close your eyes babe
what do you see?
a starry night or a porcelain sky?
is it the shade of navy you love?
i closed my eyes and i saw the world grabbing me gently, pulling me tight and close,
while it whispers sweet nothing in my ear
i envision a love that is endless,
a heart so large that it overflows,
and a passion that even fruits envy.
so tell me darling,
have you a dream to sell me?

It’s been a long time since I’ve slept alone in the winter.

It makes me miss the snow.

And the freezing feet that touched my legs.

But you were still warm.

And so was I.

A familiar way the light shines through blinds.

A familiar way I say “I miss you” every night.

Whatever will be, will be.

I am a master at lying
It is an art
I’ve become so good at it
That when I say
I am fine
I almost believe myself

All the fake smiles
Can’t hide how I feel
All the fake smiles
Can’t make me feel better
All the fake smiles
Make me miss when I smiled for real

Those Hands

I may not know
how many times I stumble and fall for tomorrow
Yet,
I know there's always a hand to help me get up again.
I may not know
how much pain I might get for tomorrow
Yet,
I know there's always a hand that heals every wounded hearts.
I may not know
how much sorrow will be for tomorrow
Yet,
I know there's always a hand that draws rainbows of joy to find me.
I may never know
what tomorrow may bring
Yet,
I know God sees my future and holds me near.
In Thy hands, I'm safe and sound

The squirrel hops from one tree to another.
Not a care in the world.

You’re a twilight dreamer
Thoughts of make belief
Sound and wide awake
Make belief is what you’re feeling
Just in my thoughts again.

there's no one quite like it
the voice in your head
it tells you you're pretty
than tells you you're dead
there for you in silence
there for all the pain
it picks up the pieces
it cut out of your brain
sick with the flu and gotta wake up at 6 am.

i know the world has been cruel to you,
but darling, tell your heart to beat again.
