HEART OF FIRE

WINTER STOLE THE DAY

 

PAINTED THE SKY

 

WHITE AND GRAY

 

SET THE STAGE

 

ALL WE HAD TO DO

 

WAS PLAY OUR PART

 

BUT WHERE DO WE START

 

LET'S SEE HOW NOTHING BUT TIME

 

CAN BE SPENT

 

 

 

EACH  MOMENT PRECIOUS

 

AS THE SNOW FLEW PAST THE WINDOW

 

AND THE WIND MOANED THROUGH THE CRACKS

 

COVERING ALL OUR TRACKS

 

THWARTING ANY PLANS

 

WE LISTENED INTENTLY

 

I HELD YOU CLOSE

 

AWAY FROM THE COLD

 

A HEART OF FIRE TO LIGHT YOURS

 

FROM WILD TO LOVE TO WILD

 

AND BACK TO LOVE

 

 

 

TOOK YOU TO A WORLD

 

AWAY FROM THIS ONE

 

THE STORM A RAGE ALL AROUND US

 

WE HARDLY KNEW

 

TIME WAS HOLDING US IN PLACE

 

NOTHING ELSE TO HOLD US BACK

 

TOGETHER ALONE TIME STOOD STILL

 

LONG ENOUGH TO FILL THE DAY

 

OUR LOVE FOUND A WAY

 

WHILE STORMY SKIES FOUGHT TO WIN

 

AND WE WILL NOT FORGET

 

ALL THAT WE HAD

 

ALL  WE WERE 

NOW YOU SLEEP

YOU WERE SWEET FOR SURE

I NEEDED MORE THAN

MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE ME

I NEVER MEANT TO TAKE SO MUCH OF YOU

BUT ITS ALL THAT I COULD DO

WHEN WINTER STOLE THE DAY

 

 

IN SUMMERS INTENT

SUMMERS LIGHT

 

 BURNED INTO MY SOUL

 

YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

I SAY I'VE CHANGED

 

BUT I'M STILL THE SAME

 

TAKING SIDES

 

GIVE ME SUMMER EVERY TIME

 

THE WOODS MY CATHEDRAL 

 

HIDDEN BY LEAVES OF GREEN

 

THE SUN RAYS DAZZLE

 

AS THEY SNEAK BETWEEN

 

INTO YOUR EYES SO DEEP AND BLUE

 

LIKE A CALLING SEA

 

 KEEPS ME GOING

 

I DARE NOT STOP

 

MOVING TOWARDS ETERNAL SUMMER SUN

 

IT SEEMS TO WANNA KEEP ME FOR ITS OWN

 

AND MAYBE YOU'VE GOT OTHER PLANS

 

ALL I CAN SAY IS

 

YOU'LL NEVER LOSE YOUR WAY

 

TO MY LOVE

 

ON A SUMMERS DAY

 

LIVE TO GET AWAY

 

LOST IN THE CLOUDS

 

IN SKIES OF ENDLESS BLUE

 

BRING ME TO MY KNEES

 

AN OCEAN BREEZE ME YOU AND TIME

 

 TURNING SLOWLY IN THE SUN 

 

UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT

 

NOT EVEN A GOODBYE

 

IT WAS DONE

 

 

 

MY HEART GOT LEFT BEHIND

 

IN SUMMERS INTENT

 

THE TIMES WE SPENT

 

BENEATH THE STARS 

WITH HOPES THAT NEVER LEFT THE GROUND

AS AUTUMN RINGING

THE LEAVES LISTENING BLUSH AND FALL

ANOTHER END THAT'S ALL

NO MORE SUMMER BREEZE

NO MORE LOVE THAT CAN'T FIND A WAY

JUST A LONELY SILENCE

TO LEAD YOU AWAY

 

 

THE STEPS WE TAKE

DREAMS STRUNG OUT FOR MILES BEHIND US

 

SOME KEEP UP THE HURRIED PACE

 

THEIR ALL HERE BESIDE ME

 

BENEATH BLUE SKIES

 

THE CLOUDS A WISPY VEIL 

 

AND OFF WE SAIL TO FIND THE SUN

 

A SHINING PATH OF GOLDEN LIGHT

 

TO LEAD US AWAY

 

DO YOU FEEL THE COLORS FLOW

 

PAINTING THE SKY AS THEY GO

 

 

 

STANDING BESIDE ME

 

YOUR ARMS AROUND ALL THE WAY

 

AROUND ME

 

I FEEL YOUR LOVE REACH INTO MY SOUL

 

TAKE IT FAR BEYOND THE SHADOWS

 

OF DOUBT

 

SO YOU CAN SEE THEM PICK THEM OUT

 

THE HOURS WE SAVE

 

THE TIMES WE WASTE

 

FALLING IN AND OUT OF PLACE

 

