Good Bye and Goodnight

He was so high caught up in his mind
thinking of all his dreams desired
But he found a way one more time
just to take this load off his mind
Look at him now, wishing somehow
time would come back to him again
So he could live the changes
he thought about every day.
Is this goodbye and goodnight
did he try hard enough to find a way to love
Is it all gone? Was it alright?
Did he try hard enough to find a way in his short life?
Now and old man and the radio band
playing the song of his romance
and as the tears rolled down
he picked up his pen to write
I'm so sorry Ann
I don't know if I can
believe that my life was anything grand
but after all has been said and done
it's clear more has been said than done
Is this goodbye and goodnight
did he try hard enough to find a way to love?
Is it all gone? Was it alright?
Did he try hard enough to find a way in his short life?

Rocks in the Riverbed

Rocks in the Riverbed
They're smooth, you see
They'll go right into the giant's head
fast as can be
Rocks in the Riverbed
Ya, that's me
Smoothing down my rough edges
slow, but steadily
Here we are, here we are in the River
Knocking heads
Hit me hard, hit me hard
(and the most)
You may think I'm crazy but this I know
David's going to put His faith to the test
He'll pick the smooth ones
and leave the rest
and Lord, I want to be that stone
Rocks in the Riverbed
Now, you see
Smoothing down your rough edges
is what you need
Oh, Rocks in the Riverbed
There you be
It's up to you, what you do
with all your casualties
Here we are, here we are in the River
Knocking heads
Hit me hard, hit me hard
(and the most)
You may think I'm crazy but this I know
David's going to put His faith to the test
He'll pick the smooth ones
and leave the rest
and Lord, I want to be that stone

Fool For You

I can't see what's
Gone right to my head and I
I can't tell that this boat
Has been blown way off course
But I keep sailing on
Into the beautiful blue sky
With my head held high
For I know that, for I know that
I, I, I will always be a fool for you
I, I, I will always set sail with you
I, I, I will always love the ocean blue
I, I, I will always be a fool for you
You can't see what
Dangerous toils lie ahead
You can tell that
This boat's compass leads me on
So I keep sailing on
Into the beautiful blue sky
With my head held high
For I know that, For I know that
I, I, I will always be a fool for you
I, I, I will always set sail with you
I, I, I will always love the ocean blue
I, I, I will always be a fool for you

You Said You'd Love Me

You said you'd love me forever
Did forever come to an end?
I went on loving you
The way that I said
Because forever is what I meant
But I can't keep loving you darl'in
If it's true, you've truly moved on
If I'll never belong, to you
Darl'in know that it's true
I'm thinking of you
While staring out of this window
Cuz I don't know why
You said goodbye

Man of My Father

Where do we go from here tomorrow?
Time's gone by, but it's hard to find
Something that makes me want to forget you
When it's cold outside, you'll be in my mind
Oh remembering
when I first saw you dance
Time stood still that day as you
you began to bring
Your world so close to me
and effortlessly, I began to see
You
I have become a man of my father
He taught me well and showed me how
learning to love is all that I needed
When wounds they come
I will carry on
on to where I go learning love's great dance
where two come and join as one
and you, you begin to bring
your world so close to me
and effortlessly, I will always be
True

Hold On
03:18

Listen very carefully
to what I have to say
I have gone before you,
so I know the way
There is nothing easy
about the road you're on
But it's worth it in the end I'll say
so little child hold on
hold on
There will come a day for yo
when you must decide
If you're going to stand and fight
or run away and hide
There'll be no one there for you
when your freedom's on the line
There's no time for doubt or fear
it's time for you to shine
and Hold on
Hold On (x8)
As you lay there sleeping
In your mother's arms
Unaware she keeps you
safe from any harm
There will come a day for you
when you'll stand up on your own
but don't forget your story
It was love that made you strong
Hold On...
