Lyrics

he’s not there

by

These are the lyrics for my single that’s now available on iTunes, Amazon MP3, CD Baby, etc. 🙂

(PS: This is me asking you to check it out… if you didn’t already guess.)

—

once in every lifetime
you find the one
that’s meant to be
with you
yet still you search
forever to find that one

but now i have searched
for so long i just wanna give up
it’s so hard and
my heart has been
hurt so much
by so much

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

once in every lifetime
the soul you love
will somehow find you
and though
they may be hard to see
you’ll know it’s them

but i have been fooled before
so i can’t trust anymore
yet still i think that
i will find him,
find him someday

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

i know that he’s out there
or why would i ache so much
i need that part of my heart
to finally find home

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

Turning Christmas

by

Snow falls all around
Windows all aglow

Smells of pine and gingerbread
Swirl inside my head

I can feel it in the air
It’s turning Christmas everywhere

People hug and children dream
of gifts beneath the tree

Making angels in the snow
With friends who won’t let go

Praying for those that we can’t see
Holding tight to family

Around the fire we all stand
heart in heart, hand in hand

You can feel it in the air
It’s turning Christmas everywhere

So there are the lyrics for my Christmas song so far… the music is done up to that point pretty much… now I feel like it needs a bridge to vary it up and I haven’t figured it out yet. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m open to it! 😉

Thanks for reading and happy holidays!

There’s Not Always a Tomorrow

by

Days seem to fly by so fast.
Why can’t time slow down
and let everything last?
I want to revel in here and now,
’cause I’ll never know when it’s time
for my last bow.

Yesterday is a day I can never get back,
so I intend to do everything I can

Find a man that will love me for me;
Travel the world and sail the seas;
Raise my own family and love with all I am;
Experience and learn everything I can.
I wanna do it all, for all I know
there’s not always a tomorrow

Rocks and slides fill everyday.
The good times tower over
them in every single way.
Giving up is not an option in this journey.
The everlasting twists and turns
is all it will be.

I don’t plan on wasting this gift of life.
No matter what, I’ll continue to fight

For a man that will love me for me.
For the world and it’s guarantees.
For my own family and the love that binds.
For the purpose of all of our lives.
I’ll fight it everyday, for all I know
there’s not always a tomorrow

So many dreams yearn to come true.
Not only is time fast, it’s limited.
Even cutting things short before
they can even say thank you.
So I never want to say there’s something
that I wanted to undo…
’cause for all I know,
there may not be a tomorrow.

I Still Love You

by

I know I’ve made some dumb decisions
In the past.
I used to think there was no way for us
To last.
The time we had together was amazing
Though apart.
The moments that took you away are the ones
That broke my heart.

But baby, I still love you
More than I can say
I still love you
Even though I went astray
You’re still on my mind
More than half the time
And I still love you…
Do you still feel that way?

Gonna be a song! 🙂

Kisses in the Rain

by

You gave me kisses in the rain
Those sweet September mornings where
It felt like no one else was there

Now that you’re going away
There’s nowhere for me to stay
Thought that I didn’t love you
Boy, I guess that I was wrong
We’ll have to keep going strong

At the request of Peter … this is part of the song that I wrote when I was 10. I can’t remember the first verse and now it’s driving me crazy!

I’ll Show You

by

I guess I’m not what you’re looking for
This time around
No one is really at fault
I guess you think you have seen it all–
The best of me
But you’ve only seen the beginning

But one day,
I’ll show you what I’m made of
I’ll prove that I could be
Something you would want
I’ll show you how hard I will try
and I won’t give up

A bit of a song I started writing a few years ago after my American Idol audition…

It’s My Time

by

I have settled for too long
Why I didn’t reach, I’m not sure
My heart longs for something more
Yet everything just seems to fall short

My head has overpowered my heart
But now it’s my turn to decide

It’s my turn to take the world by storm
It’s my time to make my dreams real
It’s my dream to live my life my way
It’s my time for me to live

I’ve always wanted so much more
Doubt just seems to always fill me
That won’t get me anywhere
Now I see what I could find

My dreams have taken me away
But now it’s my turn to fly

It’s my turn to take the world by storm
It’s my dream to make all things right
It’s my time to open my eyes and see
That my time’s come for me to live

My heart’s on my sleeve
For the first time in my life
Second best isn’t good enough
But being myself is better

It’s my turn to take the world by storm
It’s my dream to make a brand new world
It’s my time to break all bounds and be
In my time and living free

It’s my time

This is one of my songs that I intend on re-recording in the not-so-distant future. It needs a revamp. So how I’m feeling though.

Is it over yet?

by

Is it over yet?
This never ending game we continue to play
Is it over yet?
Is this even worth it at the end of the day?

You pretend
What you say never feels sincere.
I pretend
That it’s not really you that’s here.

Is it over yet?
It’s like the old same song,
Playing over and over again.
I hear you but I no longer feel you.
When I try to pull away,
You hold on with all you have.
You think it’s so wonderful, but I think it’s not.
Is it over yet?

Since I’m at BiSC, I’m being lazy and posting stuff I’ve already written… Lyrics for Friday! 🙂

A Different Story

by

Do you think something like this
Happens every thousand years?
A connection neither of us can let go of?
You bring out the best there is in me.
Time slows down when I’m with you.
If only it could last forever…
But when you tell me how amazing I am,
I find it so hard to believe
That you only mean it as a friend.

Because when you hold me
I feel a different story.
I feel so much more than what you show me.
It’s the way you touch, the way you smile
Whenever you’re around me.
The way you talk, the way you hold me close.
You’re saying one thing but telling a different story.

For April 7 since I forgot…

my soundtrack for you

by

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down,
but I stick up my chin and grin and say
the sun will come out tomorrow.

There ain’t no mountain high enough
when you wish upon a star…
any way you want it–
that’s what you get.

And I’ll be your bridge over troubled water,
come what may, i will love you…
I will always love you.

Don’t forget to remember me
because
I can’t make you love me
but I will remember you.

I’ve had the time of my life….
so what can I say
when you say nothing at all?

You belong with me.
How do I live
without you
because I love the way you lie?

Raindrops keep falling on my head
so send in the clowns
somewhere only we know.

Nothing about love makes sense.
Please don’t leave me.
Don’t turn around.
Just breathe.
Kiss me.
