tears of sunshine

I woke up cold and the tears brought me warmth, it is only in love that comes sadness, only in love that comes joy, only love that breeds anger, and only love that brings tears, they are all a part of our beautiful journey, and on this journey we all to often get caught up in the details and lose focus of the center of it all which is love,

She suffers no more...

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,

She gave without taking, her love was so pure,

She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,

She asked me not to cry, 

It was her time to go,

But inside her heart,

I knew that she know,

The tears would start pouring, 

As I watch her go,

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,

She gave without taking, her love was so pure,

She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,

This road we all travel, littered with broken dreams,

Th web can get tangled, there's no end it seems,

Through it if we can find a hand, of which we can hold,

To find us light in the darkness, to bring us in from the cold,

She was our great keeper, she kept us all safe and warm,

Her heart fought right through them,

Each and every storm,

And now she's back to let her mother hold her,

Yes she suffers no more,

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,

She gave without taking, her love was so pure,

She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,

And now with her passing, she left her suffering to me,

And I hope that I may one day grow into, 

The man she hoped I'd be,

And I'll give all I have without asking,

To honor her name,

And hope that one day my own children, will get to say the same...

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,

She gave without taking, her love was so pure,

She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more

one for the road...

But when in alone I start thinking
When i think I think about her
When I think about her, I think about me,
The me that done her wrong,

that's a man I'm not a fan of,
Lord knows I've tried to drown him,
But it seemed the more whiskey I fed him,
The more he just got strong,

So I went and put that bottle down,
went and turned my life around,
How I wish that she could see me now,
the man that I've become,

But sometimes I still get lonely,
And when I'm alone I get to thinking,
And I sure get tempted to just start drinking
And I just repeat this song,

what you doing here

Hey girl what's your name, and what you doing here, 
You sure brought a shine to this old place that ain't been here in years,
Hey girl what's your name, can I buy you a beer, 
I done let too many good things pass by so let me make this nice and clear,
I sure like the way you made my soul shine when you came walking in, 
And I'm going to do the best that I can do to see you again and again,

Lost highway

I'm a lonely man, on this lost highway,

Out here searching for something,

What it is I can't say,

But if ever I find it,

It may set me free,

And then these demons,

Might stop haunting me...

I was born restless,

Never could set still,

Momma couldn't tame me,

I think that means nothing will,

I've held a lot of good women,

But the ones I haven't left set me free,

Guess I can't blame them,

It's pretty plain to see.

I'm a lonely man, on this lost highway,

Out here searching for something,

What it is I can't say,

But if ever I find it,

It may set me free,

And then these demons,

Might stop haunting me...

You were like a fairy tale

You were like a fairy tale...

One I never heard but knew so well,

Every moment spent with you...

Felt like I was right where I was supposed to be...

I never meant to do you wrong,

Can't say in sorry right...

So ill just sing this song,

Hoping one day you'll have your radio on,

And feel exactly what I mean,

I wish I could have been a better man,

Scared you wouldn't like just who I am,

I let the devil take the wheel,

And he lit a fire that burnt away..

All my dreams,

To spend one more day back in your arms,

I'd climb every mountain near and far,

But I know that you moved on,

And I should just let it be,

But I can't turn off these feelings in my heart,

I couldn't know anywhere to start,

And every day we've been apart, 

Makes it so much clearer for me to see...

You were like a fairy tale...

One I never heard but knew so well,

Every moment spent with you...

Felt like I was right where I was supposed to be...

I know that asking you to love me is asking a lot,

I've done broken and busted every good thing I've touched,

And girl your so special I don't want that to be you,

I'd just walk away but o want to try and see this one through,

So baby if you let me ill try to do my best,

I've spent most or my life running away from my own mess,

But you've given me the courage to try and stand still,

And I'm still scared as hell, but I will if you will,

And I know trying to love me is a hard thing to do,

I've been trying for years, I'd you only knew,

But I've fought years in the darkness and with you I see a light,

And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let this go,

Not without a fight,

Just give me a chance, this is all new to me,

Spend my life hiding from being tied down just trying to be free,

But I never new real freedom until I heard you say my name,

It stripped off years of regret maybe even made me a little more sane,

So if you give me a chance, ill probably need ten,

But I'll try my damnest to get it right in the end,

All ill ask if that you let me, try to show you what this love means,

And in learning as I go, so ill probably drop some things,

But I'll fight on and keep on trying to get it right,

And I'll hope that you'll let me start with tonight...
