New Song Lyrics

Always Be Here

What is it about you that struck me so hard? 

Is it your laugh or eyes that broke down my guard?

You made me forget my heart had been scarred. 

How I feel when I see your smile, I cannot discard

I get a little flustered, my whole world is jarred

(chorus)

I just want sit close to you and talk all day

Be wrapped in your arms and never be afraid

Pressed against you and feel your lips touch mine

My head on your chest, your heart beating wild

Don’t ever let me go, I want to always be here

I’m going to make loving you my new career

The first time we met, I was caught unaware

I could tell there was something, it was in the air

I couldn’t stop smiling, I had chills everywhere

I didn’t think my heart was ready to share

You reached for my hand, we fell into a stare

(chorus)

I just want sit close to you and talk all day

Be wrapped in your arms and never be afraid

Pressed against you and feel your lips touch mine

My head on your chest, your heart beating wild

Don’t ever let me go, I want to always be here

I’m going to make loving you my new career

When we’re near I want to be touching you

A simple brush of our arms in passing will do

When I feel I can’t breathe you come to my rescue

You’re a gift to me and my emotional curfew

I’m lost in your smile, can our love be this true?

(chorus)

I just want sit close to you and talk all day

Be wrapped in your arms and never be afraid

Pressed against you and feel your lips touch mine

My head on your chest, your heart beating wild

Don’t ever let me go, I want to always be here

I’m going to make loving you my new career

Need to be Gone 

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone

Before you and I, I wasn’t missing anything, but my heart needed to sing

You needed someone to help you break up all the pain, and bring you in from the rain

We became husband and wife, then a baby on the way, she’ll bring us laughter everyday

It made your past came alive, you treated me like I was her, and the nights became a blur

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone

The years have gone by, you always left us on our own, and I began to feel alone

We had a good life, I wouldn’t change a single day, we shared so much along the way

But the struggles went on, we don’t talk any more, you were always out the door

One day it was gone, the love I felt had disappeared, I knew the time was drawing near

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone

Homeward Bound in Texas

Driving the back roads of Texas, trees as far as I can see, Passing small towns, wondering where the roads will take me

I’ve been driving all day, not really sure where I am, This winding farm road is lonely, majestic and grand

(chorus)

The sun is setting over this peaceful countryside

I’m sitting back driving and enjoying the ride

A weekend drive through your endless fields

Texas beauty and grace will never yield

A few more miles, a few more small towns

Then Texas help me to be homeward bound

Nothing can compare to driving with the wind in your hair, Windows down, music turned up and going no where

Not sure where I’ll end up, so for now I’ll just go, Texas is my home, from Dallas to San Antonio

(chorus)

The sun is setting over this peaceful countryside

I’m sitting back driving and enjoying the ride

A weekend drive through your endless fields

Texas beauty and grace will never yield

A few more miles, a few more small towns

Then Texas help me to be homeward bound

Drove around Houston and the stockyards in Ft. Worth, Saw the sun rise in Abilene, coming up on this great earth

Headed back north of Dallas, home where I belong, I love driving this Lone Star state, so I had to write this song

(chorus)

The sun is setting over this peaceful countryside

I’m sitting back driving and enjoying the ride

A weekend drive through your endless fields

Texas beauty and grace will never yield

A few more miles, a few more small towns

Then Texas help me to be homeward bound

Someday

I never had time to spend on love, working on my dreams took all my time

I had control of my own world, my heart, my work and this crazy life of mine.

My friends used to say, don’t wait too long, you don’t want love to pass you by

Then, one day, I bumped into you and in that instant, you changed my life

(chorus)

Why did my heart open up that day?

One look at you and I didn’t know what to say.

My stomach got a tingle, your eyes, I can’t look away.

My knees went weak, did I really just laugh that way?

Oh Lord, what’s happening, is this my someday?

We spilled our coffee and had a laugh, we sat and talked for what seemed like forever

I missed a meeting and didn’t answer my phone, I messaged that I’m under the weather

Did we both just take the day off, and make plans to see a matinee together?

I’m not sure what happened that day, but when I look at you, my world is better

(chorus)

Why did my heart open up that day?

One look at you and I didn’t know what to say.

My stomach got a tingle, your eyes, I can’t look away.

My knees went weak, did I really just laugh that way?

Oh Lord, what’s happening, is this my someday?

Fate took over when we walked in that café

I believe I’ll take a chance that this is my someday
