| SHINE I see you beneath The sky The moon So blue Dancing across the grass Warm with regret Hands outstretched Catching tears Like shooting stars without wishes Telling yourself that not every dream should come true Telling yourself that not every dance is just plain joyful And I want to scream Hold onto those wishes and dreams Hold them close to your still beating heart Don’t drop them off at the end of the road at the end of the day and and say it's been nice knowing you... goodbye Don’t give up on shooting stars Stand tall and strong and look for that glow You may not know it but The four leaf clover is next in line The rabbit will come up missing a foot You may not know it but The black cat will stop right in the nick of time Don’t give up on shooting stars and wishes and dreams Just Shine By Sheryl McCurdy |
| Welcome Home Tromped through Leaves churned by Western winds Follow me to Nebraska Running across the lonesome streets like toddlers Without a thought of traffic Scooped up and tossed into the sky Scattering to settle into Quilt blocks of red, browns and yellows A blanket of home sweet home to welcome by Sheryl McCurdy |
| Hiding Beneath Your Skin The jazz in my head Summons me play Black and white keys Spread across the flame of night Burning embers Glow sending flames Hot through fingers as they dance Wish I could sing you like a song I've always known Wish I could play you like a song I've always heard Wish the nights of quiet contemplation Weren't so awful long Moon light under sprinkles of stars Your skin glows Pearls on satin gloves Yet you cry unabashed your head raised to the heavens Howling at the unjustice of it all No more candy apple red No more songs sung outside your head You turn inside out Hiding beneath your skin Skipping stones are tossed no more The feathers that flew along the path Linger then fall No longer held there by your breath Along the rocky canyon bed you stray Searching for a rhyme and a reason, to make you want to stay Wish I could sing you like a song I've always known Wish I could play you like a song I've always heard Wish the nights of quiet contemplation Weren't so awful long I've seen you beneath the shade of the trees dancing joylessly waiting for the rain I've seen you wishing on the stars late at night staring at the heavens angry come the morning light Wish I could sing you like a song I've always known Wish I could play you like a song I've always known Wish the night of quiet contemplation Weren't so awful long by Sheryl McCurdy |
