when i woke up, i had to smile

when i woke up i had to smile
in spite of my bedtime tears
in spite of my restless dreams
where you so freely roamed

there you came and stayed with me
there you were standing close by
there you were holding my hand
there you heard my sigh

when i woke up i had to smile
for reasons that waking made clear
forgiving all that i hide, it seems,
in this heart unhomed


there your love cradles me
there grace lets my hope fly
there schooling helps me understand
there is no unanswered cry

when i woke up I had to smile
I know you, and know you're there
I know that you are safe, and cling
to the renewal your love has honed

not enough

Would it ever be enough, even if I try would I ever get through, do more than get by Would I be enough, be enough for you? Is there any hope, or the slightest chance Before the music's over will I get the dance? and would it be enough, be enough for you? Too little of me I know it's true Fading quickly into the blue I'm not enough, not enough for you This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
