The Muse Juice

I picked away
At my old guitar
Night after night
Those ideas that
Use to come to me
Were no where in sight
It seems like
It had been years
I use to write
All those great songs
And then one night
In my sleep
My idea came along

Chorus
And they said
What have you
Been drinking

To make your Music
Come out so nice
And I said
I think I've had
A little Muse Juice
Tonight

The sweet sound
Of my music entered
Into my mind
And those amazing lyrics
They were close behind
At first I was stunned
It was the middle
Of the night
When something told me
I should get up
And write

Chorus
And they said...
What have you
Been drinking
To make your music
Come out so nice
And I said....
I think I've had
A little Muse Juice
Tonight

Sometimes life's
A mystery
We don't always
Know why
Some people are
Suppose to sing
And others they can fly
Me I have a gift
Sometimes it comes
At night
I'm suppose to
Touch peoples hearts
With the words
That I write



Do You Know My Name

I've been blessed extensively
Do you know my name
Shouldn't all this money
Take away my shame

I use to try so hard
And if I did what I was told
Everything that I touched
It turned to gold....

chorus
And......
I had all the fans
I had all the fame
All the little girls
Who wanted to be the same
I had all the fans
I had all the fame
All the little girls
They knew my name

I've been blessed extensively
Do you know my name
Have you heard about my mistakes
Have you heard about my shame

I thought everything I touched
Would always turn to gold
I thought everyone would love me
As I grew old

Because
I had all the fans
I had all the fame
All the little girls
Who wanted to be the same
I had all the fans
I had all the fame
All the little girls
They knew my name

I ve been blessed extensively
Would you know my name
If I answered honestly
I f I took the blame

Could I have another chance
To learn as I grow old
Life is much more beautiful
When it's gold............



Hide in My Humility

Why can't I just be myself
And let you know who I am
Why do I put up these walls
Why can't I let you in

Am I too afraid of what you'll find
Maybe you won't like what you see
Maybe you'll run the other way
Maybe you'll forget about me

Chorus
Let me hide in my humility
Let me wonder through the halls
Hoping I can find a way
To let down my stubborn walls

Why do I pretend to be
All these people that I'm not
What is it that I'm looking for
Why aren't I happy with what I've got

I've been blessed extensively
Yet I constantly feel pain
Stuck in sorrow for myself
Caught out in the rain

Chorus
Let me hide in my humility
Let me wonder through the halls
Hoping I can find a way
To let down my stubborn walls

How do I love someone
When all I feel is shame
What do I begin to share
When I'm not sure of my name

Do I just stumble on
Still hoping for the best
Maybe we'll just get along
And forget about the rest

Philip's Songs.......

My Sweet, Sweet Artist Man

Oh my sweet sweet artist man
You helped me live again
You breathed life into my weary soul
Please say you'll stay
Please don't ever go

Chorus
You haven't left
And yet I feel so lonely
Without you
Somehow I know I'd be
So lonely without you

My world was all rainy days
You taught me how to play
That very day I found you
There was warmth all around you

Chorus

You brought the sunshine in
I began to live again
Oh how can I thank you
My world is all about you

Chorus


Lost and Found For Love

Is there a lost and found for love
Will my heart know where to go
If it's lost can it be found
When It happens will I know

There you were standing there
With all that love in your eyes
Just what I was looking for
After so many tries

Chorus
This is such a speacial place
Does it's owner know
He has a lost and Found for love
When he takes your order
It's love to go

I met you at the coffee roasters
And much to my surprise
All this love all this laughter
Because I looked deep into your eyes

I found myself a partner
After so many tries
I was lost and I found you
I'm so happy I could cry

Chorus


I Dream About You

It seems like I'd been waiting
For so long
There you were
The answer to my dreams
So it seems
Did God send you to me
Is it possible could it be
Did he here my prayers
I think he did
I think he cared

Chorus
Yes at night
I dream about you
But I have daydreams too
And they run wild
They make me smile

It seems like I'd been
Waiting for so long
To have your arms around me
Feels like you found me
So many thoughts
Run through my head
How I love what you said
I can't get you out of my mind
Oh dear lord what did I find

Chorus

There Aren't Any Promises

What if they told me
You didn't have long to live
Would that make a difference
In the love that I give
Would I be too afraid
To share my heart
Always worrying
Where you are
Or could I take a chance
And trust my heart and know
That if I only get one day
To share your love
I wouldn't have it
Any other way

Chorus
There aren't any promises
We don't really know
How long we have here
Or when we must go
If we are blessed
With someones love
We must cherish it just because
There aren't any promises
We don't really know
How long we have here
Or when we must go

If we could look into a glass ball
And know our time will be short
Would that make a difference
Would it change my heart
Would I be too afraid
So scared of the pain
Knowing I might lose you
Would I feel the same

Chorus
There aren't any promises
We don't really know
How long we have here
Or when we must go
If we are blessed
With someones love
We must cherish it
Just because
There aren't any promises
We don't really know
How long we have here
Or when we must go
If we are blessed
With someone's love
We must cherish it
Just because........


The Reflection of My Daddy

All these photographs
Help me with my pain

I have nice memories
It's just not the same
If I could feel his arms
Around me just one more time
I could be his little girl
And he could be mine
Just one more time..

Chorus
I see the reflection of my daddy
In the window pane
If I could have one more
Chance for him to hold me
I would not complain
I would snuggle in his arms
I wouldn't wiggle away
Why didn't someone tell me
He would be gone
From me one day

We don't always realize
We get busy in out lives
We try to do our best
The days they fly by
Daddy's they get older
It seems to happen overnight
They should know we love them
We try to do what's right


Chorus
I see the reflection
Of my daddy in the window pane
If I could have one more chance
For him to hold me
I would not complain
I would snuggle in his arms
I wouldn't wiggle away
Why didn't someone tell me
He would be gone
From me one day

I see the reflection of my daddy
In the window pane
I do feel his arms around me
And it still feels the same
I just have to close
My eyes real tight
And I know he's here with me
I'll be alright...........


Recipe For Love

I have no doubt
That there's a plan
Sometimes I feel
My Grandmas hand
Her loving touch
Is guiding me
Sometimes it's her
I think I see

Chorus
And she's been gone
For fifteen years
I can see her smile
Through my tears
Somehow I know
That she helps me
Like when I found
Her recipe.............
Her recipe for love

I though I wanted
To make her minced meat pie
I found her recipe
I started to cry
Her love and warmth
Surrounded me
I closed my eyes
And I could see her love
Her recipe for love

Chorus
And she's been gone
for fifteen years
I can see her smile
through my tears
somehow I know
That she helps me
Like when I found
Her recipe..........
Her recipe for love...

When I was just a little girl
I'd climb up in her lap
She said now Lynne
I need your help
You'll have to skip that nap
We'd be  busy
Making all those pies
That Daddy loved so much
When we were through
She held me close
I felt her loving touch
I felt her love.........
Her recipe for love

And she's been gone
For fifteen years
I can see her smile
Through my tears
Somehow I know
That she helps me
Like when I found
Her recipe
Her recipe for love

I have no doubt
That there's a plan
Sometimes I feel
My Grandmas hand
