Why she had to go
I will never know
She was like an angel
Stuck in the wrong place
with such a pretty face
Her brown hair, her lips
the way she moved her graceful hips
Her personality shone
Making up for those who had none
Her big eyes, full of surprise
She was kind, she was a friend
and her love always she would send
She slipped away
Gave up her fight
Wanted to go to where it was light
Ride ont he starts
and watch from afar
She said goodbye, I held her hand
She tried to hold on
with all her might
but it just wasn't right
She slipped away
It wasn't meant to be
and that is how she left me
She had a smile on her face
She was never far from grace
I kissed her cheek,
then I cried
because I can't believe she died.
That Night
I remember the night at the beach
While people were asleep
We walked hand inhand
Across the golden sand
I had you, you had me
There was nowhere in the world
we'd rather be
The sound of the sea
Was a comfort to me
The starts were out, the sky was dark
There was nothing that could keep us apart
The feel of your lips
Your hands touching me
I knew we were meant to be
We made love under the night's sky
Far away from the watchful eye
After we lay in each other's arms
And I knew I would come to no harm
That was the night,
I knew I loved you
and always would do.
Empty Valley
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
In the valley below
There is no light
The grass is not green
and the flowers do not grow
The trees are still
because the wind never blows
The rain does not pour
The sun does not shine
There are no seasons
There is no sense of time
No birds sing, no crickets chirp
Nothing is alive beacuse it all died
This is a place that no one goes
You can smell pain in the air
A smell of despair
A place of dark
A place of lost hearts
The black rose grows here
you should not go near
for it is not safe my dear
People died here, people cried here
Souls departed and wars started
Blood turned to poison
Things turned bad
The valley is a place
where people were sad
Troubled times, passion crimes
People ran out of time
A place full of fear
Throughout the years
This is where people fell
and went through hell
in the empty valley
Just You
Hold my hand, fingers entwined
together forever
through the good, through the bad
You're all I'll ever have
We could fall, lose it all
face our fears, sit in tears
but with you by my side
love conquers all
