Lyrics to Songs

Just a Wish

When I saw you
from across the room,
I knew I wanted you.

In the meanwhile
I will wait, if you wish,
hoping you will be mine...

There's a moon that
shines up in the sky.
It shines for those who care...

There are stars
that fill the sky. You can
touch them if you dare...

I am wondering what
you're feeling today.
Where there's a will

there's a way...
Do you smile and laugh
It's a earthly delight.

Can you come
with me to play?
There's a moon that

smiling down on us.
It fills our hearts with light..
Life takes grace

and love takes faith.
It takes all
your earthly might...

When I saw you
from across the room,
I knew you were the one...

The Long Road

Walking down
the long long road,
the rain begins to fall,

from afar
you hear the roar.
The heart

begins to pound.
The passion that
you are feeling,

like a storm in the night.
The dreams from which
you are reeling,

like an eagle in flight.
Spirit so high up
in the heavens, free

from earthly restraints.
The heart seeking to
gather its strength,

feels the great length.
Walking down
the long long road

the sun begins to shine.
The birds sing
their sweeten song.

A rainbow adorns the sky.
The passion that
you are feeling,

like the waves
in the sea.
The dreams

from which
you are reeling,
like seagulls

in the breeze.
Spirit so high up
in the heavens

free from
earthly restraints.
The heart seeking to

gather its strength,
feels the great length.

The long road.

The Magic Garden

In a secret garden,
far far away,
there are these words

written in clay.
When you hear
their rythym,

it takes your
breath away.
This is the song

that angels can play.
In a magic garden,
garden of songs,

there is a path
that leads you along
deep river valleys,

high mountain tops,
the path goes on forever,
the path never stops.

The music you believe in
is real.....
Your songs

will be revealed.
Until then my friend
come follow me

to a magic garden
far far away,
where there are songs

the angels play.
where the angels play.

When I'm Gone

When you rise
to meet the dawn
you'll find I've gone.

Life doesn't seem
to be fair,
and you're feeling

so lonely and you
don't think
you can go on,

a song
for the breaking dawn.
The sun will rise.

Your tears must fall.
The time we share
we can't recall.

When you wish
upon a star,
it seems so very far,

life doesn't seem
to really care;
and you're feeling

so lonely and
you don't think
you can go on...

a song
for when I'm gone.
The sun will rise.

Your tears must fall.
The moments of life
we can't recall.

As the light
turns into night,
what will be there?

Come hold my hand
let us dare.
When you play

a special song,
it goes on and on,
please remember me

when I'm gone.

Gentle Spirit

Gentle spirit
down deep inside,
listening to natures song,

watching the clouds go bye...
In the valley, full of life,
there is a stream,

singing and flowing free,
it makes me
want to dream.

Quiet thoughts
of days gone by.
Memories that I

see so clear.
Faces of friends
that I use to know,

where do all
the good times go?
Gentle spirit

down deep beside,
trying to understand
why the years fly.

In the morning
when I rise
I see this dream...

A dream that
becomes so real,
today is what it brings.

Hopes I had long ago
haunt me, still I
can't let go.

A vow I made
when I was young,
to this day

its still the one.
Gentle spirit
down deep inside,

listening to natures song,
watching the clouds
drift by...

In the valley, full of life,
there is a stream,
soothing and flowing free,

it makes me
want to
sing.

The Message

When I wrote
this song down
just the other day,

I was wondering of
just what I would say.
Joy and laughter

sorrow and tears,
there are those
who feel love,

some feel fear.
There are places
that I've been,

that I've never seen.
There are songs
I've never heard,

that now I can sing.
Hopes and wishes,
truths and lies,

there are those
who find love,
some denied.

When I awoke
this morning
tears were in my eyes,

as I walked
to the window
I began to cry.

Love an illusion,
dreams unreal.
There are those

who will find love,
some never will.
When I wrote

this song down
just the other day,
I was wondering of

just what I would
love to say.

Happy Baby

There's a song
that I wrote
not long ago

when I was
feeling free,
has a melody that

makes you happy,
lyrics not so rappy,
makes you

want to dream
of far away places,
far from the grind,

no rush hour madness
that robs your
peace of mind.

In the canyon
you will find
lonesome thoughts

are just fine.
Come follow me
I'll show you the way.

By a river
in the mountains
you can breathe easy.

It's called fresh air.
Love you Colorado!
In the springtime

you can find
time to watch
the graceful deer.

