                     MAMA, I LOVE YOU
 
MAMA I LOVE YOU, NO MATTER THE DAY
IF ONLY I COULD SEE YOU
I CARE FOR YOU IN SO MANY WAYS
YOUR LOVE GAVE ME BITHDAYS
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I WAS BORN
YOUR LOVING HEART CRIED ALL DAY LONG
 
MAMA, CAN I SIT ON YOUR KNEE
I KNOW I AM TOO FAR, BUT YOU I STILL SEE
I LOVE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TOO
YET I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
YOU GAVE ME LIFE, I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS
I AM SORRY, TOGETHER WE COULD NOT STAY
MAMA I WOULD LIKE TO SING YOU A SONG
BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED
LIFE GOES ON
 
I SAY A PRAYER FOR JESUS MOTHER
SHE LOST HER CHILD TOO
SHE SAW THE NAILS IN JESUS HANDS
SHE TOOK HIM DOWN FROM THE CROSS
I KNOW SHE UNDERSTANDS
 
MAMA, MARY WAS A MOTHER, JUST LIKE YOU
SHE GAVE BIRTH IN A MANGER, THAT MUCH IS TRUE
SHE GAVE HER SON TO GOD
SHE FELT SADNES AND CRIED AS YOU
MAMA, I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE BLUE
 
I KISS YOUR FACE FROM FAR AWAY
SOMEDAY WE WILL MEET
I WILL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
MY BIRTHDAYS ARE YOUR GIFT TO ME
YOU CHOSE TO GIVE ME LIFE, SO I CAN BE

                            YOU ARE MY ALL
 
YOU ARE MY ALL, MY EVERYTHING
I NEED YOUR LOVE WHEN THE LEAVES FALL TO EARTH
I CALL FOR YOU AS THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT
KISS ME SOFTLY SO I CAN SLEEP TONIGHT
 
I WONDER IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN
I LOVE YOU MORE, THAN IT WILL EVER SEEM
YOUR NAME IS LIKE A PRAY, WHEN I SAY IT LOW
MY HEART FEELS A GLOW
 
IN DREAMS WE MEET IN SECRET PLACES
WHEN MY LONG HAIR TOUCHES YOUR FACE
I KNOW I AM IN YOUR EMBRACE
 
YOU ARE MY ALL
A GIFT FROM GOD
I WIILL BE YOURS UNTIL THE END OF TIME
LET US MAKE LOVE AND MAKE YOU MINE

                               WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
 
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, I SEE YOUR FACE
YOUR SMILE SHINES SO BRIGHT, I AM IN PARADISE
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, I CAN SEE THE STARS
YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
 
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, YOU ARE ALL I SEE
IN MY HEART, YOU ARE HEAVEN TO ME
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, THIS FEELING NEVER ENDS
PLEASE GUIDE ME FROM THIS UNKNOWN
MAKE ME YOUR VERY OWN
 
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, I SEE BEAUTY ALL AROUND
I CAN HEAR THE BIRDS SING
WE ARE WALKING IN THE SAND
YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME
HOLDING MY HAND
 
WHEN I OPEN MY EYES, YOU ARE REALLY THERE
TO TAKE AWAY MY TROUBLES
YOU DO SO MUCH TO CARE
 
I WILL KEEP MY EYES WIDE OPEN
LOOK AT THINGS I DID NOT SEE
WE HAVE A DREAM COME TRUE
IT WILL ALWAYS LAST WITH YOU  AND ME

                                YOU IN THE MOONLIGHT
 
IN THE MOONLIGHT I SEE YOU
YOU MAY BE FAR AWAY
BUT YOU ARE WITH ME
HERE TODAY
 
YOU TURN IN THE MOONLIGHT
I CAN SEE YOUR EYES
IN THIS MOMENT
I CAN SEE YOU CRY
I RUN INTO YOUR ARMS
I HOLD YOU TENDERLY
THIS IS WHERE I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
I CAN SEE YOUR LOVE COME TO ME
 
I HEAR YOUR NAME
IN MY WHOLE LIFE
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH BEAUTY
YOU AND I WILL NEVER CHANGE
IN THE MOONLIGHT I HOLD YOUR HAND
YOUR LOVE ALONE IS ALL I NEED
TO HELP ME STAND
 
YOU KISS ME SWEETLY
YOU HAVE IT ALL MY LOVE
I NEED TO SAY
I WILL NEVER DRIFT AWAY
WHEN I SAY "I DO"

