I am with you
I am with you
You’re never alone
I am with you
I am with you always
I walk this desert
trail
hot and thirsty
searching for one
moment of relief
But to my dismay
I feel so alone
But a voice calls
out of the
wilderness
Come, come
I will ease you pain
relieve your thirst
because
I am with you
I am with you
You’re never alone
I am with you
I am with you alway
Color my, color my
Color my dreams
Color my, color my
Color my dreams
Separate me from what
This world seems
And color my dreams
Well, this world I live
It is not my own
It’s a dream I’m havin’
On my way home
Much, much more
Than can meet the eye
If I blink twice
It will pass me by
So I gaze upon the colors
That have all faded to grey
Ever searching my dreams
For that brighter day
Color my, color my
Color my dreams
Color my, color my
Color my dreams
Separate me from what
This world seems
And color my dreams
Well someday my dream
Will be over
And I will open my eyes
To gaze upon a brand new world
With crystal blue skies
There will be no more
Dreams of black and white
No more colors faded to gray
All the colors will be
So bright
As if they were painted
That way
On the other side of my life
Was a different me
One with hopes and dreams
Then what came to be
Now I’m just living in
the Shadows
Of those bygone days
Wishing, hoping I could relive
My former ways
But I know there’s no going
back
There’s no turning around
what’s past is past
What’s lost can’t be found
Moving forward is now a
tough life
It’s hard to go alone without
my wife
Still the days go by as
times flies along
Now I’m livin’ a life
Feelin’ like I don’t belong
Maybe life will get better
I don’t really know
All I can do is to pray
Give my heart some hope
On the other side of my life
Was a different me
One with hopes and dreams
Then what came to be
Now I’m just living in
the Shadows
Of those bygone days
Wishing, hoping I could relive
My former ways
Wishing beyond wishes
For just a little more time
To create some new memories
Continue my former life
Alas oh alas
The clock does run down
Time keeps flying away
Till before you know it
It’s your very last day
So enjoy the moments
That make up this life
So if the truth be told
You don’t get very much time
When does
loving someone
Become
being in love
with someone
Is there a difference
Are they
the same thing
I mean
You start out
saying I love you
But somewhere
along the line
you
start thinking
about the person
Really
really
thinking about the person
In fact, the person
Is all you
can think about
Is this when love
begins to be more
than just love
Is this when
you start to think
I’m in love
But when does
loving someone
become being
in love
When do you cross
the line from one to
the other
Do you know
Can you tell me
because
I sure don’t
know
The rhythm
which soothes the soul
Comes not
From the world around
Not from
Ideas which are tossed
and found
The rhythm
Which soothes the soul
Flows
From the heartbeat
Of God’s love
Washing over us
From the Heavens above
Giving us peace
So we may
Live out our lives
The time of love may
Come again
Or it may not
Compared to whom
I loved
For now my thoughts
have
Caught me living
Back in the past
To love remembered
The love I had
Waiting, wondering
If love comes again
It might not be the same
Compared to where love
Has been
For now that love lingers
And someday I know
Will help my heart love
All over again
Call me back to when
Love was well found
And so I’ve saved the
Old love
Until the time when
Love comes to my heart
Again
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 gone
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
I don’t know how to
be alone
I spent my whole life
being somebodies
somebody else
A son
A boyfriend
A husband
A father
A grandfather
Now I’m all alone
I don’t what it’s like
to be alone
But I have to find out
before the time comes
if it comes
When I’m not alone
anymore
But until the time comes
Please don’t try to
fix me up
hook me up
bring me together
with someone else
I’ll know when the
time is right
the moment arrives
when another comes
my way
But until the time comes
Please don’t try to
fix me up
hook me up
bring me together
with someone else
Because
Now I’m all alone
I don’t what it’s like
to be alone
But I have to find out
before the time comes
if it comes
When I’m not alone
anymore
I don’t need a dog,
Thank you, please.
I’m perfectly happy,
You can let it be.
I know I’m all alone,
Believe me, I do.
I spend each day
Living that truth.
A dog won’t help,
So please refrain
From suggesting
It again and again.
A wagging tail
And four little feet
Can certainly bring joy,
Right now it’s not for me
I don’t need a companion
Just because I’m alone.
I need time to discover
Who I am on my own.
So please don’t tell me,
“A dog would be great.”
I’ve heard it enough—
Please leave it to fate.
I’m finding my way,
One day at a time.
Some days I stumble,
Some days I’m fine.
I appreciate your concern,
Your kindness is true.
But when it comes to a dog—
I’ll decide what to do.
You stepped
into my life
or maybe I
stepped into yours
Right now I’m not
sure
All I know is
before I met you
my life was so quiet
Really quite a bore
then you offered a smile
It offered up new
possibilities
sensibilities
to my heart and soul
Made think that
one day
someday
I would be made whole
again
We spent a few decades
learning who we were
together
Decades of joy and
laughter
Sure there were some
bumps in the road
it was not all perfect
but we learned how
to move past all the trials
Grow from them
In the end we loved
each other more
deeply
Even through our last
and most heartbreaking
trial
love was at the forefront
love helped us be brave
together
up until you took your
last breathe
Now, more than ever
I need your love
to carry me through
until the day I
see you again
in Heaven