The cotton is drifting
slowly in the breeze.
This is what

we were meant for.
Can you feel the ease?
In the canyon

you will find
lonesome thoughts,
don't really mind.

Come follow me.
I'll show you the way...
Lonesome Canyon...

Lonesome Canyon...

The Chill

On a quiet night,
as I lay still,
on the wall,

a shadow,
its becoming to real.
Odd forms they start

to surround me
With a scream,
I begin to flee

thru a dark
and a howling
most frightful night...

All Saints Day
It comes once a year
Where spirits

come out to play
with your earthly fears.
On a quiet night

as I lay very still,
on the wall, spiders,
gives me a chill.

Spirits that live in this
house with me,
somehow they must

think that the
rent is free.
A ghost on the edge

of my bed,
beckons with the call
of the dead.

and the terror
you fear most
now feels your head.

All Saints Day,
it comes once a year;
where spirits

come out to play
with your fears.
On a quiet night,

as I lay very still,
On the wall shadows,
there becoming too real.

Lucky Star

There is
a big bright star
shining down on you.

No matter
where you are,
the sky will be blue.

You can feel it.
You can hear it.
It has a name.

Mother, its a mother
crying in pain.
Save the oceans.

Save the land.
This a gift
from God to man.

Save the forest trees.
This is the
air we breathe.

Stop the wars.
Pray for peace.
Feed the poor.

The world will feast.
Save our planet now!
Now you have

a lucky star
watching over you.
No matter

where you are,
the sky will be blue.
You can feel it.

You can hear it.
It has a name.
Mother, its a mother,

crying in vain.
I am trying
to understand.

Please oh life,
what is the plan?
Why do we

live in fear?
Why destroy what's dear?
Stop the wars.

Live with peace.
Feed the poor.
The world will feast.

Save our planet now!
Now you have
a lucky star

to watch over you.
No matter
where you are,

your dream
will come true.

Tribute

Lyrics to the song "Tribute" (Dedicated to my dad Dr. Harold E. Gilman 1917-1999)
his son Don Gilman

This is a song
I wrote for my father.
He is no longer...

Just dust in the wind.
In a sad world,
sometimes I wonder,

is there a real God
that lives within?
In the brightness,

I reach out to touch you,
reach out to love you,
find nothing there,

life's despair.
When the cold winds
begin to blow

nobody knows
where sweet life will go.
The warmth

we shared together
lives on forever,
buried in snow.

There is a saying,
time waits for no man,
that there's some

real plan,
life's not in vain.
When you're lonely,

feeling forgotten,
please just remember
I once called out

your name.
In the darkness,
I reach out to touch you,

reach out to love you,
find nothing there,
death's despair.

When the cold winds
begin to blow
nobody knows

where sweet life will go.
The warmth
we shared together

lives on forever,
buried in snow.

Misty Harbour

Dedicated to a Love in my Life and
who was the support behind this music!
Judi Colling 1952-2002

Come take my hand.
We'll walk along the sands
by the sea,

where you taste
the salty breeze,
where the waves

rolling in from
distant shores
brings you ease.

Does the crisp
ocean mist
make you want to dream?

Come let's dance
with love
while we can.

It's a dream
in which we believe.
The life that we share

with the one
for whom we care
will not always be there.

Come take my hand
will walk along the sands
just you and me...

Like two ships in the night there will come a time
when we just sail away

just sail away...

The Farewell

From the day
you're born
till the day

that you die,
from the start
to finish you'll

have to try
to help one another.
The heart is

your guide.
Through the wilderness
of forever

there are few
who survive
the rain of pain...

From the morning sun
till the day is done
there are words

to write, many songs
to be sung,
but when its over,

the writing's on the wall.
There is a sadness.
You hear the distant call.

Fare thee well,
fare thee well friend,
fare thee well...

Morning Breeze

There's a morning breeze
that sings to me
when I lay beneath

the swaying tree.
Watch the clouds
turn pink from the rising

sun and know your life's
begun. There are things
to be done. There are

people to know. Tallyho!
I think its time to grow.
Life is just a dream

where you have to try.
Do you stop to wonder
why we wonder why?

Why the sky is blue,
why there's stars
in the sky, and why

we're born just to die?
There are things to be
done. There are songs

to be sung. Tallyho!
I think its time
we should know.

Can you hear the leaves
rustling in the swaying
trees? Can you hear

the sparrow singing
in the morning breeze?

