Sister Golden Hair

 

Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent
And I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle?
Will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little?
Just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I've been one poor correspondent
And I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle?
Will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little?
Just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

It is Okay to Miss Them

actions speak louder than words

 And when you break, you won't be the same person after you put yourself back together.

You'll be better. But there will be people who don't understand the way change looks on you or that the growth left pieces of the old you behind.

That's okay. This is the part where you let some people off at the next stop. This is your journey.

Not everyone is meant to ride the whole way.

Long Nights

 

Commitment

 

What I'm lookin' for Is a love that's forever Someone who can capture my soul in a heartbeat And stay for all time What I'm prayin' for Is a match made in heaven Someone who will worship my body And still put his heart on the line Commitment Someone who'll go the distance I need somebody with staying power Who'll make me go weak in the knees Commitment And everything that goes with it I need honor and love in my life from somebody Who's playin' for keeps What I'm searching for Is a man who'll stand by me Who will walk through the fire And be my flame in the night I won't settle for Less than what I deserve A friend and a lover who'll love me For the rest of my life Commitment Someone who'll go the distance I need somebody with staying power Who'll make me go weak in the knees Commitment And everything that goes with it I need honor and love in my life from somebody Who's playin' for keeps Yeah I've had promises broken Three words left unspoken They just left me achin' for more But I'll fight temptation I won't be impatient There's one thing that's worth waitin' for Commitment Someone who'll go the distance I need somebody with staying power who'll make me go weak in the knees Commitment And everything that goes with it I need honor and love in my life from somebody Who's playin' for keeps Commitment Someone who'll go the distance I need somebody with staying power who'll make me go weak in the knees Commitment And everything that goes with it I need honor and love in my life from somebody Who's playin' for keeps whoa yeah Commitment

The Pretender

 

I want to know what became of the changes

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater awakening

I’m going to find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we’ll fill in the missing colors

In each other’s paint-by-number dreams

And then we’ll put our dark glasses on

And we’ll make love until our strength is gone

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We’ll get up and do it again

Get it up again

Somebody's Someone

 

I.O.U.

 

You believe -
That l've changed your life forever
And you're never gonna find
Another somebody like me

And you wish -
You had more than just a lifetime
To give back all I've given you
And that's what you believe

But I.O.U.
The sunlight in the morning
And the nights of honest loving
That time can't take away

And I.O.U.
More than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay

I'm amazed -
When you say it's me you live for
You know that when I'm holding you
You're right where you belong

And my love -
I can't help but smile with wonder
When you tell me all I've done for you
'Cause I've known all along

That I.O.U.
The sunlight in the morning
And the nights of honest loving
That time can't take away

And I.O.U.
More than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay

Oh I.O.U. (I.O.U)
The sunlight in the morning
And the nights of honest loving
That time can't take away

And I.O.U. (I.O.U.)
More than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever --
Have to pay

On My Way To You

 

Always knew you
Even when I didn't know you
Don't make sense, but it do
I was on my way to you

Every teardrop fell so heavy
Hurt like hell
But heaven sent me through
I was on my way to you

And every heartbreak was a yellow brick road
Pointing me straight, just taking me home
I was never lost
I was just passing through
I was on my way to you

Hope was hopeless
Faith was running
Didn't notice you were coming through
You were on your way too

And you don't believe in meant to be
But somehow you were meant for me, it's true
Yeah, you were on your way too

And every heartbreak was a yellow brick road
Pointing me straight, just taking me home
I was never lost
I was just passing through
I was on my way to you
I was on my way to you
I was on my way to you
I was on my way to you

Oh, I'm on my way
On my way to you
On my way
On my way to you
On my way
On my way to you

Oh, I'm on my way
I'm on my way (on my way)
On my way (on my way)
On my way to you, oh

And every heartbreak was a yellow brick road
Pointing me straight, just taking me home
I was never lost
I was just passing through, on my way to you

On my way
On my way to you (ooh)
On my way
On my way to you (ooh)
On my way
On my way to you

Oh, my darling, I'm on my way

Thankful
