AND THEN I WONDER WHY

SITTING THERE AT SUNDOWN

 

OUT ON THE PORCH

 

THE RED ORANGE GLOW

 

IN THE SKY

 

LIKE A BURNING TORCH

 

AND INSIDE THAT GLOW

 

MY RESTLESS SOUL

 

REACHING OUT TO DREAMS

 

THAT WON'T LET GO

 

SO WHERE DO THEY GO 

 

COME THE NIGHT 

 

THE SKIES ALIGHT WITH STARS

 

I SEE THEM FALLING

 

AND THEN I WONDER WHY

 

DOES ANYBODY EVER CRY

 

DON'T HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT

 

ITS TIME TO GO

 

BEFORE THOSE DREAMS GET LOST

 

ON A WILD WIND

 

SO LONG UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

 

 

I REMEMBER YOU WEREN'T AROUND

 

GUESS YOU GAVE UP ON ME

 

YOU COULDN'T BE FOUND

 

SEPARATE OUR HEARTS

 

LIKE THE SUN GOING UP AND DOWN

 

LIKE THE DARK PUSHING THE LIGHT

 

SOMEHOW IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT

 

SO THERE IT IS I'LL GO ALONE

 

THROUGH MISTY FIELDS

 

KISSED BY MOONLIGHT

 

ITS GONNA TAKE SOME TIME

 

TO GET THIS RIGHT

 

GET ME TO BELIEVE

 

IN MYSELF AGAIN 

 

EMBRACE THE ANCIENT WAYS

 

TAP THE MAGIC TRIED AND TRUE

 

IN MY SILENCE I CAN SEE

 

THE ROAD THAT I NEED

 

I DON'T DESERVE TO LOSE

 

I HAVE TO SUCCEED

 

DANCE RIGHT THROUGH THE RAIN.

 

 

 

THE ONLY SHOW

 

THE ONLY SHOW

TAKE ME TO THE PLACE YOU THINK

 

I SHOULD KNOW

 

IF I GET TOO RECKLESS 

 

TELL ME SLOW

 

BUT THERE COMES A POINT

 

WHERE YOU CAN'T HIDE

 

KEEP ALL THOSE FEELINGS INSIDE

 

YOU NEED SOMEONE

 

A REASON

 

I SEE YOUR HEART THERE WAITING

 

HOW HAPPY COULD I BE 

 

IF ITS FOR ME

 

 

DON'T STOP

 

YOU STILL DON'T KNOW ME

 

 TIME TO LEARN

 

TIME TO GO

 

TIME TO LOVE

 

THIS IS IT

 

THE ONLY SHOW

 

NO WAITING TO BEGIN

 

PAST THE MIDDLE 

NEAR THE END

I COULD USE A LITTLE MAGIC

TO MAKE TIME BEND

YOU CAN PROVIDE IT

I'LL GET YOU TO SEND

ALL OF YOUR LOVE TO ME

SAY YOU WILL

 

 SAY YOU WON'T

LEAVE ME STANDING HERE ALONE

WITHOUT YOU

HANGING ON FOR NOTHING

WAITING IN VAIN

FOR A LOVE THAT WILL NEVER BE

I WAITED SO LONG

TO HAVE YOU BY MY SIDE

I MADE IT EASY FOR YOU

TO STEAL MY HEART

THE HEAVEN I FEEL

WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER

DISAPPEARS WHEN WE'RE APART

LOVE STILL THERE

HANGING IN THE AIR

SHINING LIKE THE STARS

SILENTLY  WAITING

CHARGED BY THE MOON

I HOPE THAT SOON

YOU'LL FILL THIS VOID

DON'T STOP

YOU STILL DON'T KNOW ME

TIME TO LEARN

TIME TO GO

TIME TO LOVE

THIS IS IT

THE ONLY SHOW

NO WAITING TO BEGIN

PAST THE MIDDLE

 

 NEAR THE END

NOW THE SUN HAS GONE AWAY

 

PRECIOUS END OF A SUMMER DAY

 

SIT BENEATH THE STARS

 

DIG A LITTLE DEEPER

 

RIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL 

 

FALL INTO YOUR BLUE EYES 

 

NEVER LET YOU GO

 

UNTIL YOU REALIZE

 

THERE'S ONLY ME

 

ONLY YOU I'M SURE

 

