beautiful sunset

they asked why i smiled
as i watched the sunset
but i knew they wouldn’t understand
as joy filled my eyes
i began to realize
things may not be the same again
but i remembered long days
under east texas suns
when you told me how life used to be
i reminisce about things
that may have seemed small
but in my heart meant the world to me
i look at each day
and know in my soul
that you and i have more sunrises to come
and where you go now
one day i will follow
and we will both live in the light of the SON

- “let not your heart be troubled…i go to prepare a place for you”

orange crush

sippin' soda
on a sunny saturday afternoon
she asked
if i was alone
i said
alone is a state of mind
but i wouldnt mind a lil company

sippin' soda
on a sunny saturday afternoon
she asked
if i had any regrets
i said
if only we had met sooner
maybe our life wouldnt be the same

sippin' soda
on a sunny saturday afternoon
she asked
if i was ever in love
i said
i live in love
and love lives in me
and most night i wish
that she and i could be we

sippin' soda
on a sunny saturday afternoon
she asked
if we would ever touch again
i said
i would sell my soul
to feel your heart
beat against my chest

sippin' soda
on a sunny satruday afternoon
she asked
if i ever loved her
and before she could finish
i said
i loved you before we even met
you were left in my soul
from a previous life
and when close my eyes
i can see us
sippin soda
on a sunny saturday afternoon
