVIVE

JUST ONE HOPE IN IT ALL

TO COME OUT ALIVE

 

SOMETHING REAL

SOMETHING REAL

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

NOVEMBER 2018


LIFE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL
LIFE CAN BE SO UNKIND
TAKE YOU WITH IT
OR LEAVE YOU BEHIND

SEE YOUR DREAMS SLIP AWAY
ITS HARD TO STAY IN CONTROL
ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY
TO CAST OFF THE SILENT RAGE
 DUST OFF MY BOOTS
TURN THE PAGE
BUT I KNOW 
ANGER WON'T SAVE THE DAY

SURE IT MIGHT BE DARKEST
JUST BEFORE THE DAWN
BUT THINGS SOON CHANGE
AND THAT SOMETHING
THAT GOT ME DOWN
WILL BE GONE BY THE TIME
I TURN AROUND

A LITTLE FAITH
GOES A LONG WAY
NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY
ITS UP TO ONE BUT ME
AT THE END OF THE DAY
I'M JUST GLAD
I GOT AWAY

LIVED THE BEST I COULD
NOW I'M READY FOR SOME MORE
LET IT SHINE, MAKE IT POUR
I'LL STILL TRY TO KEEP THIS SMILE 
NOTHING CAN CHANGE 
MY POINT OF VIEW
ITS ALL ME, NOT YOU
I JUST GET A LITTLE BLUE

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY
AND WHO
NEVER MIND
UP AND OVER THE WALL
JUST BE CAREFUL
HOW YOU FALL

LET GO OF FEELINGS
I DON'T NEED
FEED THE ONES I DO
I'M GONNA TAKE MY TIME
I'M GONNA DO IT RIGHT
STEP OUT FROM THE DARKNESS
RIGHT INTO THE LIGHT

THE MOON MY ONE COMFORT
IN THE NIGHT
AT THE END OF THE DAY
IT ALL SEEMS SO FARAWAY
YOU START TO WONDER
IS IT THE DREAM
IS IT THE DREAMER

GIVE ME SOMETHING REAL
I CAN FEEL
I CAN SEE
SOMETHING THAT'S NOT
GOING TO BE THE END OF ME
SOMETHING REAL
THAT I CAN TASTE
DON'T LET ME FALL FROM GRACE

CUT TO THE CHASE
LOOKS LIKE I'M BACK
 IN THE RACE AGAIN
PITTED AGAINST THE CLOCK
AGAINST ALL THESE YEARS
APPROACHING TWILIGHT
REACHING OUT WITH
HOPES ON HIGH

