ITS NOT HARD TO SEE

 

SOMETHINGS MISSING SOMETHINGS GONE

 

NOTHING MORE TO HANG ON TO

 

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG

 

THE LOVE I THOUGHT

 

WAS GONNA SAVE ME

 

TURNED AROUND

 

AS I STOOD THERE IN SHADOWS

 

GROWING EVER LONG

 

HIDDEN FROM THE LIGHT

 

ITS HARD TO SHINE

 

WATCH THE LINES

 

BLUR AND FADE

 

DIVISIONS I CAN'T EXPLAIN 

 

 

DID YOUR WISH COME TRUE

 

NOT THE ONE WE HAD ME AND YOU

 

FIND A CLOUD WHERE I CAN HIDE

 

ALL ALONE

 

LOST INSIDE MY THOUGHTS

 

STARS STRUNG OUT ENDLESS

 

WHY NOT US YOU AND I

 

DESTINATION BECOMING CLEAR

 

 I SENSE THE END IS NEAR

 

 

HEAD HUNG LOW

 

NOWHERE TO GO

 

I KNOW FOR SURE

 

ALL THESE THINGS THAT I COULD BE

 

YOU ONLY SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE

 

TWICE AS GOOD IN GOOD STEAD

 

YOU STOOD AND WATCHED

 

 WHILE KARMA BLED

 

THE THINGS WE SHOULD OF LEARNED

 

ALONG THE WAY

 

SURE HIT HOME TODAY

 

 

WHEN I'M FARAWAY REMOVED

 

ANGELS JUST OUT OF REACH

 

GAINING A LITTLE GROUND

 

QUIET NOT A SOUND 


MY MINDS A RAGING SEA


WAITING FOR THE CALM


I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG

SUMMER SUNLIGHT GLOWS

 

IN YOUR GARDEN

 

SEES YOU CAUGHT IN MY EMBRACE

 

HOLD ONTO YOUR KISS

 

SAVOR THE TASTE

 

SWEET LIKE DROPS OF RAIN 

 

FALLING FROM THE ROSE

 

TAKE IT ALL BEFORE IT GOES

 

TAKE MY LIFE AND

 

MAKE IT MATTER MORE

 

TURN YOUR LOVE UPSIDE DOWN

 

LET IT POUR OVER ME 

 

PAINT ME WITH YOUR SERENITY

 

SWEAR I'LL BE THE ONE YOU NEED

 

FLY WITH YOU ON GENTLE WINDS

 

MEET YOU ON EVEN GROUND

 

chorus

 

YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED

 

MOVED CLOSER TO ME

 

COME ALL THE WAY

 

ITS TIME THAT YOU AND I BOTH SEE

 

OUR WAY CLEAR TO

 

THE PIECES OF HEAVEN WE HAVE HERE

 

I WILL SEE THE SUN

 

RIGHT THROUGH THE RAIN

 

HOLD YOU FROM HARM MY LOVE

 

TAKE THE LONGEST WAY

 

JUST TO BE WITH YOU

 

 

IN MY HEART,  IN MY HEAD

 

HALFWAY THERE 


HERE INSTEAD


HEAR THE GLASS CHIMES


MAKING MUSIC IN THE BREEZE


COOL NIGHT LOOK AT ALL THE STARS


I COULD STAY HERE 

 

FOR HOURS WITH YOU

 

BUT HEY ISN'T IT TIME TO GO

 

TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME

 

KEEP YOU CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE

 

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

 

FALL INTO PLACE

 

WITH YOU BY MY SIDE

 

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY

 

WHERE ALL THE ANSWERS SEEM TO LIE

REMEMBER WHEN

 

 IT WAS ALL SO EASY

 

OUR PROBLEMS WERE FEW

 

REMEMBER IT SEEMED

 

THERE WAS SO MUCH 

 

TO LOOK FORWARD TO 

 

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LUCKY WE WERE

 

OH A LIFE CAN TAKE

 

SO MANY TURNS

 

KEEP YOU IN A PLACE

 

OR TAKE YOU FARAWAY 

 

THE TRUTH LIES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

 

THE BEGINNING AND THE END

 

EVERYTHING ON THE LINE

 

YOU WIN YOU LOSE SOMETIMES

 

 

DARKNESS SWAYS TO LIGHT

 

TO DREAMS IN FLIGHT

 

YOU TOSS YOU TURN

 

YOU SHINE YOU BURN

 

LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL SUN

 

ENOUGH TO BE

 

ENOUGH TO SEE

 

YOU KEEP ON GOING

 

YOU CAN'T STOP LIFE

 

FROM SHOWING UP FOR YOU

 

STAND LONG AS MAY YOU

 

ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO

 

AND AS YOU SEE THE TOP

 

ITS A LONG DROP

 

YOU KNOW BY NOW

 

