I sat and watched the stars tonight
They burned so hot and shone so bright
Reminded me of your sweet love
and lifted me so high above
I sat and watched the angels sing
And saw you there with your new wings
you sang a sweet sad lullaby
It made me smile, then made me cry
Then back to earth too soon I came
Twas Bittersweet, to hear your name
on Angels voices high above
Sent back to earth without your love
I sat and watched the stars tonight
they burned so hot and shone so bright
But I touched heaven for a while
And I shall dream of you and smile...
Gord Merritt...

Sometimes the most beautiful stars are not the ones that shine the brightest. They are ones that always shine in the distance and help you find your way...

If a tree falls in the forest
Can I kiss you behind another?

A new song I wrote titled "it all ends in why?"
There are times when I miss you
There are times when I cry
There are times when I I'm lonely
and times when I lie
And say I don't love you
Though I don't know why
I aint fooling noone
Though god knows I try.
There are days when I'm sunny
There are days when I rain
There are days when the storms come
again and again
I guess it just pride dear
that helps me hold on
And stop me from dying
or going insane.
Chorus
There are days when I'm lonely
There are days I am blue
There are days when I'm happy
Just thinking of you
There are days when I'm alright
and there are days that I try
But the days that I miss you
all end in Why?
Verse two
There are people who like me
and people who don't
There are people who love me
But there's one who just won't
There are people who know me
and know I'm a fake
Every time that I smile (at you)
they can hear my heart break
There are times when I wake up
and times when I sleep
but the last one is harder
cause my ache is too deep
But when I do sleep nights
what I try not to do
I try not to dream
Cause It's always of you
Chorus
There are days when I'm lonely
There are days I am blue
There are days when I'm happy
Just thinking of you
There are days when I'm alright
and there are days that I try
But the days that I miss you
all end in Why?

shhh, it's late. Sorry I woke you
I know that it's late
but I'm glad your awake
Shhh it's late we cant wake the kids up
yeah I know that it's late but
i love you with no make up
shhh it's late don't mind me I'll just check out
that little spot on your neck about
there.
shhh its late, don't wake the kids up
just lie there and sigh while I
shhh. it's late.

If ever I held you again. If fate would be so kind
I would not forget to love you for even one second
I would not look past one second to the next
I would not lose one precious second
For seconds lead to minutes and then hours and then into days.
I wasted too many seconds not holding you
I wasted too many minutes not taking you in
I wasted too many hours not loving you,
No...I would not waste even one second.
I have spent too many seconds, too many minutes
Too many hours, days, months and years... thinking of you
Loving you... wanting you back in my arms.
And I will spend the rest of eternity
A second at a time
Just dreaming of your touch.
And if I could hold you one more time
If fate would be so kind... I would make each second
Last a lifetime.

Raven
As the night calls you
Sun near gone and all light fading
Heat of the waning sun has past
and yields to the pallid moon

In darkness comes the lust of night
and trepidation fades
Howling comes my desire and righteous need
and with it your raven hair and burning eyes
To tear my indecision away

Oh Raven
As the night calls you
And bares your breast to my sinful tongue
to feed my needful want and leave me sated
and yet unfulfilled and ere wanting
The nectar of your womanhood

Raven
As the night calls you
I am yours so to possess
And yet you see me not as yet
My age perhaps is beyond you lustful thought

But Raven
As the night calls you
My sin is to feed my eyes on you
and ere to slake my need and desire
My mind takes hold of you in the dimness
And I love you yet again

Gordon Merritt
