These Are The Days – Jamie Cullum

Every time this song comes up on my Shuffle, I always say: “This one goes out to you…wherever you are. I’m so thankful for you, girl…thank you for the memories.” Thought I’d share it with the world…here’s to you, girl…cheers!

These are the days that I’ve been missing,
Give me the taste, give me the joy of summer wine.
These are the days that bring new meaning,
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine.

Sometimes when the nights are closing early,
I remember you and I start to smile.
Even though now you don’t want to know me,
I get on by, and I go the extra mile.

These are the times of love and meaning,
Ice of the heart melted away, and found the light.
These are the days of endless dreaming,
Troubles of life are floatin’ away like a bird in flight.

I thought you said our love would last for ever
Believing that the tears would end for good.
I told you that we’d get through any weather
Maybe that didn’t work out, but we did the best we could.

These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste, give me the joy of summer wine.
These are the days that bring new meaning,
I feel the stillness of the sun…and I feel fine.

ps: This song is a true story…from the time we sat on your friend’s car after you told me to find the moon…and we smiled at each other, to the time where we would dream endlessly, to the taste of summer wine that I had the other day. Here’s to you, girl…I’m so proud of you!

Love So Pure – Donna Lasit

I come to You just as I am
I’m humbled by Your grace
I come to You in brokenness
Come cleanse me from my sin

Jesus, Jesus

Love so pure, Your grace so free
Pour over me, wash over me
My Lord, My King, My Everything
Pour over me, wash over me

I come to You in Your presence Lord
I come to be with You
There’s nothing else can satisfy
This thirst within my soul

No love is greater,
No one can be compared
Nothing can separate me from You

Lord, Help Me

Lord, help me
In my sorrow,
In this troubled season.
Help me.

Lord, heal me
From this open wound.
Wash me, cleanse my heart,
Make me whole again.

Lord, be alive in me.
Replace this old life
With a brand new love,
With a brand new peace.

Lord, teach me
To walk, to stay strong;
To stand in Your way
When the light is dim.

Lord, show me
How to find stillness in You.
Though my world may fall,
I know that You’re faithful.

Lord, lift me up.
Take this burdens off
My shoulders,
And take me away.

Lord, help me
In my pain,
In this unsure season.
Help me.

The same haiku…

Same old haiku
For one lovely friend of mine
That I miss so much

Take your time, my friend…
And however long it takes…
I’m willing to wait…

Love is Waiting – Brooke Fraser

In the autumn on the ground,
Between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons
While a north wind blows through

I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories – whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you

I’ll give it time, give it space
And be still for a spell
When it’s time to walk that way
We wanna walk it well

I’ll be waiting for you, baby
I’ll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we’re ready, til it’s right
Love is waiting

It’s my caution not the cold,
There’s no other hand that I would rather hold.
the climate changes,
I’m singing for the strangers about you.

Don’t keep time, slow the pace,
Honey, hold on if you can.
The bets are getting surer
Now that you’re my girl.

I could right a million songs
About the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you
And then do it all again

And like I can’t force the sun to rise
Or hasten summer’s start,
Neither should I rush my way
Into your heart

Life In Technicolor II – Coldplay

There’s a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street,
Every night there the headlights are glowing

Theres a cold war coming,
On the radio I heard,
Baby, it’s a violent world.

Oh love don’t let me go!
Won’t you take me where the streetlights glow.
I could hear it coming,
I could hear the sirens sound,
Now my feet won’t touch the ground.

Time came a-creepin’
Oh and time’s a loaded gun.
Every road is a ray of light,
It goes on.
Time only can lead you on
Still it’s such a beautiful night

Oh love don’t let me go!
Won’t you take me where the streetlights glow.
I could hear it coming,
Like a serenade of sound,
Now my feet won’t touch the ground

Gravity release me,
And don’t ever hold me down.
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
