Baby Can I Hold You.

Baby Can I Hold You. (Rock country).

Vocals: American contemporary folk artist Tracy Chapman.
Lyrics: American songwriter Tracy Chapman.

Baby Can I Hold You.

Sorry,
Is all that you can say,
Years gone by and still,
Words don’t come easily,
Like sorry, like sorry.
Forgive me,
Is all that you can’t say,
Years gone by and still,
Words don’t come easily,
Like forgive me, forgive me.
But you can say baby,
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words,
Ooh, at the right time you’d be mine.
I love you,
Is all that you can’t say,
Years gone by and still,
Words don’t come easily,
Like I love you, I love you,
But you can say baby,
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words,
Ooh, at the right time you’d be mine,
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words,
Ooh, at the right time you’d be mine.
You’d be mine.
You’d be mine

A Song For A Sunday.

Stand By You

Vocals: American singer-songwriter and author Rachel Platten (From her album, ‘Wildfire’, 2016).
Lyrics: Joy Williams; Jack Antonoff; Matthew Morris; Jon Levine, and Rachel Platten.

Stand By You

(Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven)
Hands put your empty hands in mine,
And scars show me all the scars you hide,
And hey, if your wings are broken,
Please take mine ’til yours can open too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes,
And hurt, I know you’re hurting but so am I,
And love, if your wings are broken,
Borrow mine so yours can open too.
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down,
We can find a way to break through,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Yeah, you’re all I never knew I needed,
And the heart, sometimes it’s unclear why it’s beating,
And love, if your wings are broken,
We can brave through those emotions too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
And oh, truth I guess truth is what you believe in,
And faith, I think faith is having a reason,
And I know, know love, if your wings are broken,
Borrow mine so yours can open too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down,
We can find a way to break through,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
I’ll be your eyes ’til yours can shine,
And I’ll be your arms, I’ll be your steady satellite,
And when you can’t rise,
Well, I’ll crawl with you on hands and knees ’cause I,
I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down (Hey),
We can find a way to break through (Come on),
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we can’t find heaven (Hey),
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Love you’re not alone.
Oh, I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven, (heaven, heaven, heaven),
I’m gonna stand by you.

Strangest Dream.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Vocals: American singer and songwriter, the late John Denver (1943 – 1997).
Lyrics: American folk singer-songwriter, the late Edward Potts McCurdy (1919 – 2000).

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
,
To put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
And the room was filled with men,
And the paper they were signing said,
They’d never fight again,
And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed,
And the people in the streets below,
Were dancing round and round,
And guns and swords and uniforms,
Were scattered on the ground.

(Sing it with me)
Last night, I had the strangest dream,
I’d never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

(Sing it again)
Last night I had the strangest dream,
I’d ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

The Light Within.

The Light Within

The Light Within

There’s a light that burns within you, that illuminates your soul.
They say its always been there, steady bright and in control.
It’s the guiding spirit that drives you, as you live your life each day,
Shining a light on the darkest paths, as you walk along the way.
It’s the light outside the shadows, a lonely life can cast,
But if you look to feel it, the darkness will not last.
There’s a light of love within you, that illuminates your face,
A gentle warmth that surrounds you, when your heart is in that place.
The brightness of the spirit, and all the love you share,
Embracing it with a passion, nurturing it with care.
Within the light is life’s meaning, things close to the heart believed,
A summation of your life time, and all things you perceived.
Live the life within you, let the light shine through,
Sharing it with others, embraced by love so true.
The light that burns within you, the warmth of life’s desire,
Let it shine on brightly, true keeper of the fire.

One More Day.

One More Day

Lyrics: American songwriters, composers, Bobby Tomberlin and Steven D. Jones.
Vocals: American country music band ‘Diamond Rio’, latter band made up of Marty Roe (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Micah Schweinsberg (drummer), Jimmy Olander (lead guitar, banjo), Carson McKee (singer), Dan Truman (keyboards), and Dana Williams (bass guitar, baritone vocals).

One More Day

Last night I had a crazy dream.
A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything,
I didn’t ask for money,
Or a mansion in Malibu,
I simply wished for one more day with you.
One more day, one more time,
One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied,
But then again, I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.
One more day
First thing I’d do is pray for time to crawl.
I’d unplug the telephone and keep the TV off.
I’d hold you every second,
Say a million I love you’s.
That’s what I’d do with one more day with you.
One more day, one more time,
One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied,
But then again, I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.
One more day, one more time,
One more sunset maybe I’d be satisfied,
But then again I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day,
Leave me wishing still for one more day,
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.
One more day (one more day).

End.
