Wait & See

I have felt so lonely, I have been so sad
I have sung so many songs where love was nothing but bad
games that were played to hurt, twist the heart all around
For some reason that I don't know
I'm ready to lay that all down
I have been so happy just being around you
Talking through the night is something few can do
I've been counting my blessings
and your name comes up
A gift from the gods handed to me
with no strings attached to cut
It's this way I feel about you
I don't want to lose my hold
This is something precious, I know
It's been so long since I have let things be
I just want to wait & see you again
I've been thinking about you, figuring out things to do
A little every day dreamin', the kind that just takes two
And I will tell you the truth
You took me by surprise
I have been so skeptical, I'd closed my heart and my eyes
It's this way I feel about you
I don't want to lose my hold
This is something precious, I know
It's been so long since I have let things be
I just want to wait & see you again

Darkness

That day when I looked out my window
Everything that used to be was gone
There was no one playing in that snow
But I saw shadows on the surface like angels
I saw darkness hugging darkness
Emptiness for miles and miles
Waiting there hoping to be found
I realized there was no one else around
Standing there, I stared out through the gray
And I prayed to a god I'd never seen
Please help me make it through this nightmare
Please give me something to live for
I want to live, I want to live

Dawn

Sun comes up every day
you don't even have to pray
It's just that way
All you have to do is
Open up your eyes
You will see the sunrise lighting up the sky
with her beautiful rays
It's something you can count on
After darkness beautiful dawn
Morning comes again
another chance, another beginning
A fresh new start
Troubles fade away
in the light of this new day
she'll show you the way
and warm up your heart
It's something you can count on,
It's something you can count on
It's something you can count on
beautiful dawn
Well, the sun rises and the sun sets
but it's when you wake up it all makes sense
Yes, the sun rises and the sun sets
Then we wake up
It all makes sense
It's something we can count on,
It's something we can count on
It's something we can count on
beautiful dawn
Sun comes up every day
We don't even have to pray
It's just that way
All we have to do is
Open up our eyes
We will see the sunrise lighting up the sky
with her beautiful rays

It'll Always Be You

Ain't no reason to wonder
You're always on my mind
Ain't no reason to worry
Everything's gonna be fine
Ain't nothin' else that comes close
to what I feel with you
If I'm gonna love someone
It'll always be you
Ain't no reason to wonder
'bout what's on my mind
Ain't no reason to hurry
We can take our time
Ain't no one else I think of
You're my dream come true
If I'm gonna love someone
It'll always be you

The Smallest Things

Life is all around in all her beauty
Profound revelation in the smallest things
A seed that cracks open, a bird that sings
I awaken every day to the joy life brings
Love is all around in all her beauty
Deepest connections in the smallest things
A sudden smile, your touch gives my heart wings
I awaken every day to the abundance love brings
I'm alive, I'm awake
I am so grateful
The darkness is finally gone
I'm alive, I'm awake
No longer searching
Light is all around and I can finally see
Light is all around and I can finally see
Everywhere around me is her beauty
Creative expression in the smallest things
The spiral of a shell, a mother calling
I awaken every day to the gifts she brings
I'm alive, I'm awake
I am so grateful
The darkness is finally gone
I'm alive, I'm awake
No longer searching
Light is all around and I can finally see
Love is all around, it's inside of me
Life is all around, it's a part of me
Life is all around (4x)
Love is all around (3x)
Love is all

Ash McDaniel Tennessee
I started playing the guitar and writing songs at 15 and have been at it ever since, even though I've "traveled the breadth of extremities" (Joni Mitchell, Hejira) between then and now. Here I am, again.
