Angel
Too Soon
In a little white house on a blacktop road in her sleep was
where she died
She went through a tunnel with a light at the end and swam across the River
of Life
God gave her a mansion on a hill in heaven and her wings that afternoon
The preacher said she's in a better place, but if you want to know the truth
She's an angel too soon
A pretty flower that never bloomed
Somewhere on the other side of the moon,
She's an angel too soon.
Around the house there's an emptiness but her room still looks the same
With heartthrob posters on the wall and a Barbie make-up case
Today would have been her birthday, so her Mama made her favorite cake
She wasn't there to blow out the candles, but Daddy lit 'em anyway
She's an angel too soon
A pretty flower that never bloomed
Somewhere on the other side of the moon,
She's an angel too soon.
It's hard for us to understand why she was taken away
But if we could see her spread her wings maybe then we wouldn't say -
She's an angel too soon.....

I Hope You Dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance
I hope you dance' I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance
I hope you dance' I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance' I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years
have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance
I hope you dance' I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance' I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years
have gone)

Annie's Song
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
~John Denver
Secret Garden
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you've got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get?
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
~ Bruce Springsteen
