Oh Starry Night


I've waited all my life
For the day when love appears
Like a fairy tale in days gone by
He will rescue me from my fears
And now I feel him standing close to me
And how can I tell him what he means to me?
My heart stands still - has he come??

Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of?
Oh starry night
Tell me is he my one true love?

Every night I think of him
Here in my lonely room
Waiting for my prince to come
Wondering if he'll be here soon
And I sit patiently waiting for a sign
And I hope that his heart longs for mine
He calls my name - is he the one?

Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of?
Oh starry night
Tell me is he my own true love??

Oh starry night
Is he the one I dream of?
Oh starry night
How will I know?
Will his love show??
Is he my own true love??

Finally (2-18-99)

I've finally found a part of me.
A part that has always been missing.
I like how it feels
To know that I don't have to look any further.

I think about all that's been happening,
And realize that he's always been there for me.
Even hough he's far away,
I know that he'll be there in a heartbeat.

We've only known each other for a short time,
Yet I feel that he knows what I'm thinking.
He's always been there
I've just been too blind to see it.

So now, when I need him, I know he's there,
To look out for me, and to help if I need him.
My big brother.
I like the sound of that.


Keep Me Out of It (5-4-99)

You treated me like gold
When we were alone.
So why is it so different
When other people are around?

You said that if I was older
Then maybe I'd understand
But I think that I understand just fine.
You were just toying with my heart.

"I'm too old for you," you said.
But I didn't care.
You still stole my heart
And threw it away when you were finished.

I liked having you around.
You made me laugh and helped me.
But then she stepped in,
And I didn't matter anymore.

Now I wish that we'd never met.
You actually hurt me that much.
So go and play with her.
Just keep me out of it.


When? *10-18-99*

When will I find someone?
I've been looking everywhere
But still no one.
What's wrong with me?

When will my life be complete?
With everything that I want in it?
I know exactly what I want.
I just need to find it.

When will I feel as though my life is the way I want it?


Don't Talk To Me That Way...*10-25-99*

Lately I've been seeing
A certain glow upon your face
But I know I'm not the reason
You wear that different smile these days
Though you haven't said you're leaving
Baby, I've already heard
And don't you know your silence
Is speaking louder than your words?

Don't talk to me that way
Cause it's my heart that's being broken
Goodbye still hurts the same
Even if it goes unspoken
You're tearing me apart
With everything that you don't say
You haven't said a word
That's less than I deserve
Don't talk to me that way.

Why can't you lay it on the line?
And say you found somebody new?
I can't take the silence
As well as I can take the truth
But I don't want you here beside me
If that's not where you want to be.
But you haven'e said a single word
And that's not enough for me

Don't talk to me that way
This ain't no stranger's heart that's being broken.
Goodbye still hurts the same
Even if it goes unspoken
You're tearing me apart
With everything that you don't say.
You haven't said a word
That's less than I deserve.
Don't talk to me that way.


Why Do you Hate Me? *11-17-99*

Why do you hate me?
I can see that it's true.
You say that it's the way I am
But what did I do?

Why do you hate me?
I've done everything you've ever asked
But it's still no good
Can't we put this in the past?

Why do you hate me?
What did I do?
Is it because I'm me?
Or because I'm not like you?

Why do you hate me?
You're the only love I've ever known
But now I feel like I have no one.
And I feel so alone.

Why do you hate me?
I can see it in your eyes
You tell everyone you're proud of me
But that's only a diguise.

Why do you hate me?
And tell everyone else that I'm great?
Can't you see what's happening to me?
I guess not. And now it's too late.



When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

By: Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd alwayz thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when i did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For everytime you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.


*Cryin' Ain't Dyin'*


First he said he loved you
He promised he'd be true.
Then he was unfaithful
And word got back to you
One night when he came calling
You wouldn't let him in
Now your tears are falling
You swear they'll never end.

But cryin' ain't dyin'
Losing ain't forever
It's kinda like the weather
That changes everyday
You learned yourself a lesson
About loving and lying.
But you will live to love again
Cause cryin' ain't dyin'.


*I See it Now* 2-5-01

It's good to see your face again,
It's been a while.
Well, I get by somehow.
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know I didn't see that fire in you she's found
But I can see it now

I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
But I see it now

Holding her you've never looked more wonderful
Letting go, has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what she means to you
The way you look at her, it's not a mystery
She's all I couldn't be

I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
But I see it now
