what's going' on. what has happened here. my baby's gone it seems she's all but disappeared. no need to cry. i've shed all my tears. i look alive but dead inside girl i need you here.. forever yours is all you've said. while questions dance inside your head.. but you don't know what you want. you don't know what you need. it's oh so plain to see. it's love that's hidden deep inside. it's all you say to me. if only you'd believe.. what's goin' on. what has happened here. my baby's gone it seems she's all but disappeared. please come out. come out wherever you are. the game is done it's no more fun. girl you've gone too far.. i wish to love you once again. but now i clearly understand.
i was sitting in my kitchen thinking of you. how i wish that you still loved me. how i wish that you still knew. all the love i feel inside. please turn around don't hide. oh my love for you is strong. my love for you is strong.. oh marie. can't you see i love you marie.. my marie had something new. she understood what i was going thru. we'd talk all night oh can't you see. the waffle was the place to be. but then something changed one day. she doesn't feel the same. oh my love for you is strong. my love for you is strong.. oh marie. can't you see i love you marie.
close your eyes and make a wish. you know i'll meet you where you are. if only your heart could speak. but you've got to know.. that if you want it. you got it. i'm waiting for you. i'm never far away. just to see. the skies. wide open and blue. in your eyes today. no one's gonna ever take your place.. close your eyes and make a wish. i know the days you feel alone. so tired and afraid. but you've got to know.
i believe in You. please believe in me. even though my distance took away the love i now see. i've longed to touch You. and i've longed to feel the same. i'd believe i was in heaven if i could shake this shame.. i thank You Lord. for waiting patiently on me. embracing souls complete the healing. i am now free.. it feels like many years. that You've been reaching out. all ths time holding on while i hold out. i'll defend Your love. and only ask for Your grace. and as i stand before You. i only see the beauty on Your face.
1969 was a very bad year. children marching in the streets. hoping war would disappear. suits and ties in washington. tied the soldier's hands. and folks back home were protesting. what they didn't understand. they practiced what they called free love. LSD was the drug of choice. the kids were desperately searching. and zimmy was their voice. back in 1969.. 1969 was a very good year. in california the kids arrived. from far and from near. a strange young man with long blond hair. raised his finger high. his "sweet sweet song of salvation." will never ever die. it was called the jesus movement. they were known as jesus freaks. they danced to larry's music. and they listened to God speak. back in 1969.. life's a dream or so it seems as i live this wonderland. worry free but still the need to understand.. 1969 was my favorite year. i think it took them by surprise. when i got here. nine months in the making. nine months to the day. early in the morning. the 27th day of may. i was just a little baby. i had no way of knowing. what a crazy world we lived in. and just where we all were going. back in 1969.
i stare into an empty sky. with nothing clear before my eyes. maybe all our dreams aren't to come true. but i still need you. now i'm holding on to tomorrow. cause the smile is still yet to come.. now i tell you. that i love you. i sing to you. then bring to you. a heart that only. sees the light in you.. surprise me and say you'll go. even though the future's never known. patiently waiting for the day. you bring us back home. now i'm holding on to tomorrow. cause the smile is still yet to come.. now i tell you. that i love you. i sing to you. then bring to you. a heart that only. sees the light in you.. is it time to go. it's time to stay. or is it time to walk away. if for only one day. i'd say the perfect things. i'd live the perfect way.
wake up early in the morning. i see it's late again tonight. i know that change is just another part of life. but can you see all the sadness in my eyes.. mom are you there. do you feel the pain i do. is there anyone who really cares. or understands the pain that i go thru.. i called you later on a friday. your tender heart and open ears. how i long to be that child once again. who knew your kiss would take away the pain and fear.. mom are you there. do you feel the pain i do. is there anyone who really cares. or understands the pain that i go thru.
i'm at a loss for words. with so much inside. are you falling away or taking me in. i read your words today. with a smile on my face. but why do so many questions still remain.. run to me collide with me. no winds of change will blow us free. you flood my soul so perfectly. won't you breathe on me.. the shadows start to turn. as the past continues to burn. won't you take one step and i'll meet you there. i pray we'll be alright. as you're walking thru my mind. with this ounce of hope i hold so well.
