WHEN WE ARE

 


WHEN WE ARE

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2021

 

I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

 

ALWAYS BLACK AND WHITE IT SEEMS

 

NEVER COULD IT TAKE AWAY FROM YOU

 

EXQUISITE ON YOUR OWN 

 

YOU TAKE A STEP TOWARDS ME

 

I REACH OUT AS YOU NEAR

 

THE MOON IS FULL AND GLOWS

 

 

TIME JUST STOPS WHERE WE ARE

 

WHEN WE ARE

 

YOU AND I TOGETHER

 

SIDE BY SIDE

 

YOU COULD SAY

 

TRUTH NEVER LIES

 

LOOKING INSIDE I SEE

 

THE FIRE YOU BRING TO THIS

 

ADD TO THE LIGHT OF THE MOMENT

 

YOU SHINE AWAY TO ME 


YOUR SACRED LOVE


COMES TO ME ALL AT ONCE


LAYS AT MY FEET


REACHES FOR MY HEART


YOU MAKE IT FLY


SOARING EVER CLOSER TO THE SUN



NEVER ALONE


WITHOUT YOU


WITH ALL OF THIS LOVE


IT JUST SEEMS SO NICE


I TELL YOU TWICE


BECAUSE ONE AND ONE IS TWO


RIGHT BESIDE YOU


WHAT ELSE CAN I DO, DEAR


STAY WON'T YOU PLAY


RIGHT HERE BENEATH THE MOON



ASK TO FEEL


OH SO REAL


I REACH OUT FOR YOU


TIME JUST STOPS WHERE WE ARE


WHEN WE ARE


YOU AND I TOGETHER


BURNING THE NIGHT


I ALWAYS SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS


BURNING THE NIGHT

AURORA

 

AURORA

COULD IT BE YOU THAT SAVED ME 

 

PULLED ME FROM THE LINE

 

YOU LED THE WAY

 

TO A PLACE I'D NEVER SEEN

 

I FOLLOWED ALONG I WAS KEEN 

 

AURORA I ADORE YOU

 

I FALL AT YOUR FEET

 

AS STARS DANCE ABOVE YOUR HEAD

 

SEE A DAY WE CAN CALL OUR OWN

 

TOUCHED YOU AS YOU 

 

WERE MADE OF GLASS 

 

 

STOOD BY YOU AS YOU DID I

 

AS WE SAW TIME MARCH PAST

 

NEVER GAVE UP HOPE

 

NEVER GAVE UP TRYING

 

AURORA I STILL NEED TO

 

HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME

 

I FIND YOU FACE TO THE STARS

 

STILL WAITING TO FIND A SIGN 


THAT WE MUST BE CLOSE


ALL THE WAY YOU SHINE ONTO ME


AURORA LET ME SET A COURSE


WE CAN SAIL ACROSS THE UNIVERSE


JUST YOU AND I


WE'RE BOUND TO FIND OUR WAY




WE COULD TRY


THE HEAVENS TO GUIDE US BY NIGHT


FOLLOW THE SUN BY DAY


AURORA YOU DANCE YOU SHINE

 

I THINK YOU'LL FIND WE FOUND A PLACE

 

UN TAKEN SPACE 


DON'T LET GO DON'T TURN YOUR HEAD


MAKE THIS ALL OURS INSTEAD

SIFTING SILENCE


 SIFTING SILENCE


WRITTEN BY


JEFF R HILTON


2021


I FEEL SUMMER TURNING AWAY

 

A WALK TO A RUN

 

TAKING THE SUN

 

I UNDERSTAND ITS LEAVING

 

THE COLD WINDS TO BLOW

 

THE NIGHTS ARE GETTING LONGER

 

THE LEAVES ALL AFLAME

 

A SHADE OF SADNESS

 

SWEETEST DAYS ALL GONE

 

LEAVING JUST THE WONDER

 

OF WHAT'S TO COME

 

 

THE SKIES ARE TURNING SHADES OF GRAY

 

HUNTER TO A HARVEST MOON

 

THE GHOSTS OF SUMMER

 

STEAL ACROSS THE MISTY VALE

 

BLACK CROW SITTING ON A BALE

 

EVERYONE'S UNDER A SPELL 

 

I CAN ALWAYS TELL

 

 CHORUS

 

SIFTING SILENCE

 

WEIGHING WORDS

 

THAT DESCRIBE THESE FEELINGS

 

I HAVE INSIDE

 

SOMETHINGS FINISHED ITS DONE

 

IT WON'T BE AGAIN

 

HOPE YOUR MEMORIES

 

 ARE FULL OF SMILES YOU CAN TURN TO

 

IN THE TIME BETWEEN

 

 

DID YOU LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND

 

WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY

 

UNTIL IT WAS GONE

 

THE BURNING SUN

 

THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS

 

THE ENDLESS STARS FALL AWAY

 

AND ALL I KNOW IS

 

WHEN SUMMER FINALLY CREEPS AWAY

 

PART OF ME STILL WANTS TO STAY

 

IN SOME SUNSET

 

I CHANCED TO SEE

 

NOW THERE'S ONLY SKIES OF GRAY

 

AND MYSTERY

 

EMPTY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

 

THERE'S NO ONE AROUND

 

SIFTING SILENCE

 

WEIGHING WORDS

DOWN ON THE SQUARE

 


DOWN ON THE SQUARE

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2021

 

I REMEMBER DAYS LIKE THIS

 

