I am a songwriter and a poet. I also pick up my guitar and sing the sounds of my heart. I am working on a couple of new songs or poems. Here is one of my rough drafts. These words will become an alternative folk song. You can listen to some of my "poem" songs at www.nancy-heartmusic.com I SEE YOU I SEE YOU IN EVERYTHING I DO I FIND YOU UPON THE OCEAN'S BLUE IN THE MORNING, IN OUR EYES ARE ALL THE COLORS OF A SUNRISE I SEE YOU I SEE YOU OVER AND OVER I FIND YOU IN THE WIND UPON THE CLOVER THEN THE SUN SETS IN THE WEST THAT'S WHEN I KNOW I LOVE YOU BEST I SEE YOU I SEE YOU IN THE FALLING STARS I TRACE I FIND YOU WITH THE MOONLIGHT ON YOUR FACE THEN I REACH FOR YOUR HAND AGAIN YOU ALWAYS WARM MY HEART MY FRIEND I SEE YOU HERE COMES ANOTHER DAY JUST WONDER IF YOU'LL PASS MY WAY TO HOLD ME WITH YOUR LOVE SO FREE WON'T YOU LET ME KNOW YOU'RE THINKING OF ME?

I love the rain and it is raining now down here in South Texas. I thought about some love songs that Elton John did years back. I am posting these beautiful words at my journal. I write and perform heart music. If you would like to give a listen to a song or read one of my poems go to my site...:-) www.nancy-heartmusic.com Love Song LYRICS Music and lyrics by leslie duncan Available on the album tumbleweed connection The words I have to say May well be simple but they’re true Until you give your love There’s nothing more that we can do Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No one could offer you more Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen You say it’s very hard To leave behind the life we knew But there’s no other way And now it’s really up to you Love is the key we must turn Truth is the flame we must burn Freedom the lesson we must learn Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen Friends By Elton John and Bernie Taulpin I hope the day will be a lighter highway For friends are found on every road Can you ever think of any better way For the lost and weary travellers to go Making friends for the world to see Let the people know you got what you need With a friend at hand you will see the light If your friends are there then everything's all right It seems to me a crime that we should age These fragile times should never slip us by A time you never can or shall erase As friends together watch their childhood fly *We all need to alway remember how precious friends are. We should hold their hearts close and pray for them daily....Friends are gifts from God... Nancy G "Firefly"
