Love and Laughter

Love and Laughter

Let me tell you how you make me feel today,
you say love and laughter is coming my way.

With no way but up, I’m feeling okay,
with love and laughter coming my way.

Without your sweet words, I don’t know what to say,
so let me thank you for the encouragement you’re giving me today.

And thank you for your guidance that you have given me,
with strength in your love, I think I understand.

With all the love and laughter come my way,
so at the end of the day, I’m doing okay,
with love and laughter come my way.

Makes No Difference

Makes No Difference

When your candle flickers out,
there’s nothing more to be said.
When your candle flickers out,
all the good, the bad, and the sad,
there’s no time to straighten out.

When your candle flickers out,
you think you left a legacy behind,
but all you left was the dash.
The dash stands for the beginning and the end,
when your candle flickers out.

One day your candle was burning bright,
but now the candle’s out.
It doesn’t make a difference of how good or how bad you’ve been,
it still comes down to the dash.
It is your beginning and your end,
and now the candle’s out.

IF MY HEART COULD SING

IF MY HEART COULD SING

You know you can’t make it through this world alone.

So why don’t you teach your heart a song.

Once it learns the words, it will be your best friend,

Then teach your heart how to sing.

When you’re down and out, your heart will sing,

Those words you taught your heart to sing.

So stick out your chest and don’t be afraid because your heart knows the song you taught it to sing.

So get it together you’ll never be alone, because your heart knows it’s the only one – that knows the words to your song.
