"I Must Be On My Way," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

Kiss me one last time,

Before I leave.

Distance calls me.

Fate befalls me.

I never thought I’d see,

This day unfold.

My heart is breaking,

But there’s no mistaking.

CHORUS:

I must be on my way.

It’s not right for me to stay,

Here with you.

I must be on my way.

I hope and wish and pray.

Your dreams come true.

VERSE:

The memories we share,

Are bittersweet,

Full of passion,

Fading faster.

Hold me in your heart,

With faith and know.

You’ll move onward.

You’ll grow stronger.

CHORUS:

I must be on my way.

It’s not right for me to stay,

Here with you.

I must be on my way.

I hope and wish and pray.

Your dreams come true.

BRIDGE:

The roads we’re traveling,

Took different turns,

But I won’t regret,

The fire that once burned.

CHORUS:

I must be on my way.

It’s not right for me to stay,

Here with you.

I must be on my way.

I hope and wish and pray.

Your dreams come true.

VAMP:

I must be on my way.

"Whisper," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

I want to tell you I love you.

I want to tell you so much more.

Don’t know if I have the words.

Don’t know if I have the courage.

CHORUS:

So don’t mind me if I whisper.

Please find a way to listen.

I have so many secrets,

That I’ve been keeping.

If I talk too loud,

My heart starts to pound.

Don’t mind me if I whisper.

VERSE:

I could scream from the mountain.

I could shout from the 50th floor.

Don’t want to exhaust my voice.

Don’t want to compete with yours.

CHORUS:

So don’t mind me if I whisper.

Please find a way to listen.

I have so many secrets,

That I’ve been keeping.

If I talk too loud,

My heart starts to pound.

Don’t mind me if I whisper.

BRIDGE:

I’ve been pushed.

I’ve tried not to shove.

I’ve been beaten.

I’ve tried on some gloves.

I’ve been knocked down.

I’ve gotten back up.

I’ve been standing tall.

I hope by now I’ve seen it all.

CHORUS:

So don’t mind me if I whisper.

Please find a way to listen.

I have so many secrets,

That I’ve been keeping.

If I talk too loud,

My heart starts to pound.

Don’t mind me if I whisper.

TAG:

Whisper, Whisper (Listen for the whisper).

"More Enough," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

The water dried up in the river,

And all you can see is the sand.

That’s what you think you are,

And I just don’t understand,

‘Cause the river runs into the ocean.

The ocean crashes to the shore.

It’s all right before you.

CHORUS:

You’re more than enough,

More than I wanted,

More than I ever,

Thought love could be.

Don’t tell me you’re not.

I’m telling you . . . you’re more,

More than enough.

VERSE:

It’s like a hillside of daisies,

That blooms in the summer wind.

Too many petals to count.

Each flower has a twin,

And the scent sweeps you into fancy.

The perfume smells like a bouquet.

That’s how I portray you.

CHORUS:

You’re more than enough,

More than I wanted,

More than I ever,

Thought love could be.

Don’t tell me you’re not.

I’m telling you . . . you’re more,

More than enough.

BRIDGE:

How much love can one person give?

How much life can one person live?

CHORUS:

You’re more than enough,

More than I wanted,

More than I ever,

Thought love could be.

Don’t tell me you’re not.

I’m telling you . . . you’re more,

More than enough.

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG:

More than enough, more than enough.

"Say Farewell," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

Say farewell to the hard times.

Say farewell to the bitter tears.

Say farewell to the dark nights.

Say farewell to the lonely years.

No more heartaches and heartbreaks.

No more foolish mistakes.

CHORUS:

Goodbye, so long,

You’re moving on,

To greater things.

Godspeed, new joy.

Oh, what a difference,

Happiness brings.

So, say farewell.

VERSE:

Say hello to the good life.

Say hello to the golden days.

Say hello to the best wine.

Say hello to the sun’s sweet rays.

No more torture and torment.

No more senseless lament.

CHORUS:

Goodbye, so long,

You’re moving on,

To greater things.

Godspeed, new joy.

Oh, what a difference,

Happiness brings.

So, say farewell.

BRIDGE:

Oh, don’t you mind,

If you don’t meet,

Misery anymore.

The less you know,

The more you learn,

And stronger than before.

CHORUS:

Goodbye, so long,

You’re moving on,

To greater things.

Godspeed, new joy.

Oh, what a difference,

Happiness brings.

So, say farewell.
