JULY MORNING

JULY MORNING

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

WOKE UP TO THE SUN

A JULY MORNING 

SHINES LIKE A JEWEL

THE SKY IS FALLING

INTO MISTY GOLDEN LIGHT

SWEETNESS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

MAGIC WHAT ELSE COULD THIS BE

AND OUT THERE

 ON THE OCEAN STILL

NO WAVES TO SEE BETWEEN 

NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY

TO BE SEEN 

ALL THAT'S REMAINING IS

TO LIFT MYSELF

ABOVE THIS LONELINESS

THIS PIECE OF  MY HEART THAT'S GONE

A DAY LIKE THIS

DOESN'T QUITE HOLD UP

WITHOUT YOU

NOW ITS TIME TO DECIDE

WHAT I'M GONNA DO

SOME LOFTY LONELY PLACE

TO LOOK DOWN ON THE WORLD

TREAT MY FACE TO THE SUN

NO HURRY, NO NEED TO RUN

I CAN'T HELP IT

 I THINK ABOUT YOU

WONDER WHAT YOU'RE DOING

THE WORLD PASSES BY BELOW

I SIT HERE AND WATCH THE SHOW

BUT IT JUST DOESN'T

 FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD

ITS ONLY WITH YOU BESIDE ME

THAT IT WOULD

WHEN YOU'RE GONE YOU'RE GONE

THE LIGHT THAT SHONE IS DARK

I LOOKED EVERYWHERE

AND ITS JUST NOT HERE

FEELS LIKE SUMMER TIME

LET YOU SLIP AWAY

I KNEW YOU HAD TO GO

I KNEW YOU'D BE BACK

I CAN'T ESCAPE THE VOID

THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH ROOM

WHEN YOU GO AWAY

I DON'T FEEL SO SURROUNDED

 BY YOUR LOVE

THE EMOTIONS THAT

WASH OVER ME

WHEN YOU'RE NEAR

RUN ON HIGH

DON'T MIND ME

I'M JUST LONELY

FOR YOUR COMPANY

IF YOU HEAR YOUR NAME

WHISPERED ON THE BREEZE 

THAT'S JUST ME

FEEL MY LOVE

 CAPTURE MY DESIRES

MY IMAGINATION

WAKE UP BESIDE ME

TO THE SUN

A JULY MORNING

SHINING LIKE A JEWEL

  

THE WORDSMITH MILL: TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU

THE WORDSMITH MILL: TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU: TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019 TAKE THIS SUNRISE  EMBRACE THIS DAY DON'T HOLD ON SO TIGHT ...

TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU

TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

TAKE THIS SUNRISE 

EMBRACE THIS DAY

DON'T HOLD ON SO TIGHT

WE WON'T LET IT GET AWAY

SOMETIME, SOMEWHERE 

JUST RIGHT

FINDS ME HOLDING YOU

IN THE LAST FADING LIGHT

 A LULLABY AS YOU

CLOSE YOUR EYES

AS STARS FILL UP THE SKIES

TIME BROUGHT US TOGETHER

TIME KEPT US APART

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES

 I COULD  FIND YOU

GUARDING YOUR HEART

BEHIND A FORTRESS WALL

JUST A CANDLE TO LEAD THE WAY

TO THE SUN 

A WINDOW TO THE MOON

THE TIME I SPENT

WONDERING IF YOU KNEW

IT WAS ME

OH BLESSED ARE THE DAYS

THAT START AND END WITH YOU

IN REFLECTION

ITS JUST YOU I WANT NEAR

SOFT MUSIC PLAYING

 ON MY GUITAR

I KNOW YOU HEAR IT 

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

I KNOW IF I CALL YOU

THAT YOU'RE NOT FAR

TELL ME THINGS ABOUT YOU

YOU THINK I SHOULD KNOW

WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

AND WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

 WHAT YOU DID

 WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG

WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEART

ITS TIME TO SAY

MAYBE I JUST NEED

TO HEAR THE WORDS

BUT EITHER WAY

I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU BEHIND

LIKE THE SUN I TAKE YOU

EVERYWHERE I GO

AND IF I DON'T I WOULD

SEE I'M FALLING

I NEVER STOPPED

DIDN'T KNOW I WAS

SUPPOSED TO GET OFF

SO KEEP ON TELLING ME

THINGS ABOUT YOU

I SHOULD KNOW

WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART

THAT'S THE HARDEST PART

AND IF THE WORDS WON'T COME

I'LL BE HERE WHEN THEY DO

CHASING THE WIND

CHASING THE WIND

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2019

WE USED TO STAND HERE

AND WATCH THE SUNRISE 

WE USED TO CHASE THE WIND

CHASE THE WILD AND FREE

NOTHING MORE

 THAT WE WANTED TO BE 

WE WERE YOUNG AND ANXIOUS

RESTLESS AND SURE

HEARTS STILL PURE

NOT TAINTED BY THE WORLD

NEVER BURNED BY THE FIRE

CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK

WE HAD IT MADE

THE SUN MOVED FAST

SEASONS CHANGED

AND FEELINGS LED THE WAY

TO BROKEN HEARTS

READY TO RETURN

BUT THERE'S NO GOING BACK

IT ALL LEADS AWAY

STEADY SURE

LIKE THE RIVER FLOWS

NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME

PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MINDS

IT HURTS BUT I

LEARNED NOT TO CRY

EVEN IF I WANTED TO

THOSE TEARS ARE ALL GONE

INTUITION LOGICAL TO A FAULT

FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I TRUST

WE USED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING

WE STILL DO

I'LL NEVER GIVE IN

 TO LIVING A LIE

NO COMPROMISE

 WHY WOULD I

NOT WHILE THERE'S STILL

 GLORY IN HONOR

THAT'S THE SIDE 

YOU'LL FIND ME ON 

WE USED TO EXTRACT SO MUCH MAGIC

FROM A SUMMERS DAY

WE USED TO SMELL THE FLOWERS

WE USED TO CHASE THE WIND

CHASE THE STARS AND

FIND OUR WAY BACK AGAIN

WAY BACK WHEN

 WE WERE FREE SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT

WE USED TO THINK

WE COULDN'T LOSE

WHEN SUMMERS DRAGGED ON AND ON

THEY COULD NEVER BE TOO LONG

WE NEVER KNEW

 THE TIDE WAS CHANGING

UNTIL ONE DAY IT WAS GONE

ITS SOMEWHERE OUT THERE

CHASING THE WIND

YOU JUST CAN'T COME BACK AGAIN

ANGEL WISE

ANGEL WISE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON JULY 2019

I SAW AN EMPTY FIELD

I SAW THE SKY SO GRAY

I SAW THE SUN SO SCATTERED

DRIFTING AWAY

THROUGH A VEIL OF CLOUD

I FELT THE COOL WIND

START BLOWING THE TALL GRASS

LIKE WAVES UPON THE SEA

DIVIDED BY THE SKY

GUESS THAT I

MUST BE IN A STATE OF AWE

BECAUSE I CAN'T MOVE AN INCH

BRING ME TO MY KNEES

KEEP ME IN THE LOOP

KEEP ME WHOLE SO I CAN SEE

SO I CAN GO

I SAW AN ANGEL BOUND TO EARTH

SHE KNOWS WHAT ITS ALL WORTH

I LOOKED RIGHT INTO HER EYES 

I DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY, ANYTHING

SHE READ MY MIND

A MILLION THINGS

I DIDN'T ASK HER TO STAY 

SHE DID ANYWAY

AND IN HER SWEET GLOWING LIGHT

WE NEVER MISSED A THING

THE NIGHT WAS OURS ALONE

AND IF TIME STOPPED

I'D BE HERE WITH YOU

ANGELS FLY, ANGELS FALL

ANGELS WITH US

NO SURPRISE AT ALL

YOUR SMILE GAVE YOU AWAY

YOUR SWEET EYES

BLUE AND ANGEL WISE

A HEART TO MATCH THE FLAME

SHE CAME TO ME

ON A MORNING WITH BURNING SUN

WHAT HAVE WE DONE

I KNOW YOU KNOW 

I WANT YOU TO STAY 

WANT YOU HERE WITH ME UNTIL

THERE'S NO ROOM TO GO

THE HOLD YOU HAVE

TOUCHES ME

TOUCHES YOU 

THE SPACE BETWEEN

IS CLOSING

ANGEL OF MINE

IF I DARE SAY

PLEASE DON'T YOU FLY AWAY

COULD OF BEEN MY BEST DAY

WHEN I FOUND YOU

LOST IN THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

JULY 2019

KEEP HOLDING OUT

KEEP HOLDING ON

ITS GOING WELL

IT WON'T BE LONG

YOU'LL BE LOST

IN THE SUN

TIMELESS WHEN

ITS ALL SAID AND DONE

KINDNESS AND A 

HAPPY ENDING TO A

NEW BEGINNING

I ALWAYS KNEW

BUT I WASN'T SURE

IF I'D MAKE THE CONNECTION

RUNNING FAST, RUNNING HARD

YEARS WITH NO CARD

LIVING LEAN

STREETS WERE MEAN

LIFE UNKIND

LET YOU UNWIND

UNTIL THERE'S

 NO MORE TO PULL

JUST A SHRED OF HOPE

WAS ALL I HAD

ANYTHING MORE

I'D HAVE TO ADD

I NEVER GET CAUGHT UP

IN FAILURE 

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO QUIT

I'M NOT HAVING ANY OF IT

I SHAKE IT OFF

I SLIP AWAY

TOMORROWS NEVER

JUST ANOTHER DAY

SEE WHAT I CAN GET

 TO COME MY WAY 

JUST WHAT I DESERVE

THAT'S ALL

I'M JUST FOLLOWING A STAR

THAT SOMETIMES

I CAN'T SEE

NO I WON'T BE LEFT BEHIND

YES ITS TRUE I FOUND A WAY

REACH DOWN SO FAR

TO DO MY BEST TODAY

SO TOMORROW DOESN'T 

GET IN THE WAY

I ALWAYS KNEW

BUT I WASN'T SURE

YOU CAN'T GET RICH

IF YOU WERE NEVER POOR

I DON'T KNOW 

HOW TO QUIT

I'M ALWAYS IN

 THE MIDDLE OF IT

NO I'M FAR FROM

 FINISHED YET 

STILL RUNNING

WITH THE FLAME

EDGING CLOSER EACH DAY

GETTING NEARER

TIMELESS WHEN ITS

ALL SAID AND DONE

LOST IN THE SUN

FOUND ON

A MOONLIT NIGHT

ON A MISTY BEACH

AT DAWN

THE WAVES LAPPING

AT THE SHORE

OUR FOOTSTEPS

IN THE SAND

IN NO HURRY

TIMELESS WHEN ITS DONE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: A WORLD OF DREAMS: A WORLD OF DREAMS WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019 RUNNING FREE UNDER SUNNY SKIES YOU AND I SEE THE MOUNTAINS RISE FIELDS...

A WORLD OF DREAMS

A WORLD OF DREAMS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019

RUNNING FREE UNDER SUNNY SKIES

YOU AND I

SEE THE MOUNTAINS RISE

FIELDS OF GREEN, MILES OF TREES

AN OCEAN OF MAJESTIC GREENS

A WORLD OF DREAMS

WAITING THERE IN THE SUN

YOU MOVE A LITTLE CLOSER

AND EVERYTHING SEEMS SO RIGHT

SUMMER IN DAZZLING LIGHT 

EVENINGS GENTLE AND SOFT

LIT UP BY THE STARS

GATHERING IN THE HEAVENS

I LIFT YOUR HEAD

I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES 

RIGHT INTO YOUR LOVE

ITS ALWAYS WHAT I WANT FROM YOU

TO KNOW YOUR HEART IS MINE

I WANT YOU THERE TO HELP ME

NAVIGATE THROUGH 

STORMY WATERS

FIND THE OTHER SIDE

BACK INTO THE SUN

LIKE IT WAS NOTHING

NO EXTRA EFFORT ON OUR PART

TOGETHER IT BEGINS 

AND RUNS TO END

THIS MOUNTAIN WE WILL CLIMB

SIDE BY SIDE

WHERE WRONGS GET RIGHT

 ANGELS WATCHING OVER

WITH EQUANIMITY 

TWO SILHOUETTES

 AGAINST THE SUN

WALKING ALONG A RIDGE

WHERE THE EARTH MEETS THE SKY

BETTER FOR KNOWING

OUR LOVE COULD NEVER DIE

TO HAVE TO HOLD

WHEN IT COMES TO YOU

I'M SOLD

DON'T NEED DIAMONDS OR GOLD

I DIG RIGHT INTO YOUR LOVE

YOU'RE PART OF MY SOUL NOW

NEVER WANT TO SEE THE END

WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE

SUMMER SKIES AT THE FORE

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE

YOU AND I SHOULD BE THERE

A WORLD OF DREAMS

TO WAKE AND SLEEP
