INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
ON THE OUTSIDE, I’M LOOKING IN
FROM THE INSIDE, YOUR’E LOOKING OUT
AND YOUR WORLD HAS TURNED INTO SHADES OF GREY
YOU DON’T WANT TO WALK THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
NO ONE CAN SEE INSIDE YOUR EYES
FROM THE DEPTH OF YOUR SOUL YOUR SORROW LIES
JUST YESTERDAY YOUR SKIES WERE BLUE
HIS HEART IN YOUR HANDS, HE’S LOVING YOU
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
INTO ANOTHER DAY
WHEN ALL THE RAIN WILL WASH AWAY
THEN THE WHISPERING WIND WILL GENTLY SAY
PEACE TO YOU
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
SOMETIMES STORMS COME AND WE LOSE OUR WAY
SO MANY WORDS WE WANTED TO SAY
IF ONLY THE SUN WOULD MELT AWAY
ALL THE TEARS AND FEARS
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
MAY TOMORROW SUNRISE LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD
MAY YOU FIND THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
THAT LEADS YOU THROUGH THE DARKEST NIGHT
UPON THE WINGS OF EAGLES TAKE YOUR FLIGHT
INTO A BRIGHTER DAy
INTO ANOTHER DAY
WHEN ALL THE RAIN WILL WASH AWAY
THEN THE WHISPERING WIND WILL GENTLY SAY
PEACE TO YOU
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU FALL
I'LL COME RUNNING WHEN YOU CALL
HOLD YOU UNTIL YOU FEEL ALRIGHT
FRIEND, I’LL CARRY YOU WITH ALL MY MIGHT
INTO A BRIGHTER DAY

Dedicated to Karen Thompson, one of my oldest and best friends,
for the sudden loss of the love of her life , Phillip, at age 52.
May Phillip rest in peace and touch God's throne
May Karen be comforted in this time of terrible grief
May she conquer every hill
victoriously with the strength of Jesus inside her soul
May they one day meet again in eternity
In the name of Jesus I pray this prayer for my friend,
NGB

In My Life
Written by: Lennon and McCartney
There are places I remember
all my life,
though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.
All these places have their moments
with lovers and friends
I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life
I love them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I loved you more.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.

True love never dies, it rests within this vine."
