Let Me Go
Release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess,
how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, as life goes on,
so if need be just call and I will come.
Though you can’t hear or see me, I will be near
and if you listen with your heart,
you’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then when it comes time for you to come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say “Welcome home.”
Dark Was The Only Light
Sweet dreams were broken
when I looked upon the sky
hateful words spoken
I thought to say my goodbyes
Down the hole I went
where dark was the only light
The frown I resent
the bright day barely in sight
Deep in my sad mind
where I laid down in the grass
where I try to find
whatever can truly last
I look to the sky
where darkening grey clouds come in
the rain starts to fly
down upon my weathered skin
Then I close my eyes
and let the dark enclose me
Now there’s softened cries
as I die by the green tree
You Make Me
You make me laugh when I want to cry
You make me live when I want to die
You make me want to smile when I want to frown
You turned my life upside down
You believe in me when no one else does
You’re my now, my is, my was
When you call out my name I begin to blush
I worry people notice I need you so much
When I’m with you time flies by fast
It’s like the present is the past
I need you more than you believe
I love you more than you can conceive
I think about you every night and day
And hope my life can stay this way
I don’t want it to be any other way
