Watching Scottie Grow

Silent words
                        conveying with his actions
                        questions and solutions unknown

                        Pensive mind
                        heart filled with purpose
                        angel in my arms

                        Serious eyes
                        hollow but aware
                        different in his mirror

                        Senstive ears
                        painfully absorbing
                        sounds we cannot hear

                        Loving soul
                        a blessed gift of wonder
                        continuing in his world...

                        to play and learn and grow

I’m Sorry

I waited for you late last night
in spite of all your alibis
I can't take this anymore

I'm sorry...baby

The last I heard your heart was gone
and now I sit here all alone
Just thinking what you said to me

I'm sorry, baby

(C) Now I can't go home
to the place that I've always known
Your arms around my fantasy
the loving that you gave to me
How could I have known
You'd be better off on your own
Just let me stand here in the rain
It's falling on my foolish pain
'Cause I'm wishing it were yesterday

Are you sorry baby?

Our music's all been played
Your kiss upon her lips won't fade
And I know that I should have stayed

But I'm sorry...baby

And Though

The sun is setting on our love
I know that you have to go
back to the place
I know that you must be
I miss you, but I know that you can feel me - I'm there
Just close your eyes and believe

(C)
And though we may be far apart
Our hearts are always closer
I love you
More than you know
I'll close my eyes
And dream away
Feel your arms around me
Just hold me
Please don't let go

Tomorrow when you wake me with
your smile -- it's my sunshine
I'll kiss your lips and look into your eyes
And through the day remind you that
after we say goodbye
You're always there on my mind

(C)
And though we may be far apart
our hearts are always closer
I love you more than you know
I'll close my eyes and dream away
Feel your arms around me
Just hold me
Please don't let go

(RC)
I'll say my prayer for the gift of you
my blessing forever
Just hold me
Please don't let go

Just hold me...
Never let go

Empty Eyes

I can't believe this is happening
                        Too many nights of waiting for you to
                        walk through the door
                        Her kiss on your lips
                        Her taste on your mind
                        My territory traced with her
                        fingertips

                        I don't know why
                        I'm hoping that
                        you will look back
                        on all of the things
                        that we had shared
                        How much I cared
                        How much I held you close to me
                        so you wouldn't be so scared

                        And you stand there
                        and I cry
                        but you don't ask me why I'm hurting
                        Don't you feel
                        the goodbye
                        Is there anything left inside
                        Your empty eyes

Losing Time (Country)

Woke up this mornin'
                        sun was shinin' on me
                        but I heard the rain
                        and knew that I was dreamin'

                        I thought about all the pain you caused
                        and the things you said to me
                        as I packed my bags
                        and told you I was leavin'

                        Honey did you mean to hurt
                        my heart again like that
                        I really thought that we had
                        somethin' that would last forever

                        I realized when I saw your face
                        you had thrown it all away
                        I guess I should have known
                        nothing lasts forever
                        Well I think they're right
                        you never should say never

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm fighting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you
                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        Now it seems that everything
                        has fallen into place
                        You got your life, your new wife
                        and baby, you got your freedom

                        But did you know
                        that I was willin'
                        to try anything
                        to be the best, to be your only one

                        You didn't hear me beggin' you
                        to give our love a chance
                        Instead you turned your back
                        on someone who adored you

                        But maybe somewhere down the road
                        I'll find the answers to that
                        and I can heal my heart
                        maybe love again
                        Yeah I'll heal my heart
                        and I will love again

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm tasting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you

                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        how to make you mine

                        how to turn back time...

                        I'm losing time

Patience in the Rain

There is a place
                        where I can go
                        My smile disguises
                        what no one knows
                        Inside of my head
                        into your heart
                        My safety zone
                        is your loving arms

                        Now too many times
                        I'm missing you
                        The world's eyes are closing
                        to blinding views
                        I have to run away
                        to feel your kiss
                        Cuz you're the only one
                        who can bring me....

                        (C)
                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I 've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        The patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...
                        down.

                        Storms can be ruthless
                        but I can't ignore
                        The fact that I'm waiting
                        outside your door
                        Clouds can be beauty
                        but they can hide
                        what you cannot say
                        what you feel inside

                        I can be stronger
                        can see this through
                        to another day -
                        just to be with you
                        Though so many times
                        I want to turn away
                        The sun shines your laughter
                        for me and....

                        (RC)
                        You lie there dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what we've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        (RC)
                        Down I lay dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Kissing you softly
                        Loving you sweetly
                        while the rain...
                        is...falling...

                        Down

Coming Home

Traffic's a maze
                        red lights and haze
                        are bringing me closer to you
                        I can't stop waiting, anticipating
                        all of those things that you do

                        Feel my sweet kiss
                        this true happiness
                        when the sunset brings you to me
                        I can't stop smiling
                        feel so excited
                        now that my world is complete

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        I want you know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        Candles burn bright
                        making sweet love all night
                        'till daybreak takes you away
                        Look in my eyes
                        and feel my warm touch
                        I'll pull you to me
                        and beg you to stay...

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        (bridge)
                        Though rushing hours
                        may call your name
                        I'm waiting here for you
                        Time moves so quickly
                        and I'm getting ready
                        to show you what you mean to me

                        (C -soft)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        I dim the lights slowly
                        and whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door...

                        So glad you're home