SAT THERE IN THE SUNS SOFT KISS

 

WATCHING AND WAITING TO SEE

 

IF LOVES COMES LOOKING TO FIND ME

 

PUSH MY DARKNESS  ASIDE 

 

I CAN SEE HER STEPPING INTO THE LIGHT

 

BY MY SIDE INTO MY LIFE 

 

WE''LL FIND A WAY  NOT TO END THE NIGHT

 

JUST FORGET TIME

 

TAKE THIS HEART OF MINE

 

INTO YOUR LOVE

 

 

LET ME IN WHERE WE BEGIN

 

TO MAKE ALL THIS SO BEAUTIFUL 

 

SO MUCH SO WE NEVER SAY GOODBYE

 

LOSING TIME TO DREAMING

 

THE SUN IS GOING DOWN

 

ON THE SQUARE

 

AND STILL THERE'S NO SIGN OF YOU 


NO IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WON'T BE HERE TODAY

 

HOPE BEGINS TO FADE AWAY

 

I KNOW THAT YOUR JUST NOT LATE

 

I KNOW IT BUT I STILL WAIT FOR YOU

 

 

MY OWN WAY MY OWN TIME

 

SOMETIMES I GET LEFT BEHIND

 

ALL THESE PICTURES IN MY MIND 


THERE'S JUST ONE I NEED TO FIND THERE


OF YOU AND I

 

I REMEMBER DAYS LIKE THIS

 

SAT THERE IN THE SUNS SOFT KISS

 

WATCHING AND WAITING TO SEE

 

IF LOVE COMES LOOKING FOR ME

ANOTHER DAY

 


ANOTHER DAY

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2021

 

I'VE TRIED TO CHANGE SO MANY TIMES

 

I'M NOT SURE WHERE IT BEGAN

 

NOT SURE WHERE IT ENDS

 

BETTER THAN I WAS YESTERDAY

 

BUT I'M STILL THE SAME OLD ME

 

CASTING DOUBTS LIKE STONES

 

IN THE SEA OF MISERY

 

SINKING WITH THEM JUST

 

TO HOLD MYSELF DOWN 

 

I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED IT

 

BUT GIVE ME MORE

 

 TIME TO COME AROUND 

 

A FINE LINE ON THE EDGE

 

A NEW CHANCE EACH DAY

 

A LIGHT I SEE BUT AS I REACH 

 

I GET DISTRACTED AND

 

LOOK THE OTHER WAY

 

 

I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND

 

OF SOMETHING SO THE SAME

 

I JUST CAN'T PLAY THAT GAME

 

TOO MANY NIGHTS

 

 THAT CLOSED AROUND ME

 

TRIED TO DROWN ME 

 

STEAL MY SOUL

 

I MIGHT HAVE DUG MY OWN MISERY

 

NOT SURE WHY  THAT WOULD BE

 

BUT THERE IT IS

 

THE THINGS I NEVER CAME TO SEE

 

ARE BEST FORGOTTEN 

 

IT SOUNDS SO COMPLETE 

 

BUT I'M NOT HOLDING OUT ANYMORE

 

FOR WHAT I CANNOT REACH

 

 

BETTER STICK TO WHAT IS REAL

 

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE

 

TO HOW I FEEL

 

I'VE BEEN HIDDEN

 

I'VE BEEN FOUND

 

I'VE BEEN ALONE AND TWO

 

I'VE BEEN HAPPY I'VE BEEN BLUE

 

BUT NO MATER WHICH WAY I TURN

 

I KEEP ON GETTING BURNED

 

I KEEP TO MYSELF TURN AWAY

 

ITS JUST ANOTHER DAY

 

ANOTHER NIGHT OF RELATIVE OBSCURITY

REACH

 


REACH

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2021

 

REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING

 

HOLDING OUT FOR YOU

 

I'M RIGHT HERE WAITING

 

LIKE I KNOW YOU'D WANT ME TO 

 

WHEN YOUR DOWN

 

I WILL BE

 

THE CALMING SEA

 

THE WARMTH OF THE SUN 

 

ON YOUR SKIN 

 

THE GENTLE KISS OF THE RAIN

 

 WEARING YOU DOWN 

 

LIFTING YOU UP AGAIN

 

 

THE MUSIC WE STARTED

 

STILL WANTS TO PLAY

 

KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED

 

AND IT CARRIED IT AWAY

 

A TASTE OF JOY WHEN

 

THERE WAS NONE TODAY

 

 I DON'T THINK THERE'S

 

 TIME TO WASTE

 

BEFORE THIS DISAPPEARS 

 

BETTER BUT THE SAME OLD ME

 

AND WHEN YOU COME AROUND

 

ALL MISERY IS GONE

 

JUST FALLS AWAY

 

THE SUN GETS PUT BACK IN THE DAY

 

MY FROWN FADES INTO A SMILE

 

REACH OUT

 

DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY

 

IF ALL TODAY  BRINGS IS  YOU

 

THAT'S ALL THAT I WANTED

 

SEE IT TURN TO SOMETHING

 

GOOD WITH YOU

 

SO WHY DON'T YOU

 

REACH OUT FOR ME AGAIN

 

DON'T THINK TWICE

 

LET IT FALL ON ME

 

MAKE IT SO NICE

 

THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE

 

BEFORE THIS DISAPPEARS

 

REACH OUT BEYOND YOUR FEARS

 

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY
