I Could Simply Fly Away

I could simply fly away if I wanted to,

But I know that I may never find another dream like you.

I could simply fly away if I wanted to,

Nothing's keeping me from growing wings now that my dream's come true,

But I know a dream is less than love,

It's a something meant to be our guardian angels wove,

And being here with you and a dream bring's back such memories,

I always know that love contained some mystery,

But as is the way with mysteries I never knew what that mystery could be,

I only know that I have found it now that you're here with me.

I could simply fly away if I wanted to,

But they say once you fly the dream ends,

I could simply fly away if I wanted to,

But I think I'll stay and accept the blessings that love sends.

I never quite understood people who thought they could fly,

I thought that any human would fall if they touched the sky,

But I understand completely now that you've set me free,

A dream is nothing compared with a memory.

I could simply fly away if I wanted to,

But all I really want is to stay right here with you.

< This is a really long one I just randomly came up with while matching socks the other day. Although it doesn't make much sense, I thought it was really pretty, and had to write it down quickly in my poetry notebook before I forgot it. Thanks to Gooey for bringing the notebook to me, since I forgot it in my room when I got on. :) >

Spoof On Amarillo Sky

Dark and Stormy Sky

 We just take our feet another round,

And pull ourselves up of the ground,

And send up another prayer,

We say, Lord I know I complain and maybe ask why,

But please don't let my best friend die,

Underneath, underneath,

This dark and stormy sky.

< This is a spoof on the refrain for Amarillo sky. If you want the full lyrics of the original song, I'm posting them on Buzz. Or, if you aren't on Buzz, I can send them to you. Good song.  :) >

All Hurt And Friendless

Same Tune as God of All Hopefullness, God of all Joy:

All hurt and Friendless: The Lord is for you!

While others would smite you He'll always be true,

He'll strengthen you in weakness and dry all your tears,

And when you need a friend He is sure to be near.

<This is the first stanza of a hymn I wrote for a friend a long time ago. Unfortunately, I gave them my only copy with out thinking and it's not in the hymnal, so this is all I can remember. 3:)>

I Wan'na Be Like You Spoof

Now I'm the Queen of the Singers,

Oh, the song-writer VIP,

I've reached the top,

And had to stop,

And that's what's bothering me.

I wan'na be a musician, like you Bach,

And compose right through the town,

And be just like the other writers,

I'm tired of piddling around!

Oh, oobee doo,

I wan'na be like you,

I wan'na play like you,

Sing like you, too,

You'll see it's true,

And amateur like me,

Can learn to be great too.

( Gee, cousin Beethoven,

You're doin' real good,

Now here's your part of the deal, cuz,

Lay the secret on me of Chopin's great talent,

But I don't have his talent!)

Now don't try to kid me, Tchaikovsky,

I made a deal with you,

What I desire is Chopin's great talent,

To make my dream come true,

Give me the secret, Brahm's,

Clue me what to do,

Give me the power,

To sing in the shower,

So I can be like you,

You!

I wan'na be like you,

I wan'na sing like you,

Play like you, too,

You'll see it's true,

Someone like me,

Can learn to be,

Like someone like me,

Can learn to be,

Like someone like you,

Can learn to be,

Like someone like me!

< This is a not-so-good spoof on the I Wan'na Be Like You in the Jungle Book. I plan to try some more spoofs for this song, just because it's more challenging than some of the other things I've tried, and this one didn't turn out as nicely as I wanted. Try it yourself and send me what you get! >

I'm Not There

I swing so I can reach higher, higher,

And I sing 'cause the sky is bluer there.

I let my hair down 'cause I'm free and wild,

Yeah, inside I'm still a child,

But there's no taming me.

Oh, an' I'm a beautiful rose but I've got thorns,

And I'm gonna hurt you ,

Yeah, you can believe the things they say when I'm not there,

Hey, I'm not there,

Hey I'm not there,

Yeah, 'Cause I'm not there for you.

< This is a stupid song, but what the hey. I made it up yesterday when we were at the park and decided to write it down when I got home. I'm not sure why... >

I Suppose That's Why They Call It Fall

Everything's falling, falling, falling,

The sun, the leaves, and the spirits of all.

Everything's falling, falling, falling,

I suppose that's why they call it Fall.