                          BE MY VALENTINE
 
YOU ARE MY VALENTINE
YOU ARE MY HEART
YOU ARE WHAT KEEPS ME STRONG
WE WILL NEVER PART
 
YOU ARE MY SHINING STAR
THAT GLOWS FOR ME AT NIGHT
I AM A PRETTY FLOWER
YOU WATER ME JUST RIGHT
 
YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO ME
I CAN ALMOST HEAR YOU BREATHE
YOU MAKE ME CALM
WITH YOU, I HAVE ALL I NEED
 
YOU ARE MY PASSION, MY LOVE
A CANDLE IN THE IN THE NIGHT
I CAN FEEL, WHEN YOU HOLD ME TIGHT
YOU ARE MY VALENTINE, TO HAVE AND TO KEEP
YOU ARE THE ONE I SEE WHEN I FALL ASLEEP

                       I WAS AN ONLY CHILD
 
I WAS AN ONLY CHILD, I HAD NO FRIENDS AT ALL
I HAD A PROBLEM LEARNING
I GUESS IT WAS MY CALL
 
I LIKED TO GO TO PARKS TO PLAY, JUMP ROPE  ALL BY MYSELF
I LISTENED TO THE BIRDS AND GAVE THEM CRMBS OF BREAD
IN THE SUMMER I GOT WET
FROM THE SPRINKLER INSTEAD
 
IT WAS A SAD LIFE LOOKING BACK
HOW WAS I TO KNOW I HAD A SECRET, I DID NOT KNOW
YOU SEE MY MOTHER WHO LOVED ME, WAS NOT REALLY MY OWN
SHE SOMETIMES HURT MY FEELINGS
THAT IS WHY I FELT ALONE
 
THERE WAS A PUZZLE ABOUT ME
WHO, I WISH I KNEW
WHEN I BECAME MIDDLE AGED
MY WHOLE WORLD FELL THROUGH
 
I HAD A MOM LIVING, WHO LOVED ME ALL HER LIFE
SHE NEVER STOPPED HOPING IN HER HEART I WOULD COME ALONG
THERE WAS TOO MUCH EMPTINESS
SHE PRAYED SO EVERY NIGHT
THAT THE CHILD SHE LOST WOULD COME BACK
AND MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT
 
I WENT FROM BEING AN ONLY CHILD, WITH NO ONE TO HOLD ON TO
THEN I FOUND I HAD TWO BROTHERS AND THREE SISTERS
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
MY SISTER CHRISTINA STARTED TO CALL ME EVERY NIGHT
SHE IS THE EYES I SEE THROUGH
TO HELP ME FIND THE LIGHT
 
IT IS SAID TO BE AN ONLY CHILD
WITH DREAMS YOU CANNOT REACH
WHEN YOU FIND A SISTER WHO IS SPECAIL
THEN YOUR LIFE, TRULY IS UNIQUE

               How do you get to Heaven
 
How do you get to Heaven
Is it beyond the moon and stars
Is it where the butterflies go
Or near the brook and streams
How do you get to Heaven
To see what you always dreamed
 
How do you get to Heaven
To see the light of the sun
How do you find your happiness
Knowing it was meant to be
All the while wishing
You could find what you need
 
How do you get to Heaven
Is it highter than a rainbow
Will there be flowers and meadows
Gardens beauitful and new
May I walk with Jesus
To live my life a new
 
How do I get to Heaven
Will Jesus appear to me
Will He tell me He has always loved me
And He wants to be one with me
 
I think I know how to get to Heaven
It is right in front of my eyes
I only have to smile at Jesus
Heaven is in His eyes

                            STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
 
AN ANGEL TOOK MY AUNT'S SOUL LAST NIGHT
GENTLY SHE SAID "COME, JESUS WILL MAKE YOU RIGHT
THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS CALLING TO YOU
IT IS PAVED IN GOLD WITH WHITE MARBLE TILE
WHEN YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP
YOU WILL SEE ALL THOSE'S WHOM YOU LOVED
THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE"
 
MY BLESSED AUNT, TOOK THE ANGELS HAND
UP THE STAIRCASE TO HEAVEN THEY WALKED
NEVER LOOKING BEHIND THEM
THEIR LIFE WAS GOING TO BE MADE NEW
JESUS WILL WELCOME THEM IN A BEAUITFUL PLACE
WHERE JESUS' LOVE IS WITHIN
"LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME
FOR SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN"
MAY SHE CLIMB THE STAIRWAY TO JESUS

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT, EVEN UNTIL DEATH
 
WRITTEN FOR MY AUNT ELLEN, MY FATHERS SISTER, WHO IS SINGING WITH THE ANGELS NOW.
