In This Life

Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me
Life is not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered
Had once come true
In this life I was loved by you

For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure
That I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Like what I am right now

Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me
Life’s not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered
Had once come true
In this life I was loved by you
In this life I was loved by you

If U Get There Before I Do

I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat,
and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand,
but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none,
but I love your Grandma so.

We had this crazy plan to meet
and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said :

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love,
Me."

I read those words
just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her,
his eyes fill up with tears

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me."

Oasis -Sophia-

Let me be your retreat
From the stress of life,
From the battling children,
From the bills and routine life.

Let me be an oasis
Your fantasy realized
Your intimate soulmate..
I know that your heart is filled
With the love of another..
But just let me into it
Just into a corner...

Let me be an oasis
To quench your thirst
East your restlessness
And soften life's blows
Be there for me
As I am for you
Be my oasis too..

Lost Without You -Delta Goodrem-

I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
You might say
A little righteous and too proud
I just want to find a way to compromise
'Cause I believe that we can work things out

I thought I had all the answers
Never giving in
But baby since you've gone
I admit that I was wrong

All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I going to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'd never be together
And we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do ...
I'm lost without you

I keep trying to find my way
But all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you

How am I ever gonna get rid of these blues
Baby I'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind

Oh my bed's so cold at night
And I miss you more each day.
Only you can make it right
No I'm not too proud to say

All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I going to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'd never be together
And we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do ...
I'm lost without you

I keep trying to find my way
But all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you

If I could only hold you now
and make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from rolling down my face
Oh

All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'd never be together
And we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do ...
I'm lost without you

I keep trying to find my way
But all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
And all I find is I'm lost without your love
I keep trying to find my way
All I know is
I'm lost without you
Oh
I'm lost without you
