"My First Dance," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

My first dance with you,

Was my last dance with anyone else.

My first dance with you, 

Was our only chance.

Who cares what anyone says?

I need your hand on my back.

I need your step by my side.

When I feel you breathe,

Everything is all right.

 

CHORUS:

You talk to me without any words.

As your body moves, your voice is heard.

You can hear me speaking loud and clear.

You know I want you near.

 

VERSE:

My first kiss with you, 

Was my last kiss with anyone else. 

My first touch with you, 

Was my life-long wish. 

Until then, I was a marionette. 

I need your lips on my face.

I need your arms in embrace.

When I feel your heart, 

My life has found grace. 

 

CHORUS:

You talk to me without any words.

As your body moves, your voice is heard.

You can hear me speaking loud and clear.

You know I want you near.

 

BRIDGE:

I waited so long for you, 

And now I’ll have forever, 

And ever and ever and more. 

 

CHORUS:

You talk to me without any words.

As your body moves, your voice is heard.

You can hear me speaking loud and clear.

You know I want you near.

 

HALF-VERSE:

My first dance with you,

Was my last dance with anyone else.

My first dance with you, 

Was our only chance.

Who cares what anyone says?

 

TAG:

Who cares what anyone says?

My first dance, my first dance.

"Hope is a Waking Dream," A GOSPEL SONG

VERSE:                                   

Hope is a waking dream.

She greets you in the morning,

When the sun can’t be seen.

She pierces the darkness,

Like a ray of light.

Hope is a waking dream.

Hope is a waking dream.

 

VERSE:                                   

Hope is a stubborn friend.

She reminds you to trust,

In the patterns of the wind.

She stands by your side,

When everyone flees.

Hope is a stubborn friend.

Hope is a stubborn friend.

 

BRIDGE:                                

She helps you look forward, 

When you’re overwhelmed with sorrow.

She lifts up your head and leads you on.

 

VERSE:                                   

Hope is a rushing wave.

She fills you with strength,

When you need to be brave.

She flows to the world,

Through your hands and feet.

Hope is a rushing wave.

Hope is a rushing wave.