THE STEPS ARE MANY TO FIND OUR WAY

 

GUIDED BY THE STARS AND MY OWN THOUGHTS

 

THROUGH BLACK WATER

 

PRAY I CAN DELIVER YOU SAFELY TO SHORE

 

 

 

THIS IS JUST BEGINNING

 

GETTING OFF THE GROUND

 

BELIEVE ME ALL THE LOVE YOU FOUND

 

IS TRIED AND TRUE 

 

ALL FOR YOU IF YOUR LONELY

 

LET ME BE YOUR ONLY CURE

 

IN YOUR HEART

 

JUST ANOTHER PART OF YOU

 

THAT I FIT INTO

 

BURNING WITH YOUR FIRE

 

SWEET LULLABY 

 

SLEEP ON IT 

 

WHILE THE STARS TAKE THE STAGE 

 

UNTIL THE WIND TURNS THE PAGE

 

LANDS THE MORNING SUN ON YOU

 

FOLLOW YOUR HEART FROM THERE

 

SURROUNDED BY BLUE

 

THE GLORY IN THE STARS

 

THE STEPS WE TAKE TO FIND OUR LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BREATHE

BREATHE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019 

DEEP INSIDE THE SILENCE

WHERE NO ONE ELSE CAN HEAR

I CAN HEAR IT ROARING

AS I AM DRAWING NEAR

SWALLOWED BY LUSH GREEN

AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE

SUN AS DEEP

AS THE SERENITY

LET ME CALL SPIRITS OF OLD

TO GATHER ROUND THE FIRE

SITTING ON THE WINGS

OF IMAGINATION

THIS POINT OF VIEW

THAT I AM LOOKING THROUGH

 I SEE MORE THAN STARS

MOUNTAINS AND TREES

I GO TO A PLACE INSIDE

IN THE STILLNESS

AND CALM

I CAN ALMOST BREATHE

SPIRITS RISE FROM THE MIST

POINT TO TRAILS 

I'VE NEVER SEEN

THROUGH TOWERING EVERGREENS

LEADING ME AWAY

 

 

 

 

THE WAY SHE SHINES

HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS

 

YOUR MIND GOES BLANK

 

YOU WONDER WHO TO THANK

 

FOR THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN

 

THE LATTER STILL REMAINS

 

WHAT WILL IT TAKE

 

WHO WILL IT BE

 

TO LET YOU FORGET

 

LEAVE YOU NO TIME

 

TO LOOK BEHIND

 

 

 

YOU CAN'T MISS HER

 

THE WAY SHE SHINES

 

LIKE AN ALL DAY PARADE IN THE SUN

 

A GODDESS, A GIFT 

 

THE CHOSEN ONE

 

DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU FIND HER

 

TURN OVER EVERY STONE

 

ALL THAT YOU KNOW

 

SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU

 

SHE'S THE LAUGHTER

 

YOU HEAR IN THE HALL

 

THE AW WHEN YOU FALL

 

SHOW YOUR HEART AT ALL

 

 

THE MISTY SKY

 

 THAT MARKS THE MORNING 

 

BURNED OFF BY THE SUN

 

TO REVEAL THE BEAUTIFUL ONE

 

SHE STANDS THERE IN THE LIGHT

 

AND YOU DON'T KNOW

 

 WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY 

 

IT WAS ALL PLANNED

 

AND NOW ITS ALL GONE AWAY

 

WHEN YOU'LL GET IT BACK

 

WHO'S TO SAY

 

 

 

SHE WALKS BY YOU AND SMILES

 

THEN SHE TURNS,  A SECOND LOOK

 

WHAT IS THAT, THAT SHE TOOK

 

I THINK SHE KNOWS

 

THERE'S SOMETHING AND SOMEONE

 

IN THIS TIME, IN THIS DAY

 

THE FEELINGS GETTING STRONGER

 

SHE CAN'T RUN AWAY

 

KEEP IT REAL

 

TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL

 

THAT YOU DIG

 

THE WAY SHE SHINES 

BETWEEN THE STARS

 

BETWEEN THE STARS

THE CHOICES WERE MANY 

 

THE CHOSEN FEW

 

CHASING AFTER DREAMS

 

BENEATH THE BLUE OF SUMMER SKIES

 

MY EYES FOLLOWED BEAUTY  RIGHT TO YOU

 

SEEN THAT I COULDN'T JUST PASS YOU BY

 

FOUND A REASON TO MEET YOU

 

HOPED YOU WOULD COMPLY

 

 

 

FLOWERS BLOOMED AND FILLED THE AIR

 

SO THAT LOVE WOULDN'T BE DENIED

 

LEAVE US BEHIND

 

TAKE OUT ALL THE STOPS TO LET IT FLOW

 

THE COLORS BLEND

 

