After All These Years

Here we are after all these years
Face to face, Heart to heart
And I've loved you from the start
But I never thought that we'd be standing here
After all these years

Here we are with another song to sing
All these days pass us by
As we watched our childhood fly
And I'm still the one to share your hopes and fears
After all these years

After all these years
We still have each other
One to another
After all these years
You're still the one
And I'm still here
After all these years

And here we are with another bridge to cross
Face to face, Heart to heart
And I loved you from the start
But I never thought that we'd be standing here
After all these years

And I've loved these days
All we've been through
And I'd just like to say
I'm so glad it's been you
Here's one more song from the heart
For the laughter and the tears
After all these years

A Mother's Day

Mom and Dad were reading in the den
Mom said, "I'm gonna go to bed, it's late."
She went to the kitchen to make three
School lunches another night in a mother's day.
Put the cereal bowls out for breakfast,
Set the coffee maker for 6:00am;
Sewed a loose button on brother's shirt for him;

Checked sister's math homework, sent a note to the teacher,
Added eggs to the grocery list;
Started a load of wash, made sure the doors were locked,
Put water in the puppy's dish;
Wrote a check to the children's piano teacher,
Turn the dishwasher on;
And Dad called out, "Honey what's takin' you so long?"

Have I ever thanked you for everything you've done?
Now all that I can say is, "I love you Mom."

Hung some art on the refrigerator door and
Headed up the stairs;
Kissed all the children and helped Sister comb her
Wavy golden hair.
Washed her make-up off and turned on the bath;
Lay down in the moon soft light
And kissed dad goodnight.

Have I ever thanked you for everything you've done?
Now all that I can say is, "I love you Mom."

Thank you for nursing me through all those colds and fevers;
Thank you for believin' in me when they were no other believers.

And it's never too late to say, "I love you Mom."

By Heart

Hold me close
Baby please
Tell me anything
But that you're gonna leave
As I kiss this falling tear
I promise you I will be here

Till the stars fall from the sky
Till I find a reason why
And darling as the years go by
Till there's no tears left to cry
Till the angels close my eyes
And even if we're worlds apart
I'll find my way back to you by heart

When you go
I'll stop the clock
I won't ever
Let this moment stop
Time is stealing you from me
But it can never take this memory

Till the stars fall from the sky
Till I find a reason why
And darling as the years go by
Till there's no tears left to cry
Till the angels close my eyes
And even if we're worlds apart
I'll find my way back to you by heart

Change Of Heart

I feel that I'm at a crossroads
I don't know which way to go
You say that I am changing
Into someone that you don't know
Who I am and who I'll be
Is locked inside, inside of me

And if I follow my heart
Will you still be my friend
If we break apart
How do I make
How will you take
My change of heart

For years you have been my best friend
I thought that would always be
You know that I just can't pretend
It's written all over me
'Cuz where I'll go
And what I'll do
I just can't see
My life without you

If I follow my heart
Will you still be my friend
If we break apart
How do I make, how will you take
My change of heart

Moving on is gonna take some time
When I'm gone, you might have
A change of mind
Gotta take the chance
No matter what I find

No matter how far I travel
I think of you as home
It's not about finding someone else
It's all about being alone
Because who I am and who I'll be
Is locked inside, inside of me
'Cuz if I follow my heart
Will you still be my friend
If we break apart
How will I make, how will you take
My change of heart

How will you take
My change of heart

Destiny

What if I never knew
What if I never found you
I'd never have this feeling in my heart

How did this come to be
I don't know how you found me
But from the moment I saw you
Deep inside my heart I knew

Baby you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I'd give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

I wanted someone like you
Someone that I could hold on to
And give my love until the end of time

But forever was just a word (Just a word)
Something I'd only heard about
But now you're always there for me
When you say forever I believe

(Chorus)

Maybe all we need is just a little faith
Cause baby I believe
That love will find the way

Baby you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I'd give my love to have and hold
And as I far as I can see
From now until eternity
You were always meant to be
My destiny
You're my destiny

Hope Is Born Again

Starlight falling on the snow
Fire glows within
Celebrate the joyful news
Hope is born again

There is holly 'round the doorway
There is cider on the stove
And the sound of Psalm will fill the air
As the family gathers close

Lift your voices high and sing
Grace has entered in
Praises to the infant King
Hope is born again

Through the frost upon the window
See the stocking on the
Where the light reflects the cheerfulness
That's growing in our hearts

Lift your voices high and sing
Grace has entered in
Celebrate the joyful news
Hope is born again

(instrumental)

Lift your voices high and sing
Grace has entered in
Praises to the infant King
Hope is born again

And the hope of that first Christmas
The day that heaven came to Earth
Now it comes again and fills our heart
As we celebrate his birth

Starlight falling on the snow
Fire glows within
Celebrate the joyful news
Hope is born again
Hope is born again

In A Lover's Eyes

All you see are endless skies
Like an ocean lit by fireflies
With a long deep breath
I speak my heart
Saying things
I'm not sure just what they are
A feeling catches me by surprise
You can see forever
In a lover's eyes

I can stop myself
But on I go
Finding feelings
I have never known
There's hope beyond
Your wildest dreams
And the feeling
Is nothing to extreme
In a flash
Tomorrow begins to rise
You can see forever
In a lover's eyes

I can see your world
Beautiful and new
And although I don・t know
Where it's leading to
We will travel on
Our fate unknown
And for once
I know I'm not alone

