A jay sat on the window ledge
Of the building opposite mine
She sang aloud in good range
Sounding astoundingly fine
Her wordless song I heard in dreams
Minutes before awakening
That melody was blazed in beams
I cannot be mistaken in
That it was you, who came along
To sing a song for me
To reassure I’m not alone
And you are here to see
How I’ll be doing through the day
Another day that goes
Without you, my singing jay
With song that needs no words
When I feel lonely,
And I miss you,
I listen to you sing,
To help carry me through.
I close my eyes,
And pretend you're here,
I listen to you sing,
Everywhere.
Then I open my eyes,
Because the song is done,
So I close them again,
And begin a new one.
Your voice carries me away,
From my troubles on Earth,
Troubles I've had,
Since the day of my birth.
I'm sorry when the songs are over,
And I've listened to them all,
When I was listening to them,
I felt a bit tall.
I can't wait until I see you,
To record a new song,
TThen I can listen to it,
All day long.
Some days are happy, others are sad.
Some days are good ones, others are bad.
Some days are all things rolled into one.
Each day is a memory that's only begun.
Now that you're mine all my blues are behind.
To know that I've found you brings joy to my heart.
Just promise me that you will stay
And we shall never part.
Some days bring sunshine, others bring rain.
Some days bring pleasure, others bring pain.
Each day brings something to hold on to.
And, oh, how I treasure the one that brought you.
Now that you're mine all my blues are behind.
To know that I've found you brings joy to my heart.
Just promise me that you will stay
And we shall never part.
To know that tomorrow you'll still be mine --
To know that all sorrow is left far behind --
When it's all over, when it's all through --
we'll still have the memories to hold on to.
I won’t dream in circles next to you
And before I wake I’ll pray
That for me you’ll stay one more day,
Just one more you’ll stay with me.
Colors and shapes of every size
Form behind my wavered eyes.
You breathe slow and hold my face;
I drift off, lost in grace.
Before I go to make my way;
With a longing kiss I’ll silently pray
You’ll hold me close and ask me to stay,
You’ll ask of just one more day with me,
One more day you’ll ask me to stay, with you.
I know that we can’t lay here forever,
But all I want is one more day, one more day together.
I've loved u ever since day one
and day two just made my life even more fun
even though i don't know how u feel
im askin myself can this be real
can i tell u i thought about u from day and night
i wanna hold u tight
never let u out of my site
i wanna show u with every line i write
that with me baby we can make this right
even though ur scared
and not prepared
ima tell u girl that we can be compared
as if we where that 1 to 2
i want u to be my girl and this is true
my love can go through patterns of red and blue
but my love is more of a confession that im tellin u?
Lately I’ve been stuck in a daydream land.Wishing I could figure out a better way in this life’s plan. Because In July I will be turning 28- oh yeah I am getting older. Which makes me want to live a little slower, and put a hold on time.
So I can cherish each and every hour
So I can cherish each and every minute
So I can cherish each and every second
For just a little longer…
So I can re-visit blurry memories from the past and hold loved ones just a little stronger. Before having to say Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.But lately I been stuck in a day dream land running threw beaches of sand and fields of beautiful flowers and each and every peddle I pick off a flower,I just pray that every day ….
I can cherish each and every hour
I can cherish each and every minute
I can cherish each and every second…..
Without regrets live a little boulder knowing that each and every step I take
And every breath I take there is something to be thankful for…
So I cherish each and every hour…….
So I cherish each and every minute…..
So I cherish each and every second……
I sunbathed on the surface of mercury.
I windsailed on the sand dunes of mars.
I gazed upon venus and from my memory.
It was the most lovely by far, but that
was until the day I saw you,
from across the universe. I couldn't help
notice how beautiful was your blue,
and that's all it was worth.
and I like to fly far away from here.
across the galaxy to be within your
atmosphere. Whoa, time is just an ocean
that i'll brave to sail.
For a chance to say hello to you.
I bid farewell.
Raindrops are falling on my head
as I rest on a lonely world that lies
between us. But don't think for a second
that I've been mislead. If you look out you'll
see me riding on the back of pegasus, and a
million years i'll still be on my way. So don't
dare try to say it's all a lie, because if you're
willing wait then baby marked this day until
the day you see me streaking through your sky.
and I like to fly far away from here.
across the galaxy to be within your
atmosphere. Whoa, time is just an ocean
that i'll brave to sail.
