At Last
1. Love Will Find A Way
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Such a simple thing prayer - talking from your broken heart
Knowing someone loves you dearly - hears and heals you from the start
Hey - I talk to God and often - and then I talk again
Some have loved and some have left but He's always been my friend
Hey - it may seem as though you can't go on - can't even face another day
of loneliness and sorrow but don't throw it away
Hey I've been there - and burned the tee-shirt - now through it all I say
Don't give up - God is Love - and Love will find a way
love will find a way, love will find a way, love will find a way (2)
In my youth I made some errors - gave away a precious thing
and yet He never did abandon me - He understood what pressures bring
Yeah - I talk to God and often - He's helped me understand
When no one else was there to comfort me - that's when he took my hand
Hey - it may seem as though you can't go on - can't even face another day
of loneliness and sorrow but don't throw it away
Hey I've been there burned the tee-shirt - now through it all I say
Don't give up - God is Love - and Love will find a way
Such a simple thing to pray just say it from your heart
Now at last I see an answer - yeah He listened all along.
My life he's given back to me - I will praise him more in song
Yeah - I talk to God and often - and He listened all the while
He raised me up - caressed my soul - replaced my tears with smiles.
Hey - it may seem as though you can't go on - can't even face another day
of loneliness and sorrow but don't throw it away
Hey I've been there burned the tee-shirt - now through it all I say
Don't give up - God is Love - and Love will find a way
love will find a way, love will find a way, love will find a way,
No Don't give up
love will find a way, love will find a way, God will save the day
Don't give up - God is Love - and Love will find,
Love will find, Love will find a way.
2. You Won't Believe It's True
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain
You won't believe it's true - but I love you
Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.
You won't believe it's true - but I do - I love you
It may take me some time to show you that I can love you
'cause your heart's been cut deep and the wound just won't heal
But your heart can still live - you can find this out if you want to
Girl if you'll just take a chance, I could show you romance
I'll be tender with you
Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain
You won't believe it's true - but I love you
Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.
You won't believe it's true - but I do - I love you
So if you want to you can run - but when the day and night is done
I'll be back with the sun waiting to tell you
Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain
You won't believe it's true - but I love you
Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.
You won't believe it's true - but I do - I love you
- I love you - I love you
3. Learning To Love
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Still talking with an open heart - open like the sunshine -beaming out in rays
Still walking on the narrow road - but with a lighter load - I'm hoping for some new days
And I'm free now - 'cause I'm learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can be me now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life
Still praying for you night and day - sending out an angel where I cannot go.
Still hoping somewhere down the line your heart will start to shine - I'm hoping for a rainbow.
But I'm free now 'cause I'm learning to give for giving sake - not to take
I can believe now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life
I still can't abandon my heart's strong conviction - laid solid when I fell into your eyes
I felt your love when through my lonely heart's eviction -
You took me in and painted rainbows in my skies.
And I'm free now - 'cause I'm learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can be me now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life
Still want to be a better man - praying for the wisdom - I swallow down my cup
Still want to be the very best - what should I lay to rest -what should I try to wake up.
But I'm free now - learning that love endures - it's for sure.
I can believe now - 'cause love never fails - love me, love you , love life.
I still can't abandon my heart's strong conviction - laid solid when I fell into your eyes
I felt your love when through my lonely heart's eviction -
You took me in and painted rainbows in my skies.
And I'm free now - learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can believe now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life
4. Saving All These Sad Songs
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
I was hopin' you could save me - I've been wondrin' what to do
You see I've written all these sad songs and each one's for you.
I've been told to write some dance songs - told that they're the ones that pay
And though I'm trying to forget you, this feeling won't go away
Yeah I've been saving all these sad songs hoping you would understand
That it won't have to be a sad song if you'll take my hand.
I've been saving all the memories - painting you with every word
And though to everyone I'm crazy - it seems absurd
I tell them how your hair would glisten and of your eyes of china blue
Oh if only you would listen to my songs for you.
Yeah I've been saving all these sad songs hoping you would understand
That it won't have to be a sad song if you'll take my hand.
(Instrumental)
Yeah I've been saving all these sad songs hoping you would understand
That it won't have to be a sad song if you'll take my hand.
Yeah I've been saving all these sad songs hoping you would understand
That it won't have to be a sad song if you'll take my hand.
5. Be Positive
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
(Changing)
They say it's down to attitude - it's really all up to your mood
Whether your life's looking bright or dull
Well now with all that's going on - and this is why I wrote this song
My glass looks more half empty than it's ever looked half full
Well now, nothing's changing. Nothing's new and your day won't turn to night
But by simply changing your point of view
Yeah just by being positive - you can change the black to white
While wasting all my afternoon and trying hard to change my tune
My gloominess just wouldn't set me free.
My bad day turned into a year while I've been choking on my tears
and the best thing I can do I fear is work up an apathy :-)
Well now, nothing's changing. Nothing's new and your day won't turn to night
But by simply changing your point of view
Yeah just by being positive - you can change the black to white
It's hard to take one of those days - your drive got up and drove away
Your get-up-and-go got up to leave
But even when those clouds look gray, it's not that bad or so they say
and you can still enjoy the day, though it may be hard to believe.
But now, nothing's changing. Nothing's new and your day won't turn to night
But by simply changing your point of view
Yeah just by being positive - you can change the black to white
The best that you can do is change your point of view
But now, nothing's changing. Nothing's new and your day won't turn to night
But by simply changing your point of view
Yeah just by being positive - Yeah just by being positive
Yeah just by being positive - you can change the black to white
6. A Sort Of Warm Feeling
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Just as when the poets sing and write a love's refrain
With all the rhymes that reason bring and yet they can't explain
I don't think it can be put down in words
Still I think these butterflies inside - I think they're yours.
