With You

Just as Yesterday
Today is just as yesterday, different though the sameThe sky is bluer, the trees more greenNights often brighter than the daysWe’ve been together longer than ever we’ve been apartTrudging through the thick, reveling in the thinWrapped around each other’s heart We were made for this, you and I, since long before we could dreamWe looked ahead to a life together and there we were, you and me We could not imagine the lives we’d shareNor the journey we might takeThe joy of our children each step of the wayAnd the pain as each heart would breakBut we made a choice, just as yesterday, to always do it togetherTo laugh, to…

Jesus, Be My Valentine
Through every high and low You have been there by my side Even in times I asked you to leave Or when I’d run and hide Through pain and bitter sorrow You have held me in your arms While in joyful celebrations All of heaven joined along Jesus, be my Valentine And I forever yours You give me life I give you praise You give me peace And I am amazed You give me hope You give me dreams You give me your love And I give you my life Jesus, be my Valentine And the world will know you’re mine Jesus, O, my love You make me a better…

I See You
You’re always on my mind You’re always on my heart I can’t imagine a world without you I love being your partner And I love being your friend But you can’t read my mind And you can’t feel my heart And I know I must express myself to you But circumstances separate us And the days get in the way But I lay here now at your feet And I let go all my fears Wanting nothing more than to hold you Even closer after all these years You are my everything Though I know it’s rarely shown I want to take you on an adventure Where only we can…

A Cord of Three
Ecclesiastes 4:12 As I walk down the path of righteousness I see you walking there With both arms holding onto Him Letting go – you do not dare But I see myself on His other side Holding on as well Asking if I can have this chance To hold you for just a spell So I let go with one arm, and draw you close to me You let go with yours, and now we’re one, you see Between us winds the wonderful part The part that makes us strong The part that makes us free The tighter we hold Him the stronger we’ll be Can’t break this cord of…

Best Friends
Time has passed But I think of you every single day — Of your love for me My friend you’ll be For eternity The world turns So I pray for you each and every day — For joy and peace And love at least ‘Til the wedding feast We’d never met But you loved me more Than any ever had — You cared for my soul You were strong, You were bold And made sure The Truth was told The days go by And I talk about you every day — Of the love you shared And how much you cared My soul lays bare The Time will come When…

The Man I Want to Be
I look back in my mind and see always something new All I am and all I wish to be comes straight from you Every day, in every way, I see your heart in me The things I do — the words I say — The man I want to be No turning back — I must look ahead To what the future will bring You’ve brought me so far But there’s so much left And so much more to sing… When I look in my heart I feel so much has gone But the song you put in there for me just leads me on Now each day I…

The Seasons
In the spring, when blossoms are born and life begins anew, Two Hearts became as one, with their Spirits, too, as true. The trees, in chorus, sang in joy; the oceans roared their praise; Earth trembled in exhilaration with as much noise as she could raise. In the summer all was warmer, and though the wind had settled down, Life was frolicking in the sun as the world turned ’round and ’round. They sang and danced and laughed and played. Happiness was consuming. Unaware of the changing world that threatened their very being. In the fall came much confusion, and heartache, and distress. So much, in fact, this Heart was…

Together
Though the years just pass us by We watch them as they go But they leave behind the joys and pains That only we can know Together we make history Taking pictures along the way Reminders of yesterday — Taking our hopes and dreams along for the ride They say some things Improve with age Which is true of my Love for you One’s weakness overcome By the other’s strength… Together what we can do We’ve made mistakes but no regrets We’re learning as we go Marching toward undiscovered country While the winds of change blow Others stroll the walk of Life Searching for the unknown Some brought together, some…

Quietly
On a moonlit night Which dreams do make I sang a familiar song One of passion One of power But inside I felt so wrong Something wasn’t there I was empty inside Missing something I knew Feeling sad Feeling alone For I was missing you I want to be there in your arms Holding you so close to me I want to be there in your heart Tenderly I want to be there with you now And feel you next to me When I tell you that I Love You Quietly I can feel your warmth So I try to sing But it only brings a tear For I’m still…
