Verse 1
Love found me, when I wasn’t looking
Stole up on me, in the sweetest possible way
She shone her light, deep into my soul
The darkest corners finally, felt her light, , hmm oh yeah felt her light

Chained to apathy

She set me free, let’s me be me
Never asked me, to be anything else
She gives me hope, to love again
What else could I ever
Need …

I was lonely, but I never really knew
Just how far, I had fallen
It was her love, that gave me the courage
To find my way back home, Into the light, yeah into her light

She set me free, let’s me be me
Never asked me, to be anything else
She gives me hope, to love again

Why can’t we … just let ourselves be free
Why can’t we … Just wait and see
What tomorrow … will bring

She set me free, let’s me be me
Never asked me, to be anything else
She gives me hope, to love again

Dancing on Your Rainbow

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Here in the park watching the kids play
I’m in awe of their innocence
They don’t have a care in the world
They’re just enjoying their summer’s day

Pre-Chorus
Feel their joy, live in the moment
As you grow old, you lose your innocence
Don’t believe the lies they’ll tell, about the gold
At the end of the rainbow

Chorus
Feel the love flow, let it grow n grow
Dancing on your rainbow
Dancing …. Dancing, Dancing on your rainbow

Verse 2
Children don’t see colour or creed
Accepting people for who they are
Just enjoy the here and now
Not tainted by money or greed

Pre-Chorus
Feel their joy, live in the moment
As you grow old, you lose your innocence
Don’t believe the lies they’ll tell, about the gold
At the end of the rainbow

Chorus
Feel the love flow, let it grow n grow
Dancing on your rainbow
Dancing …. Dancing, Dancing on your rainbow

Bridge
Children play in the world of rainbows
Full of magic and sunbeams
But over time we lose our dreams
Can we get them back … who knows?

Pre-Chorus
Feel their joy, live in the moment
As you grow old, you lose your innocence
Don’t believe the lies they’ll tell, about the gold
At the end of the rainbow

Chorus
Feel the love flow, let it grow n grow
Dancing on your rainbow
Dancing …. Dancing, Dancing on your rainbow

Outro
Dancing …. dancing, dancing on your rainbow
Dancing …. dancing, dancing on your rainbow

You’re never alone
I’m here to look after you

Hey my friend, I have seen the signs
Loneliness creeping up on you
Pulling your world apart and leaving you blue
Don’t worry my friend

Anyone can feel lost in the mountains of madness

Depression is hard to face
Sometimes it breaks us and tears us apart
Strips us back to the bone
Makes us feel so alone

Depression can destroy your soul
Sometimes life grinds you down
Makes you feel like your heads gonna explode
Let me help you carry that load

Your never really alone
I’m here to look after you
Your never really alone
Even when the world seems like its ending

Never ever, never ever alone

Of others hard times
Sometimes we need to catch them before they fall

Sometimes we need to ….take some time

Time to send
A message to say we care
For those in despair
Sometimes we need to give… a little of our time
To make a difference…make it OK
Sometimes it can really …help

Lyrics

Monday

Monday came and you had to go away
Without you, life seems like a desert
Cruel minutes stretching to eternity
Each and every second your away

Tuesday

Tuesday came and felt heavy as clay
Without your love, the sun’s rays are cold
And I long for your slightest touch
Each and every second we can’t play
I wish your smile was here to play

Pre-chorus

And as you smile at me
I hold you close as dance and sway
And it’s clear to me …

Chorus

Each and every day, Yes, each and every day
You find another way, To brighten up my day
I want you to hear me say
I love you more and more, each and every day

Wednesday

Wednesday came like the month of may
Without your smile, the rain still lingers
And I need your love to water my soul
I long for you each and every day

Thursday

Thursday came and I have to say
Without you kisses I could survive
I know now more than ever I need you in my life
In each and every way

Friday

Friday will finally come I pray
And bring your love back to me
Yeah baby gonna show my love for you
In so many ways each and every day

Bridge

Monday … left me lonely
Tuesday … leaves me blue
Wednesday … I long for you
Thursday … gives me hope
Friday … can’t come fast enough
Saturday … feels like paradise
Sunday … my life feels whole

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Weekend

Saturday and Sunday came like my Birthday
As you flew back into my arms
And I know how lucky we are to have found each other
Each and every day

Our Love is like a setting Sun

Lyrics and Music by Simon Ashworth (December 2014) All Right Reserved

Inspiration: The realization that as love relationship ends and another starts, friendship can live through all

Music:

 

Verse 1

The heat of our love has lost its spark

Life burnt it out and left us in the dark

And we had it all, the world at our feet

Without your love I felt so incomplete

Pre-chorus 1

There’s no point in us lying

We’ve been trying and trying

But it’s been slowly dying …and now we know

Chorus 1

Even though we lost we also won

Like a super nova, loves death gives new life

And our friendship burns, brightly through it all

As now we know …. Our love is like a setting sun

Verse 2

We tried to fight it, to relight our flame

But you know they say it’s all in the game

And sometimes it’s better to keep a friend

Than try and fix something that just won’t mend

Pre-chorus

Chorus 3

Verse 3

As humans we have learnt and we’ve grown

Walking different roads, but we are never alone

And I am happy to say were happy it seems

Our friendship remains, as we live our new dreams

Pre-chorus

Chorus 3

Outro Chorus      

And after the sunset comes a new day

Its sunshine gives us new hope to love again

And warms our souls and we are happy to know

Our love is like a setting sun