ALL IT NEEDS

ALL IT NEEDS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

THE SUN BREAKS THE DAY

AND I'M ALREADY GONE

KISSED YOU GOODBYE

AND LEFT BEFORE THE DAWN

DIDN'T WANT TO GO

WITHOUT YOU

BUT I KNOW HOW IT IS

TOO MANY IRONS

IN THE FIRE

TO HAVE TO CHOOSE

I KNOW YOU WON'T GIVE UP

WAITING FOR THE FLAMES TO RISE 

DON'T FORGET

 TO SMELL THE ROSES

ON THE VINE

HAVE A LITTLE FUN

TAKE A LITTLE TIME

ISN'T THAT THE WAY ITS DONE

TIME NEVER STOPS

IT GOES ON

SOMETIMES I WONDER

JUST FOR HOW LONG

MOUNTAIN HIGH NOW

THE AIR FULL OF PINE

BREATHE IT ALL IN

SWALLOW THE PEACE

 WHILE YOU CAN

THE SUN IS SHINING

 IN THE MEADOW

ALL IN BLOOM

KIND OF REMINDS ME

OF YOUR PERFUME

I SIT MYSELF DOWN

BY A MOUNTAIN STREAM

A MOMENT OF REFLECTION

A DREAM A VISION

IT WOULD SEEM

LET IT ALL INSIDE OF YOU

SOMETIMES I PRETEND

BUT THE FINER POINTS

AREN'T LOST ON ME

THE REALITY NO MYSTERY

I STAND FIRMLY AT YOUR SIDE

GOOD BAD OR IN BETWEEN

YOU'RE STILL MY QUEEN

FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN

ALL IT NEEDS IS A LITTLE TIME

 IF YOU GET BACK YOURS

THEN I'LL HAVE MINE

DRIVING HOME TO YOU

THE SUN GOING DOWN

IN MY REAR VIEW MIRRORS

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER

THAT I HOPE SOMEONE HEARS

PEARLS OF WISDOM 

FALLING ONE BY ONE

LIE IN THE SAND

SHINING IN THE SINKING SUN

ITS A SHAME I CAN'T

REMEMBER EVERY ONE

BUT THE ONES I DO

I'LL TELL YOU

ANYTHING TO HELP

 THIS THING ALONG

AS I MAKE MY WAY TO YOU

I SEE THE FIRST STARS

BEGIN TO PAINT THE SKY

JUST LIKE ANYTHING

ALL IT TAKES IS TIME

IN JUST A FEW MINUTES

I'LL BE HOLDING YOU

KISS YOU HELLO

LONG AND SLOW

ALL WE NEED IS TIME

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WISH THAT I COULD

 MAKE YOUR LIFE A DREAM

BETTER THAN THE ONE

YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN

NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE

HERE LIKE THIS

BUT HERE WE ARE

LIKE TWO STARS

THAT FELL

AT THE EDGE OF DAWN

TOUCHED YOU TO SEE

IF YOU WERE REAL

DROWN IN YOUR EYES

OCEAN BLUE

I SEE YOU IN

A SOFTER LIGHT

YOU COME TO ME

I CLOSE THE DISTANCE

BETWEEN YOU AND I

I SEE THE SUNRISE

REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES

TIMES PASSES BY

I HARDLY NOTICE

AT ALL

WHAT IF I COULD

SEE YOU SMILE EVERY DAY

RIGHT UP CLOSE

NOT FARAWAY

WHAT IF I PUT

MY LOVE IN YOUR HANDS

FOUND AN IN

 TO YOUR HEART

TOUCHED YOUR SOUL LIKE

NO ONE EVER HAS

YOU KNOW MY AIM IS TRUE

MY ARROWS POINTED

RIGHT AT YOU

COULD I PUT MY FUTURE

 IN YOUR HANDS 

ITS UP TO YOU FROM HERE

BUT FROM WHERE I'M STANDING

IT ALL SEEMS SO CLEAR

YOU AND I

IF WE GET TO TRY

I KNOW I'LL NEVER

LOOK BACK WITH A FROWN

EVERYTHING I LEFT BEHIND

IS RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS

MOVING FORWARD

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE

AND A LITTLE HELP

 FROM UP ABOVE

THEN SURELY WE'LL

HAVE IT MADE

BLESSED ARE THE DAYS

FILLED WITH LOVE

THAT I GET TO

SHARE WITH YOU

NO MATTER WHAT

NO MATTER HOW

AND WHERE

AS LONG AS ITS WITH YOU

I'LL TRY TO MAKE YOUR LIFE

THAT FAIRY TALE

THAT GOT AWAY

I PROMISE YOU

MY HEART

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY

I KNOW DREAMS GO EITHER WAY

BUT YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY

 YOU'D MAKE ME 

IF YOU TRY

LIKE TWO STARS THAT FELL

AT THE EDGE OF DAWN

FELL IN LOVE RIGHT THERE

DAYS WITH YOU

I LOOK FORWARD TO

I FILLED UP MY HEART

 WITH YOU

STIRS UP ANGELS

BESIDE YOU IN THE DARK

UNTIL TIME BREAKS THE DAWN

CHASES IT ALL AWAY

COLORS IT A DIFFERENT WAY

YA CHANGES IT TO LIGHT

COLOR WOVEN IN THE SKY

AND IT JUST NEVER STOPS

IT KEEPS ON AND ON

FOR YOU AND I

I SEE YOU CHANGE MY LIFE

I SAW YOUR LIGHT

I FELT YOUR LOVE

I TOOK YOUR HEART

MY PEACE IN A WORLD

QUICKLY GOING MAD

MY STABILITY, MY SANE

MY SHELTER FROM THE RAIN

WHATCHA GONNA DO

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

I NEED YOU THIS MUCH

ITS YOUR MOVE

ITS YOUR TURN