Destiny

The spirit
that resides within
is like the rain

with the wind...
and the tears
that now fill my eyes

are like the fires
that fill the skies
on judgement day!

What are we to do
when the heavens come
shining right through?

What is the meaning of
"We must fall from love?"
The lessons we learn

along the way...
make us feel what
words cannot say.

Through the years
we know we must change
from a young fool to

a sage of judgement day!
What are we to do
when the heavens

come out of the blue?
What is the meaning of
"We must fall from love?"

Elephant Run

Feeling free!
Feeling ok!
I don't mind

what you say.
You're hard at work.
I'm hard at play.

Pickin' this guitar,
I'm havin' a good day!
My mummy

thinks I'm crazy...
and my papa
knows I'm lazy...

for doin' what
I love to do...
Sing the blues!!

Elephants run!
They know how
to have fun!

Kickin' up dust!
Stompin' the ground!
Run! Run!

Run baby! Run!
When I get done writing
a crazy crazy blues song

I think I'll take
a long long walk
to the beach

with my babe.
Make some whoopie...
All right!!

She doesn't
count my money...
She knows

I'm her honey...
and we do what
we love to do...

Make some true!!
Elephants run!
They know how

to have fun!
Kickin' up dust!
Stompin' the ground!

Run! Run!
Run baby! Run!
Kickin' up dust!

Stompin' the ground!
Run! Run!
Run baby! Run!

The Grace

You make me feel
like I've never felt before.
Would you be my friend?

And when you smile,
the darkened sky
turns blue.

This is a song about you.
Your beautiful eyes
they shine like the stars

and they express
your womanly grace.
Sweeter than a

fresh morning breeze,
softer than air,
your soul reaches me....

You make me feel
like we've met before.
Would you be my love?

And when we danced
slowly beneath the stars,
I knew there was nothing

I needed more.
Your beautiful eyes
they shine like the stars

and they express a
womanly grace.
Sweeter than a

fresh ocean breeze,
calmer than ease,
your soul touches me....

You make me feel
like I've never felt before.
Would you marry me!

Sands of Time

You can add some
grains of sand to the
hour glass of time.

By your work,
through your toils,
it's what you give

that makes you shine.
This is how you grow.
You can add a touch

of love to the feelings
that you have.
Love will come

and love will go.
It will be what remains
that you should know.

This is how you grow.
You can add a dash
of spice to the life

that you seek to live.
When you reach out
to the one you wish

to know, this is
how you grow.
You can add some

grains of sand to the
hour glass of time.

Hearth

There are no words
that can explain
all the feelings that remain.

On a cold, wintery night
there could be warmth
by fire light.

And through the wind
swept years,
there will be love

yet there are fears.
On a cold, winterish night
there could be hope

by fire light. Take this song
that make flames dance.
Did we fall in love

just by chance?
And when I held you near
there was a song

that still I can hear.
You could have been mine...
There are no words

that can explain
all the feelings that remain.
On a cold, wintery night

there will be love
by fire light.
This will be love

which forever sustains...

Distant Bells

Can you hear the
the distant bells ring?
Would you know
for whom the bells toll?
In a world of magical dreams,
we thought we would
never grow old.
But we were wrong.
The years grow long.
You will find your way
to the land of the night,
where the love shines bright,
and you'll be standing there.
I'll come following you.
It's just what I have to do.

Angel...Angel...
Can you hear me calling?
Angel...Angel
I'll come following you.

Can you hear
the patter of rain?
There's a rainbow up in the sky.
In a world of make believe dreams
we thought that they would
never would die.
But we were wrong.
The hours grew long.
You will find a way
to the land of the night,
where the truth brings light,
and you'll be standing there.
I'll come following you.
It's just what I have to do.

Angel...Angel...
Can you hear me calling?
Angel...Angel...
I'll come following you.

Who is now an Angel...

Soul's Prayer

In the quiet stillness
of the night,
this is my soul's prayer.
There's a friend, with a smile,
who I loved for awhile.
There was no goodbye.
before she died.

Now in heaven
will you hear this,
my final sad request?
In my dreams
will you join me
to ease my distress?
I will hold you
in my arms again...

Sometimes I wonder
what is real.
Love made time stand still.
Now I turn my face
to the sky above
wondering what you are.
Are you just that star?

Now in heaven
you did hear this,
my final sad request.
In a dream
you did join me
to ease my distress.
I held you
in my arms again...

In the quiet stillness
of the night,
this is my soul's prayer.
You are there...