For a chance to say hello to you.
I bid farewell
Some things are there that wakes me as I sleep,
They are the dreams of mine aroused in my nights.
The day today and those were passed yesterday were timeless,
But clusters of their memories fill my mind in my nights.
Now the voice of revelation sounds in the thoughts,
That surprised me giving an intangible world in my nights.
And a day when I sights my heart-crush,
A feeling of loneliness appears very inane in my nights.
Next day thought which make me humane clicked to me,
When I thought I am not considerate in my nights
Some things are there that wakes me as I sleep,
They are the dreams of mine aroused in my nights.
The day today and those were passed yesterday were timeless,
But clusters of their memories fill my mind in my nights.
Now the voice of revelation sounds in the thoughts,
That surprised me giving an intangible world in my nights.
And a day when I sights my heart-crush,
A feeling of loneliness appears very inane in my nights.
Next day thought which make me humane clicked to me,
When I thought I am not considerate in my nights
“It's not a cry you can hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.”
This is my favorite quote from the song Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright because it is a sad yet uplifting song that tells about the trouble of the world in their attempt of piety and holy praise. It also speaks personally to me because of the troubles I have faced. The melody is beautiful, done on a piano, and this composition is moving. it brings me memories of my Grandma's sudden and painful death, and so I cherish it with prideful tears.
The dark hunter howls with ferocious pride.
Yet you cannot hear it at the bed side.
A happy day this day should be,
Yet it's not for you, nor for me.
For Death is cold and overbearing.
The pain of grief we end up sharing.
The song you sing should bring a smile,
This stain of death gives Holy defile.
Cold and broken is this night.
He's going down, there is no fight.
The silver tears pour down our face,
For this is no Hallelujah place.
Rufus Wainwright- "Hallelujah"

Raindrops fall
All day long!
A yellow bird sings –
What a joy it brings!
Raindrops fall
All day long!
Now monsoon wind blows –
You and I are close!
The yellow frogs croak
No it’s not a joke!
Raindrops fall
All day long!
There are so many days in a year
Can I be entitled to just one of those days
The birds song, streaming through my window
On a day that is not so beautiful
A cold wet day and these birds still sing a song so beautiful
Maybe a song of happiness
Maybe a song for love
Just one day of love is all that I ask
Just one day of lust is all you can give
As the days pass and the nights linger
I can only hope for the one day with you
The one day forever
For the rest of my life
All I can do is wait
every day my age is growing colder
so every day my life feels a bit more breezy
i know i make this stuff seem easy
its just the way i talk and that's poetically
i don't need to please the, i only need to please me
you see if you like my music than listen to it
if not well screw it, this is how i do it
i don't need your statements, or opinions
I'm just being me, spitting lyrical minions
my brains like my world, n my lyrics are civilians
many coming in and many going out

Well I'm not shy but I've never been bold
I'll be in between till the day I'm old
Couldn't be richer but I don't have money
I'm footloose and just like a bee in honey
Hey say what will you do
Don't want to sleep when the day is through
I'm just what I am and I'm not what I seem
All my life I'm in between
Never got lost but I've not been found
Sang alot of songs and never made a sound
Always been lonely and I've always been loved
Stood my ground but I still got shoved
Hey say what will you do
Don't want to sleep when the day is through
I'm just what I am and I'm not what I seem
All my life I'm in between
The angels are in the sky today
Verse1
The angels are in the sky today
Holding me forever in their loving embrace
Keep my heart body and soul safe
Yes the angels give me the strength
To take life as it comes day
By day through both joy and pain
The sweetest miracles that god ever made
Filling my life with happiness and total love
Chorus
The angels are in the sky today
They bring such a smile of joy to my face
And I know that I’ll always
Be safe guiding by his ever lasting love
The sky has never been a deeper blue
Or has the sun eve been so golden but with the power of faith
Loving in the power of the fathers embrace
Everyday seems like a brand new day
Verse2
The angels are in the sky today
The angels watching over us from way up
In sweet heaven above
There gods special gift of love
To each and everyone of us
So if you worried about the feature to come
Let your faith in the lord above
Be your saving grace
