Written for my middle daughter

Just Like Me
by Jay French
Album: Shatter

V1
She takes the long way home
and stops to draw the flowers
She has a hundred faces
one for every hour
She doesn't know all the words
to her favorite songs
She'll sing them anyway
won't you sing along?

LI
She smiles... just like me
She cries... just like me
She easily forgets, fills up with regrets
She doesn't even know why

CHORUS
(and) She's just like me
She wants to love the world
Just like me
She'll never do you harm
To be noticed, and have solace
To be wanted, and to stop being haunted
She's just like me.

V2
I watch her grow and change
finding her own way
I'll always carry in me
the day I walked away

L2
She tries... just like me
She flies... in her dreams
She's seen the monster's eyes, I'd give anything if I
could take that out of her, into me

CHORUS REPEAT

Winter

Winter
by Jay French
Album: Change of Heart

Leaves fall from their boughs
leaving their beauty
Snowfalls cover the ground
to quiet the night
I've seen wind & rain
enough for a lifetime
Leave me in winter's domain
enshrouded in white

Spring can bring liveliness
Autumn is color
Summer's adventure & joy
(but) Winter to me is romance & love
that wrought forth a man from a boy

Warm fires, Christmas trees
closely you hold me
Living serenity
I feel so alive
Timeless eternity
so simple an art
Free of complexity
enshrouded in white

The winter in me speaks of ages gone by
and whispers of joys to be soon
I see that peace when I look in your eyes
When I see the winter in you
