Song Lyrics

While it is easy for me to take pen to paper or these days fingers to keyboard it is not always easy to make the words flow the way I want them to flow. Here are a few more of the words which flow from my spirit onto the page, This time in the form of more lyrics.

While I am not a musician and don’t know if the lyrics would hold up if set to music I just like writing them. The inspiration for these lyrics, like all my writing, comes from all over. Sometimes it is something I hear. Others times it is a thought of times past. Yet others come when an idea just pops into my head. Most of these lyrics are from ideas which just popped into my head.

I hope you enjoy this batch of lyrics.

Life is a series of notes strung together to create your own unique song.

Change

When did my life change

When did my life rearrange

When did my life change

From my youthful days

When did my life rearrange

To live my parents ways

I no longer live for

those Friday nights

For the music,

The dancin, the lights

Till the wee AM

I no longer spend

The money I earn

On every little

Whim, fancy or yearn

Til it is

No,no,no

When did my life change

When did my life rearrange

When did my life change

From my youthful days

When did my life rearrange

To live my parents ways

I want to go back

But I know I can’t go back

To those carefree days

Back to my youthful ways

Because time marches on

Years fade and are gone

My life has been changed

My life has been rearranged

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything“ Plato

Missing You

Thought I found a love in you

But alas it never came to be

You took your love gave it away

To someone other than me

I saw you sitting together there

Embraced in a long soulful kiss

I knew then your rich warm touch

I would sorely and deeply miss

In the end I wish you the best

As I turn and stroll sadly away

Hoping you the best tomorrow’s

As I begin a life of new days

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

With some tears in my eyes

They say time heals all your wounds

But I think it’s a bunch of lies

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

My only choice is to move on

Try to move along with my life

Tell my heart this chapter is done

Thought I found a love in you

But alas it never came to be

You took your love gave it away

To someone other than me

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

As the love in my heart for you

Will take a long time to be gone.

“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.” – Charlie Parker

Shut Up and Kiss Me

I pressed a finger to your lips

Said everything’s gonna be okay

Well get through this together

So shut up and kiss me

Shut up and kiss me, kiss me

Press your lips deep into mine

Enjoy the love we have together

Knowing someday we’ll be just fine

We’ve been through the rough times

We’ve been through the bad times

Many, many times now and before

But we’ve learned one thing in life

As long as we remember to love, to hold

each other our hearts will endure

So, Shut up and kiss me, kiss me

Press your lips deep into mine

Enjoy the love we have together

Knowing someday we’ll be just fine

So, Shut up and kiss me, kiss me

Press your lips deep into mine

Enjoy the love we have together

Knowing someday we’ll be just fine

Thought I found a love in you

But alas it never came to be

A Love

Thought I found a love in you

But alas it never came to be

You took your love gave it away

To someone other than me

I saw you sitting together there

Embraced in a long soulful kiss

I knew then your rich warm touch

I would sorely and deeply miss

In the end I wish you the best

As I turn and stroll sadly away

Hoping you the best tomorrow’s

As I begin a life of new days

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

With some tears in my eyes

They say time heals all your wounds

But I think it’s a bunch of lies

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

My only choice is to move on

Try to move along with my life

Tell my heart this chapter is done

Thought I found a love in you

But alas it never came to be

You took your love gave it away

To someone other than me

Missing you, missing you

I will be missing you

Cause the love for you in my heart

Will take a long time to fade away

Livin‘ In A Smalltown

Well,I wanna live in a small town

A Mayberry type of small town

A friendly help your neighbor small town

One of those small communities

A family living nearby small town

I’d own a little store there, smalltown

A sippin tea on my porch, small town

A very quaint place I wanna be

A Sittin all day with my friends, smalltown

Goin to church on Sunday, smalltown

Strolling along the quiet streets, smalltown

A secret smalltown romantic that’s me

I wanna see all there is to see, in a smalltown

I wanna become all I can be in a smalltown

Well,I wanna live in a small town

A Mayberry type of small town

A friendly help your neighbor small town

One of those small communities

Give Me Back My Peace

My mind is clouded with fright

My heart is clouded with fear

So much so It takes away

All of my happiness and cheer

I want to shout at the top of my lungs

Go away, get away, leave me alone

Give me back my peace, the peace

Which once my heart had known

Give me back my peace

Give me back my peace

My days are spent wondering, waiting

For the despair which may never come

My mind is clouded so very much with

Things which may or may not be done

Lord let my heart focus wholly on you

Blows the clouds in my mind far away

Open my heart up to your sweet truth

Turn me back, help me to see the way

Give me back my peace

Give me back my peace

My mind is clouded with fright

My heart is clouded with fear

So much so It takes away

All of my happiness and cheer

Give me back my peace

Give me back my peace

God is the only true source

For real peace in this life

Turn you heart towards Him

He’ll ease your fear and strife

Give me back my peace

Give me back my peace

What Is It About Music?

What is it about music that helps soothes the soul? Maybe it is the rhythm. Maybe it is the lyrics. For me it is the lyrics. I connect with lyrics when they touch a chord deep in my heart. My hope and prayer is that one of the lyrics in this set will do the same for you. Until next time try to find some peace and joy for your life even in these troubling times.
