It Is Just What It Is

Subtle answers guarded words

your gift to me each day

I try to see the truth within

you’re veiled in every way

Oh Meg where do we go from here

we both are so confused

It doesn’t have to be this way

there is no win or lose

You have another in your life
it is just what it is
I know I have to step aside
we know that you are his

Let’s try to find a better way

to make this all work out

I really want you in my life

Of that there is no doubt

A friend is what I’ll be to you

I'll love from far away

And think of you on rainy days

sweet thoughts I will convey

Oh Restless Night

Oh restless night

please let me go

My deepest thoughts

within, you know

My struggles bare

before your eyes

Your grip so cruel

my soul it cries

Mistakes I’ve made

you now replay

Your heavy hand

leaves me dismayed

Oh go away

and let me be

I’ve paid enough

please set me free

I'll Even Give The Moon

No greater treasure have I found

you mean the world to me

My life has changed forever more

your love has set me free

There now is meaning to my life

a reason to believe

Each day begins and ends with you

my heart is on my sleeve

Oh Darling ask me what you will

a wedding gown in June?

I’ll give you anything you want

I'll even give the moon

Restless Soul

Today you walked back in my life

you showed up at my door

Oh Baby can I please come in

can’t take this anymore

We held each other for so long

not sure what next to say

We looked into each other's eyes

she said I want to stay

Dear Kate you can’t keep doing this

you’re tearing me apart

One day you say you love me

and then you break my heart

There are no more tomorrows

the price a heavy toll

I have to be the only one

to soothe your restless soul

A Diamond Shining Bright

The rain is gently falling now

the world is sound asleep

I’m laying here and wide awake

emotions running deep

I close my eyes and think of you

so lonely in this place

The racing thoughts within my mind

replay our last embrace

My world is such a mess right now

an aching deep within

I wish that I could turn back time

and bring you back again

So brilliant were you in my life

a diamond shining bright

I never thought it’d end this way

I’m missing you tonight

Hold Me Close

Last night I dreamt that you were here

and laying by my side

We looked into each other’s eyes

and laughed until we cried

We drifted off to pleasant shores

and ran along the beach

The breeze was blowing through your hair

a house within our reach

I carried you through open doors

then laid you gently down

You whispered “Darling hold me close”

You slipped out of your gown

We toasted wine… I kissed your lips

and then we made sweet love

Those tender moments that we shared

a gift from up above

Emotions

Oh sweet slumber hold me close

and tell me it’s alright

I haven’t slept for days on end

I’ll try again tonight

The thought of leaving her this way

it terrifies my soul

Emotions pouring out like rain

have taken it's sad toll

We tried to make the pieces fit

but never found a way

We both are so unhappy now

what else is left to say?

If I could find a way I would

to change this dreadful plan

We cannot even talk alone

how can we make a stand?

Whisper In My Ear

I know the end is coming soon

their faces I can see

For them I stood to say goodbye

they gather now for me

For months I’ve felt a disconnect

a longing in my soul

To see the one they took from me

so very long ago

From time to time the spirit world

It opens up a door

But as I try to pass within

the opening… no more

Oh darling whisper in my ear

I know you’re here with me

Please say those words I long to hear

then set my spirit free

To feel your breath within my ear

and hold you closely too

Is all that I can think of now

please tell me...I love you

To Love Another Day

Sweet tender thoughts go through my mind

I now can fly away

She gave me strength to soar new heights

to love another day

She ran her fingers through my hair

and kissed me on the cheek

I struggled hard to hold back tears

composure tried to keep

She brought out feelings I had lost

so many years ago

She'll always be a part of me

of this I surely know

I turned to see her one last time

before I walked the isle

She waived her hand to say goodbye
