Darling

Darling tell me that you love me
I'm waiting here so patiently
These arms have never held someone
Their ready for your open arms, open arms
When you're gone I want you near
When you're here the world disappears
Darling I heard that you might love me
No words did ever sound so sweet
I look to your open hand
Hope that you could be my man
Could you be my man?
I fall to pieces at the mention of your love
Like a comet in the dark sky up above
As I looked at the stars that night
I hoped that soon you'd hold me tight
Your strong arms they just seem so safe
Just don't let me run away
Run away

Listening to Love Songs

Listening to love songs
Thinking of you
Wish I had the words to create to sing for you
Yet the love you have is without end
Each word can't stretch the length
The difference of you is like a potion to me
I am lost in the realm of your reality
From the despair of this world you're a haven of safety
Your kisses sing of hope's returning
When the stars fell down and stayed to play in the corn fields
The lake that gave the pink back to the sky
These are the pictures I share with you in my mind
I go back to feel the magic one more time
By listening to love songs
Thinking of you
Sing along every time to try and capture the view
Yet the beauty of our love is tomorrow is our friend
Each day brings new pictures to my head
When the shadows reflected off the mountainside
The rain drops danced above our heads
These are the pictures I share with you in my mind
I go back to feel the magic one more time
By listening to love songs, I go back to feel the magic on more time

Fear
04:26
|

There's a fear that I might lose you
There's a fear that this will end
As happiness smothers all my thoughts
Will you be honest my friend
Happiness is what we chase
Happiness is all that we're striving for
But when you have all you want
Tell me is it what you've been looking for
Or do you still ask for more
Will I hold onto you more tightly
To keep you from flying away
But does the caged bird lose its beauty
If I try to make you stay
Constancy is what we want
A plan to know our tiny world won't change
But I have had my courses wrecked
By the moon's will upon the waves
So I cannot make you stay
I am thankful for your words
So precisely measured and poured
I am thankful for the hurt
If your love should bring the sword
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is now unknown
I know I will yet see the light
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is so far away
I know I will yet see the light

Walk with Me
05:13
|
|||
Walk with me under a sky of countless stars
Show me just how much light we can find in the dark
Man is cruel, and the earth is deep
The mud you stood in was almost up to your knees
As we stare at the moon, I see life may have more pain with you
Yet something pulls me in
My life has been full of disappointments and defeats
The darkest of these came directly from me
As man was cruel to you I've been cruel to myself
My pride muddied the deepest of wells
As I stand next to you, all my hypocrisy pushes through
Yet something pulls me in
I'm better when I'm with you
More of the person that I want to be
Yet that's not why I love you
There is something deeper still
Yet that 's not why I love you
There is something stronger than my will
You speak truth when the lies stand tall
Show me what is real when this world calls
There will be days that never seem to end
But we will walk forward, my friend

Baby
04:18

Baby I was blinded when you brought those butterflies
I'd never seen beauty all around till you opened up my eyes
When you told me that you loved me I will never forget
By your car, under the stars, wearing that shirt of red
That shirt of red
Baby I was scared when that picture faded slow
You became so familiar like there was nothing more to know
And I saw you in your weakness, when you had nothing left to give
No room for pretending about the life I dreamed to live
I dreamed to live
Baby when you saw me weeping from the weight of doubt
I was a shell of the strength from when you first took me out
And you loved that bit of nothing though it had nothing left to give
You still hoped in the life that I could live
That I could live
The reality of love is so much more than I can say
I've never been so seen as when you choose to look at me that way
And it's stronger than the day when we promised to hold on tight
It's brighter when we're walking through this night
Through this night

Kissed Me
04:50
|
|||
You took my by the hand
Like so many times before
Your touch felt like no one else at all
My friend I trust you
With my heart my body and my soul
I give myself to you
So we'll pick each other up when we fall
On the night you kissed me
I knew it would never be easy
On the night you kissed me
I knew I'd rather learn with you
Though we might both be fools
I'd rather learn with you than with anyone else
Your skin is so different from mine
Rough from what the years left behind
My hands are soft and white
Yet there's no difference in the dark of night
On the night you kissed me
I knew it would never be easy
On the night you kissed me
I knew I'd rather learn with you
Though we might both be fools
I'd rather learn with you than with anyone else
On the night you kissed me
An unlikely pair drew as one
On the night you kissed me
I knew you would be my one
Now look how far we've come
And we will journey on

Lilly Aline Iowa City, Iowa
Since my start writing songs in junior high, music has been a vital part of how I process the world, as I find inspiration from folk lyrics, jazz singing styles, and pop melodies. Around Iowa City, I can be found at the Mill’s Open Mic Night and singing jazz in the School of Music. Whether in a bar, church, or concert hall, I love using guitar and voice to express beauty and hope to audiences. ... more
