GIVE MYSELF AWAY





GIVE MYSELF AWAY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019



I'LL BE THE MASK YOU WEAR
THAT SMILES
I'LL COVER YOU
KEEP YOU FROM HARM
A LOT OF LOVE
A LITTLE CHARM
TO LEAD YOU THERE
AND BEYOND

I'LL BE WHAT YOU NEED
YOUR SYMPATHY
YOUR ALIBI
THE MORE OF YOU
I THRIVE
I NEED YOU
INSIDE MY LIFE 

I'LL BE THE ONE
THAT LIGHTS THE SHADOWS
IN YOUR HEART
IF DARKNESS BEFALLS YOU
THE MAGIC BEHIND
THE MYSTERY
YOUR EVERYTHING
ANYTHING YOU WANT
ME TO BE

KICK BACK WITH ME
HOLD ONTO MY ARM
LOOK UP AT THE SKY
WATCH THE CLOUDS GO BY
I'LL BE THE ONE
YOU WANT TO STAY
THE ONE THAT
LETS YOU FEEL

REACH DEEP
 INTO YOUR HEART
GIVE MYSELF
GIVE MYSELF AWAY
JUST TO YOU
JUST TO YOU

I'LL BE YOUR LOVE
EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON
AROUND YOU
SHINE ON YOU
LIKE THE MORNING SUN
PLAY WITH YOU
WHEN THE WORKS ALL DONE

IF YOU'RE FRIGHTENED
I'LL HOLD YOUR TREMBLING HANDS 
BE YOUR BRAVE FACE
BE WITH YOU HERE
OR THERE
ANYPLACE AT ALL 

I'LL BE YOUR LUCKY STAR
YOUR HEARTS DESIRE
OUR TIME HAS COME
I'LL LEAD YOU THERE
AND BEYOND

WATCH THE MOON
SHINE ON YOUR FACE
SILVER CLOUDS
SLIPPING AWAY
HOLD YOU IN THE NIGHT
SAY YOU WILL
AND I'LL BE, ALRIGHT

LONELY TIDE





LONELY TIDE
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019
 
 
DIAMOND SUN KEEP SHINING DOWN
UNTIL THE EVENINGS 
MISTY DUSK
SURROUNDS US
STARLIGHT  FALLS 
ON THE NIGHT
BIG YELLOW MOON
STARING RIGHT AT US
 
SUMMERS FADING MEMORIES
FLOATING BY
A LONELY BEACH MEETS
A LONELY TIDE
THE SWEET MEMORIES MADE
MAYBE JUST A FEW
ALL WITH YOU
 
SEE YOUR SMILING FACE
ON A SEA OF LOVE
IN THE SUMMER SUN
NOW I SEE ITS DONE
CLOAKED IN COLD
 STEEL GRAY SKIES
 
TIME FLIES AWAY
SPINNING FASTER
AROUND THE SUN
TAKE MY HAND
DANCE BESIDE THE FIRE
TAKE MY LOVE WITH YOU
EVERYWHERE YOU GO
TUCKED INSIDE YOUR HEART
TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
WHAT HURTS YOU
 
NEVER BENEATH
ALWAYS SHINING LIKE A STAR
NEVER STEAL YOUR THUNDER
STEP ON YOUR LIGHT
ASK ME TO HOLD YOU
I JUST MIGHT
 
DON'T EVER LEAVE ME
LIKE SUMMERS END
SAD AND BLUE
I WAITED SO LONG FOR YOU
WHATEVER COMES
I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOU
A LONELY BEACH
MEETS A LONELY TIDE
I FOUND YOUR WORLD
I STEPPED INSIDE
 
ALL MY JUDGMENT
PUT ASIDE
ALL I SEE
IS A HEART
FILLED WITH LOVE
QUIETLY WAITING
TO FLY
WHERE ONCE THERE WAS A DREAM
NOW THERE'S REALITY
A NEW REASON WHY

SOMETHING




   SOMETHING

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

I COULD CARE ENOUGH
TO STOP MYSELF FROM FALLING
THIS SIDE, THAT SIDE
THE SIDE I'M ON
HOW DO I KNOW
ITS THE RIGHT ONE
GO BY FEEL
MY HEART TRIES TO
MAKE IT CLEAR

ANSWERS WAITING ALONE
FOR QUESTIONS ASKED
ALONG THE WAY
WILL THEY BE
ITS SO HARD TO SAY

THE STARS HANG THERE
IN THE SKY
DRIFTING DREAMING
PASSING BY
LOOKING LEAVING
SEEING BELIEVING
STILL STALLING FOR
A LITTLE TIME  

PUSHING MY LUCK ASIDE
I'VE STILL GOT TO TRY
DON'T KNOW WHY
CAN'T SAY WHEN
IF I'LL BE BACK
THIS WAY AGAIN

YOU WIN SOME
YOU LOSE SOME
YOU WANT SOME MORE
CLOSER TO
SOMETHING NEW TO ME
I'LL SOON BE FREE 

THE YEARS WENT BY
TIES MADE, TIES BROKE
THINGS THAT NEVER WORKED
THINGS THAT DID
WERE JUST PASSING BY

THE TIDE RUSHES IN
ANOTHER CASTLE
CRUMBLES TO THE SEA
I COULD CARE ENOUGH
TO STOP MYSELF
FROM BELIEVING
THIS SIDE OF SOMEWHERE
I CAN SEE
I'M NEAR AN END
AND SOMETHING NEW
WAITING TO BEGIN

BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN



BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019


THE SUN WAS GENTLE
A NEW SPRING BORN
A SKY OF BLUE
IN EARLY MORN
A SEA OF GREEN
CARESSES THE SHORELINE
A SOFT BREEZE
IS BLOWING
THE WHOLE PICTURE
HAS SO MUCH TO SAY
 SO MUCH TO DO

WELCOME BACK THE SUN
LET IT SHINE DOWN
ON YOU AND ME
TAKE THIS FEELING
AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE
WEAR IT LIKE A CROWN

FALLING DOWN
BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN
WICK AWAY THE TENSIONS
FROM WINTERS DIM LIGHT
A DREAMY DAY
PASS THE TIME WITH YOU
IF YOU'RE GOING
 TO STAY NEAR
MY LOVE

COME ON STAY
WE CAN MAKE MEMORIES
RIGHT HERE
SWEET IN THE SUN
TO DREAM
THE HOURS AWAY
MY LOVE FOR YOU
KNOWS NO END
LIKE THE RIVER
FINDS ITS WAY TO SEA
YOU CAN BE MY DESTINY

THE LOVE
THE WARM GLOW
YOUR ONLY ONE
THE TIME HAS COME
THE MAY QUEENS 
FEET ARE ON THE PATH
HANDS UPON THE POLE
COLORED RIBBONS 
FLUTTER IN THE WIND
DANCING WITH
 FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
YOU MIGHT STILL
FIND HER THERE
WELCOMING THE SUN
FOR ALL TO SEE
BABY, IN IT
WE SHALL EVER BE
MY LOVE

AWAY



AWAY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019


MAYBE ITS YOUR SMILE
MAYBE ITS YOUR LAUGH
MAYBE ITS THE WAY
YOU TURN LOVE
INTO A CRAFT
YOU MAKE MY WORLD
SEEM SO EMPTY 
WHEN YOU'RE GONE

LIKE A LONELY CANYON
IN STARLIGHT
WAITING FOR THE SUN
JUST LIKE ME
AS I WAIT FOR YOU
TO COME BACK TO ME

ALL THE WAYS I LOVE YOU
YOU CAN SEE
WHERE THIS IS HEADED TO
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
YOUR CALL
GUESS I NEED YOU AFTER ALL
EVEN THE MOON
 LOOKS LONELY TONIGHT
 I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT
BUT SOMETHING
 DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT 
GIVE ME A CLUE
I'D SAY ITS YOU

I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I SEE YOUR PICTURE
I REACH OUT
 AND YOU'RE NOT THERE 
MY HEART DROPS
INTO DESPAIR
I WAKE UP ALONE
AND WONDER WHEN
I EVER GOT TO SLEEP
AM I IN THIS DEEP

IT ALL FEELS LIKE
EVERYTHING IS MOVING
IN A DREAM 
GLOWING LIKE A STAR
 THAT'S FALLING
MAYBE YOU RECEIVED
MY SIGNAL
MAYBE YOU GOT MY MESSAGE
MY SOS
GUESS I NEED YOU
THAT BADLY
I CONFESS

SO LONELY
WHEN YOU'RE AWAY
THE NIGHT IS EMPTY
THIS BED IS TOO BIG
WITHOUT YOU
WHEN YOU'RE GONE
ITS ALREADY BEEN
 TOO LONG

WHILE THE HEAVENS FALL




WHILE THE HEAVENS FALL 

WRITTEN BY J.HILTON

2019

OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
THE RAIN WAS FALLING
ON THE ROSES
THE GRASS SO GREEN, IT SHONE
AND JUST BEYOND
THE WAY THE MIST
FELL ON THE TREES
A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC LIKE THAT
NEVER HURT A DAY LIKE THIS

FALLING IN AND OUT
OF DREAMS
NOT MUCH TO SAY
I'M SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
HERE AND THERE
BUT THERE IS WHERE
I'M NOT EVEN SURE

 LOST INSIDE A BOOK
ANOTHER CENTURY
A SECOND LOOK
LEANED IN TOO FAR
AND I WAS GONE
DON'T KNOW 
FOR HOW LONG

MY SPIRITS FREE
FREE AS MY IMAGINATION
JUST THE SMALLEST BIT
OF INSPIRATION
IS ALL I NEED TO GO ON
TALLER THAN A MOUNTAIN
WIDER THAN A SEA
DEEP AND BLUE
A MYSTERY 
LOST IN TIME WITH ME

READ ABOUT IT
WHILE THE HEAVENS FALL
YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT ALL, ANYWAY
LOOKING PAST THIS
GLOOMY AFTERNOON
ADDING MAGIC TO THIS ROOM  
THERE'S  STILL HOPE FOR THIS DAY