ALL IT TAKES EVERYTHING 



TIME IS SWEET


BLOWING ON THE WINDS


REMINDS YOU WHAT WAS THERE


WHAT WAS AND YOU KNOW YOU


CAN'T GO BACK THERE


A TIME  FAR REMOVED


YOU CAN SHARE


DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN


TIME WAS RIGID WOULD NOT BEND


THEN ONE DAY 

 

IT CLOSED AROUND YOU


YOU COULD FEEL IT END


THAT MOMENT TOOK YOU CLOSER THAN


YOU'VE EVER BEEN


YOUR FREE BUT YOU'RE NOT REALLY FREE

 

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT HAS TO BE

 

YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT

 

BUT YOU JUST DON'T KNOW

 

YOU CAN'T LET GO

 

ALL THE DARKNESS SWAYS TO LIGHT

GOLDEN SUMMER ALL OF SOMETHING

 


GOLDEN SUMMER

 ALL OF SOMETHING 

 

WRITTTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2021

 

IT WAS THE SUMMER OF DREAMS

 

THE LOVE I FOUND

 

WAS ALL AND EVERYTHING

 

I REMEMBER SO MUCH THAT WAS

 

BUT  MAYBE COULDN'T BE

 

GUESS I SHOULD OF SEEN

 

ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO YOU

 

SOMEWHERE LOST IN CHAINS

 

THE DERISION THE SHAME

 

I BROUGHT ON MYSELF

 

LEFT ME ALONE

 

A FOOL TO LET YOU GO

 

 

 

LOOKING BACK I JUST DON'T KNOW

 

WHERE IT WAS WE WERE GOING

 

BUT I FELT THE WEIGHT WHEN YOU WERE GONE

 

I THINK I REMEMBER I WISHED YOU WELL

 

IF YOU CRYING I COULDN'T TELL

 

WOULD YOU REMEMBER LIKE ME

 

WE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD BE

 

ALL OF SOMETHING WE NEEDED

 

 

 

NEVER STOPPED TO THINK

 

YOU WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE 


NEAR ME


BUT YOU KEPT ON COMING


BRINGING ALL YOUR LOVE


JUST FOR ME


WASTED A TRAGEDY


FOR YOU AND I


I THINK THAT YOU

 

 WOULD NOT LEAVE MY MIND


THE HEART YOU TOOK WAS ONLY MINE


MY FIRST LOVE


AND ONLY YOU COULD SAY


YOU STILL THINK OF ME


IN THE NICEST WAY


MY HEART STILL HOLDS A LITTLE SWAY



NOW JUST A MEMORY THAT NEVER FADES


THE GHOSTS OF OUR LOVE


IN GOLDEN SUMMER SHADES


LOST SOMEWHERE IN OUR TIME


ALL OF SOMETHING


YOURS AND MINE


ALL THE STARS WE COULD FIND


ONLY ENOUGH TO REMIND


THAT OUR LOVE COULD NEVER BE

CHANGES OH I DON'T KNOW

 

EVERYTHING IS TURNING

 

THE WAY AHEAD SEEMS SO CLEAR

 

BUT I'D RATHER

 

TAKE MY CHANCES

 

STAY HERE WITH YOU

 

YOU WERE HERE

 

SAW THE TEAR IN MY HEART

 

MY BELIEFS SHATTERED

 

EVERYTHING GONE

 

THAT I THOUGHT MATTERED

 

SHADOWS THERE I CAN'T EXPLAIN

 

 

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS

 

I'VE BEEN CARRYING ALL ALONG

 

THE STRENGTH IT TAKES TO SEE THEM

 

SEPARATES THE WEAK FROM THE STRONG

 

WHEN THE DAY CAME ALONG

 

YOU THERE DRIFTING

 

IN AND OUT OF THE SUN

 

WAITING FOR SOMEONE

 

TO SHOW YOU LOVE

 

 

YOUR EMPTY LIFE WOULD FILL

 

AND IN TIME

 

I WILL LOVE  YOU STILL

 

TAKE YOU AS YOU COME

 

HOPE YOUR NEVER GONE

 

A SUNRISE I HOPE I NEVER SEE

 

CHANGES I KNOW EXACTLY

 

 HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT 

 

I'VE BEEN RIDING CHANGES FOR SO LONG

 

LOAD IT UP

 

I WON'T BE LONG

 

 

YOU AND I

 

STRONGER AS WE GO

 

THOUGHT YOU WOULD SEE

 

YOU WOULD KNOW

 

BE THE SUNLIGHT IN MY GARDEN

 

BE THE LOVE IN I LOVE YOU SO

 

WHEN I FEEL 

 

WHEN I FEEL YOU'RE THERE

 

YOU TURN TO ME

 

AWAY FROM THE EVENINGS GLOW