SO HERE WE GO

 

START TO END

 

ALL THE WAY

 

SOMETHING WE STARTED

 

WOULD YOU SAY

 

 

THE STARLIGHT

 

THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES

 

THE WORDS FROM YOUR HEART 

 

EACH ONE SO DEAR

 

ALL I CAN DO IS PULL YOU CLOSER

 

HOPE TIME ERASES ALL YOUR FEARS 

 

GETS US THROUGH 

 

THESE TRYING YEARS 

 

 

KISSED BY THE MOON

 

IN MISTY STARLIGHT

 

UNTIL DAWN BRINGS THE SUN

 

I WANT TO SEE IT SHINE ON YOU

 

TAKE YOU TO

 

THE MAGIC THAT YOU DESERVE

 

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

 

ANYTHING I CAN DO

 

TAKE YOU TO THE PLACES

 

YOU WANT TO BE

 

 

 

I'LL BE THE ONE

 

YOUR HEART HOLDS DEAR

 

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR

 

I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THAT I CAN GIVE

 

FORGET THE PAST

 

JUST LIVE FOR TODAY

 

ONE SUNRISE AT A TIME

 

YOU AND I

 

WILL SEE IT SHINE

 

NEVER LET OUR LOVE SLIP AWAY

 

SOMETHING THAT WE STARTED

 

WOULD YOU SAY 
 

GOLDEN DAYS

YEARS SLIPPING AWAY SO FAST

 

A LITTLE BLURRY BUT I CAN STILL

 

SEE THEM GOING PAST

 

LIKE SOME KIND OF SIGN

 

I'M NOT SURE THAT I WANT TO SEE

 

TIME IS TIED TO GRAVITY

 

 

I'VE GOT LOOSE ENDS  THAT I CAN'T FIND

 

I USED TO THINK I HAD

 

NOTHING BUT TIME

 

BUT IT MOVED SO SLOWLY

 

SOMETIMES A CRAWL

 

SOMETIMES I SWEAR

 

IT NEVER MOVED AT ALL

 

 

STEPPED OFF THE TRAIN

 

STOOD THERE IN THE RAIN

 

FELT IT

 

SEEPING INTO MY SOUL

 

SILENCE DEEP AS DARKNESS

 

I MOVE TOWARDS THE LIGHT

 

I THINK ABOUT THE THINGS

 

I WANT TO DO

 

AS SOON AS I CAN

 

AS TIME ALLOWS

 

MUCH TO DO

 

MUCH TO SEE

 

MOST OF ALL TO FEEL

 

LOVE INSIDE

 

THE RAYS OF THE SUN

 

GOLDEN DAYS

 

 THAT GO ON FOREVER

 

PUT IT THIS WAY

 

BRING IT TO ME

 

LOVE THAT COMES

 

AND WANTS TO STAY

 

WHO WOULDN'T

 

  WANT IT LIKE THAT  

 

 

RIGHT AS RAIN

 

THERE'S NO ONE ELSE 

 

THAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY

 

A WISH A DREAM

 

ON THE WINGS OF TIME

 

THE MAGIC THAT KEEPS IT ALL ALIVE

 

NEVER LEAVES MY HEART

 

NEVER LEAVES MY SIDE

 

THE DAYS GO BY

 

ALL WE CAN DO IS TRY

 

TO ALWAYS MAKE IT MORE

 

EVERYTHING IT COULD BE

 

 

WHAT'S A LITTLE HEAVEN

 

 

WHAT'S A LITTLE HEAVEN

 

WRITTEN BY

2021

 

I FOLLOWED MY HEART

 

JUST TO SEE WHERE IT LEAD

 

NOW HERE I AM

 

BACK HERE INSTEAD

 

I SET IT DOWN

 

SAID GOODBYE

 

GOT ON MY HIGH HORSE

 

AND FLEW AWAY

 

THERE'S ONLY SO MANY

 

 SOFT PLACES TO LAND

 

SEEMS I NEVER FOUND A ONE

 

 

MILES BEHIND ME

 

THE SHINES OFF THE BELL

 

WHAT'S A LITTLE HEAVEN

 

WITHOUT A BIT OF HELL

 

A LITTLE BENT AND BROKEN

 

I KNOW ITS A LITTLE LATE BUT

 