If we survive
Love holds no greater price
You can see forever
In a lover's eyes

You can see forever
In a lover's eyes

In Your Eyes

What on earth am I meant to do
In this crowded place there is only you
Was gonna to leave now I have to stay
You have taken my breath away

Is the world still spinning around
I don't feel like coming down

It's in your eyes
I can tell what your thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you

Destiny has a funny way
When it comes and takes all your cares away
I can't think of a single thing
Other than what a beautiful state I'm in

Is the world still spinning around
I don't feel like coming down

It's in your eyes
I can tell what your thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you

Love Never Fails

Love, love is patient, love is kind
Love does not worry, does not boast
It is not proud, it is not rude
It is not easily angered
Love keeps no record of wrongs

Love never fails, never fails
I promise you, my love will never fail
And I will give to you
Faith, hope and love

Love does not lie in evil
Love, I'll always protect
Always trust, always hope
And it will push me
Love rejoices in truth

But, the greatest of these is love

Love Of My Life

I am amazed
When I look at you
I see you smiling back at me
It's like all my dreams come true

I am afraid
If I lost you girl
I'd fall through the cracks
And lose my track
In this crazy lonely world

Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When the nights can be so long
And faith gave me the strength
And kept me holding on

You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are my love
The love of my life

Now here you are
With midnight closing in
You take my hand as our shadows dance
With moonlight on your skin

I look in your eyes
I'm lost inside your kiss
I think if I'd never met you
About all the things I'd missed

(Chorus)

Starbright

Starlight, starbright
Wishing on the first star of the night
I wish I may
I wish I might
Make all your dreams
Come true tonight

As your drift
Off to sleep
Angels guard the memories you keep
Now close your eyes
And dream away
And you'll awaken on Christmas day

Starlight, starbright
Shining on my little one tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Make all your dreams
Come true for you tonight

The Gift

Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on
Like a fairy tale come true
Sitting by the fire we made
You・re the answer when I prayed
I would find someone
And baby I found you

Chorus:
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I・m thankful every day
For the gift

Watching as you softly sleep
What I・d give if I could keep
Just this moment
If only time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us grey
But baby in my eyes
You・ll still be beautiful

(chorus)

(piano solo)

Chorus:
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
I can・t find the words to say
That I・m thankful everyday
For the gift

The Love I Found In You

You are the air I need to breathe
The river of life inside of me
You are the half that made me whole
You are the anchor of my soul

And you are strong when I am weak
You are the words when I can't speak
You never fail to see me through
That's the love I found in you

You are my shelter from the storm
You are the road that leads me home
And baby with you here face to face
Oh I know I've found my place

And you are strong when I am weak
You are the words when I can't speak
You never fail to see me through
That's the love I found in you

And once in every life
You find the one that's right
And when you say forever it's true
That's the love I found in you

You are strong when I am weak
You are the words when I can't speak
You never fail to see me through
That's the love I found in you
That's the love, love I found in you

Valentine

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

What We Believe In

Funny, just the other day
I was walking down the street
Stopped into that place
You know, the one where we used to meet
Thought I heard you call my name
And I whispered on the wind
And I remember you were going
Never coming back again

But if love is what we believe in
I'll see you in heaven's first bright star
If seeing is believing
I look into the skies and there you are
You're not that far
'Cause love is what we believe in

Looking through some photographs
From not so long ago
Right now, I'd give anything
If I had only known
I would never you touch you, hold you
Or kiss your face
Feel your arms around me
Or fall in your embrace

(Chorus)
Now love will break your heart
When you say goodbye
But love is worth the pain
And all tears you cry

And if seeing is believing
I look into the skies and there you are
You're not that far
'Cause love is what we believe in
And you are in my heart
And our love is what I believe in

You

I never felt alone, I was happy on my own.
And who would ever know there was something missing?
I guess I didn't see the possibility, it was waiting all the time,
but it never crossed my mind, till you opened up my eyes.

Now I all I think about is you, in my life, in my dreams,
in my heart I know it's true that I belong with you.
Because of you in my world, in my arms, I have everything
and now I can't imagine what I'd do without you.

I never thought love could be such a curiousity.
What attracted you to me was soo unexpected,
but it was waiting all of the time and it never
crossed my mind, till you opened up my eyes.

Now I all I think about is you, in my life, in my dreams,
in my heart I know it's true, that I belong with you.
Because of you in my world, in my arms, I have everything
and now I can't imagine what I'd do without you.

You, in my life, in my dreams, in my heart,
I know it's true that I belong with you.
Because of you in my world, in my arms, I have everything
and now I can't imagine what i'd do.

Without you, in my life, in my dreams,
in my heart I know it's true, that I belong with you.
Because of you in my world, in my arms, I have everything
and now I can't imagine what i'd do.
I can't imagine what i'd do.. Without you...

Your Love

It's not the flowers
Wrapped in fancy paper
It's not the ring I wear around my finger
There's nothing in all the world I need
When I have you here
Beside me, here beside me

So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
Cause your love is the greatest gift of all

In your arms
I found a strength inside me
And in your eyes, there's a light to guide me
I would be lost without you
And all that my heart could ever want has come true

So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
Cause your love is the greatest gift of all

You could offer me the sun the moon
And I would still believe
You gave me everything
When you gave your heart to me
But I couldn't ask for more
Cause your love is the greatest gift of all

So you could give me wings to fly
And catch me if I fall
Or pull the stars down from the sky
So I could wish on them all
But I couldn't ask for more
Cause your love is the greatest gift of all
Your love is the greatest gift of all
The greatest gift of all
