Dancing alone

(Christopher Van Name)

For Robin and Peter. Peter, a FDNY Lieutenant, gave his life climbing the stairs in The Twin Towers on 9/11 trying to save others. He left behind his wife, Robin and 4 children. RIP, Peter.

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.

Ich mach mir Sorgen!

By AQUABA


Das ist ein besinnlicher Text, der auch traurig stimmt, unsere Welt ist nicht mehr was sie war, überall Chaos und Verderben, die Menschen sind aus der Bahn geworfen, der Zug entgleist, wo geht die Reise noch hin?
