Goodbye, Baby, Goodbye

It’s too late, I can tell
By the light of the moon
Its pale glow doesn’t
Lighten this load

Change is coming, I can tell
By the chill in the air
I catch my breath
As you turn to go

Goodbye is so hard to hear
Above a heart that cries
When its lost something dear
It’s too late, I know
You’ve got to go
So, goodbye, baby, goodbye

There’ll be blue skies, once again
‘Cause all things must end
Like the rain
That falls like tears

We’ll be okay, I can tell
By the warmth of the sun
Shining light
On the good things to come

Goodbye is so hard to hear
Above a heart that cries
When its lost something dear
It’s too late, I know
You’ve got to go
So, goodbye, baby, goodbye

Love Remains

Dear master behind this plan
Dear maker of all things grand
What will end our misery?
What will bring us lasting peace?

When we see eye to eye
Heart to heart with open minds
The truth is there in black and white

When we love again
Our fear will end
When all is lost
Love remains

We fall, we break, we blame, forsake
Compete, defeat, and hurt and hate
What will end our misery?
What will bring us lasting peace?

When we welcome the divine
With open hearts and open minds
The truth is there, it’s shining bright

When we love again
Our fear will end
When all is lost
Love remains
When love begins
It never ends
When all is lost
Love remains

Come and Dream

Come and dream
Come and dream
On this wintry night

Snowflakes glistening
And falling
Under the street light

From the window
We watch them fall
With sleepy eyes
My hand in yours
Too beautiful
For words
A sleepy sigh
Says more

Come and dream
Come and dream
On this wintry night

Snowflakes glistening
And falling
Under the street light

Come and dream
Come and dream
Come and dream

Good Day

Woke up on the right side of the bed for a change
I’m calling in sick, do you wanna do the same?

It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good good day
A good day

Opened the window to the sweet sweet sound of the birds
Singing their sweet sweet song

It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good good day
A good day

We’re gonna laugh all day, lounge and be lazy
You’ll tell me I’m beautiful though a little bit crazy

We’ll sip lattes in the morning eat breakfast at noon
Turn up the radio and dance around the room

It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good good day
A good day

I’ll unplug the phone, switch the computer off
‘Cause I’ve got a fever and you’ve got a cough
Let’s laugh all day, lounge and be lazy
You’ll tell me I’m beautiful though a little a bit crazy

It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good good day
A good day

Woke up on the right side of the bed for a change
I’m calling in sick, do you wanna do the same?

A Glimpse of Heaven (Song for Sadie)

My dear child, what can I tell you?
I long for the wisdom to comfort and guide you
Yet I’ve learned the most from loving you
To share what you’ve shown me is all I can do

My darling, I know this much is true:

Every now and then
You’ll catch a glimpse of heaven
It’ll fill you up with love
For the precious life you’ve been given
Yes, it will fill your heart with gladness
Gratitude and kindness
And there’s nothing
You can’t make it through
When you know that
Every now and then
You’ll catch a glimpse of heaven

At times despite the light, dark will surround you
Your wide-open eyes won’t see the beauty around you
There will be ups and downs and highs and lows
The only sure thing is that anything goes

My dear child, at least this much I know:
