Hello Old Friend
Hello old friend,
I never thought that I would see you again,
The universe once pulled us apart,
And now its giving us a brief moment in time,
To hold each other tight and laugh about the past.
Hello old friend,
Tell me what you’re up to, where you’ve been,
I’ve thought about you now and then, imagined you a different way,
But you haven’t changed a bit,
I love to see you smile and hear the same sweet laugh,
My dear old friend…
Who knew that we would meet right here today?
And maybe now we’ll both go our own ways,
Oh, but it’s still nice to find your familiar face,
So far away from home
My dear old friend…
And now old friend,
The time has come to say goodbye again,
I hope that life may treat you kind,
I hope that you may always find the happiness you seek,
Until we meet again somewhere along the way,
My dear old friend.

Lullaby
Lovely, Lovely, velvet blue sky,
Shines silver with stardust and moonbeams,
While you lie awake in the night,
I sit by your side and sing this lullaby.
While you sleep, crickets will sing their summer song,
Fireflies will light up and dance along,
And poets will write ‘til their pens run dry,
And crumpled up papers lie scattered in piles.
Then, the dawn will peek through soft green grass,
While dew drips like honey from ev’ry tree branch,
Slowly, gently, you will open your eyes,
To a brand new beginning, a day just begun.

Nobody Likes to Sleep Alone
It’s two AM on a midsummer night,
She tossed and turned for a couple of hours,
But she couldn’t find the dream she was looking for,
There’s someone on her mind, a boy she’s thinking of,
And oh, nobody likes to sleep alone…
So she basks in the glow of the blue light,
Stares at the screen for a while,
Then she builds up the courage to write a few lines and say,
“Hey boy, are you up?”
And oh, “Would you like to come on over and spend the night?”
He’s turning a page when the phone dings,
Smiles at that sweet, familiar chime,
He rolls out of bed, pulls on a pair of pants, and says,
“I’m on my way.”
And oh, nobody likes to sleep alone…
So he runs down the hall,
And she opens the door,
And the sparks start to fly.
He kisses her soft,
And she melts in his arms,
And a slow fire starts to burn.
What do we know about modern romance?
Except nobody likes to sleep alone…
Now it’s eight o’clock in the morning,
She hits the snooze on the alarm,
He stretches in bed, plants a kiss on her head, and says,
“I’ve got work today,”
“But maybe I will see you tonight?”
What do we know about modern romance?
Nobody likes to sleep alone.

Corazón
Cuántas palabras se quedan en la punta de la lengua,
Listas a saltar al vacío?
Cuantos “te quiero”s y “te amo”s,
Cuantos “los siento”s y “te extrano”s,
Nunca llegarán a sus destinos?
A sus destinos.
Y yo estoy aquí,
Lista para confesar todo lo que no he podido hablar,
Y tú estás aquí,
Quieres escuchar mis versos, quieres ver mi corazón abierto.
Quieres escuchar mis versos, quieres ver mi corazón abierto.
Cuantas palabras escupimos sin pensar lo que decimos?
Y en segundos nos herimos,
Y aunque es difícil olvidar, el alma nunca va a sanar,
Si no sabemos perdonar.
Y yo estoy aquí,
Lista para confesar todo lo que no he podido hablar,
Y tú estás aquí,
Quieres escuchar mis versos, quieres ver mi corazón abierto.
Quieres escuchar mis versos, quieres ver mi corazón abierto.

Funeral
By: Mon Laferte
Me levanto y te observo en la cama, estás aún dormido
Y me tomo la pastilla y no recuerdo cuándo fue la última vez que lo hicimos
Al principio fuimos una gran locura y ahora estamos tan aburridos
Nada es para siempre, amor, vamos a escuchar al corazón.
Mientras preparo el desayuno me siento terriblemente sola
De pronto siento ganas de morir, quiero escaparme de ti
Quisiera estar en el mar, que me lleven las olas, quiero dejar de respirar
No me despiertes, quiero soñar con nuestro funeral.
Todo esto navega en mi cabeza mientras lavas los platos
Luego te sientas en la mesa, hablamos del futuro de nosotros, de nuestros gatos
Me pregunto en qué momento permitimos nos ganara la costumbre
Quisiera retroceder el tiempo, cambiar nuestras
Actitudes y que esta vez el amor nos dure
Mientras preparo el desayuno me siento terriblemente sola
De pronto siento ganas de morir, quiero escaparme de ti
Quisiera estar en el mar, que me lleven las olas, quiero dejar de respirar
No me despiertes, quiero soñar con nuestro funeral.

