A storm is rising over the hills I feel the wind and I hear the rain It surrounds me and makes me think of you and takes away my pain My soul longs to fly and soar with the wind to return to the things I’ve lost The memory burns, the fire returns and it all comes with a cost Chorus: And I will fly. Fly. I will fly. Fly back home to you. The rain is falling over me now It hides the tears running down my face The wind blows near and settles my fears it fills that empty space It won’t be long before I’m traveling home And back to the life I miss A lifelong love from the heavens above A tenderhearted kiss Chorus And I will fly. Fly. I will fly. Fly back home to you.

Time moves slowly, when I’m with you. Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true When we were young we didn’t have a care, under a sky so blue Our love was strong, we knew we’d go somewhere And so we said I do Time moves slowly, when I’m with you. Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true The baby came I looked into his eyes, He looked so much like you The sleepless nights the never ending cries It all felt so brand new Time moves slowly, when I’m with you. Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true The days they slip away, how time flys by Even when I’m with you The kids they grow so fast, don’t blink an eye I guess the sayings true Time moves slowly, when I’m with you. Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true But still our love is strong, We’re getting by There’s nothing we can’t do Enjoying moments, making up the time When I can’t be with you Time moves slowly, when I’m with you. Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.

Place your hand in mine and feel my heart Beating faster all the while Hold me in your arms and don’t let go Stay with me tonight From a distance You have stolen my heart My desire for you will tear me apart You come near me You don’t even know How I want you My love isn’t ready to show Place your hand in mine and feel my heart Beating faster all the while Hold me in your arms and don’t let go Stay with me tonight We’re together They can’t keep us apart If it feels right this might just be a new start Whisper softly The things you want me to know Don’t hold back now I don’t want to see you go Place your hand in mine and feel my heart Beating faster all the while Hold me in your arms and don’t let go Stay with me tonight

I’m tired of writing love songs I need an upbeat tune no more wailing on guitar or howling at the moon Those sappy scrappy love songs they start to make me cringe I need a change, a different tune a life out on the fringe When all your songs are love songs you wonder what to do I’m sick of sappy love songs so instead I’ll play the uke I took your uke down off the wall to write this silly song if you dont mind I’ll put it back i’m sure it wont take long a uke song is a happy one its hard to wear a frown when playing ukulele that frown turns upside down When all your songs are love songs you wonder what to do I’m sick of sappy love songs so instead I’ll play the uke On the uke it is much easier to play that damn F chord It opens up a bigger world of writing songs galore Thank you for your instrument You are so very kind I love the way you look at me when I’m singing by your side Oh shit It turned into a love song I think that I am doomed To sing of love in every song until I’m sixty two When all your songs are love songs you wonder what to do I’m sick of sappy love songs and I guess this one is too

It started with an apple on crisp fall day He took a bite and knew What he’d be doing that day He took 5 cups of flour One pound of lard A teaspoon of salt from the mason jar Mixed it all together with a whole lot of love A warm and flaky crust from heaven above As he rolled out the dough They laughed and cried He knew her so well He didn’t even have to try He looked into her eye Offered her some pie Said they’d be together Till the day that they died A universe of love in every single bite And when you were in need He would make you Apple pie Like the dough their love Was just the right size No holes on the bottom When he laid it inside Next came the apples Peeled with care Add a pat of butter Now we’re getting somewhere When a pie’s made with love It always turns out right Doesn’t matter what is in it All your probems hide from sight He could never refuse That single request His heart was always open And he gave it his best He looked into her eye Offered her some pie Said they’d be together Till the day that they died A universe of love in every single bite And when you were in need He would make you Apple pie The love they had together Was pure and strong And she knows how much he loved her Even now that he’s gone He touched so many hearts That still to this day They’re singing his praises In so many ways He looked into her eye Offered her some pie Said they’d be together Till the day that they died A universe of love in every single bite And when you were in need He would make you Apple pie

How do you turn away From your desires now They’ve fueled you with hope And replaced your doubts How do you live your life Without trusting a soul I know there’s a story You have not yet told [ch] Oh, I’m listening Do you hear me I’m listening Please don’t fear me Soon the moon will take its place And dreams will fly if they can find a space Oh, let the stories flow Cuz I’m listening I’m listening Tomorrow will come by With the sun and warm rays And you’ll have a chance To go or to stay [ch] Oh, I’m listening Do you hear me I’m listening Please don’t fear me Soon the moon will take its place And dreams will fly if they can find a space Oh, let the stories flow Cuz I’m listening I’m listening [br] We’re all just travelers On a big round ball It’d be nice to connect On some level, that’s all Repeat ch ©2016 Kristi McKeever

Your life is a song But somewhere it all went wrong In grief, and fear you find it Hard to stay so strong You lay down to bed The voices are in your head Feeding your doubts and fears All hope and wonder fled Chorus: You hide the tears You’ve cried for years. Smiled through the pain and sorrow Hidden in your eyes. Don’t let the fear Of pain be near. You need a hand to hold And mine will be right here You hide it so well Your loved ones under your spell Afraid of the battle raging Inside; your inner hell I watch from afar Keep wondering where you are. Lost in your pain and sorrow Wishing on a star CHORUS No one knows your fear I see it from here What can I do To save you?