Things'll start falling, falling anew,

The snow and rain and spirits of all,

Things'll start falling, falling anew,

I suppose that's why they call it Fall.

< I thought I wrote more for this song, but I guess not. At least, I can't remember what else I would have written... >

If I Died Tomorrow

REFRAIN:

If I died tomorrow I want to dance today,

I want to let my hair get in my way,

I want to talk and sing and laugh and cry,

I want to do all these things,

If tomorrow I die.

They say we should live everyday as if it were our last,

Well, there really isn't anything I can do about the past,

But if I started now I'd do things differently,

I wouldn't care about the people there when I cry and sing.

If tomorrow were my last day I would read up every book,

I would tell my friends I love them and ignore that funny look,

I would hug them and kiss them and not tell them so they don't cry,

Those are the things I'd want to do if I knew I was going to die.

REFRAIN

< I didn't realize this much of my song actually got saved! This isn't everything I wrote, but hey, at least it's part of it, so I'll share it. Man, if the whole thing would have been saved, this would have been awesome! >

Keepin' This Corner Company

I know you're feeling worried,

But I promise it's okay,

You think I'm missing all the fun,

But I don't want to play.

And I'm not feeling lonely,

Yeah, I've got a friend with me

I'm just keeping this corner company.

Yeah, you maybe don't understand how this can be any fun,

But I don't really feel like talking to anyone,

I'll just watch you dancing and hum to my hearts content,

'Cause everyone wants to be alone every now and then.

I know you're feeling worried,

But I promise I'm okay,

You think I'm missing all the fun,

But I don't want to play,

And I'm not feeling lonely,

Yeah, I've got a friend with me,

I'm just keeping this corner company.

Yeah, the corner doesn't mind listening to the stupid things I say,

Sometimes it's the only one keeping me from running away,

And the corner never tells me things I'd rather never know,

We became the best of friends long, long, long ago.

I know you're feeling worried,

But I promise it's okay,

You think I'm missing all the fun,

But I don't want to play,

And I'm not feeling lonely,

Yeah, I've got a friend with me,

I'm just keeping this corner company.

All the things that you said when you thought I wasn't there,

I just tell them to my corner, 'cause no one else would care,

That way when I'm with you I can keep a cheerful face,

But for the moment I really just need some space.

I know you're feeling worried,

But I promise it's okay,

You think I'm missing all the fun,

But I don't want to play,

And I'm not feeling lonely,

Yeah, I've got a friend with me,

I'm just keeping this corner company,

Yeah, I'm just keeping this corner company,

You don't have to worry 'bout me,

This corner's just a'keeping me company.

<This is not a spoof. I guess most of my things aren't really. Sorry my songs are few and far between. I'd post more, but most of the songs I write aren't very good. this one probably could use some editing. I almost posted a pretty good one the other day but the internet farted and I can't remember any of it. :P :)>

Eyes Do

REFRAIN:

Maybe I do,

Maybe I don't,

I could tell you,

But maybe I won't,

See, mouths don't always say what's true,

But Eyes Do.

I'm just sitting here pretending that everything's okay,

I don't really mind be lonely for one more day,

If you asked me than I'd tell you that I'm feeling fine,

But I'd appreciate your asking, even just to pass the time.

REFRAIN

If you'd ask me if I'd dance with you I'd say I wouldn't dare,

Still, I'd appreciate your asking, so I'd know someone still cares,

It gives me such a headache to see the people stare,

It makes me want to close my eyes and hide behind my hair.

REFRAIN

I'd sure like someone to talk to,
I wouldn't mind if it was you.
If not, I'll jsut be happy,
Talkin' to no one but me.
REFRAIN

I'd tell myself it isn't long before we say goodbye,
And I would tell myself that I'm not going to cry,
But insid I am still fighting to make myself stand tall,
Instead of always backing up against a wall.
REFRAIN

You know when I get home I will go into my room,

And have myself a lovely dance with the kind old broom,

That is the very first time I'll be happy all nigh long,

Singing to my heart's content an Eeyore kind of song.

REFRAIN

So don't serve me any wedding cake with flowers on the top,

Just turn on some waltzing music and bring out my friend the mops,

Don't try to make me wear a dress and lot's of pretty things,

I'll be content to trounce around in slippers and blue jeans.

REFRAIN

All The Way From Nowhere