LEND TO A MESSAGE I TRY TO SEND TO YOU

 

LOOK ON HIGH BETWEEN THE STARS

 

 

 WHEREVER YOU ARE

 

IS WHERE I WANNA BE

 

I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS FEELING

 

THAT'S COME OVER ME

 

IS IT SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL

 

TOUCH AND BEGIN TO HEAL

 

TAKE YOUR TIME I'M RIGHT HERE

 

TO LEAN ON OR STEER YOU STRAIGHT 

 

INTO THIS LOVE TONIGHT

 

I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU GO

 

TRYING TO LIVE A LIFETIME IN ONE NIGHT

 

JUST TO FEEL WHAT ITS LIKE

 

 

 

I'VE GOT TO SAY

 

WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

 

I CAN SEE A NEED A PAUSE A WONDER

 

IS THIS HOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE

 

THE NEAREST ANSWER I CAN GIVE YOU

 

IS THAT IT WILL BE

EXACTLY AS WE ARE

LOOK ON HIGH BETWEEN THE STARS

WHEREVER YOU ARE

IS WHERE I WANNA BE

I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS FEELING

THAT'S COME OVER ME

IS IT SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL

 

TOUCH AND BEGIN TO HEAL

 

 

WHEN THE DYING LIGHT

TWILIGHT SWEEPS THROUGH

 

THE MOON GREETS US ON THE VALE

 

I CAN'T STOP SMILING

 

BECAUSE I CAN TELL

 

YOU FEEL JUST LIKE I DO INSIDE

 

YOU CAN FINALLY SEE

 

HOW DEEP IT CAN GO

 

HOW NICE IT CAN BE

 

GENTLE AS A SUMMER BREEZE 

SUBTLE AS THE WATER LAPS THE SHORE

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE

BASK IN GOLDEN LIGHT

OWN IT WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT

WHEN THE DYING LIGHT

STRIKES THE SKY

ITS ALL YOURS, ITS ALL MINE

SEE ALL THE STARS FOR A SIGN

TELL US WHICH WAY TO GO

THE ONLY WAY

WE'LL EVER GET TO KNOW

IS TO TRY

HOLDING ON TO FOREVER

HOW IT CAN'T BE ALL THE SAME

ITS ALWAYS SUN AND RAIN

THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN

BITTERSWEET

I KNOW WITHOUT YOUR LOVE

MY LIFE  IS NOT COMPLETE

LIKE THE STARS THAT CAN'T SHINE

THROUGH THE CLOUDS

LIKE THE FLOWERS

THAT COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE RAIN

IF WE SEE THE END

I WILL LOVE YOU

ALL OVER AGAIN

AND EVERYDAY WITH YOU

WILL COME TO BE

A BLESSED SANCTUARY 

A REFUGE FROM THE STORMS AROUND US

WHEN THE DYING LIGHT

STRIKES THE SKY

ITS ALL YOURS, ITS ALL MINE

I FOLLOW THE PATH TO FIND THE TIME

 

TO BE SOMETHING MORE

 

I'M A LOT NOW BUT THERE'S ALWAYS  MORE TO BE

 

YOU KNOW I AM I WILL I'M FREE 

 

I'M DOING MY BEST BUT ITS A MESS

 

TO SHED A LITTLE LIGHT

 

I'D BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU

 

SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT

 

KEEP LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD 

 

YOU'RE ALREADY GONE

 

NOT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

 

BUT WHERE YOU BELONG

 

 

 

GAVE AWAY YOUR HEART TO ME

 

I WAS LOST

 

A LITTLE SHELL SHOCKED AND BLANK

 

ONLY MY ENDLESS CURIOSITY TO THANK

 

EVERYTHING LEFT OF MY SOUL

 

I GAVE TO YOU

 

YOU AND I HAVE ONLY GOT ONE CHANCE

 

TO TOUCH THE SUN

 

TO BECOME ONE SONG

 

ONE LOVE TO SUCCEED 

 

SOMEONE THERE TO BELIEVE IN YOU 

 

NEVER A CHANCE TO FROWN

 

THE MORE I SEE YOU

 

THE MORE I WANT YOU AROUND

 

NOT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN 

 

BUT WHERE YOU BELONG

 

 

IF I TOLD YOU HOW CLOSE WE COULD BE

 

ON THIS PATH THROUGH THESE TIMES

 

THE HISTORY WE COULD LEAVE BEHIND

 

INSTEAD OF SMOKE AND FIRE

 

THE ROCK AND THE RAIN

 

AND YOU AND I REMAIN

 

IF ITS ALL THE SAME

 

ITS NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE

 

IF WE WORK SIDE BY SIDE

 

SEE EYE TO EYE

 

NEVER COME THE NEED

 

TO SAY GOODBYE
