My Dearest Friend 04:53
lyrics
buy track
My Dearest Friend Looking ahead To the days of summer’s past Trying to catch A memory that will last What came before Is bound to come again I waited all year in these lonely shadows With bated breath just to see your face my friend Yes the years have passed And these lines are on my face But the summer breeze Takes me to that time and place When hand in hand The world was ours to make Skipping along through the fields of clover As the tall grass sway in the calm down by the lake Here but gone it’s a constant sorrow But I push ahead to a bright tomorrow You’ve played your part In this tragedy of life my dearest friend Though our paths they crossed for the briefest moment I won’t forget for our love was potent It filled me up and left me reeling And I’ll thank you till the end Now I see The world through different eyes And the joys in life They come as no surprise And I face the day With the sunlight on my face Though the tears may come they wash away the darkness I push on through and cling to your embrace Here but gone it’s a constant sorrow But I push ahead to a bright tomorrow You’ve played your part In this tragedy of life my dearest friend Though our paths they crossed for the briefest moment I won’t forget for our love was potent It filled me up and left me reeling And I’ll thank you till the end My friend

When Will We Ever Learn 03:43
lyrics

When Will We Ever Learn Waking up, at the crack of dawn On my feet, before they hit the ground Jump into, another day Pushing forward, deep into the fray Here then gone as our life flies by Standing breathless as I wonder why The time that’s left, is fading fast One moment here, the next one’s in the past Still I wonder if we’ll ever see That time is precious to you and me And when it’s gone, it’s gone for good When will we ever learn? Flying months turn into years Wisdom learned clouded now by tears Catch our breath then start again Is this life what you want my friend Here then gone as our life flies by Standing breathless as I wonder why The time that’s left, is fading fast One moment here, the next one’s in the past Still I wonder if we’ll ever see That time is precious to you and me And when it’s gone, it’s gone for good When will we ever learn? Let’s slow down And enjoy this time Search out joy It’s not hard to find Here then gone Is the lesson learned Life’s too short Where love’s concerned Here then gone as our life flies by Standing breathless as I wonder why The time that’s left, is fading fast One moment here, the next one’s in the past Still I wonder if we’ll ever see That time is precious to you and me And when it’s gone, it’s gone for good When will we ever learn? Waking up, at the crack of dawn On my feet, before they hit the ground

All of Me For All of You 03:57

All of Me For All of You As the stars above twinkle in the sky Dusting the world in their fairy light You come to me as though in a dream Where what I say is what I mean This night with you is for us alone Sharing ourselves we make a home Within a love that’s here to stay All through the night all through the day All I am I give to you All of me for all of you Though this life may bring us down By your side my heart is bound Together we will face the flood And in the end bound by our love We’ll rise above we’ll persevere We’ll make a stand we’ll make it here Though the storms of life may blow Tossing our lives now to and fro Anchored in love our hearts as one Riding the seas until the storm is done Over the waves we make for shore Sharing the burden now evermore And in the end when our days are done We’ll meet the end as one All I am I give to you All of me for all of you Though this life may bring us down By your side my heart is bound Together we will face the flood And in the end bound by our love We’ll rise above we’ll persevere We’ll make a stand we’ll make it here

Stop Wasting My Time 04:08
lyrics

Stop Wasting My Time Early morning and it seems to me This isn’t really how it had to be You pushed your point Till it broke in two I see your view and I sympathize But despite the tears welling in your eyes I can’t condone What you’ve said or done You’ve made your bed so lie in it It really will not help if you throw a fit You’d better grow up fast now and act your age I won’t put up with your childish rage I don’t care now that you think your right It isn’t worth my time I’m not going to fight I’ve got better things to do than to hear you whine Go away, stop wasting my time I told you already now go away Save your complaints for another day Make yourself scarce Before I put you in your place I don’t want to listen you haven’t changed your tune I’ll send you to visit the man in the moon Leave me alone And let me live in peace You’ve made your bed so lie in it It really will not help if you throw a fit You’d better grow up fast now and act your age I won’t put up with your childish rage I don’t care now that you think your right It isn’t worth my time I’m not going to fight I’ve got better things to do than to hear you whine Go away, stop wasting my time You’ve made your bed so lie in it It really will not help if you throw a fit You’d better grow up fast now and act your age I won’t put up with your childish rage I don’t care now that you think your right It isn’t worth my time I’m not going to fight I’ve got better things to do than to hear you whine Go away, stop wasting my time

Eternity 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Eternity Sunset roars and the day it ends As the night it comes crashing down The moon it climbs in a cloudless sky And the stars wink without a sound And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round Have you ever seen a night so clear It puts the purity of love to shame? And you reach out your hand to touch the sky Before you pull it back again And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round Up in the sky on a night so clear You can see across a billion years From the dying light of a long dead star Eternity isn’t all that far Though we stare with all our might We only catch a glimpse of fading light From a billion worlds we can’t explore Though they're lying there at our door I’d like to touch each and every sun Glowing in the depths of night And run my hands through a comets tail And ride it till the morning light And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round And we’re staring into eternity With our hopes and dreams all gathered round Up in the sky on a night so clear You can see across a billion years From the dying light of a long dead star Eternity isn’t all that far Though we stare with all our might We only catch a glimpse of fading light From a billion worlds we can’t explore Though they're lying there at our door
