The beautiful things that surround us,

Without them where would we be?

Tears express many things,

When our spirit is hurt inside,

When we lose someone special,

Cry tears we cannot hide.

We cry tears of laughter,

And tears we cry inside,

When harsh words are spoken,

For words can hurt our pride.

When we cry tears of happiness,

It lifts our spirit high,

And the world seems much brighter,

For through tears we all can cry.

Do not be ashamed to shed teardrops,

For it shows that you care,

Sensitive to the things around you,

And loving enough to share.

Do not hold back your teardrops,

For every tear has something to say,

Release all your pent up emotions,

And those tears will all fade away.

Daylight is falling
Theres a chill in the air
The moon, she is rising
and lights up a stare;
A creature is spreading
its wings to appear
shaking out dust
from the sleep of the day,
Arising of full glory
a king of the high way

Cautious, he steps
from his perch on a tree
surveying the scene
he full swoops fearlessly
Gliding, he heads
for the light of the lake
A glistening gem
In the moonlight’s full wake.

Fly bird, with all your will
Up in the skies
Right over the hill
Dip and dive
and tumble and weave
Its just the moonlight
you and the breeze.

Now to the city
where the light’s full bright
People dancing
through the night
Look to the sky
where the nightly bird
passes on by
right round the world

Who has ever
seen such grace
heard such a cry,
seen such a chase?
Watch out you there
down below
who knows where
he might choose to go

Imagine all that he has seen
of open land
and wide blue sea
Of sun-soaked valleys
decked in green
and mountain lakes
so high and clean

Fly bird with all your will
up in the skies
right over the hill
dip and dive
and tumble and weave
It’s just the moonlight
you and the breeze.

Now to the city
and the lights full bright.
People dancing
through the night
look to the sky
where this nightly bird
Passes on
Right round the world

Daylight is rising
he looks to the east
Heads back for home
Full from the feast
Lay down those feathers
curl up those feet.
Your work now is done
You can go to sleep!

I thought to tell you the way I feel

But knew I didn’t know how,

So i send these flowers to show instead

I hope they’ll do for now

This flower I send to show my love,

A coral rose to show my desire

Your name is now accross my heart,

The only one that I admire

The pink carnations I give to you,

To show I will never forget you

I love you now till the end of time,

I know I will forever be true

To show you this I spend lemmon blossom,

So you know to trust in me

For now our hearts are forever entwined,

We will always be

The last flower for you my love,

I send to show your lovliness

The camelia is just for you,

From the angels watching above us.