It's a sort of warm feeling - when I mention your name
A sort of warm feeling - I know you feel the same
A sort of warm feeling - to know that you are there
with a sort of warm feeling we can share - a sort of warm feeling
Feel as though I'm in a daydream - thrown away my fear
So much so to some it may seem I'm not really here
It makes me feel so good my heart is beaming
Pinch me now so I can realise I'm not dreaming
It's a sort of warm feeling - when I mention your name
A sort of warm feeling - I know you feel the same
A sort of warm feeling - to know that you are there
with a sort of warm feeling we can share - a sort of warm feeling
(Repeat chorus and intro)
7. What Has Been Getting You Down
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
There is no reason for a show - no use in hiding when you're low
I think I know you better - you feel under the weather
Just what has been getting you down, dear what is making you frown?
You know I'll always be around.
I suppose you don't think it matters to me - Without a word you just go straight to sleep.
And so I'm left trying to reach for your heart by writing this song.
Well there we are now, I knew you'd see sense - I'm not attacking so don't try defence
Just drink this cuppa sit here with your friend and tell me what's wrong.
There is no reason for a show - no use in hiding when you're low
I think I know you better - you feel under the weather
Just what has been getting you down, dear what is making you frown?
You know I'll always be around.
It doesn't matter how long you've been trying - try once again, this time harder
And it don't matter how often you cry 'cause you'll never get rid of all that sorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow oh oh
There is no reason for a show - no use in hiding when you're low
I think I know you better - you feel under the weather
Just what has been getting you down, dear what is making you frown?
You know I'll always be around.
I just can't tell you how precious you are - Why even music and my good guitar
of which you know dear I treasure, I'd part with them gladly for you.
So don't you worry dear, don't even fret. Whatever you need you know that I'll get
And please remember your close and dear friends - yeah they can help too.
(repeat Chorus) I'll stay around. I'll stay around.
8. No Way I'm Falling For Your Smile
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
There was a time when I would fall so hard so deep
and like a fool imagine everything's OK
But there's a kindness hard to find (so hard to keep)
A kind of beauty you don't notice straight away
So I'm not falling for your pretty face
I won't fall into the heaven in your eyes
I'm not falling for your lips and pretty lace
Even though you may have dazed me for a while
Yeah most of all no way I'm falling for your smile.
Though something makes me turn to see your lovely hair that shines
and takes my breath away to watch you walk
There's no debating - you have all the curves and lines
But you have yet to pour your heart out when you talk
So I'm not falling for your pretty face
I won't fall into the heaven in your eyes
I'm not falling for your lips and pretty lace
Even though you may have dazed me for a while
Yeah most of all no way I'm falling for your smile.
It's not as if you even noticed - Yeah if I leave I won't be missed
No don't think that I haven't noticed
That you're not even aware that I exist - yeah yeah yeah yeah
Do do do do doot do da do . . .
No I'm not falling for your pretty face
I won't fall into the heaven in your eyes
You can't impress me with your lips and pretty lace
Even though you may have dazed me for a while
Yeah most of all no way I'm falling for your smile.
I'm not falling for your smile. I'm not falling for your pretty face
I'm not falling for your smile. I'm not falling for your pretty face
9. At Last (Wedding Song)
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Slip your hand into my palm - I'll hold you gentle on your hip
Because it's now time for embracing - yes it's time to laugh and skip
And we'll dance a party dance although I'll feel it in slow motion
Although the crowded room is full we'll be alone out on our ocean
at last - at last you are mine.
Your absence hasn't made me fonder - but most surely I have grown
As you have learned to be yourself so too I've learned to be alone
The growth of love takes time and patience - and it's not without its pain
But here at last we reap the harvest - time for sunshine after rain.
at last - at last - at last - at last you are mine
Yeah you are mine. Yeah you are mine Yeah you are mine
And how I've waited for this moment - the time for weeping now is past
And yet my eyes well up with tears - but these are tears of joy at last
See my love's laughter in my eyes - but now it's deeper than before
For everything you want to be I want to help you be and more
at last - at last - at last - at last you are mine
Yeah you are mine. mmmmm you are mine Yeah you are mine
Flesh of my flesh - you are mine
Bone of my bones- Yeah you are mine
Flesh of my flesh - you are mine
Bone of my bones- Yeah you are mine
flesh of my flesh - bone of my bones
Now you are mine and I am yours
10. Spilt Milk
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Here I am again afloat down this stream, thinking about the fool I've always been
This stream of thought that seems to drain all my zest
and forever puts my love of life to the test
But there's no sense in weeping over the past
There's no sense in sleeping while life just falls away fast
I'm gonna reach out while life's in my grasp taking one step at a time
I'm gonna take a step at a time - one step at a time.
So when I find myself afloat down this stream
thinking about the fool that I've always been.
I quickly turn my thoughts on what has to come
So as not to linger on the wrongs I have done
But there's no sense in weeping over the past
There's no sense in sleeping while life just falls away fast
I'm gonna reach out while life's in my grasp taking one step at a time
I'm gonna take a step at a time
But there's no sense in weeping over the past
There's no sense in sleeping while life just falls away fast
You've gotta reach out while life's in my grasp taking one step at a time
You've gotta take a step at a time - (Lead)
But there's no sense in weeping over the past
There's no sense in sleeping while life just falls away fast
I'm gonna reach out while life's in my grasp taking one step at a time
I'm gonna take a step at a time
And there's every reason why I should go slowly
'Cause I've been so wrong - I've been so wrong.
But there's no sense in weeping over the past
There's no sense in sleeping while life just falls away fast
I'm gonna reach out while life's in my grasp taking one step at a time
I'm gonna take a step at a time - one step at a time.
11. Dream Of Peace Free
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Of all the dreams I ever have I know there's one
that keeps returning like the seasons - like the morning sun
And even now I know I only have to close my eyes
to find those vivid scenes will flow through my mind
If there's a reason or a rhyme in this season and this time
There has got to be a future of peace.
There is a WILL so there's a way it can be better than today
It's my dream that every war will cease
You say I'm mad but I don't dream this dream alone
In many hearts the hope for peace - yes it has surely grown
and when I gaze upon the order in a starry sky
I know we can't be left on our own
There has got to be a future of peace.
