Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well, we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regrets
Lord, knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But, you've always been a friend to me
You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see the day
When you say I might be right
And there's times I'd rather kill you
Then listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me
You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me, that's it's okay to be just the way I am
With no apologys
Oh, you've always been
And you will till God knows when
Yes, you've always been a friend to me
When every moment gets too hard
The end of the road can feel so far
No matter how much time we're apart
I'm always near you
I'll be your shelter in the rain
Help you to find your smile again
I'll make you laugh at a broken heart
Wherever you are
Chorus:
'Cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the walls come down someday
All alone and you feel afraid
I'll be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend
So many people come and go
Nothing can change the you I know
You'll never be just a face in the crowd
And time will show you the seasons and the years
I will always hold you dear
Whenever you fear
Chorus
Chorus
I'll be around
When every candle burns down low
And I want you, I want you to know
Chorus
Chorus
This is one of my favorite songs
Cautions in the wind
The hardest part is through
You don't have to try so hard
To make me fall for you
I surprise myself
With what I've gone and done
Just today I heard myself
Swear you were the one
Chorus:
Laugh, I just had to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can't belive that you're asking me when I will love you
When I will love you
I already do
I already do
You've been doing fine
Please don't change a thing
It's too good to hide away
So I might as well come clean
I didn't shout it out
Everybody knew
Funny, you're the only one
Who didn't have a clue
Chorus
I gave you my heart
Can't you feel the power
You wanna see the light
Baby, the suns been out for hours
Chorus
This is another one of my theme songs
If you only knew the way I love you
Don't I wonder what you'd do
Would you look at me and say you love me too
If you only knew
If you only knew I'm dreaming on you
Every night the whole night through
Would you make my wildest dream of you come true
If you only knew
I pretend I'm jsut a friend
But, now and then i wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew
I pretend I'm just a friend
But now and then I wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew
Oh, I wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew
This is another GREAT!! song, it's about God
I don't know how I survived
In this cold and empty world for all this time
I only know that I'm alive
Because you love me
When I recall what I've been through
There's some things that I wish I didn't do
But, now I do the things I do
Because You love me
And now that you're in my life
I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because You love me
And now that you're in my life
I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because You love me
I believe in things unseen
And I believe in the message of a dream
And I believe in what you are
Because You love me
With all my heart and all my soul
I'm loving you and I never will let go
And every day I let it show
Because You love me
Because You love me
Because You love me
This is yet another one of my theme songs
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice, but there's no one by my side
And time washes clean, love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me, but I don't know what it means
Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make him mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time
Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near
And I never drew, one response from you
All the while you failed all the girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make him mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long, long time
Wait for the day, you'll go away
Not that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of loss, who knows the cost
Living in the memory of a love that never was
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you
For a long, long time
'Cause I've done everything I knoew
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time
I LOVE this one.. It's a song for dreamers
You've got nothing to lose
When you've lost it all
And, that's a good time to choose
If you're gonna stand or fall
I've got a feeling
Things'll get better soon
Dreams are for dreaming
Dreams are for coming true
Shoot for the moon
Aim high
There's a billion stars
In an endless sky
And one is yours
And one is mine
Shoot for the moon
Aim high
You've got everything you need
If you've got a friend
Somebody who'll whoop your mule
Push you to try again
Pull back your arrow
Stand with your chin up high
Feet firmly planted
Sight with a single eye
Shoot for the moon
Aim high
There's a billion stars
In an endless sky
One is yourse
And one is mine
Shoot for the moon
Aim high
This is another song for dreamers
"I grew up in such a creative environment especially working in theatre around great talented people, who really helped me to see my creative vision and kinda told me it was okay that if what you really wanted to do was play the piano. Then that's what you should do. So, I'm really thankful because I don't know how I would have followed this path had it been any different. So, I'm really close to some songs, that remind me how great it is to have possibilities in your life, and how important it is to have hopes and dreams and wishes about what you want to be and what you want to do. It's a song about magic and about inspiration, but mostly about. You never know what's coming next in your life."
And why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Well, rainbows are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
And so we've told
And some choose to believe it
And I know they're wrong
Wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
And who said that every wish
Should be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star
And somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
And what's so amazing
That keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
And have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
Well, I've heard them
Calling my name
And are these the sweet sounds
That called the young sailors
Well, I think they're one and the same
And I've heard it too many time to ignore it
There's something that I'm s'posed to be
And someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
This is A GREAT!!!!! song
That old wind that's whippin' out ther
It's whislin' your tune
That wind blew pyramids to Egypt
And footprints to the moon
And that old star that you been wishin' on
Is shinin' mighty bright
But it's the fire inside your heart
That's gonna lead you to the light
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to live there
How you ever gonna know victory
How you ever gonna know
What it's like when dreams become reality
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold her
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to dance
How you ever gona know
If you never take the chance
You know failure isn't failure
If a lesson from it's learned
I guess love would not be love
Without a risk of being burned
Anything in life worth havin'
Lord, it has it's sacrifice
But the gift that you're receiving
Is worth more than the price
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to live there
How you ever gonna know
What you never knew
How you ever gonna know
If you're here doin'
What the good Lord put you here to do
How you ever gonna know
If you could have done it
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to fly
How you ever gonna know
If you never dare to try
Listen not to the critics
Who put their own dreams on the shelf
If you want to get the truth to admit it
You've got to find out for yourself
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to be there
How you ever gonna know
If you're the best
How you ever gonna know
What you believe in
If you don't put it to the test
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold him
How you ever gonna know
What livin' means
How you ever gonna know
If you never chase the dream
How you ever gonna know
Your potential
How you ever gonna know victory
How you ever gonna know
What it's like when dreams
Become reality
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold her
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to dance
How you ever gonna know
If you never take the chance
Wear sunscreen. If I could off you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this information now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-yr-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th weedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other poeple think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But, trust me on the sunscreen.
