my life is a song

Something I will forever be grateful for is the love and appreciation for music my father taught me.  Not a perfect or refined knowledge of musical notes; but a passion, almost an addiction, to the way it makes you feel.  Those songs that touch you deep down inside; that make you cry, smile, scream or long for something more.  That song you hear for the first time that says everything, in that moment, perfectly.  This, is one of those songs...

I'll try to make the sunshine brighter for you

I will even play the fool if it makes you smile

I'll try to make you laugh if there's a tear in your eye

After all is said

After all is done

I'll do anything for you.

Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hands, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright.

I'll try to make the star shine brighter for you

And I'll take you on my shoulders, hold you way up high

I'll even chase the rainbow hanging in the sky

Cos after all is said

After all is done

I'll do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright

Through the eyes of innocence

You will find, you will see

There'll come a time it all makes sense

And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside

Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright

I'll try to make the days last longer for you

From the daybreak, 'til the sunset, 'til the end of time

I'll keep you safe, away from the heartache

Cos when all is said

And when all is done

I'd do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright.

-- Come With Me by Phil Collins