There is a WILL so there's a way it can be better than today
It's my dream that every war will cease
We have to learn - there is no other way
We hope and yearn for peace
We have to learn - don't waste another day
As we learn then our love will increase.
Of all the dreams I ever have I know there's one
that keeps returning like the seasons - like the morning sun
And even now I know I only have to close my eyes
to find those vivid scenes will flow through my mind
If there's a reason or a rhyme in this season and this time
There has got to be a future of peace.
There is a WILL so there's a way it can be better than today
It's my dream that every war, and killing is no more
It's my dream that every war will cease
12. Tuck Me In (Lullaby For Grown-Ups)
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Tuck me in nice 'n' warm keep me safe and cosy. I don't feel so good today.
Tuck me in 'round my back - right down to my toeseys
I don't want to work and don't want to play
Close the door - get the light -
and then pull the curtain and sit down by my side
Today I want to hide -while you stand guard and make the world go away.
Tuck me hold me close and then rock me slowly until I'm sound asleep
Tuck me in sing a song - sing it soft and low -
with your kind gentle voice I'll go under deep
There were times when my courage could move a mountain
Today it up-n-died - and now I need to hide
While you stand guard and chase the world away
(instrumental)
There were times when my courage could move a mountain
Today it up-n-died - and now I need to hide
While you stand guard and chase the world away
Tomorrow maybe I will have the strength - but don't make me face the world today.
Mmmmmm and I won't forget your kindness - No I won't forget you came
When your weak then you will find this -
I will be there - I will tuck you in - I will love you just the same.
(Mmmmm that's nice and cosy)
Faithful Music
1. The Lake Of 31 Miles
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: I wrote this song while on a break with friends in a cabin in Quebec, Canada. I drove up from Brockville through Ottawa. The song lyric has pretty much all the details to navigate to there.
Took the 105 north out of Ottawa to Maniwaki
Turned off at Bouchette then left over le pont
Lingered a while watching the Gatineau flow
Wondering 'where does it go?'
Cruising and taking it slow ..
.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear
Smiling, not even a small tear
here where creation is strong
harmony holding the song
everyone singing along
Moving on slow through dusty roads weaving and winding
Heading across to "The lake of thirty-one miles"
Sun going down - finally reaching the end
Smiling I'm greeted by friends
Looks like it's gonna be slow ..
.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear
Smiling, not even a small tear
here where creation is strong
harmony holding the song
everyone singing along
Loon on the lake - Allan and Michael are swimming
Bethel and Vaughan are finishing reading their books
Linda and Gwen are winning each other at word games
We're here in the wild but it's so tame
Everyone's taking it slow ..
.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear
Smiling, not even a small tear
here where creation is strong
harmony holding the song
everyone singing along
Content 'round the fire on the shore you can hear the lake lapping
singing our songs as we muse with the starry stars looking on.
Mike makes us laugh with his line in the alphabet game
for this joy and this moment we came
And dancing the fireflies glow ..
.. here out in Quebec and we've no fear
Smiling, not even a small tear
here where creation is strong
harmony holding the song
everyone singing along
2. I Would Have Given It All
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Just couldn't stop thinkin' then – it doesn't seem right
With you there and me here alone in the night.
I felt I should be there – I should hold you tight
Just walk and talk into the daylight.
And now it's only fair that you should know … I would have given it all.
I would have given you everything
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
Even more than gold and diamond rings
(all that you wanted or needed)
I would have given you all my love
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
We could have shared the stars above
(all that you wanted or needed)
Even so y'know, I'm glad you came. Nobody's wrong or right – no one's to blame
You can't love me that way 'though – it's such a shame.
It only works if you feel the same.
And now it's only fair that you should know … I would have given it all
I would have given you everything
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
Even more than gold and diamond rings
(all that you wanted or needed)
I would have given you all my love
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
We could have shared the stars above
(all that you wanted or needed)
On my love – you could float – and just sail away – I would have given it all
I would have given you everything
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
Even more than gold and diamond rings
(all that you wanted or needed)
Seasons turn and there may come a day – maybe for someone else you'll feel this way
Then you may understand the things I say – You'll want to give them love always.
And when you feel that way you'll surely know - I would have given it all
I would have given you everything
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
Even more than gold and diamond rings
(all that you wanted or needed)
I would have helped you live all your dreams
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
Made your life golden – more than sunlight beams
(all that you wanted or needed)
I would have learned to sing all your songs
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
And sing and serenade all night long
(all that you wanted or needed)
I only lived to make your life shine
(all that you wanted – more than you needed)
I only wished you wanted to be mine but that was more than you wanted or needed!
3. Faithful Music
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: Whatever our mood or circumstance, music can be like a loyal and faithful friend who laughs or cries with us or console us when needed.
If your heart is starving or at a banquet all the time
Where love supplies the food and music is the wine
Alone then - turned inside out - feel you want to hide
That's when the music's by your side
That's when the music's by your side
When every break's a fracture and even sun brings rain
The light down at the end is a fast approaching train
When they're gone - there's no love left - your heart needs time to mend.
That's when the music is your friend
That's when the music is your friend
Yeah Just like a friend - always understands
Smiles along then sad when you're blue
Even at the end - who is left to stand?
Faithful music still shines through for you.
When their hot love boils over - evaporates like steam
Left to live the nightmare instead of all your dreams
Still here to rock you gently - soothing you to sleep
That's when the music lets you weep.
That's when the music lets you weep.
When every break's a fracture and even sun brings rain
The light down at the end is a fast approaching train
When they're gone - there's no love left - your heart needs time to mend.
Why not let the music is your friend
Yeah for now just let the music is your friend
4. On The Inside
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
See the man with the chequered flag waving to-and-fro – moral man is lagging behind (behind)
Near the finish the bomb is winning – love steps aside or is crushed with national pride (with pride)
Humans are losing the human race now – so many have already lost
So many lives empty, wasted somehow – nobody wants to count the cost.
