PRECIOUS


 

 PRECIOUS

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

TIMES COME

TIMES GO

SOMETIMES FAST

OTHERS

WAY TOO SLOW

ONE DAY

YOU TURN THAT CORNER

AND YOU JUST KNOW

HOW IT ONLY FLIES

THOSE ROADS ARE

SO FAR BEHIND YOU NOW

ITS ALL STRAIGHT AHEAD

DARKNESS SHOWING

STREAKS OF RED

chorus

AND THERE YOU WERE

IN MY WILDEST DREAMS

NO WONDER

 YOU TOOK SO LONG

THAT KIND OF LOVE

IS STRONG 

IT COMES WITH A MAGIC

YOU CAN ONLY TRY

TO UNDERSTAND 

THEN AGAIN

WHEN I CAN

I PRAY

NO HEARTBEAT LOST

STAYS WITH ME

AT ALL COSTS

PRECIOUS IS

 THE TIME WITH YOU 

 MY HEART WAS NEVER

TO BE THE SAME AGAIN

 

NOW TIMES TOO FAST

IT TRIES TO PASS US BY

A DARKENED SKY

THE WIND 

BEGINS TO CRY

THE WORDS CONNECT

OUR WORLD

I EXPECT

THIS IS HOW I KNOW

AS I GO WITHOUT YOU

I FEEL YOU NEAR

THE SUN COMES OUT

THE SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR

TIMES COME

AND TIMES THEY GO

SOMETIMES FAST

OTHERS WAY TOO SLOW

ONE DAY

YOU'LL TURN THAT CORNER

AND YOU'LL JUST KNOW

HOW IT ONLY FLIES

SWEET SKY

 

SWEET SKY

ANOTHER DAY COMES TO CLOSE

WHAT THE NIGHT BRINGS

ONE HARDLY KNOWS

JUST TAKE IT

AS IT COMES TO YOU

AND GOES

 

SWEET SKY

PAINTED UP WITH STARS

LOVE LIGHT, MOONLIGHT 

STOP INSIDE

THOSE BLUE EYES

LOOK AT ME

REAL CLOSE

WHEN I'M GONE

AND JUST A GHOST

MY HEART WILL STILL

BE IN YOUR SOUL

AS IF YOU DIDN'T 

ALREADY KNOW

 chorus

TAKE THIS NIGHT WITH YOU

AND THOUSANDS MORE

EVERY BREATH, EVERY TURN

LEADS ME TO BEING

MORE SURE

THERE'S NO CURE FOR THIS

TRUE LOVE STICKS LIKE GLUE

SO HARD TO FIND

BUT ONCE YOU DO

 SWEET SKY

PAINTED UP WITH STARS

LOVE LIGHT, MOONLIGHT

STOPS INSIDE

THOSE BLUE EYES

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I'D FIND

I'VE SEEN SO MANY

POISONED MINDS

READY TO WASTE YOUR TIME

 

 LIKE A FRESH BREEZE

ON A SUMMER DAY 

I'VE ALWAYS LOOKED

AT YOU THAT WAY

ANOTHER DAY

BEGINS WITH YOU

YOU KNOW

IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHAT WE DO

AS LONG AS ITS TOGETHER

SWEET SKY

ALL BUT YOU AND I

 


ALL BUT YOU AND I

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

2024

 

HOW CAN I MAKE THIS RIGHT

HOW CAN I LEARN TO ACCEPT

THAT ITS NOT EVERY NIGHT

YOU LIVE INSIDE A DREAM

IS IT EVEN ONE

I CAN REMEMBER

ONE I'VE ALREADY SEEN

 

HOW CAN I MAKE EACH MOMENT

SOMEHOW COUNT

HOW CAN WE STAY

INSIDE THIS LOVE

SETTLE DOWN AT LAST

LET GO OF THE PAST

ALL BUT YOU AND I

I CAN'T WAIT

TO GO THERE WITH YOU

WE PUSHED IT

WE PULLED IT

WE DROVE IT

DOWN THIS ROAD

A LITTLE HOT

A LITTLE COLD 


IT HURT SOMETIMES

BUT IT NEVER STOPPED BURNING

TURN AROUND

TO FACE THE LIGHT

ALMOST ALWAYS RIGHT

HOW COULD I SAY NO

TO YOUR LOVE

SAW THE DREAMS IN YOUR EYES

CLEAR AS BLUEST SKIES

SWEEPING STARS

IN DARKNESS RENT

AND ALL THOSE YEARS

WENT TO YOU

THEY WERE HEAVEN SENT

WATCHED EACH ONE

AS THEY WENT

SWEEPING STARS

IN DARKNESS RENT

NARCISSIST

 

