If Only I Had Known

If only I had known
It was my last night with you
The last time
I could touch your face
And listen to you breathe
In a quiet place
So why did you have to walk away
Why did you have to go
How could you just leave me there
With no one to hold
Why did you have to walk away
I wish I would have known
And held you a little closer
If only I had known
If only I had known
I would have held you just right
The last time
And loved you all night
And said all the things
I've held inside
If only I had known
I would have given you my all
The first time
But You said goodbye
A You let me go
If only I had known
You said goodbye
You let me go
If only I had known
It was the last time
The last time with you...so....

Dreamer

Under the moon so mighty
You tread on my heart so lightly
You said, “Tonight’s the night we catch the stars”
You said that you loved me
As the fireflies shone brightly
Those word’s cathartically let me say goodbye
The only problem’s the truth
That you didn’t say those words at all
I just sat beside you
Staring blankly at the wall
Cause I’m a dreamer
Baby, I’m a dreamer
Come be a dreamer with me
I’m a dreamer
Baby, I’m a dreamer
Come be a dreamer with me
You looked into my eyes
To my soul that resides
Nestled, telling me to rest my head upon your shoulder
You said that I can trust you
And together we can get through
Any type of blue
I should have listened to my mama
Who said listen only to yourself
As I watched this play out like a drama
I pulled back away from myself
Cause I’m a dreamer
Baby, I’m a dreamer
Come be a dreamer with me
I’m a dreamer
Baby, I’m a dreamer
Come be a dreamer with me
Lost forever I’m dancing round and round
I’m dizzy but finding my two feet
I never expected to find that I could fly
When an anchor was lifted from my chest
Cause making amends is harder, but I know
That I’m happier than I’ve ever been before
Cause if we’re singing by the fire
We’re calling out each other’s names
Than the night is ours to master
And I’ll be a dreamer for you

Her Day, Someday
04:38

Candlelight tonight,
we are stars so bright.
Remembering our voices as our footsteps carry on.
Two ships in the wind,
carrying us home.
The ocean is big enough for the two of us to roam.
We resist. We defy,
all the empty gravitas that flies.
In our face, we deflect and conquer
toward the future that was
written for the hands of our mothers.
Catalyze the night,
Generations strong.
Divided only by the ground that we are marching on.
Little one holds the hand,
of history tall and grey.
Both recognizing this will be her day, someday.
We are marching on the street tonight. Brothers and sisters
are holding tight. Remembering when our souls pound the
floor as our voices carry on.

Lazy Sunday Paramour

Call me by my first name
Make yourself at home in my heart
Settle in baby, 'cause, the shows ‘bout to start
The air feels cool against my skin now
Mm, but you’re warm to the touch
You’re telling me everything, though you don’t say much
Sway, Sway
Leave all worries at the door
Sway Sway
Lazy Sunday paramour
‘Cause I’ll be yours forever
It feels nice to take it slow now
The rat race still nipping at my heels
Now I just listen, 'cause you're all I wanna hear
My feet keep movin’
But I don’t go far
This time my distance is measured by your smile
Sway, Sway
Leave all worries at the door
Sway Sway
Lazy Sunday paramour
‘Cause I’ll be yours forever
Sway, Sway
Sway, Sway
Sway, Sway
Sway, Sway

To Be Over You
02:57
|

It’s, it’s amazing how time,
really does heal, heals this pain
And, the memories of you,
slowly begin, begin to fade
It’s like the wind,
swirling the sand
It stings for a moment
and then it’s gone
‘Cause it’s so good to be,
to be over you.
And now my heart can beat again.
I tore the letter you wrote to me
as I watched you leave.
Finally
Free
I've, I’ve made mistakes
But not anymore, I’m ready to move on
I've, I’ve washed the stain
The stain from my heart
The scars from my soul
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to fly
Starting this moment
I'm saying goodbye
‘Cause it’s so good to be,
to be over you.
And now my heart can beat again.
I tore the letter you wrote to me
as I watched you leave.
Finally
Free
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to fly
Starting this moment
I'm saying goodbye
‘Cause it’s so good to be,
to be over you.
And now my heart can beat again.
I tore the letter you wrote to me
as I watched you leave.
Finally
Free

Hallowed eyes
Searching the skies for meaning
Frantically trying
To answer for your hurting
Come back to me baby
Lay your shoes by the door
Let me kiss your pain away
Ne Pleure Pas Mon Amour
Wistful eyes
Looking through lies for meaning
Hands clasped tight
To a prayer with no reply
Come back to me baby
Lay your shoes by the door
Let me kiss your pain away
Ne Pleure Pas
What would you do babe
With your shadow at the door?
I’m right here with you
Ne Pleure Pas
