Visit Home


A weekend full of memories
a precious visit home
Could almost hear a voice or two
"How long will you still roam?"

The high school looks the same to me
but no one goes there now
In silence there, she waits and hopes
they'll all come back somehow...

The Teen Club where we all would meet
has closed and locked the door
The pretty girls we loved so much
don't dance there anymore...

The lake still draws me to its shore
a mystery still to me
How I loved to be there then 
when we were young and free...

Somehow I sense the friends I knew
they gather sometimes here
Oh wouldn't it be wonderful
if they would all appear...

I Still Love You


I thought of you today my friend
a chuckle, and a smile
So many happy memories
in such a little while...

I wonder how you are today
and do you think of me
Oh how I'd love to hear your voice
your face, I long to see...

I used to stop beside your desk
a flower, sometimes two
Long before the others came
my thoughts were all of you...

I sometimes close my eyes to see
the beauty of your face
The memories that I have of you
my heart cannot erase...

Be happy where you are tonight
rejoice in all you do
If I could whisper in your ear
I'd say, I still love you...

Babe


Through the ups and through the downs
I always loved you Babe
So many memories in our life
the family that we made...

You still illuminate my heart
my bright and shining light
Tonight you shine with other stars
oh what a wonderous site...

Once Again


A comfort and a peace I have
an overwhelming calm
The troubles that tormented me
they're all destroyed and gone...

You moved the heavens and the earth
to help me once again
The wonder of amazing grace
the joy I have within...
