Gratefully

Written in 2007 when I made the decision to change the way I viewed my life.  I decided to be grateful no matter what....

VS 1:

Every morning I wake up with a smile on my face

No illusions, no clouds, no obstacles stand in my way.

I'm just so thankful to be alive this moment this day.

There is no way I can lose when I decide to choose

To live my best life gratefully.

CHORUS:

I will be grateful until the sun and stars don't shine.

I will be grateful as an example for mankind.

I will be grateful. I don't think anyone will mind

If I live my best life gratefully.

VS 2:

Every morning I wake up with the sun on my face.

I find my focus, I set my course, then I run this human race.

And I'm determined that I will either win or place!

There is no way I can lose when I decide to choose

To live my best life gratefully.

CHORUS:

Pretty Is As Pretty Does

Pretty is as pretty does. Pretty is as pretty does. Pretty is as pretty does.  It's beautiful inside. Saw you reflecting in the mirror.  You caught my eye as I walked by.  I hate to be one of those starers, if I look closer I might find you're beautiful inside. Oh yeah.  I watched you dancing with the children their tiny faces wide with smiles.  You lift them high up on your shoulders so they can see for miles and miles.  You're beautiful inside.  Pretty is as pretty does. Pretty is as pretty does. You've got some quirks in your expressions, you've got some wrinkles, so have I.  I love your sexy southern drawling you're just as sweet as apple pie.  Yes you are, my my.  I think I'd like to get to know you if first impressions count at all. Why don't you let me get your coffee? Will that be venti, grande or tall? You're beautiful inside.  Uh huh! Pretty is as pretty does. Pretty is as pretty does. I said pretty is as pretty does you know that pretty is as pretty does. Oh yeah it's beautiful inside.

Losing You

You used to hold my love with tender hands.  And we were more than lovers we were forever friends.  Now I see a distant look in your eye, smoldering embers of a fire about to die.  It would take more than a gentle wind to stir these embers back to life again, but with my every breath I'm gonna try.  I can't live without your love.  Losing you would be like losing me.  I love you too much to set you free. I could give you wings and let you fly but you know if you do you would see that losing me would be like losing you. Do you remember when our love was exciting?  Sparks were flying and the fire ignited. Now I see a distant look in your eye and I'd do anything to keep this love alive.  It would take more than a gentle wind to stir these embers back to life again.  But with my every breath I'm gonna try.  I can't live without your love.  Losing you would be like losing me.  I love you too much to set you free.  I could give you wings and let you fly but you know if you do you would see that losing me would be like losing you.  And we're so good together baby we'd be no good apart.  No way to separate us.  We're joined at the heart. Yeah.   It would take more than a gentle wind to stir these embers back to life again.  But with my every breath I'm gonna try.  I can't live without your love.  Losing you would be like losing me.  I love you too much to set you free.  I could give you wings and let you fly but you know if you do you would see that losing me would be like losing you. You know losing me would be like losing you.

Holding Out From Holding You

I wanna feel you touch me.  My body aches inside.  And every night without you here a little of me dies.  Can't stand the thought of knowing you're with somebody else and I tremble with a jealous rage and only blame myself.  For holding out from holding you afraid to let you know how much I really need your love and I wanna let it show.  But I'm holding back the passion afraid of what you'll say and I don't want to turn you off or make you run away.  Oh, night after night I hold you and love you in my dreams. I'm tortured, tempted, trembling calling out your name.  I'm totally wrapped up in you, caught up in your spell.  I'm so in love it has to show but maybe you can't tell.  Maybe your holding out from holding me, afraid to let me know how much you really need my love and you wanna let it show but you're holding back the passion afraid of what I'll say and you don't want to turn me off or make me run away. I'm  holding out from holding you afraid to let you know how much I really need your love and I wanna let it show.  But I'm holding back the passion afraid of what you'll say and I don't want to turn you off or make you run away. I'm holding out from holding you afraid to let you know how much I really need your love....now I'm letting you know.

Beautiful You

I like the way you are kind to all creatures it's one of the features I love most about you.  And you've got a heart that is filled with compassion for those who are helpless and you are so generous too.  Beautiful You.  I find it a amazing the way you perceive things about me before I know them myself.  You cry when I'm crying, smile when I'm smiling, you're thinking about me and I can't stop thinking of you. Beautiful You, Beautiful You, Beautiful You.  I like that dimple in the crease of your cheek 'cause it makes you so kissable, so irresistible, you crinkle your nose when you laugh sometimes, your eyes they just twinkle when there's mischief inside of you. Beautiful You, Beautiful You, Beautiful You. You're like the bridge over my troubled waters.  Yours are the arms I run into. Your love flows like life through my veins.  You're every breath I take. You watch too much football and American Idol and you're kind of crazy when it comes to your cats.  You pull out a hanky when I get the sniffles...your kiss makes me tremble and your touch makes me want more of you. Beautiful You, Beautiful You, Beautiful You.  Beautiful You, Beautiful You, Beautiful You. Beautiful, Beautiful.

Once In A Lifetime Love

Dreams come true.  Believe them enough they do.  I dreamt of you.  I knew that I would be your once in a lifetime love, you'd open up and give your heart to me.  I wished on a star that I could be where you are.  Never far, my heart beating time with yours. My once in a lifetime love, here in your arms is where I long to be.  Baby you're my knight in shining armor, prince charming rolled into one.  Everything that I desire is magically already done.  And I'm the one you're dreaming of and I will be your once in a lifetime love.  You said I love you.  You whispered the words and I knew I'd promise to love you for all my life.  My once in a lifetime love our hearts entwined for all eternity.  Baby you're my knight in shining armor, prince charming rolled into one. Anything  that I desire is magically already done.  And I'm the one you're dreaming of and I will be your once in a lifetime...I'm the one you're dreaming of and I will be your once in a lifetime... love.
