SLIPPING AWAY

I said I wouldn't cry

The day you say goodbye

It's not like I'll never see you again

I guess the things you need

You just can't get from me

But you still can reach out to me now and then

Chorus:

My head is spinning round

All my defence is down

I have held the world in my hands

But I can't keep you from slipping away,

Mmmmm....

If time will show me grace

And you to a better place

Then I can live knowing it wasn't in vain

It hurts so much to know when love means letting go

And no one can tell me that they felt my pain

No strength can stop you now

Will someone show me how

How to live it over again

Cos I can't keep you from slipping away

I will never break your power over me

I could never shake the thought of you burning in my mind

You're all I see

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, I can't keep you from slipping away

Oh.....Slipping away,

Mmmm......

THANKS TO YOU

You gave me life,

Gave me your heart

Your shoulder when I needed to cry

You gave me hope when all my hope is gone

Wings so my dreams can fly

And I haven't told you enough

Haven't been good enough, making you see

Chorus:

My love for you will live in my heart

Until eternity's through....

I see your smile in the eyes of my child

I am who I am, Mama, Thanks to you

You gave me your word,

Gave me your voice

Gave me your everything,

Each breath of your life

You believe when I can never have

You teach my faith to survive

And I never can do enough

Never thank you enough, for all that you are

(Repeat Chorus)

I know the treasure, I'm filled with grace

Whenever I see your face

(...music....).

And I see your smile in the eyes of my child

I am who I am, Mama, Thanks to You

To you.....

ANGEL'S LULLABY

I was never alive

'Til the day I was blessed with you.

When I hold you late at night,

I know what I was put here to do.

I turn off the world and listen to you sigh,

And I will sing my Angel's Lullaby.

Know I'm forever near,

The one you can always call.

Right now all you know to fear

Are the shadows on your wall.

I'm here close enough

To kiss the tears you cry,

And I will sing my Angel's Lullaby.

So tell me how to stop the years from racing.

Is there a secret someone knows?

I'll never catch all the memories I'm chasing.

I'll never be ready to let go.

And when the world seems cold,

And you feel that all of your strength is gone,

There may be one tiny voice,

Your reason to carry on,

And when I'm not close enough

To kiss the tears you cry,

You will sing your Angel's Lullaby.
