I was born in Virginia were the Civil War was fought and General Lee turned his sword over to General Grant. I grew up in Newark,New Jersey where blues music wrapped me in its sweet embrace and Ray Charles with shades like dark bandages covering his lost sight, sang and screamed I got a woman way over town that's good to me, as darkness covered the city in / silent shadows.
Worry and crying last night night kept me up real late In a tizzy because the list ran longer and longer of things To do on my plate.You see folks all these problems Have me throwing up my hands. They'll either break into pieces inside or make you a stronger man Any way that's the plan. Problems come to all of us , so don't let them Blow your ever loving mind.Pick yourself up and keep on moving Forward.Not giving in or bowled over by failure or defeat For neither which you don't have time

Victory Just Ahead By Victor Tripp
The limping poet walks around with tablet always in his hand Has a real way with words, wants the truth to always stand He might write about the sunrise or the wonders of love seen A child who will not grow up and treat other people mean Compose words of the future or pull them out of the poet Keeps an eye on on the keyhole of happening events Because he wants his words to inspire and last You might think that sometimes his words are spiteful Even out of control, but if he's inspired or even made you think Just for a minute or even more than know Than realize my friend that was the limping poet's goal

The Limping Poet By Victor Tripp
Woke up this morning the blues was in my way I said: you have to go And surely can't stay. My baby's fine love will get you out of my way I never have to worry fret or fear, my baby stays on track Blues get on out of here.Everything about, my sweet lady knows Promises made to her, I surely intend to keep My baby's sweet love makes me stay on my feet No matter what time of day, it's so good nothing to ever lack Or hold me back

Woke Up This Morning BY Victor Tripp
How Do you mend a broken heart When love is no longer there You thought love would be an easy thing But watched it passing in the night Which just proves that no one Can teach another How to care Maybe another time or another dawn You'll come back to me So I'll wait here While you search out being free Though your leaving really mattered And left my once whole life shattered So now I say with tears Running down this sad face of mine Woe is me

How Do You Mend A Broken Heart By Victor Tripp
Even a blind man could see That you belong with me And this knowledge would even make any fool wise Each time I look into your eyes I get so soft and mello inside Upside down is the way you touch my heart And every day I feel the same Sunrise to sunset the very best is coming yet My love will faithfully remain Don't ever want this romantic spark Out of my grasp Want to always walk beside you And make these feelings last You know that some people only get that one chance I believe we can be together Despite stormy times on life's trying seas Baby I 'll always believe in the strong love ahead For you and me

I Believe By Victor Tripp
I was blind and couldn't really see And your love opened up a whole new world to me Like never before Want to go running and knock on And tell the good news on every neighbor's door Must confess that I never felt this way before I remember looking at you my tongue used to freeze Suddenly felt dizzy and weak in both knees Told both my daddy and mom They said sit down and brace for a hard life lesson son Now I'm fully aware of just what the power of love Can do, not only for me but for you too Never felt this way before

Never Felt This Way Before By Victor Tripp
Our time is now     No need of anything Knowing each joy   Being in love can bring     Gossips can't tell me      That I'm too silly to really know         I need you so   And you love and need me      Our time is now       No need to longer wait        No sadness of goodbye           No need to ever wait      Think of our love and smile        Our dreams will always stay         Stay the same way      Our love is here to stay     Our time is now

Our Time Is Now By Victor Tripp
When daylight is gone And stillness guards the coming night You come into my waiting heart Causing desire to sweetly stay My prayer is to just be with you As twilight ends and softly departs M y prayer is a whisper of your name As stillness is a light divine With our arms and lips entwined My sweet know our time must be aglow Let me tell all the words you're longing to know My prayer and the answer that you give I'll prayer that they'll be the same For as long as time lets us live Want you to always be there As I whisper my prayer I will be on PhillyCam.com Chanel 29/30 Sundays at 3:00

My Prayer By Victor Tripp
If were mine the wings of a dove I'd fly into your heart and find the sweet love waiting there There would be no rivers nor mountains To hold me back from you Nothing could ever keep us apart My love for you is unending For your hand in marriage on bended knees I ask now, with no pretending Let me reach you on the wings of a dove

Wings Of A Dove By Victor Tripp
My body sways and moves To the pounding of the drums If you believe the drums will bring a brand new day than dance and sway to the pounding of the drums Time will remember your name but dance and sway to the drums Success will touch the dreams inside While stepping into the future From the drum waves of sound Flying up into the air As tapping fingers move
