I woke up today
Just like any other day
But that all went away
Long ago
Long ago

Another sunny day
Just like the day
You went away
I don't know
I just don't know

At night
I turn the lights down low
Put our music on
Pretend you just got home
Hold you in my arms
Pour a glass of wine
Close my eyes
Drift back in time
Find you in my heart

Then I go dancing
Dancing alone
Just me on my own
Around the room without you
I think of all the years
Send me a kiss for every tear
I've cried thinking about you
And I'm dancing
I'm dancing alone
Waiting for you to come home

You did what you had to do
I know you
You wouldn't have it any other way
Some days I don't know what to do
Sometimes I blame you
For leaving me this way

Now the kids are all grown
Off on their own
I sit here all alone
Day after day
Day after day

Today is just another day
Just like yesterday
Just like every other day
'Till there's no more

Tonight
I'll turn the lights down low
Put our music on
Pretend you're home
Wrap you in my arms
Pour myself some wine
Close my eyes
Drift back in time
Hold you in my heart

And I'll go dancing
Dancing alone
On my own
Around the house with you
I'll dream of all the years
Kiss you twice for every tear
I've cried over you
And I'll keep dancing
I'll keep dancing alone
Dancing alone
Dancing alone
Until you come home to me

When you give your heart away

By Christopher Van Name

The heart is a very fragile thing. When we give it to someone, it's their's to hold. Forever. If it comes back, it's never the same. A piece is always left behind.

Broken Glass

By Christopher Van Name

The hopes and dreams we have for our loved ones are just that: OUR hopes and dreams. Sometimes it's heartbreaking to see them struggle to get on with their own lives. We can only live our own and hope they find their own path.

God Made the Whiskey

By Brian Hendrix

A simple, fun song about whiskey. It has some obvious religious undertones and it structured around the idea of faith; though that the song is saying "God made the whiskey" is more or less a testament to how good the writer thinks whiskey is and not necessarily literally claiming God made it.

SCUMBAG!

By Karianne Gabaldon

I can’t stand scumbags... can’t we all though? This is for all of the people who have messed with our hearts just for hook ups, or whatever wrong they have done to you.

Dachterasse

By Jones Lyrics

Deutscher Heart-Break-Rnb. Auch wenn die ich Person verlassen wird, steht sie meiner Ansicht nach als starke & einsichtige Person da. Lieder über Trennungen haben das Potenzial, dass sich viele Zuhörer darin wiederfinden und identifizieren können. Persönlich finde ich es wichtig, auch in negativen Gefühlen bzw. Songtexten eine gewisse Art von Optimismus zu vermitteln.