True Love
Boy, do I love you,
I think about you every single day,
I dream about you when you’re far away from home,
Boy, do I love you?
Yes, I do!
Boy, do I love you,
When we fight, I can’t stay mad for long,
‘Cuz I just love that little button nose of yours,
Boy, do I love you?
Yes, I do!
True love can be so hard to find,
Or it can fall out of the sky into your hands,
Boy, if you want true love to last,
You’ve to to treat it kind, you’ve got to hold it tight every night.
Boy, if you love me,
No need to buy me shiny diamond rings,
Your promise to be true will do the trick for me,
Boy, if you love me,
Say you do!

Overworked & Underpaid

Overworked & Underpaid
Laying in the darkness, staring at the backs of my eyelids,
Trying to catch some sleep, but my mind keeps on running and running,
And though it’s already midnight, my boss keeps on texting and calling,
What the hell could be so urgent, can any of this wait ‘til morning?
There are millions of things left on my list,
Things I will never complete,
I don’t meant to complain, but I’m spread too thin,
I can’t keep living this way.
Overworked and underpaid
(I just wanna pay the rent and bills on time, honey)
Overworked and underpaid
(I wish I could quit, but I really need the money)
Overworked and underpaid
(I’m starting to burn out and it’s really not funny)
Overworked and underpaid!
Tell me, why do we act like we’ve all got our shit figured out?
Working five part-time jobs, can we keep ourselves from burning out?
No one is satisfied, we’re constantly pushing and shoving,
We work so hard to get by, but the hustle and grind can be crushing.
Oh, they like to dangle the carrot in front of your face,
They say “just work hard enough, and you’ll be right one day!”
Competing, comparing, it’s such a dirty game,
But we wouldn’t have to play if we made a living wage….
Oh, we’re overworked and underpaid.
Overworked and underpaid
(I just wanna pay the rent and bills on time, honey)
Overworked and underpaid
(I wish I could quit, but I really need the money)
Overworked and underpaid
(I’m starting to burn out and it’s really not funny)
Overworked and underpaid! x2

Daffodil
Born on the first day of the spring,
While snow fell quietly upon city streets,
And in the midst of endless white you were a beautiful sight,
A budding daffodil.
You bare the names of glorious queens,
For now you are fragile, but you’ll surely see,
Your ten little fingers will be strong hands to hold,
Our blooming daffodil.
Oh, I know you must be so confused,
This world can be so cold and cruel,
Our hearts so easily fray,
Our dreams can turn to gray and fade away.
Little one, close your eyes and dream a while,
When trouble comes to find you and sadness steals your smile,
The firm roots that surround you will hold you and ground you,
Our little daffodil.

Song of Gratitude
I’m thankful for the sun in the morning and the rain in the afternoon,
I’m thankful for the heat of the summer and the winter snow, too,
I’m thankful for the love that you show me, though I may not always notice,
I’m thankful for the way that you hold me in the safety of your arms.
Lately, the world has got me on my knees, praying for a change,
I know I’ve lost sight of the good things in my life,
So, this is my song of gratitude,
To keep me grounded when I’m confused,
This is my song of gratitude,
To remind me I’ve got it all when I’m with you.
Sometimes, the little things get the best of me,
I get caught in the past and the used to be’s,
Somehow, I was convinced that I could go back
To a simple time, but now I realize,
There’s no use wasting time, wishing for a different life.
Lately, the world has got me on my knees, praying for a change,
I know I’ve lost sight of the good things in my life.
So, this is my song of gratitude,
To keep me grounded when I’m confused,
This is my song of gratitude,
To remind me I’ve got it all when I’m with you.
