All we Need

In the lyrics below I have indicated when the 'father' (1) should sing, when the 'daughter' (2) should sing and when they should sing together (1 & 2).

(1)This day is nothing new 
When it comes to dealing with you
Day turns to night
Night turns to day

And I wonder do you really know how I feel inside
Trying to make you see
I am not the enemy

I sit here at my desk
I think about what's best
Your schoolwork, did you do it?
Did you do it?
Did you go to class?
I think about your future
Your boyfriends, do they suit you?
I wonder, I worry.

All my life I have dreamed about
Having someone I can care about
Knowing that you're there
Knowing that you care, is all I need.

(2)This day is nothing new
When it comes to dealing with you
Day turns to night
Night turns to day

And I wonder do you really know how I feel inside
Trying to make you see
I am not the enemy

I lie here in my room
I think about my school
My homework, did I do it?
Did I do it?
Did I do it well enough?
I think about my future
Will I soar? You know, I'm not sure
I worry, I wonder.

All my life I have dreamed about
Having someone I can care about
Knowing that you're there
Knowing that you care, is all I need.

(1&2)All my life I have dreamed about
Having someone I can care about
Knowing that you're there
Knowing that you care, is all I need.

(1) Do you think it is easy to be me?
(2) I understand but I need you to believe
(1&2) Time is on our side
(2) Can you set me free?
This is my life before me
My chance to write a story
It's not about you only
(1)When you're gone you know I'll be lonely
(1&2)Knowing that you're there 
Knowing that you care
Is all I need.

Dusty McGee lived under a tree
Singing his songs, happy to be
Living his life, free

Dusty my boy where will you go now?
Out in the world, so so alone
Aren't you scared of what might be?

Everytime when we're together
Always such joy now and forever
Dusty, you and me - that makes three

Singing songs that don't rhyme so well
Hitting the key, I can't tell
Running the risk of overkilling this song
I don't care as long as you are there
Dusty it's Fall, there is enough to share
All the highs and all the lows

When the sun is up in the morning
I hear you knock, knock on the awning
I look out and see your smiling face

Singing songs that don't rhyme so well
Hitting the key, well I can't tell
Running the risk of overkilling this song
I don't care as long as you are there
Dusty it's Fall, it's time to share
All the highs and all the lows

The universe is there in your eyes
When I look at them it is no surprise
That I see myself staring back at you
I don't care as long as you are there
Dusty it's Fall, it's time to share
All the highs and all the lows

Forever (and a day)

Genres: Country, Indie, Oldies, Pop, Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter

I see a rainbow right on the edge of the sky
I think about pots of gold and wonder if i should try
To go out, to seek out, all that which I dreamed about

Is this my destiny? Is it calling me?

Hark! to those with ears - they say
The truth shall set you free
But until i learn to face my fears 
Home's the place to be

Whatever we believe is true and it will come to be
But we are caged inside of flesh 
and not what we can truly be.

A wise man came down from the mountain
He sat beside me
I asked him how far it was and he just smiled at me

Follow the rainbow
It's just Forever (and a day)

Point of View

Genres: Country, Indie, Oldies, Pop, Rock, Folk, Blues, Singer-Songwriter

Come help me, let me see
Let me go up there and be free
High hopes fly and they soar
They are lower down that they have been before

My heart beats like a drum
I am so excited it has come
Do you believe in the one?
Is is time to face the sun?

Up until now, waiting for the dream to come my way
but I'm not staying
I am just a boy who loves to play the game without dying
My tears are real but do I feel?
How can you say that I am lying
Truth is just another point of view

In my dreams, I have seen
This and that and everything in between
When I am gone, will they say
He didn't want it done any other way?

And in the end everyone gets what they deserve
and I'm not crying
I always tried to tell the truth,
now who's lying?
Face your fears, that much is clear
but don't say that I'm not trying
Lies are just another point of view

Up until now, waiting for the fear to go away
but I'm here waitin
I am just a man who is scared of getting old
without living.
Time goes by, they say it heals
That my heart mistrusts, there is no denying
Everything is just your point of view
                      or
I guess what I am saying is that I haven't got a clue

Days of the Week

Genres: Indie, Oldies, Pop, Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter

Monday is a lovely day
I sit around but don't delay
I think about the things I said
And wonder if my family is fed.