Then (as if in parenthesis) see the beaming light in the genesis of a love (a love)
Microscopic to humankind but then they don’t really expect to find it above (above)
Nobody’s thinking of tomorrow now – Can we be sure of today?
Building war towers where men used to plough and rain washing all the soil away
Oh oh oh outside it appears to be something but what a mess – on the inside!
This system appears to stand so tall but see it crawl – on the inside!
We must change not just appearance but the man we are – on the inside!
I must change not just the words I say but all my thoughts – on the inside!
(sing verse and refrain in counterpoint)
On the inside – on the inside – on the inside!
5. I Want A Real Moon
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: I heard it said once that moths normally navigate using the moon as a guide. When they come across an artificial light source in the dark it throws them off course and they end up continually burning themselves on the light. Meanwhile they fail to get where they want to go. I couldn't help but feel this was a good analogy of humans (well OK me :-) trying to navigate through life without a true source of reference. We can't rely on our own understanding as so often this has been made slightly askew from our upbringing or bad experiences. Really, we are only going to hurt ourselves by trying to navigate through life without a true reference to keep us set on the right course. Be it from a close friend, or the Bible or whatever, we all need readjustment from time to time from a TRUE source.
Just like a moth around a flame at night, I was absolutely wrong
And I was dying in the process while I wrote it down in song
Still I'd keep coming back for the burning - if I didn't wake real soon
And learn to navigate, it's gonna take a real moon
I wanna real moon. I wanna real moon
If it's not too late to navigate I wanna real moon
We had a talk about our feelings - She was absolutely right
And soon the time had slipped away and so her day became our night
Upon the rocks a ship can be wrecked - and then your heart can be marooned
Unless within your sight is the guiding light of a real moon.
I wanna real moon. I wanna real moon
If it's not too late to navigate I wanna real moon
'just take the good and then forget about the bad'
You'll be far more sane to know that everyone is mad!
I wanna ask someone directions - just to be absolutely sure
Or at least relieve the symptoms if for now there is no cure
And if it's true no man's an island - well then I've run too far too soon
No artificial light can guide me right - I need a real moon.
I wanna real moon. I wanna real moon
If it's not too late to navigate I wanna real moon
I wanna real moon. I wanna real moon
If it's not too late to navigate I wanna real moon
6. Guard Your Heart
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: A knife can be used by an enemy to stab you or by a surgeon to save you. So in truth whether you have the tools or not to kill it is really the intentions, the motivations, that bring about killing or war. These stem from the heart and therefore 'above all things' we should 'guard our heart'. Certainly, given mankind's propensity for anger and violence, some would say that having easy access to weapons is perhaps not the wisest situation to put yourself in.
It was a cool sharp blade that cut him through - seems he didn't have a chance mmmmm
No more party days or sunshine rays or nights out at the dance mmmmmm
With skill the knife was wielded with a calculated thrust
So down the victim fell with all his future in the dust
While it seems at first the sharpened knife blood spills
It's not the weapon in the hand but the broken heart that kills.
It's not the weapon in the hand but the broken heart that kills.
It was a cool sharp blade that cut him through - some say he didn't have a chance mmmmm
Yet friends and loved ones prayed that God would save him with this lance mmmmmm
With skill the knife was wielded with determined will precise
So snatched out of the grave he rose and paid the surgeon's price.
While it seems at first the sharpened knife blood spills
It's not the weapon in the hand but the broken heart that kills.
Take away the guns and bombs and even knives but still
Sickened hearts would then resort to bare hands to kill
But take away the sickness, hate and all the prejudice disarm
If hearts are filled with love they cannot motivate to harm.
While it seems at first the sharpened knife blood spills
It's not the weapon in the hand but the broken heart that kills.
It's not the weapon in the hand but the broken heart that kills.
7. Reaching Out For A Hand
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Unsteady baby walks. She reaches for a hand.
She's feeling more secure now someone's holding on - holding on.
And no one likes to fall - or even feel the fear
But if you reach for me there I'll be holding on - holding on.
Our life is full of times uncertain as the wind blows
We have to grasp the nettle - live life before it goes from our hand.
It safer not to walk and safer not to choose
But then you're left behind with no one holding on - holding on
So take some baby steps and face up to your fear
Right here until you do I will be holding on - holding on.
Our life is full of dreams and hopes for our tomorrow
We have to grasp the nettle - live life before it goes from our hand.
Reaching out for a hand
I'd like to quench your fear - But have some of my own
If I tried to leave, I'd like to think you would be holding on - holding on.
Choose life - choose joy - take some steps and move on
Reaching out for a hand. (repeat and fade)
8. Sunshine And Hope
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: What is it about the sun that makes people feel good? Could it be that even at a subconscious level we feel that whoever could make such a marvellous spectacle, with all his power and wisdom, must surely be able to offer us hope for the future. Whatever the case, I certainly feel better on a sunny day and the marvellous spectacle of such a heavenly body always takes me out of my own puny world and it reminds me that someone with immense power and wisdom will surely not leave us on our own.
I just love that in the evening in the summertime
You can wait 'til past eleven just to watch the sun go down
Then as if the hand of God Himself would paint the sky
See the fiery flames around it - as it melts on the horizon
And welcomes all the stars
From the early morning to the shiny moon
Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope
On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea
Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.
I just love that in the morning in the summertime
It's so early when the sun awakes to warm the window pane
and there's something 'bout the joy up in that clear blue sky
Makes it easy to imagine all of mankind's wounds will vanish.
There'll be a healing of the scars
From the early morning to the shiny moon
Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope
On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea
Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.
Gonna take some time just to enjoy the sky.
Every sunny hour fills me more with power.
From the early morning to the shiny moon
Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope
On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea
Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.
And even in the shortness of that winter day
There's still a brief reminder that the sun will never frown
Just makes it far more precious still in every way
There's hope on the horizon - If you can keep your eyes on
Times ahead not far.
From the early morning to the shiny moon
Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope
On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea
Sunshine and God's rays will help you cope.
