DID I SEE YOU



DID I SEE YOU

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

DID I SEE YOU
WHEN YOU WERE UP SO HIGH
DID I SEE YOU
SWEPT DOWN SO LOW
DID I SEE YOU
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
ALL THESE TIMES
WE HAVE SEEN

DID I SEE YOU
YOUR LOVE BLUSHING IN THE SUN
TURNING TO GOLD
DID YOU TURN TO ME AND SMILE
IT TAKES A LITTLE RAIN
TO WAKE UP SUMMER SKIES
YOU KNOW I REALIZE

YOU CAN'T HIDE YOUR LOVE
I KNOW YOU'VE TRIED 
YOU FOUND OUT
IT CAN'T BE DONE 
ITS MUCH TOO STRONG
TO EVER HOLD INSIDE

DID I SEE YOU 
FINALLY UNDERSTAND
PUT ALL YOUR TRUST
INTO MY HANDS
YOUR HEARTS BEEN TOUCHED
BY SOMETHING GOOD

YOU GATHER MY LOVE TO KEEP
WHEN YOU REACH OUT
ITS ALWAYS THERE 
A WARM EMBRACE
A KISS AND SOME CHEER
JUST TO BE NEAR
WATCH THE SKY TURN
FROM ORANGE TO GOLD
LETS GO BEFORE IT GETS TOO OLD

TIME FLOWS LIKE WATER
IN A STREAM
SEE IT GOING PAST YOU 
FALL RIGHT INTO A DREAM
WAKE UP
IN THE SECOND SCENE

SOFTLY IN THE SUN
YOU TAKE THE DAY ALONG
DID I SEE YOU MAKE IT MORE
WHAT MORE COULD IT BEAR
DID I SEE YOU
WILL I STILL FIND YOU THERE
TURNING TO TOMORROW
TURNING TO ME

WHEN I SAW YOU
THE SUN WAS SETTING IN YOUR HAIR
DID I SEE YOU
GIVE ME SOMETHING MORE TO BELIEVE
DID YOU HEAR ME SAY
YOU'RE ALL I WANT
I'LL BE LUCKY
 IF YOU NEVER LEAVE
TAKE A PIECE OF ME
 THAT YOU CAN KEEP
I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET THE REST
DID I SEE YOU
WHEN YOU WERE UP SO HIGH
YOUR LOVE BLUSHING IN THE SUN
TURNING INTO GOLD

OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT



IN THE SETTING SUNS GLOW

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


YESTERDAY I STOPPED
RIGHT WHERE I LAID
COULDN'T BEGIN
 TO FACE TOMORROW

THE HAND OF FATE
LIKE A HEAVY WEIGHT
FELL ON MY SHOULDERS
I STRUGGLED UNTIL I GOT FREE 

I KNOW NOT EVERY
 DREAM COMES TRUE 
FAILURES JUST A BRUISE
NOT A TATTOO

OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT
THERE'S ANOTHER DAY
IT SHOULD BE SO EASY
NOTHING BUT A SLIDE
GENTLY CARRIED BY THE TIDE
SET ON THE SHORES
OF EARLY DAWN

CARRY ON WITH YOU
 MY HEARTS IN YOUR HANDS
HOPE YOU CARE ENOUGH
TO KEEP IT SWEET

WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
WHEN I GET PAST
ALL THAT PRETTY BLUE
I STILL CAN'T READ YOUR MIND
I KNOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
YEARS AND MILES
GO DRIFTING BY
WITHOUT THE MAGIC
WHERE AM I

THE WORDSMITH MILL: PART OF THE WILD

PART OF THE WILD



PART OF THE WILD

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019


SOMETIMES YOU'RE BETTER OFF
NEVER ASKING WHY
JUST CARRY ON NEVER EXPECTING A THING
GET YOU TO THINGS
MONEY CANNOT BUY
THIS IS ALL I'VE GOT
SEE HOW A LITTLE
IS A LOT

A PERSPECTIVE, RECEPTIVE TO RECEIVE 
THAT'S MY HEART
RIGHT THERE ON MY SLEEVE
INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME WISHING
I DO EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS
AND IF I CAN'T
I'LL WALK AWAY
TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY
MAYBE I'LL SET MY SIGHTS
A LITTLE HIGHER

TELL ME THAT I CAN'T
AND I WILL
I'VE ALWAYS LIKE THAT KIND OF CHALLENGE
THAT KIND OF THRILL
NO MORE CHASING RAINBOWS
WISHING ON THE STARS
GIVE ME THINGS
I CAN TOUCH FOR REAL
HOLD ONTO AND FEEL

OUT THERE
ON THE ROAD
RIDING THE WIND
JUST TO FEEL THE THRILL
BE PART OF THE WILD
ANSWER THE CALL
TO HEARTFELT GLORY
AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE
ITS A REALITY I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED
BUT I'M STILL WORKING IT OUT
NEVER LIKED BEING KEPT IN THE DARK
OR LEAVING ANYTHING TO DOUBT
EACH NEW DAY BRINGS ME CLOSER
TO A PLACE I NEED TO BE

