Back to Where You\u2019ve Been<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<=><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re leaving on your own<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

journeying alone<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

back to where you\u2019ve been,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to everyone you knew then<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, you will be gone<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you are traveling on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I Travel From Star To Star<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I travel from star to star,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll remember where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re the reason why<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t want to say goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the place where I\u2019ll be,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there are friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You still have life to live,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you\u2019ve much to learn and give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your time on Earth is thru,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

again I\u2019ll be with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Think Of Our Love<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<=><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watch all the stars with their twinkling glow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Stare at the moon, casting shadows below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re not the same when I watch on my own.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the same when I stand here alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, the sun will soon rise up and shine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, the clouds in new shapes will combine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, the song birds will wake up and sing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, tomorrow, fond memories will bring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts of you walking here by my side.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts which the shadows of time cannot hide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories of happiness, memories of tears.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories which help me forget all my fears.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look all around me, below and above.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all that I see now, I think of our love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re My Companion, You’re My Friend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<=><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look in the mirror, where you used to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You always stood here, along with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there are shadows, and memories past.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is the life, that we thought would last.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the hopes, and the dreams that we had.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of our happy thoughts, now are sad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time keeps on moving, steadily on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someday, the sadness, and tears will be gone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even tho I can’t see you, I know you’re still near.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This love that we now have, will always be here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[You can see our children, asleep on my arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise, I’ll love them, and keep them from harm.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no beginning, there’s no end.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re my companion, you’re my friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Child Of Ours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<-><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little child of ours,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

can you see the moon and stars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they share their light,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

on a long, and lonely night.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tho, you\u2019re on your own,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you are not alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your heart we\u2019re there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All your hopes and dreams we share.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remember, when you were young.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your life story, was yet unsung.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you sang, your gentle song,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

we were there, to sing along,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tho, it came, your time to go,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

your melody, we know.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you sing from far away,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hear your, melody, today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