9. Humpty Dumpty Built A Wall
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: Despite the reference to Humpty Dumpty here, this is not a children's song. Rather, it uses a play on the words of children's nursery rhymes to reflect on the serious nature of malformed personalities due to childhood trauma.
Humpty Dumpty had a fall so Humpty Dumpty built a wall
All the horses and the men would never hurt poor Dumpty again.
Mary had to build a dam now Mary's quiet as a lamb
And everywhere her thoughts will go they're stained as scarlet on the snow.
Skip high - skip low - Where did your youth go?
Now high or low - try not let the glue show through.
Life turned out hard for Bo-Peep When she lost more than her sheep
All she wanted was a home but always ends up on her own.
Little girls and little boys should be here to play with toys
But No more sugar - no more spice - 'cause someone's taken all things nice.
Skip high - skip low - Where did your youth go?
Now high or low - try not let the blues show through.
Humpty Dumpty had a fall so Humpty Dumpty built a wall
All the horses and the men would never hurt poor Dumpty again.
Humpty Dumpty had a fall so Humpty Dumpty built a wall (repeat)

10. Learning To Love
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: You might imagine that such a powerful thing as love would be something we know instinctively from birth. Sadly that's not the case. And in some ways, from an early age, we are 'led up the garden path' by the media that it should be easy. Even romantic love can often be portrayed in song or film as something that happens quite naturally and seems effortless. When you consider the Bible's description of love, it can be dauntingly obvious just how much there is to learn. For most people growing up in today's unloving world, it can even be a battle to overcome the first hurdle - to love oneself, and then others. And it can also be a challenge to love when there is no love returned. It's true; love never fails.
Still talking with an open heart - open like the sunshine -beaming out in rays
Still walking on the narrow road - but with a lighter load - I'm hoping for some new days
And I'm free now - 'cause I'm learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can be me now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life.
Still praying for you night and day - sending out an angel where I cannot go.
Still hoping somewhere down the line your heart will start to shine - I'm hoping for a rainbow.
But I'm free now 'cause I'm learning to give for giving sake - not to take
I can believe now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life.
I still can't abandon my heart's strong conviction - laid solid when I fell into your eyes
I felt your love when through my lonely heart's eviction -
You took me in and painted rainbows in my skies.
And I'm free now - 'cause I'm learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can be me now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life.
Still want to be a better man - praying for the wisdom - I swallow down my cup
Still want to be the very best - what should I lay to rest -what should I try to wake up.
But I'm free now - learning that love endures - it's for sure.
I can believe now - 'cause love never fails - love me, love you , love life.
I still can't abandon my heart's strong conviction - laid solid when I fell into your eyes
I felt your love when through my lonely heart's eviction -
You took me in and painted rainbows in my skies.
And I'm free now - learning to love you without pain - for no gain.
I can believe now - learning to love - love me, love you, love life
11. Needs Must
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
As I need my food for hunger, and my drink to quench my thirst,
the air I breathe, my songs to sing, I need your love the worst.
As I need my sleep to slumber, to rest and work and play,
I need (but with a passion) to be by your side each day.
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
As I need my dreams to wonder, to soar up as a dove,
to save my soul when I'm falling fast, I hold on to your love.
As the lightning comes with thunder, and the dawn awakes with dew,
So deep within, you're part of me. I was surely born for you.
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
So come softly sweet and warm my love. Let me feel your smiling face.
I need your tender words, your laugh, your love and warm embrace.
I need your tender words, your laugh, your love and warm embrace.
12. Wait And Listen
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
I was walking along the sidewalk when I heard a mournful cry
But I still decided to walk on by
I was tempted into turning - couldn't quite determine why
I could feel the hesitation - should I ..
Wait and listen? - turn and see?
Wait and listen? - Who could it be?
I could barely make the words out -
"No you mustn't go that way (you mustn't go that way)
- you must face the right direction today "
Wait and listen - turn and see
Wait and listen - You could be free"
So I turned but for a moment just to give the creature peace
Now my countenance grew paler and I went weak at the knees!
'Cause it turned out - that I was facing myself!
Yes it turned out it was me!
Now it turned out - I had been facing death! (you were facing death)
Now it turns out - now I'm free! (now you're free)
So while you walk along the sidewalk, should you hear a mournful cry
Don't you hesitate to listen or you'll die
Don't you hesitate to listen or you'll die
(If you don't listen you'll die)
13. Safe And Warm
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Safe and warm - when you calm my storm
If your heart could see - If you choose to be with me.
I will be safe and calm - embraced in your arms
On the far side of your fear I'm still waiting here - be mine.
Alone again and thinking of you. Once again I'm thinking for you
Wish you loved me - if you loved me
I would feel safe and warm - when you calm my storm
If your heart could see - If you choose to be with me.
I will be safe and calm - embraced in your arms
On the far side of your fear I'm still waiting here - be mine.
Gaze into the stars above you - count them - that's how much I love you
Don't be afraid - love's how we're made
Please hold me safe and warm with you.
14. You See Nothing
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all
And hey sister - there's no way to read my mind
There's a lot more me inside
And this shell is just nothing - no simply nothing - nothing at all.
There she goes over there with those looks - golden hair
All the men want to be by her side
But there's more to that book - open up take a look.
There's a beautiful person inside.
Hey - Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all
And hey sister - there's no way to read my mind
There's a lot more me inside
And this shell is just nothing - no simply nothing - nothing at all.
(You should look ___ ) You should look for truth in her heart
(Beauty hides ___) You should search for beauty that hides
(Take the time ___) Take the time, discover her soul
All the rest fades away with time.
Hey - Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all
'til you open the book and then you take a look you see nothing - nothing at all
(repeat and fade)
15. Keep Looking Up
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: After enjoying a circus performance and thinking back on the trapeze and high wire walker - it occurred to me that in life we don't have the advantage of a safety net - we only get one chance and we have to just give it our best shot. But if we don't take any chances be it in relationships or whatever, we may find ourselves hiding from life. Life is not a spectator sport (Despite what TV programs like Big Brother might like you to think). We have to make serious choices and often with serious consequences if we get it wrong. Speaking as someone who has slipped more times than stayed up, I can only say the best we can do is keep looking (up) to our creator for guidance as we go.
