nothing
nothing you can say
nothing is gonna stop me
or get in my way
every feeling here
every idea begins
every fantasy laid bare
making my mind spin
I'm not turning back
I'm not gonna quit
I'm in way too deep
this love is way too thick
don't you feel the love?
don't you hear my heart?
don't you think it's time
to finally let it start?

all of these things
what makes you cry?
what you tell yourself
to just get by
the deep down truth
and what it means
I want to know
all of these things
your fantasies
your darkest night
the things you think
when your mind takes flight
your highest high
what you don't show
all of these things
I want to know
let me climb inside
and travel your mind
see it all first hand
and learn with time
that sets you aglow
all of these things
I want to know

ponder
I will not waste this precious time
wondering why my love won’t rhyme
or of dreams that do recede
like the tide on this vast sea
I will not ponder what to do
about a love that leaves me blue
plenty of time for that at home
when at night I lay alone
I will not squander hours here
it goes too fast then disappears
instead, I’ll enjoy this solitude
deciding later what to do about you

thief
like a thief in the night
coming in crescent light
you slip inside of me
stealing all of my dreams
what is a gal to do?
to get her mind off you
you stay when I awake
causing way too much heart ache
Heaven
it is in the clouds
and on this beach
sparkling on the sea
it is the moon and stars
reflecting on the ebbing tide
yes...
this is Heaven
this is where Your grace rests
and where I want to stay
it is where my spirit soars
and where my soul finds peace
it is heaven for me

honey do
a lot to be done I know
some trim needs to painted
the weeds are out of control
the pool is giving me fits
this paper isn't long enough
and I don't have a honey to do it
the garage light is not working
my shower could use some grout
what is a lonely girl to do
with all of these needs adrift
cause I don't have a honey to do it