SUN AND RAIN WILL FALL
AND I CAN'T RECALL A TIME
WHEN I DIDN'T NEED YOUR LOVE
PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME
I ONLY WANT WHAT WE CAN HAVE
JUST WHAT WE NEED
A LITTLE TIME TO GE THERE 
THEN A LOT TO SPEND WITH YOU
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE CAN DO

THE WORDSMITH MILL: DIGGING IN MY HEART

THE WORDSMITH MILL: DIGGING IN MY HEART: DIGGING IN MY HEART WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019 DAYLIGHTS FADING FAST SHAPING DUSK TO DARK JUST A SPARK A LITTLE FIRE...

DIGGING IN MY HEART



DIGGING IN MY HEART

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

DAYLIGHTS FADING FAST
SHAPING DUSK TO DARK
JUST A SPARK A LITTLE FIRE
TO SIT BY
THE FOREST
 GROWS BLACK WITH NIGHT 
WAITING FOR THE MOON
AND A BILLION STARS

ALL ALONE
WAITING FOR YOU
A LITTLE TIME ALONE
JUST TO UNWIND
GET INSIDE THESE DREAMS
I STARTED HERE ONCE BEFORE
NOW I'M BACK FOR MORE
START IT ALL AGAIN

ITS BEEN YEARS
BUT THESE LAST FEW WEEKS
WAITING FOR THIS
MARKING TIME
PROUD THAT I CAN SAY
I MADE IT MINE
I'VE GOT TO FILL UP MY SOUL
MOTHER EARTH
DIGGING IN MY HEART
LOOKING FOR THE PASSION
TAKING OUT THE ROAD BLOCKS
THAT MIGHT KEEP US APART
FATE THAT WAS CHARMED 
RIGHT FROM THE START

SOMETIMES YOU GET SO LOST
GET SO FARAWAY
FROM THE PLACES
YOU WERE MEANT TO BE
WHEN YOU FINALLY FIND
THAT ROAD THAT TAKES YOU BACK
THERE'S NO HESITATION
YOU RIDE IT HOME
BACK TO THE PLACE
THAT YOU BELONG

A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE
JUST AS YOU ARRIVE
BLUE SKIES KISSED BY A
GENTLE SUMMER BREEZE
MOUNTAINS RISE
FROM THE MIST
MAKES ME FEEL SO ALIVE

WHAT I'D BEEN MISSING
 ALL ALONG
HERE WITH YOU
INSIDE YOUR LOVE
BENEATH THE BIGGEST BLUE SKIES
THE TALLEST TREES
MAYBE THE SCENT OF PINE
IS GOING TO MY HEAD
OR MAYBE ITS YOU INSTEAD
YOUR LIFE
YOUR LOVE IN MY HANDS
IT SHINES BACK TO YOU

IN THE MEADOW
RIGHT BESIDE THE MOON
JUST YOU AND I
AND ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY
HOW I BELIEVE IN YOU
MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE
IT WON'T BE LONG
MOTHER EARTH
DIGGING IN MY HEART

ONE LOOK, ONE TRY



ONE LOOK, ONE TRY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

WHICH WAY ARE YOU GONNA FLY
FRAUGHT WITH DECEPTIONS
DISTRACTIONS, DANGER
ITS A GREAT BIG SKY
STRAIGHT AHEAD
LEFT OR RIGHT
EITHER WAY ITS GONNA BE
A FIGHT TO FIND YOUR WAY

A LITTLE DOSE OF POISON
JUST TO BE IMMUNE
AND YOU'RE OKAY
SOMETIMES YOU PUT IT TOGETHER
YOU WATCH  IT FALL APART
ALL OR NOTHING
SHELTERED OR EXPOSED
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS
THAT DON'T OFTEN COLLIDE

MISUNDERSTOOD OR CLEAR AS RAIN
ONE LIFE ONE CHANCE
ONE LOOK ONE TRY
EVERYONE'S WAITING 
JUMP IN DON'T BE SHY
SOONER OR LATER
YOU'VE GOT TO FLY
MAYBE ITS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
STRIKE OUT ON YOUR OWN

YOU TAKE YOURSELF
 AWAY FROM IT ALL
GET LIFE ON YOU
THE MILES BETWEEN GROW
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW
YOU'RE FLYING ALL ALONE
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GO HOME
THERE'S TOO MUCH LIVING TO DO
LIKE A SPELL YOU'RE UNDER

I PROMISE ITS NOT JUST YOU
THE ROADS THAT YOU TAKE
THE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE
WILL LEAD YOU TO
SUCCESS OR A MISTAKE
THE OUTCOME'S DOWN TO FATE
DON'T SAY GOODBYE
JUST GO
I WOULDN'T WANT YOU
TO THINK THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT'S ON MY MIND
ANOTHER ONE IN A MILLION
YOU KNOW I'M NOT WRONG
