the happiness i know

I lie awake in desperation
Of wanting to feel you here tonight
Stare at the stars
That once filled the sky

Behind these eyelids of mine
Is a picture show of you and I
Holding each other close
In this bed where I sleep alone

Chorus:
I can see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I can feel the sweat on my brow
And swear that I'd still be freezing
The songs of the birds are silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is all a part of this happiness I know

I remember all the things I forgot
To say to get you to stay
But what good do words from yesterday
Do you today

The past cannot be rewound
But is yet where I live
Subconciously my love to you
I give
Without admitting and debating
To see you I sit here waiting
But until then...

Chorus:
I can see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I can feel the sweat on my brow
And swear that I'd still be freezing
The songs of the birds are silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is all a part of this happiness I know

So lie with me tonight
For just a moment
Until I open my eyes
All I want is
To remember you and me
Dancing in the summer breeze

I'll let you go for now
Cause every prayer comes to end
I will talk to you tomorrow
And see you when Heaven let's me in
But until then...

Chorus:
I'll see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I feel the sweat on my brow
And swear I'm freezing
The songs of the birds will be silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is the only happiness I know

Goodnight my love, Amen

only you and i

I know it’s only for a moment,
But I’ll take what I can get
It’s not every day in this sleepy world
I find happiness.

I know you’ll go back
From where you came
And this moment
Won’t mean anything

This is what I know,
And it’s ok
Because right now,
You’re mine today

Chorus:
So hold me tight,
Let me think
It’s only us tonight.
Kiss my lips
And touch me with your fingertips.
I’ll close my eyes,
And make-believe
That this forever,
Is you and I.

Yeah I know this moment will pass,
But I’m not willing to give up so fast.
If I can live in this moment
With you as my girl
I’m going to make you,
My entire world.

I will tell you how I’ll make you smile,
How your heart will race a thousand miles,
Fill you full of butterflies,
Just by looking in my eyes,
If you…

Chorus:
Hold me tight,
Let me think
It’s only us tonight
Kiss my lips
And touch me with your fingertips.
I’ll close my eyes,
And make-believe
That this forever,
Is you and I.


When I leave here tonight,
I’ll put this all behind me,
But we haven’t made it that far,
So put your arms around me.

Chorus:
And hold me tight,
Let me think
It’s only us tonight
Kiss my lips
And touch me with your fingertips.
I’ll close my eyes,
And make-believe
That this forever,
Is you and I.

Yeah I’ll close my eyes,
And make-believe
That this forever,
Is you and I.