i guess today's just one of those days. that seem to happen now and then. you hate to see them come. and they never seem to end. why does this happen all the time. you think you got it licked. but then it gets you from behind.. won't you come see me. just to say all that is on your mind. i know it hurts dear. but all you need is just a little time. so much to do here. so much heaven and hell to still go thru. my heart can't take it. we're both in love but what's still holding you.. i guess today's just one of those days...... i thought i saw you. i'm sure i know just where you want to go. that distant smile. tells me that there's more than you want to show. are you here to kill me. or did you come to brighten up my day. so much to tell you. but now there's really nothing left to say.. i guess today's just one of those days.....
i can see you like a dream. my angels in the air. sent to fly into my life. with a love beyond compare.. and i called to say that i love you. just to hear and say it once again. i just called to say that i love you. just to hear and say it once again.. i can see you like a dream. my angels in the air.
the day was just another day. not unlike most any other. we didn't check each other out. or know that we'd become such lovers.. but i'm so glad you came to see me. oh so happy. guitar in hand and band beside me. you came and made me oh so happy. and now i know our love will always be.. sometimes it's hard because i know. that i won't see you for quite a while. i kick the ground and stub my toe. so mad at all these distant miles.. but i'm so glad you came to see me. oh so happy. guitar in hand and band beside me. you came and made me oh so happy. and now i know our love will always be.
REALITY
see my
heart go deep inside my soul. peace and love are the only things i
know. girl your love. brings me only tears of joy. but
i know you know.. this is not reality. though i daily pray
it be. i wish only the best for you. i wish only the best
for me. but this is not reality. though i daily pray it be.
this is not reality. though i pray you'd still love me.. just the
touch of your hand the smell of your hair. tells me baby you know i'll
always be there. it's been so long since i've seen a smile like
that. and those eyes still melt this heart.. this is not
reality. though i daily pray it be. i wish only the best for
you. i wish only the best for me. but this is not reality.
though i daily pray it be. this is not reality. though i pray you'd
still love me.. so i'll smile your way and say goodbye. and hope you
never see the tear in my eye. i guess i'll only look back to where we've
been. and never understand why.
i am waiting for the sun to shine upon me. i am waiting for your kiss to say it's just a dream. i am waiting for my strength to return. i'm waiting for recent memories to burn. i'm waiting for your love to.. release me..... i am waiting for this bitter cold to melt away. i just want your healing arms to make the pain go away. i am waiting for my strength to return. i'm waiting for recent memories to burn. i'm waiting for your love to.. release me.....
the wind blows on an autumn day. as my mind thinks back i just have to say. i'm thankful. i'm so very thankful. leaves fall down like a praying mom's tears. in the middle of the night it's God's voice that she hears. and i'm thankful. i'm so very thankful.. i've been criticized from the very start. but two people have been there with all of their heart. maybe not understanding all the things that i do. but they know that God speaks to me as well as them too.. day turns to night my soul does the same. the wisdom he speaks eases the pain. and i'm thankful. i'm so very thankful. a God fearing woman and a God fearing man. when the strong winds blow they've taught me to stand. and i'm thankful. i'm so very thankful.. i've been criticized from the very start. but two people have been there with all of their heart. maybe not understanding all the things i do. but they know that God speaks to me as well as them too.
i'm sorry dear but you'll have to excuse me. i think i feel a little sick to my stomach. you know i understand i've felt the confusion. but a year is time enough to get over it.. what do you want me to do. tell me tell me. what do you want me to do. God only knows God only knows.. i smiled today cause you kissed me yesterday. but tomorrow you don't have a clue what you're feeling. on a perfect day you always come my way. but can i believe all that you are saying.. what do you want me to do. tell me tell me. what do you want me to do. God only knows God only knows.. you know just how i am. i'll give you all that i can. but when i can't take it anymore. goodbye goodbye goodbye.
inside of you is a part of me. and inside of me is so much of you. whether you want it or not. whether you think you need it or not. we are not alone. we are here in this world together. though we're far apart. we are one in my eyes forever.. in this lullabye. i can drink my tears away. in this lullabye. i can wish your words to say. i love you. i love you baby. i love you. i love you so much baby..... whether you want it or not. whether you think you need it or not. we are not alone. we are here in this world together. though we're far apart. we are one in my eyes forever..... i just died in your arms tonight. it must have been something you said. i just died in your arms tonight. it must have been some kind of kiss. i should have walked away. i should have walked away. i should have walked away.....