Flying high and swinging fast - lots of room to slip
Hope he catches with a grasp - on the second flip.
For what's worth the most in the real world the best you're gonna get
Is just one chance to get it right there is no safety net ..
And it's a long way down - it's a long way down -
It's a long way down if you mess it up.
It's a long way down - It's a long way down
It's a long way down - so keep lookin' up.
It may be alright on the night - or maybe with mistakes
finally he gets it right after twenty takes
For what's worth the most in the real world the best you're gonna do
is get it right the first time round there is no second queue.
Just a long way down - it's a long way down -
It's a long way down - so keep lookin' up.
Some would like to wait back stage away from all the strife
But while they're hiding in their cage are missing out on life
But what's worth the most is living life and the only real regret
is a 'no risk life' which is no life and before you know you're set ..
For a long lay down - for a long lay down
For a long lay down and no getting up.
It's a long way down - It's a long way down
It's a long way down - so keep lookin' up.
Keep lookin' up (3)
16. Tuck Me In (Lullaby For Grown-Ups)
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: This song embraces the thought from Ecclesiastes, that "two are better than one". At some time or other any of us can feel overwhelmed or just too tired to face today's trials. At such a time a partner who, not just understands us and makes allowances but comforts and protects us is an invaluable friend. We are grateful of their help and know we will do the same for them when they need us.
Tuck me in nice 'n' warm keep me safe and cosy. I don't feel so good today.
Tuck me in 'round my back - right down to my toeseys
I don't want to work and don't want to play
Close the door - get the light -
and then pull the curtain and sit down by my side
Today I want to hide -while you stand guard and make the world go away.
Tuck me hold me close and then rock me slowly until I'm sound asleep
Tuck me in sing a song - sing it soft and low -
with your kind gentle voice I'll go under deep
There were times when my courage could move a mountain
Today it up-n-died - and now I need to hide
While you stand guard and chase the world away ..
(instrumental)
There were times when my courage could move a mountain
Today it up-n-died - and now I need to hide
While you stand guard and chase the world away
Tomorrow maybe I will have the strength - but don't make me face the world today.
Mmmmmm and I won't forget your kindness - No I won't forget you came
When your weak then you will find this -
I will be there - I will tuck you in - I will love you just the same.
(Mmmmm that's nice and cosy)
Let The Dance Begin
<
1. Let The Dance Begin
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
It was a quiet wee town – but then that’s why I came here
And it’s central to all the Northwest.
I came up from the city because these fields are pretty
And I prefer life in the countryside best.
But it’s growin’, it’s growin', – no sign of it slowin’.
More houses, more driveways – more lawns to be mowin’.
Commuters from Derry and Omagh will buy if they can.
It’s growin’ what once was the quiet wee town of Strabane.
“Let the dance begin” – when you drive in from Lifford,
as five metal skeletons shine all alone.
Where barbed wire and soldiers once stood in your way
giants play and they dance as they welcome you home.
But it’s growin’ – it’s changin’ – the roads re-arranging
The builders can’t hear for the sound of the engines.
There was talk of a ‘Riverine Project’ – they've now mapped a plan.
It’s growin’ what once was the quiet wee town of Strabane.
But a mile out of town you can still hear the sound
of the cattle and sheep on the hill.
With the sunset on fire you can’t help but admire
the lush green hills and valleys – that’s why I’m here still.
There was a time you could watch all the trains to-and-froin'
as the whistle would blow rolling down Railway Street.
Later boys did the whistling – the girls they were listening
outside Katy Daly’s – but now they all tweet.
Yes it’s growin’ – it’s louder – at night is more proud or
at least it seems busy – more youth in the crowd now
McDonald’s drive-through beside ASDA is day and night manned.
It’s growin’ what once was the quiet wee town of Strabane.
Not I’ll ever leave – but I can hardly believe
that I left my own city to live where it’s pretty,
now they’re building a city ’round me!
2. One More Love Story
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
I was cold and for love I was hungry
when your love came and touched me so deep.
I was sad and alone, had made a prison of home
and so frightened to set my heart free.
I was once in a love that was precious,
but then a lie came to steal it away.
Can my heart live again? I gave so much then.
Am I ready to give it today?
It’s one more love story. Should I play my part?
In one more love story _____
Should I surrender and give you my heart?
I could see you had real good intentions.
And I was happy when you came around.
But while you felt so high with your head in the sky,
I was trying to stay on the ground.
One more love story – it hurts more and more
even thinking of the past.
And all my love stories had all sad endings.
Will this one – will this one really last?
Then in time you had really convinced me.
Yeah I was ready to love you at last.
Why should I wait and weep and let my heart sleep?
It’s no joy living in the past.
It’s one more love story and I must play my part
in one more love story, I surrender and give you my heart.
I surrender – with all of my heart
3. It Ain't All Hunky-dory
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
From the time that she could talk – always ran before she walked,
And always after someone out of reach.
And even when her daddy died, something touched her deep inside,
because she never felt his love for real.
No it ain’t all hunky-dory –
when the lovin’ only comes from you.
Hear my call – hear my story;
Gettin’ nothing back can make you blue.
Her boyfriend said he’d meet her here – said to her; “Now have no fear”.
He said their love was much too strong to break.
Well all night long she sat alone, and later cried, when on the phone
he said their love was just a sad mistake!
No it ain’t all hunky-dory –
when the lovin’ only comes from you.
Hear my call – hear my story;
Gettin’ nothing back can make you blue.
So many times it ended sad. Lonely, feeling much too bad –
Tried to hope – but it was all a dream.
She decided to herself, best to hide upon the shelf,
when she found out that love ain’t what it seems.
No it ain’t all hunky-dory –
when the lovin’ only comes from you.
Hear my call – hear my story;
Gettin’ nothing back can make you blue.
So if you’re gonna give your heart – If you’re lovin’ from the start,
just make sure it’s comin’ back your way.
If you’re goin’ through that gate, think before it gets too late.
I’ve been there and this is what i say . . .
(Instrumental)
No it ain’t all hunky-dory –
when the lovin’ only comes from you.
Hear my call – hear my story;
I said gettin’ nothing back can make you blue.
Yeah gettin’ nothing back can make you blue.
4. A Man Named Martin
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
I know a man named Martin – When he paints, he puts his heart in.
Always willing to take part in – Always ready with a smile.
And he’s handy with a banjo – has a voice sweet as a mango
Spent some time across in Glasgow and Ontario for a while.
And he’s happy teaching others how to paint
Pretty flowers and a cottage oh so quaint
In this pain-filled world all art is a fine reminder
God is love – helps us agree; we should be kinder.
I know a man named Martin – learned his craft in Kindergarten.
Walls with murals he can smarten – in his own artistic style.
And he likes to bang a beat-box – It doubles up as a wee seat-box
Everybody says the beat rocks and his winsome words beguile.
And he’s happy teaching others how to paint
Pretty Plumbridge hills and valleys oh so quaint
In this hate-filled world all art is a fine reminder
God is love – helps us agree; we should be kinder.
(instrumental)
But there’s even more when viewed in panorama
Not just art and music – he also does some drama!
Still he’s happy teaching others how to paint
bringing peace and love and joy without restraint
In this lonely world all art is a fine reminder
God is love – helps us agree; we should be kinder.
When this world is cruel, this song is a fine reminder;
God is love – helps us agree; we should be kinder.
5. It's OK To Talk
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
It’s OK to talk – It’s really good to talk.
It’s better to talk than to hide behind a grin.
It’s OK to cry – It can be really good to cry.
Yes it’s better to cry than to hold it all in.
How’s it worked out for you so far, saying nothing to anyone?
Is your heart rising up or constricted and strained?
If you only talk to yourself can you really find answers –
while your dark thoughts are twisted, in turmoil and in pain?
So it’s OK to talk – It’s really good to talk.
Step out of that treadmill – that prison within.
It’s OK to try – though it’s really hard to try.
It’s better to try than give up and give in.
Some thoughts are destructive. The rot can build up.
No one sees on the outside the damage within.
Silent sadness is poison you need to throw up.
Better talk to release it – Better outside than in.
I know all you want now is relief from the pain,
and you may not see how you can cope with the strain.
It may not seem like it now but things will soon change.
Each day sunrise returns but it’s never the same!
Yes it’s OK to talk – It’s really good to talk.
Release all that poison that’s under your skin.
It’s OK to try – though it’s really hard to try.
But it’s better to try than give up and give in.
It’s better to try than give up . . .
Don’t give up – don’t give in.
Yes it’s OK to talk – It’s really good to talk
ooh ooh ooh.
6. Start All Over Again
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Have you ever met someone and got off on the wrong foot?
If it was a movie, that’s when you would have said “cut”
You’re sinking in your sorrow and thinking maybe you should
just start all over again.
It’s just like a morning you wake up with a sore head.
You’ve been sleeping all night but you're not feeling rested.
You got out the wrong side, so back you go to your bed
to start all over again.
Well it’s the same old thing in a love situation,
I never seem to get it right.
Just like the times I’d argue and talk without thinkin’,
when i really ought to hold you tight.
So if you’re sad at heart and feeling you’re driftin’,
just go back to the start, you’re heart you’ll be liftin’.
You should step back then take a deep breath and hold it…..
And start all over again.
Just start all over again.
There’s not one that fell in love and got it right the first time.
If at first you don’t succeed then better joy the next time.
There’s a way to make your day so you can see the sunshine,
just start all over again.
Well it’s the same old thing in a love situation,
I never seem to get it right.
Just like the times I’d argue and talk without thinkin’,
when i really ought to hold you tight.
So if you’re sad at heart and feeling you’re driftin’,
just go back to the start, you’re heart you’ll be liftin’.

7. Needs Must
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
As I need my food for hunger, and my drink to quench my thirst,
the air I breathe, my songs to sing, I need your love the worst.
As I need my sleep to slumber, to rest and work and play,
I need (but with a passion) to be by your side each day.
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
As I need my dreams to wonder, to soar up as a dove,
to save my soul when I'm falling fast, I hold on to your love.
As the lightning comes with thunder, and the dawn awakes with dew,
So deep within, you're part of me. I was surely born for you.
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
What good is it for me to see, hear, touch, taste and smell,
without your face, voice, hand and lips, and scent I know so well?
So come softly sweet and warm my love. Let me feel your smiling face.
I need your tender words, your laugh, your love and warm embrace.
I need your tender words, your laugh, your love and warm embrace.
8. Thanks To All Those In Search And Rescue
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Composer's Note: "Tall Fescue" is the name of a particular type of grass. This grass is a very persistent grass. It is very winter hardy and can be grown successfully on a wide range of soils. While it is a high protein sustenance for livestock, "Tall Fescue" is also sown specifically to prevent devastating soil erosion.
In a similar way, hope and courage provide sustenance and are essential to preventing the devastating erosion of the human spirit; our will to carry on. Just knowing there is a dedicated team working hard in the rescue can provide such courage..
Sometimes even those once strong with hearts of joy most every day,
may feel weak, they fall and stumble; in the dark they lose their way.
If that was you or one of yours I’m sure you’d like an out-stretched hand
Friends to rescue you with kindness, raise you up so you can stand.
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have friends to light the way
They will struggle and get through – we can live another day
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have help – we’re not alone
Like the strong and Tall Fescue our hope and courage now has grown.
We need a team of workers – not just willing but ready
They’re kind and trained to give support to those who feel unsteady.
They will brave the rocks and rivers night or day in weather bleak
Volunteers who give their time to help search out and save the weak
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have friends to light the way
They will struggle and get through – we can live another day
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have help – we’re not alone
Like the strong and Tall Fescue our hope and courage now has grown.
