LYRIC

Intro

Morning light upon your face,
Every moment feels like grace.
Hand in hand, we chase the days,
Time can’t steal what we’ve embraced.

Verse

We’ve been laughing through the years,
Turning troubles into cheers.
Every step has brought us near,
To the love that keeps us here.

Pre-Chorus

If the world should fade away,
I’d still want you every day.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

Verse 

Every wrinkle tells a tale,
Every storm we’ve set the sail.
Through the highs and through the lows,
Love’s the only truth we know.

Pre-Chorus

Even when the night is long,
We’ll keep singing our own song.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

Bridge

Love’s the anchor, love’s the flame,
Through the years it stays the same.
If I had one vow to make,
It’s forever, no mistake.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

outro

Forever

This song is about finding warmth and comfort in love during the colder, darker days of autumn. For me, it’s about how someone’s presence can make everything feel safe and bright, even when the world turns grey. It’s a reminder that love can be our calm through any storm.

Verse 1
Leaves are falling down the lane,
Windows glow, the streets remain.
Cold wind hums a quiet tune,
But I feel warm when I’m with you.

Golden fields are turning brown.
We walk slow beneath the trees,
Your hand in mine, that’s all I need.

You paint the colors back in time.
And even when the daylight fades,

Outro

October Rain

Thank you Lord for watchin' over us
We get impatient and make a fuss
But because of your grace and love
We've got a place awaiting us up above

We all must stand, before Your throne
We trust not man, but in Your love alone
It was your plan to make for us a home
You sent your lamb, who for sin atoned

Your mercy covers me, and in my mind I know
My sin was crimson, now I'm whiter than snow
We all must stand -- before your throne
It was your plan, to make for us a home

We all must stand before Your throne
We trust not man, but Your love alone
It was your plan to make for us a home
You sent your lamb, who for sin atoned
 
Thank you Lord for Your grace and your love
And for your Spirit that descends like a dove
Help us show grace, not condemn or judge
We've got a place, awaiting us up above

You've made for us a place
We're redeemed n saved
It's a free gift from God
Not by deeds, but by faith

So open up Your gates
We run to win the race
Thank You for Your love
And Your amazing grace

You've made for us a place
So open up your gates
We run to win the race
Can't wait to see Your face

You've made for us a place
Can't wait to see Your face
You've made for us a place
Can't wait to see Your face 

Stand Before Your Throne

We love You cuz You first loved us, we hunger and thirst for your touch
We come from dust, but it’s You we trust, You died the just for the unjust                     
But we threw You under the bus, traded love for lust, Lady Justice has been 
Corrupted, traded love for a fake gold nugget                                            

 [Chorus]
If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills n thrills n rock and roll   
We’re losin’ hold, the fruit we stole we traded in, we traded in for fool’s gold

Filthy and jaded, guilty and naked, God we can’t make it on our own                       
My faith was shaken, I felt forsaken, I was a long, long ways from home            
You’re the potter + we are the clay, Heavenly Father 
You’re acquainted with all of our ways
    
You saved my soul, broke my chains on the rock, hope my name’s on the 
Roll / You paid my toll, said to ask and knock, seek and I’d find that pot of 
Gold… if truth be told                                   

It ain’t no joke, I’d given up hope, then I gave you full control 
You made me whole, saw me as a diamond in the rough when I was just         
A lump of coal 

If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills n thrills n rock and roll
We’re losin’ hold, the fruit we stole we traded in  for fool’s gold                                        
So make me bold, sin has taken it’s toll 
But He claimed victory on the cross                                                  
When they rolled away the stone   
Yeah My feet are planted on the rock and 
My name is written on the roll

So don’t lose hope, He threw me a rope
Ain’t no joke, it’s a slippery slope
Don’t sell your soul
For fool’s gold          
For fool’s gold

Fool's Gold

Song about a broken-hearted man who can't stop drinking as he recalls his mistakes and missed opportunities.

He pulled out her letter and read it over again
The one she wrote night she up and left him  
It was one part never there, two parts unprepared
Add a dash of despair and there you have it: 
The recipe for a broken heart.
    		
Could've fanned the flame, it's a cryin' shame 
He's comin' apart                    
gotta broken heart. 

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
     
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he just plumb forgot. 
              
As he takes some time to think, he pours another drink 
Of the recipe for a broken heart

ONE PART NEVER THERE, TWO PARTS UNPREPARED              
ADD A DASH OF DESPAIR AND THERE YOU HAVE IT 
THE RECIPE FOR A BROKEN HEART

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he forgot
Gotta broken heart   

Could've fanned the flame
It's a cryin' shame  
He's comin' apar
Gotta broken heart 

He knew the task was risky but he’s plumb out of luck
He got a flask of Jack Whiskey in the cab of his ol’ truck  
Comin’ apart at the seams, his heart is sad and broken. 
Lost his hopes and dreams so tonight he’s gonna crack it open

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he forgot 
Gotta broken heart   

Could've fanned the flame, it's a cryin' shame 
He's comin' apart; gotta broken heart 
      
With each shot he takes, he remembers his mistakes 
And the recipe for a broken heart

Recipe for a Broken Heart

When she was young, she lived by the sea
Spoke in a tongue, that I couldn't speak
She had a dad that, she'd never meet
Sang sad songs, that I couldn't sing

Grew up to become a young teen
Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or magazines
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married n divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

Now she's wiser and older, and values her privacy
The fire now smolders, likes to spend time with me
On her book, her art nothing she does surprises me
She cooks, she's smart and keeps close eyes on me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or the silver screen
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married and divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

When she was young, she lived by the sea
Spoke in a tongue, which I couldn't speak
She never gave up, in defeat
Sang songs, that I couldn't sing

Grew up to become a young teen
Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or magazines
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married n divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me
Yeah, that's the way she'd come to me

She'd Come to Me - Right on Time