Tuesday is another day
I get up but don't go far away
I write some lines that fill my head
And wonder If I should be in bed instead.

Taking the time, taking it slow
Don't be afraid to let go
These are the days of our lives
Take a chance or you'll never know
Days of the week, counting them down
Say it out, say it loud
This is our world, let it be so
Take a chance or you'll never know
A static stone gathers snow

Wednesday and Thursday come
I mustn't forget to call my mum
She worries and frets so much
especially if I am out of touch
And finally the weekend comes
It's time to get up and have some fun
Don't waste the precious time we've got
Our you'll just be something that time forgot

Taking the time, taking it slow
Don't be afraid to let go
These are the days of our lives
Take a chance or you'll never know
Days of the week, counting them down
Say it out, say it loud
This is our world, let it be so
Take a chance or you'll never know
A static stone gathers snow

We come and we go, we huff and we puff
day in, day out
I know there is time, just hold the line
Don't give up

'Cos in the end
Seven days is all we have
Seven days in a week
Make them count
Don't waste time
Make them count
Don't waste time

The Sands of Time

Genres: Country, Indie, Oldies, Pop, Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter

When you go outside
and you feel the wind blow
does it make you feel afraid
or does something in you grow?

I have a name once they called.
I heard it long ago.
It's dreary and it's plain
but it's the only one I know

Can you see where we're going?
Does the meter keep in time?
I've got a sinking feeling
Today we're gonna rise

My favourite time
My favourite time
To be here with you
My favourite time
My favourite time
Stop the sands, the sands of time.

Yellow flowers upon the tree
and there's a busy bee
I'm feeling kind of strange
I must confess
I'm floating on the breeze

In the sky there is a sun
that shines for everyone
It gives us its light
so we don't fear the night.

The leaves rustle in the breeze
The wind speaking through the leaves
I've heard these words before
but I don't recall them any more

My favourite time
My favourite time
To be here with you
My favourite time
My favourite time
Stop the sands, the sands of time.

Can't you see this is where we're meant to be
Live in clouds amongst our dreams
Just let go - eternity
Breathing in, breathing out
from the day that we are born
to the day when lights go out

When you go outside
and you feel the wind blow
does it make you feel afraid
or does something in you grow?

My favourite time
to be here with you
So stop that sands of time
Forever's on our side
Have no fear to die

Ode to Dan

Genres: Country, Indie, Oldies, Pop, Folk, Singer-Songwriter

Destiny is waiting for me as I sign in to YouTube
All the times that I've wriiten these songs not knowing if they'd get through.
Don't want to wait no more, want to show you what I can do
Headphones on, pen in hand, press play
and then your music comes alive
Igniting me inside

I close my eyes, I'm flying
feel the love that you're supplying
up, up high
'til I feel I'm going to cry 
and the tears fall from my eyes

All my life
I've had songs inside my head
They were wrote but never read
so now I take another step
I, I believe
there is more I can achieve
or am I being quite naive
Am I....?

Music just echoes what I feel inside
no words are needed
let the notes be my guide
Whatever I'm feeling
I just the need the right song
Headphones on, pen in hand, press play
and then your music comes alive
Igniting me inside

I close my eyes, I'm flying
feel the love that you're supplying
up, up high
'til I feel I'm going to cry 
and the tears fall from my eyes

All my life
I've had songs inside my head
They were wrote but never read
so now I take another step
I, I believe
there is more I can achieve
or am I being quite naive
Can you help me to believe?

When I write I float above
carried on the wings of love
deep within me
there is fire, I am one
My words, a song that must be sung
Can you help me?

Your music is a gift
that is surely heaven sent
and I thank you for these songs
for this beauty that is born
and I'd like to sing along

All my life
I've had songs inside my head
They were wrote but never read
so now I take another step
I, I believe
there is more I can achieve
or am I being quite naive
Can you help me to believe?

So, these are my words
and I thank you for your time
and I hope you'll send a line
