Lady Friends

toddjammin
I wrote this for all of the amazing women I have had the privilege to call friends.

My lady friends wear silly colors
dance with each other in their own company
My lady friends raise bees for honey
some dance for money and they don’t come cheap
My lady friends they’re raising families
making their ends meet with smiles on their face
My lady friends are waiting on princes, teaching Spanish to young kids, and serving drinks at the bar

My lady friends are wiser than Gandhi
can balance out your chi and teach you to breathe
My lady friends take care of their mothers
seek out adventure and live baby bear
My lady friends are proud of their choices although different voices they’re united in name
My lady friends have seen the worst in men
have grown from the ashes being reborn in the sky

All my lady friends shining bright as stars
All my lady friends you’re perfect as you are

Life Beckons

Sophie and Sonic
The first verse is still one of my favorite things I’ve ever written.

Heaven only feels like a dream when you’ve opened your eyes,
and you see all along, all the beauty outside.
Sometimes life passes by and the things that you did,
grow smaller in size, now you’ve lost all your time.
And you’re struggling through, life can be such a drain,
when you stop being new to those closest to you.
And you cease to surprise, building walls to replace,
those things that you had, when you’re young and on pace for a storybook life.
But the stories untold, every day is still new, just different to you.
So I ask that we live like our lives were one day,
and the love that we give isn’t easy to break.

If I could open up my eyes one last time I’d see you.
And if I wished upon a star I’d be wishing for you.
If I could open up my heart one last time I’d love you.
If I lost my mind I’d be lost without you

Wonderful Life

greys anatomy
My attempt at a Grey’s Anatomy type song.

I wonder if you could be my girl.
I wonder if I could spend the night.
I wonder if you think I’m cute,
even though I’m no Mr. Right.

I wonder if I’ll be your everything?
I wonder if you’ll be my shining light?
I wonder if we’ll walk an endless road in heaven.
I don’t know.
I’m just happy you’re here tonight.

I wonder if I’ll be your guy.
I wonder if you’ll feel its right.
I wonder if I’ll make you laugh,
even when I’m not there.

I wonder if you’ll be my everything?
I wonder if I’ll be your shining light?
I wonder if we’ll walk an endless road in heaven.
I’m not sure.
I’m just happy you’re here tonight.

It’s a wonderful life.
It’s a wonderful life.
It’s a wonderful life.
We live tonight.

Lullaby

Newborn

Sing them a lullaby
When a baby cries into the night
I will be there to comfort you
Sing them a lullaby
When a baby cries into the night
You will be there to play them this tune

Sleep sound my little child
You’ll grow up one day to sing your own song
For all to hear

Sleep tight my little one
May your dreams be filled with happiness and a peaceful song
Even when awake

Sleep well my pride and joy
Either girl or boy, you’ll be the most wonderful baby
In the world

And I hope that when you grow up and hear this lullaby
You’ll think of all the things we did, your Mom and I
And you’ll wake up from a dream

Singing a lullaby
When a baby cries into the night
I will be there to comfort you
Sing them a lullaby
When a baby cries into the night
You will be there to play them this tune