WISDOM'S FINALLY SPOKEN 

WHAT LASTS FOREVER

NOTHING I KNOW

WHO LEAVES TO WHERE

AND ALL THE TIMES I THOUGHT

IT WAS THE BITTER END

JUST TO WALK  OUT OF THE FIRE

STILL DESIRE DRIVEN

BENT AND BOUND 

 

TO SOMETHING GOOD

JUST BECAUSE IT CAN

DOESN'T MEAN IT SHOULD

FOLLOW THE STARLIGHT

THROUGH THE MILKY WAY

OR STAY RIGHT WHERE I LAND

ALL I KNOW IS WHO I AM

AM I EXPECTED

SHORT LISTED SELECTED

MANY TIMES OVER

I WALKED ALL THE FINE LINES

WHERE OTHERS FEARED TO TREAD

A MORTAL I BLED

DON'T YOU FADE

 

TAKING IN THE SUN

 

LAYING BACK WATCHING

 

ALL THE COLOURS RUN 

 

THE SINKING SUN

 

REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES 

 

THE CHANCE YOU TAKE

 

THERE'S NO TURNING BACK

 

WHEN ITS TOO LATE

 

 

THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT

 

FINDS YOU BY MY SIDE

 

TAKING IT, MAKING IT

 

SOMETHING SWEET OF YOUR OWN

 

LAID OUT LIKE THE STARS

 

SHINING BACK TO YOU 

 

IF YOU TELL ME JUST ONE THING

 

I HOPE THAT IT'S TRUE 

 

 

YOU LET ME IN

 

SO THAT WE BEGIN

 

A STORY JUST A LITTLE BETTER

 

BECAUSE YOU'RE IN IT WITH ME

 

SO MUCH EASIER TO SEE

 

ALL THAT THIS COULD BE

 

 

WITH DARKNESS DONE

 

LEAVE US IN THE LIGHT

 

TO MAP THE WAY FROM HERE

 

WATCH THE RESISTANCE DISAPPEAR

 

ITS NOT HARD TO FALL

 

IN LOVE WITH YOU

 

WE WATCHED THE DAYS CHANGE

 

NIGHTS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME

 

ANOTHER WORLD TO SEE

 

FLOATING FLYING

 

AWAY WITH ME

 

 

THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT

 

FINDS YOU AT MY SIDE

 

THE IRONY, THE RECKONING 

 

THE HARMONY

 

I THOUGHT WAS FOREVER LOST

 

DON'T YOU FADE AWAY

 

LIKE A MOONLESS NIGHT

 

STAY WITH ME

 

REMAIN THE LIGHT

SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID

 

SOMETHING THAT YOU DID

 

THE WAY YOU LOOKED THAT NIGHT

 

TOOK YOU SO FAR

 

IN MY ESTIMATION

 

OF HOW FAR HEAVEN IS FROM EARTH

 

THE WHOLE OF THE WORTH

 

IS ALL IT CAN BE

 

 

WHAT COULD I DO

 

BUT EMBRACE YOUR SWEET LOVE

 

LET YOU BE ALL I NEED

 

BE EVERYTHING

 

ALL THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU 

 

ALL THESE FEELINGS

 

SWIRLING AROUND INSIDE MY HEART

 

IT'S YOU THAT SET THEM FREE

 

YOU THAT MADE ME BELIEVE AGAIN

 

 

STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO THE LIGHT

 

NO APPREHENSION NO FIGHT

 

INSIDE YOUR HEART

 

WHERE I WANT TO BE

 

SO PLEASE TELL ME

 

IT'S THE SAME FOR YOU

 

SO I CAN STAND UP

 

 ON THIS CLOUD WITH YOU 

 

LET THE SUN COME IN OUR WAY

 

SEE HOW MUCH TOGETHERNESS

 

WE CAN FIT INTO EACH DAY 

 

 

A SMILE THAT KILLS

 

PROBABLY WILL

 

SOMETHING YOU SAID

 

SOMETHING YOU DID

 

WHAT YOU ARE TO ME

 

THE SKY IS TO THE STARS

 

SO YOU SHINE TO ME FROM WITHIN

 

YOU SET IT UP JUST RIGHT

 

SOMETHING THAT I FEEL

 

FOUND IT'S WAY INTO YOUR HEART

 

I'LL SEE YOU FINISH

 

RIGHT FROM THE START