THE HOPE IS ALL



THE HOPE IS ALL

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


WITH EYES OF YOUTH WE GO
FULL OF HOPE AND SO
CHARGED AND WOUND SO TIGHT
MOVING CLOSER TO THE LIGHT
SEEKING OUT THE SUN
WAITING FOR SOMEONE
TO TURN YOUR WORLD
INTO SOMETHING
ITS NEVER BEEN

INSIDE LOVES EMBRACE
IT FEELS WARM AND SAFE
I'LL KISS THE RAIN
FROM HER LIPS
WALKING DOWN THE BEACH
THE WAVES BREAKING
JUST BEYOND 
OUR FOOTSTEPS
IN THE SAND 

THIS IS YOU
SLOWLY FALLING THROUGH 
FACE IT YOU'RE FALLING
YOUR HEART ALREADY KNOWS
FELT CUPID'S ARROW
FIND ITS MARK

SAT THERE TOGETHER
LOOKING AT ALL THE STARS
IN THE SKY
SHE HARDLY NOTICED ANY
AND EITHER DID I

HER LOVE SHE GIVES TO ME
SOMETHING I CAN'T REFUSE
TO MY HEART IT ALREADY
YESTERDAYS NEWS
THE HOPE IS ALL
THERE IS WE BOTH SHARE
WE CAN STAY TOGETHER
WITH A LITTLE LUCK
AND A LOT OF LOVE
FOREVER

THE SUNS ALREADY RISING 
ITS NO SURPRISE
WHEN I'M NEXT TO YOU
TIME ALWAYS GOES TOO FAST
TASTE THE SWEETNESS
BEFORE ITS GONE
NOTHING EVER
LASTS THAT LONG

WHO'S TO SAY BUT YOU AND I
ONE TO TEN
AND BACK AGAIN
ALL THE WAY TO
WHERE WE BEGIN
THE STARS WERE BLOWING PAST
THE WORLD WAS
STANDING STILL
AND EVERY WORD YOU SAID
MADE SO MUCH SENSE

HI OH
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
THE HOPE IS ALL
THERE IS WE BOTH SHARE

THE WILD SKY



THE WILD SKY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019


MYSTERIES EVER PRESENT
NEVER THE TIME 
EACH NEW ONE
HAS TO JOIN THE LINE
WITH WISHES WAITING
TO COME TO LIFE
STUCK RIGHT THERE
WAITING FOR SOME LIGHT

STILL OUT ON THE LINE
 ALL MY TIME 
 DRIVING HARD
A STRUGGLE FOR EVERY YARD

I'M STILL IN THE WILD SKY
A SHOE IN TO WIN
I'M LEARNING TO FLY
STEADY AND HIGH
AND WHEN I HAVE TO LAND
I JUST WANT TO
TAKE OFF AGAIN
INTO THE WILD SKY
ITS WORTH A TRY

AND THROUGH THESE EYES
I SEE A CHANCE
TO MAKE IT BE SOMETHING
IT NEVER WAS
I'M GONNA TAKE IT
SHAKE IT TIL ITS MINE

IT MIGHT TAKE ALL NIGHT
BUT IN THE END
 I'LL GET IT RIGHT
CENTERED FOCUSED
MAKING ROOM TO BREATHE
WAITING TO GO AGAIN

MAYBE ITS NOT A RACE
BUT I'LL HAVE TO WIN IT
JUST IN CASE
I'M STILL OUT IN
THE WILD BLUE SKY
BUT I'M COMING IN
GIVE ME CLEARANCE AS
MY APPROACH BEGINS

CAN'T WAIT TO LAND
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
I'M LOW ON FUEL 
MY HOPES ARE STILL HIGHER
THAN THESE CLOUDS

TAKE ME TO DREAM



TAKE ME TO DREAM

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

BENEATH THE STARS
I LAY MY HEAD
TAKE ME TO SLEEP
DROP ME IN DEEP
LET ME DREAM
HELP ME FIGURE OUT
WHAT IT MEANS

KEEP ME FILLED WITH WONDER
STAY ABOVE WITHOUT
GOING UNDER
STARS GO PASSING BY
I COUNT THEM
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY
I'M UP SO LATE
I'M UP SO HIGH
KEEP ME SAFE AS I GO

LET ME DREAM
SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN
NOTHING SO DREARY AS
A DARK LONELY NIGHT
I'VE SEEN ENOUGH TO
KNOW I'M RIGHT
TAKE ME TO DREAM
WHERE WARM BREEZES BLOW
COME ON LET'S GO

PRECIOUS MINUTES BURN
ON THE CLOCK
MY INNER VOICE
JUST WON'T STOP
WAITS TIL NOW TO TALK
CAN'T SLEEPWALK 
TO GET AWAY
SLEEP WHERE ANGELS PLAY
IN MISTY MEADOWS
IMMERSED IN GOLDEN SUN

JUST DRIFT AWAY
TO DREAMS
SMOOTH THE EDGES
SEAL THE SEAMS
TAKE ME AS I AM
AND MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN
JUST ENOUGH TO GO ON
MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY
ITS ONLY HOURS AWAY
