EVERYDAY BLUES

Looking for someone I can tell my story to.
Looking for someone who understands the Blues.
Is there anybody out there with nothing else to lose?
Because when you’re not thinking about it; here come those everyday blues,
And in a blink of an eye, you’re in a different mood.

So, when you walk around with your head hanging down.
This is What people don’t understand, it’s all about those everyday Blues.
But when you realize you have a lot to lose, that’s when you should stretch out your hand and Whisper a Silent prayer,
And He’ll be there too take hold of your hand, and chase away those everyday blues.

YOU NEVER FORGET

The little things that we tend to forget, as life moves bye so very swift.
A baby’s first smile, your very first kiss,
Water running over your feet as you walk near the beach.
Your very first ride on a Merry-Go-Round as the horse you’re riding goes up and down,
The first time you see a shooting star.
Just remember it’s the little things in life that make you who you are.
It doesn’t matter how old you get; you never will forget that very first kiss.
You may not remember the day, the time, or the hour.
But you never will forget, the – ONE – You gave, your very first kiss.

Broken Heart

If love was looking for a place to live, why can’t it move into your heart.
You have the time, the space, and grace to give it a start.
The reason why love can’t move into my heart,
Because love used to live here and it tore my heart apart.

So, if it’s looking for a new place to live let it move into your heart.
You have the time, the space, and grace to give it a brand-new start.
So, the answer to your question, love can’t live here anymore,
Because it tore my heart apart, and I refuse to let love function – in my broken heart.

Tired and Weak

When Trouble arrives by the truckload, you may be missing your blessing because you’re not at home.

Can somebody tell me where did I go wrong, my blessing came, and I wasn’t home.

Sometimes when you run the streets you never know who you going to meet.

 Someone who’s tired, someone who’s weak, someone who knows what it’s like to be on the streets.

So, do yourself a favor and go back home, and you’ll find that your prayers were answered, and you were never alone.

The man who you ran into, who was tired, and weak. He prayed for you to get off the street.

So, pray for him not because he prayed for you, but you know in your heart it’s the right thing to do, and pray he too can get off the street.

Because he’s tired, and he’s weak, and with your prayers he may get off the street.

Because he’s tired, and he’s weak.

Things to Do

When I woke up this morning, that old sun came shining through.
I looked around, and I said – I have nothing to do.
Now let me think, and get out my list of things to do,
And think about the things I forgot to do.

Because when that sun comes shining through, life gets a whole lot better.
That’s when I think about getting out of the house, and getting a new hairdo,
Polish my fingers, and my toes, and forget about the work I know I have to do.

When I look over that old list there may be a few things I may have missed.
But on a sunny day – like this, I think I’ll go out, and spend some money.
Because on sunny days life gets a little funny,
You need to get out of that house buy a new dress and spend some money.
Because that old list of things to do, will be there tomorrow when you have nothing to do.