NARCISSIST 

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

2024

 

 TEARING ME UP

RIPPING ME DOWN

SHE THINKS THERE'S NO

COST OR CONSEQUENCE

BAITING ME

TAUNTING ME

AT THE FENCE

DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S COMING

DON'T SEE WHAT'S NEXT

 

SOON AS YOUR POISON PILL

KICKS IN

THE EVIL WILL SPILL OUT

BEGIN AGAIN

YOU ARE LESS THAN NOTHING NOW

BUT YOU CAN'T SEE

BLIND TO ALL REALITY

CAUGHT UP IN MAKE BELIEVE

MASTER OF HURT AND PAIN

JUST NOT YOUR OWN

THAT WOULD BE INSANE

 

SHE NEVER THINKS TWICE

BEFORE SHE STRIKES

LIKE A SNAKE  AGAIN

SHE TRIES SO HARD

FOR A REACTION

SHE DESPERATELY

 WANTS TO USE 

 

 SHE DON'T MIND

SHOWING YOU HOW LOW

SHE CAN GO

CALL YOU EVERY NAME

IN THE BOOK

WITH A LOOK

THAT ONLY EVIL WEARS

 

TEARING ME UP

RIPPING ME DOWN

ONE TOO MANY TIMES

DON'T TALK TO ME

THERE'S NOTHING 

YOU COULD SAY

I'D WANT TO HEAR

 YOU NEVER TAKE THE BLAME

DON'T SPEAK TO ME AGAIN

SEDATION

 

SEDATION

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2024

 

IDOLIZE 

PEACE AND QUIET

COUNTRYSIDE 

HEARTH AND HOME

ALL I WANT IS TO BE THERE

ALONE WITH YOU

EVERY NIGHT 

OF MOON AND STARS 

SEES US

DRIFTING CLOSER

EDGING TO THE WORLD

BACK TO IT ALL

SHOULD OF TURNED IT OFF

LONG BEFORE NOW

FINISHED BUYING

MY OWN TIME

STEP OFF THE LINE

YOU LEAVE IT

ALL BEHIND

 

IT FEELS

IT DEFINES ME

SEDATES ME

JUST AS YOU SATE ME

YOU GIVE ME HOPE

YOU SWEAR THERE'S GOOD

IF ITS ANOTHER LOVE SONG

I CAN'T TAKE IT BACK

ITS JUST ANOTHER PLAY

FOR YOUR HEART

 

SUMMERS PLAYED THEIR PART

WOVE THEIR WAY INTO

OUR HEARTS AND SOULS 

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY

ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW

IGNORANT BLISS

UNAWARE OF

WHAT YOU'VE MISSED

 

AND ON IT GOES

THE RIVER FLOWS

SHOWING UP BY DAY

WE'RE BOUND TO

FIND OUR WAY

FLOW TOWARDS 

THE GOOD WE SEEK 

TWO STRONG WILLS

CAN'T BE BEAT

HARDSHIPS LIE THERE

IN DEFEAT

IT FEELS

IT DEFINES ME

SEDATES ME

SURE AS DOES 

YOUR LOVE

GIVEN SLOWLY

2024

 

THE BLUSHING MOON

SPEAKS TO ME

BRUSHES AGAINST ME

SILENT SERENITY

TOUCHES ME

LIKE YOUR LOVE

SUMMER NIGHTS LIKE THIS

ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN 

I'M MISSING

THE ONES I'VE SEEN

 chorus

THE HOURS FALL SLOWLY

LEANING IN

TOWARDS THE DAWN

NOT SO FAR TO GO

IT WON'T BE LONG

TELL ME

HOW DOES IT FEEL

JUST BEFORE THE SUN

WAITING THERE TO HEAL

CAN YOU FEEL MY LOVE

SURROUND YOU

HOPE IT LIFTS YOUR

SPIRIT HIGHER

 

BEACH DAY IN THE SUN

JUST YOU AND I

WHY NOT

IF IT FEELS THAT GOOD

WE SHOULD BE THERE

WHILE WE STILL CAN

SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT

WE CAN CHILL

SIT DOWN IN THE SUN

I  KNOW WE WILL

ITS JUST WHEN

WE SHOULD BE THERE

WHILE WE STILL CAN

 

WHAT DO WE DO NOW

THAT OUR DREAMS

ARE COMING TRUE

WHAT DO WE DO NOW

THAT ITS ALL NEW 

REAL
