Your Voice



I thought of you again tonight
when memories walked on by
A tender nudging of my heart
that made me start to cry...

It's been a long and lonely year
I've made it through somehow
When times were hard I heard your voice
just like I hear it now...

You always have a special way
to let me know you're close
Whenever I am faltering
and when I need you most...

Moving On



I'm letting go and moving on
it's time to make a change
Been stagnant in my universe
so much to rearrange...

I never should have stayed so long
my focus is a mess
The hasty choices that I made
were poor I must confess...

I'm hoping there is time for me
to find my paradise
To wipe away the bitter tears
that often fill my eyes...

Decissions


Your name is whispered in the wind
our tears fall in the rain
The memory of what used to be
still fills my heart with pain...

It's all so hard to understand
what tore us both apart
Our dreams were right in front of us
and love was in our heart...

We never should have walked away
I should have made you stay
Decissions that we made in haste
we can't undo today...

Love Of My Life




I think about what might have been
and where we both are now
The memories of those glory days
still fresh with me somehow...

You always were my miracle
could always make things right
The rose that blossomed in the Spring
The star that shone so bright...

You'll always be a part of me
no one can take your place
Your name is carved upon my heart
and cannot be erased...

Change


The winds of change are blowing now
I feel it in the air...
A voice is speaking to my soul
"you quickly must prepare"...

An ever growing restlessness
increases by the day... 
A thousand thoughts within my mind
of what may come my way...

I know that nothing stays the same
we all must move along...
Another path that I must take
to reach where I belong...

Winter


Outside a gentle snow begins
a dusting on the trees...
It seems like only yesterday 
they all were full of leaves...

Standing tall and all alone
they face the bitter cold..
Another winter has arrived
we see it all unfold...

A thousand stories they could tell
of everything the've seen...
A silent witness to it all
along this winding stream...

Princess of My Youth


Another day in restrospect
you walked across my mind...
I've never lost my love for you
have kept it all this time...

You'll always be eighteen to me
the princess of my youth...
The one I thought would share my life
the one consuming truth

I've tried to understand it all
the thoughts of many years...
The way we said our last goodbye
still brings so many tears...

I'll keep you hidden in my heart
no matter where I go...
If we had tried a little more   
I guess I'll never know...