Hold on! – Stay strong!
You should hold on! – Help is on the way! Instrumental
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have friends to light the way
They will struggle and get through – we can live another day
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue We have help – we’re not alone
Like the strong and Tall Fescue our hope and courage now has grown.
hanks to all those in Search and Rescue –
if we don’t support them we might lose them.
Thanks to all those in Search and Rescue –
Let’s pray we never have to use them!
9. Your Wounds Will Heal With Time
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
You hear all the sad lines in every love song
And even the sunshine; sometimes it too can make you cry.
Your heart should be healing but it’s taking so long
You still have that feeling and you wonder why
Just when you think there’s an end to the pain,
you’re heart is aching again
But don’t worry; your wounds will heal with time.
You think it’s the first time a heart has been broken
And yours is the only love that’s been left to die
Just when you think you're finally sane,
you’re heart is aching again
But don’t worry; your wounds will heal with time.
Yes I’ve been there too and all I can say is . .
Let God help you through – meanwhile keep the faith.
When you’ve been mistreated – used like a token
You feel you’ve been cheated, but in the by and by
Soon there’ll be an end to the pain,
you will be happy again.
So don’t worry; your wounds will heal with time.
Soon there’ll be an end to the pain,
you will be happy again.
So don’t worry; your wounds will heal with time.
10. I Want A Real Moon
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
ust like a moth around a flame at night, I was absolutely wrong
and I was dying in the process while I wrote it down in song.
Still, I’d keep coming back for the burning, if I didn’t wake real soon
and learn; to navigate, it’s going to take a real moon.
I want a real moon – I want a real moon
If it’s not too late to navigate – I want a real moon.
We had a talk about our feelings and she was absolutely right
and soon the time had slipped away and so her day became our night
Upon the rocks the ship can be wrecked and your heart will be marooned
Unless within your sight is the guiding light of a real moon.
I want a real moon – I want a real moon
If it’s not too late to navigate – I want a real moon.
Just take the good and then forget about the bad
You’ll be far more sane to know that everyone is mad.
I want to ask someone directions – just to be absolutely sure
or at least relieve the symptoms if for now there is no cure.
And if it’s true “No man’s an Island”; Well then I’ve run too far too soon.
No artificial light will guide me right – I need a real moon.
I want a real moon – I want a real moon
If it’s not too late to navigate – I want a real moon.
Instrumental
I want a real moon – I want a real moon
If it’s not too late to navigate – I want a real moon.
I want a real moon – I want a real moon
If it’s not too late to navigate – I want a real moon.

Can a man be so happy – and yet be so afraid
Every day is adventure – and a man can be made or lose all love he tries to save.
Do I really deserve you? – girl you’re so good for me.
I will always stay close to you – how can I make you see while locked in your arms I still feel free.
I don’t want to use your love – that’s my greatest fear
But I don’t want to lose your love – and drown in my tears
I’ve lost so much of a tender a touch – I could lose you.
Like the days and the seasons – I will always remain
‘Though I don’t have a reason – I keep seeing the rain
while the sun keeps on shining my heart’s in pain
I don’t want to use your love – that’s my greatest fear
But I don’t want to lose your love – and drown in my tears
I’ve lost so much of a tender a touch – I could lose you.
I don’t want to use your love – that’s my greatest fear
But I don’t want to lose your love – and drown in my tears
I’ve lost so much of a tender a touch – I could lose you.
Ooh you know I love you love you baby
You – you’re so good for me – good for me
Ooh don’t you know I love you love you baby
You’re so good for me
You’re so good for me
12. Everything's So Right
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
Reelin’ and rollin’ we don’t need consolin’
’cause right now – everything’s so right
Feelin’ like dancin’ – our senses enhancin’
Yeah right now – everything’s so right.
And we know –
there is no one that could steal our joy tonight
It’s so deep in our soul
It’s a happiness locked up good and tight
It’s a truth that we know –
There was a time we could never feel this good
It’s a glorious day –
And we won’t throw it away
Feeling exited – our heart’s so delighted
’cause right now – everything’s so right
Our heart’s feeling lifted – with peace we are gifted
So right now – everything’s so right
And we know –
there is no one that could steal our joy tonight
It’s so deep in our soul
It’s a happiness locked up good and tight
It’s a truth that we know –
There was a time we could never feel this good
It’s a glorious day –
And we won’t throw it away
Our hearts are healing good – blissful and pleasing –
Could dance on the ceiling tonight.
Can’t stop revealing joy – it’s such appealing joy.
So good just feelin’ so right!
Instrumental

13. Daddy and Daughter Song (You’re Never Alone)
Words and Music By Brendan Vincent Owens • www.BVOwens.co.uk
(Daddy sings)
If ever I am not around I want you to know how much I care
This song can be your comfort sound so you can dream and feel as though I’m still there.
And when you hear me sing this song, you’ll soon recall my warm embrace
How I held you tight in our squishy hug, and rubbed my cheek on your smiling face.
No you’re never lone when you hear my song
These notes will hold the memory of my love
No you’re never alone even if I’m away
Sing this song until I’m home with you some day
(Daughter sings)
If ever I am not around, I want you to know I miss you Daddy
This song will be your comfort sound to remember how I would kiss you Daddy
And how we played ‘can’t catch me’ with my teddies talking in my bed
How you prayed at night, and then sang me to sleep, and you planted sweet dreams in my head.
No you’re never alone when you hear my song
These words will hold the memory of my love
No you’re never alone even if I’m away
Sing this song until I’m home with you some day
(Bridge: Daddy & Daughter sing together)
So while we can, let’s make some memories,
so we can recall them if need be.
If we have to part, these words and melody
will hold us close as we sing in harmony.
(Instrumental)
No you’re never alone when you hear my song
These words will hold the memory of my love
No you’re never alone even if I’m away
Sing this song until I’m home with you some day
This is our song.
