Lay Me Down To Dream

The Dove'
by Brian Crain

Lay Me Down to Dream

Lay me down to dream, I said

And looked deep into your eyes

I am so tired and weary now

I need some lullabies.

Lay me down to dream, my love

My days have been so long

I need to rest upon your chest

I need to hear your song.

Lay me down to dream, I plead

My dreams have flown away

I cannot think or recall them

I don't know how to make them stay. 

But there within your gentle hands

And in your tender touch

Is every dream I've ever had

And all I love so much.

Pull me close there in your arms

And think of what I've said

Then when I'm calm, then lay your hands

Upon my weary head.

And transfer every dream in you

That you can give or spare

And send me to that land of dreams

Where I can meet you there.

I do not know the way, my love

I can't find it on my own

Bestow on me that precious gift

Known to yourself, alone.

I've traveled many miles, you know

On a recent treacherous route

And found myself in perilous places

With no one to lead me out.

But there were angels and there was you

And the good Lord up above

And He blessed me with a road map back

And a light made out of love.

And I've come back from darkest dark

With a new mission, it does seem

But I need you now to sing me to sleep

And lay me down to dream.

Watching You

Can't Help Falling




Watching You


Watching you walk down the stairs
My glad heart skips a beat

I pick you out of every crowd
On every crowded street

I see you in the moonlight
And every ray of sun

The night wind whispers your blessed name
And the birds sing, "He's the one"

I feel your sweetness in every smile
I see your face in dreams

I taste your kiss in every raindrop
See your image in every stream

You're with me everywhere I go
Even when I go to sleep

Your memory reaches up your arms
And pulls me down so deep

Till you're in every part of me
And I'm in your every part

I'll love you more each passing day
Till there's no room left in my heart.

Running Away With You

Play both @same time


sea sounds




Running Away With You


I set out on the sea of love
One dark and daunting night
I only wanted to find my love
And kiss and hold him tight.

I didn't know the way to go
To bring him back to me
I only knew that he was there
Across the salty sea.

I sent him letters by mermaids
By dolphins and by birds
But I don't know if he received
Or read a single word.

I wrote him ballads in my heart
And sang them to the sky
But I don't know if he heard my songs
Or my solemn, saddened cry.

So I packed my little boat
And set out on the sea
Trusting angels to help me find
That love so far from me.

And when I find my dear one
I tell you what I'll do
I'll tell him the "next time you run away"
I'm running away with you!

We Are Like Trees

We Are Like Trees

We are like trees

Our roots go deep

Even as our branches are lopped off

By life and love and loss

Our roots go deep

And try to hang on

To every bit of life

Every drop of love

And even when it appears

That we are dead or dying on the outside

The scent of love's rain will revive us

And make us stand up on the inside
And reach out for life again.

Job 14:7

“For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,

 And that its tender shoots will not cease.

All The Roots Grow Deeper
by David Wilcox

Spiegel im Spiegel
(one of my very favorite
pieces of music)

Your Eyes Are Like....

 

Ocean Eyes

Your Eyes Are Like....


Your eyes are like the ocean
Deeper than the sea
And swimming there inside their depths
Is where I want to be.

Your eyes are like the heavens
Up above my head
Sending signals to my brain
Demanding to be read.

Your eyes are like soft rainy days
And sometimes like a storm
Blazing up with passion's fire
To make my cold heart, warm.

Your eyes are like twin mirrors
Hear me, yes, it's true
I see me in your eyes of love
And in my eyes, you see you.

Your eyes are my jewels and my gold
My silver shining sea
And joyous I live now I've found you
And your eyes shine on me.
