Nothing's quite the same anymore
I feel like I'm just staring at the open door
And I'm waiting to walk through just to find you
Knowing that nothing matters anymore
Sometimes I feel lost and spun around
Tripped by life's growing vines
My heart was once strong and pure
But now it's dark; it's all because of you
My memories will always keep me jaded
Calloused and torn by my pain
When I should just grow out of it all
Though I know I can't; it's where I belong
I feel like I'm in that old country song
'Bout a man and a woman in love
Somehow I really know that it's diff'rent
Too quickly I give up but what can I do?
This eye keeps watching me
Though I don't know why
Nothing is quite as good
As when I look in your eyes
But a memory is fading fast
And an old man slowly dies
While a tragic conspiracy
Fades to the open skies
I'm so lost without you
You know that's so true
If I could give my hopes up
For a woman like you
But a new baby sings
While an old mother cries
Please hand me my new robe
And I'll kiss you goodnight
You are the most wise among all men
And your compassion to which none compares
Is just the tip of what I can't comprehend
Though I continue searching for the love
A quest for holiness you've embarked upon
And one day it you will behold
The love of God will snatch your life up
If you remain firm and not cold
So I write you to tell you to remain strong
And continue to help others along
It is a marvelous gift we can give
If to others we will show all our love.
Everyday without you is like an eternity
And everytime I think about you my heart starts to bleed
Glory in your footsteps, I can hardly sigh
When will you realize that I need your love
Cause everday, yes everyday, I think about your love
And everyday, yes everyday, I know I'm not your one
But since eternity is forever, why can't you be mine
For one day, in my life girl, cause you're the only one for me
Seeing you walking down the long hallway
Is like a stab right in my heart that I cannot bear
Though the future is dark and bleak I can still see
Open your eyes and you will see the one and only me
Do not pass go and don't collect 200
Advance to boardwalk; this is a merry-go-around
Life is like a wishing well, when you think it, it is
Nothing is quite as harsh to play as the Love Game
I only gaze upon you and my heart groans
Ther is so much love to you that I adore
And though you're far from I still don't mind
You'll always be special to my life
Wherever you run I will try to catch you
Anywhere you fall I will fall with you
I always want to be close beside you
You know what my love is, oh how, true
I only want to be a memory in your mind
I never dreamed that this love could be denied
But now I sit alone and think of it still
You know that my heart feels it's in jail
Wherever I go you will always be with me
Anywhere I trip you will be there to catch me
If we never are there together I'll know
That you were still loving me, oh how true
If you think about me as I write this to you
I want you to know you make me feel un-blue
If there is someone that smiles like you do
I can't find them and I hope I never do
I'm sitting here to write this song to you
To tell you all thing that I like about you
The way you smile the way you laugh
The way you make me want to dance
You're everything to me and so much more
You're the one I adore
Though my words are empty and broken
And my thought I thought were spoken
I cannot sing it; I cannot hear it
I cannot breathe it hurt so fast
Though I once was blind now I can see
The true reality
So do I keep singing of brokenness?
Or do I just move along with emptiness
My broken heart; My broken mind
My broken clock unwinds
Though I knew of love it is nothing
My last blessing
I think of you still
when the morning has passed
and I don't know why
my feelings still last
You are my every breath
and every beat of my heart
and I pray, "Dear God
don't ever let us part!"
For you bring my soul joy
and your love spring life anew
I miss your eyes so much
when they look at me like you do
The tears burn his eyes; still his thoughts are on you
No matter how hard he tries; he's still dreaming of you
And a mystery fades away the dreams for another day
The memories will dry all those dark clouds away
He wished he could fly; but it's just a silly joke
Though he's happy in life; he cries until he chokes
And nothing is worth saving if it just runs away
These two tragic conspiracies will just have to stay
His head spins around; he just can't take anymore
When he falls to the ground; he won't get off of the floor
And a sad song plays while the child slowly dies
There is no meaning to life when it's full of lies
And still I see a rainbow in the heavens above
I see a God of wonder; a God of love
And He cares, yes he does; more than you can know
When you're hurting with misery; let His love flow
He gave up too soon; now he thinks upon death
He sings only blues; even though he knows they're best
And a moment passes slowly by a young man's heart
These moments make our life worthwhile from the start
I saw you in the ocean
And your memories were mine
We knew each other so well
Still we parted and left behind
The fantasies of wayward youths
The challenge of a life like this
The prize of grasping our hopes and fears
And a life we would both cherish
I wish you would stay with me
I know our one could make you see
How much you're loved; How much you care
And How much you'll always be
You are as beautiful as a rose
And you bring me joy that flows
For you are so bright and bold
And you're worth far more than gold
You bring laughter to the rain
And color to things that are plain
You touch the gray clouds to skies blue
Everything is magic that you do
I wish that I had enough time to tell
Of the joy that flows from your well
But alas, in this, my last refrain
I must simply say, I love you, in vain.
My heart is like a pogo stick
Being driven into the cement
And time does not go as quick
As the time you and I spent
I write and I so furiously sing
Cause it is a great release for me
And patience He, to me, will bring
I long for more of my memory
I guess it can sometimes be sad
And so I know it shouldn't be
He, of course, should make me glad
Because of all of His beauty
The world was created at first and God saw that it was good
But the world in it's beauty; Adam and Eve never understood
The prophets tried to show the way to bring the people back
But the Israelites turned away from God leaving them in attack
So God baptized His only Son with the Spirit as a dove
To teach us that the way of life is a life of love
Remember me in paradise the dying thief said
Jesus granted him a life that was eternal instead
Then the disciples scurried around afraid but inspired
Because the Holy Spirit came upon them in flames of fire
And soon Christ will claim us again His kingdom and throne
It is great that He died for me to give me His very home.
