It seems our walks take a bit longer
ev'n though they're much shorter
and a simple task seems to get harder
with every year gone past..but I don't care

Cuz when I look into your eyes
 I can see that same twinkle that I've known for many years
and know that my love for you will never die
and If tomorrow should ever end I just want you to know
I'll still hold your heart in my soul

I can't sing to you like i used to
and I can't dance much anymore
and when my bones seem to hurt more
with each step its a task.. but I don't care


(Bridge)
If I can't hold your hand anymore
If I can't say a single word and
If tomorrow should ever end I just want you to know
I'm still holding your heart in my soul


Cuz when I look into your eyes
 I can see that same twinkle that I've known for many years
and know that my love for you will never die
and If tomorrow should ever end I just want you to know
I'll still hold your heart in my soul

(Instrumental Bridge)

She Found A Better Me

She Found A Better Me
(c)Copyright 2/21/11 Slim Cahill

Lying here in the dark thinking about what went wrong
its one of those times when nothing else matters anymore
And Its only been four days since she's been gone
I'm not sure if I miss her or if I'm just alone

When She walked out the door she didnt say a word
I know she's never coming back and I won't get on my knees
 she's found another man and she thinks she's found a better me

you gotta face yourself its an agony
you gotta pace yourself or things wont be
I keep telling myself I'll be fine
But something just keeps it in my mind

She kept telling me that she needed a little more time
 I can hear it in her voice she has someone else in mind
I'll never understand how or where we went wrong
maybe we've been apart, together to long

you gotta face yourself its an agony
you gotta pace yourself or things wont be
I keep telling myself I'll be fine
But something just keeps it in my mind

 Now I wonder Is there life after what I thought it was
Or will I ever have what I never really gave before
and was it just me that made our life all wrong
I'm not sure who was right, but she's gone

you gotta face yourself its an agony
you gotta pace yourself or things wont be
I keep telling myself I'll be fine
But something just keeps it in my mind

All I can do is forget this, it isn't easy when you wonder why
And If I dont stop thinking about it I"ll never come out alive
If thats the way its gonna be then I hope she's found a better me.

Now That Your Gone

Now That Your Gone

We spent all our lives together
We loved each other ....with all our hearts
we never thought we'd ever ...be apart
but now that your gone... there's an empty feeling in my heart
alone now my hearts alone and the pain is there and it hurts so..
Letting you go I thought It'd be easy....... but no
letting you go was harder than anyone could ever know
We spent all our lives together
We loved each other ....with all our hearts
we never thought we'd ever ...be apart
But now that your gone...I miss you more oooh.. my darling
and now, and now my life seems empty and it hurt so
and with nothing I could do made it even harder
oh darling ooooooh
We spent all our lives together
We loved each other ....with all our hearts
I'll always love you...and in our hearts we'll never be apart
now that your gone.......

 Why do we walk our seperate ways

Still In Love With You

(Slim Cahill & Neil Cotton)

Don’t stand there lookin’ at me
Your eyes are breaking my heart can’t you see
Without you I don’t know what I’ll do
Cause I’m still in love baby still in love with you

Don’t stand there take me by the hand
Your skin so soft leads me to the promise land
 You can take me anywhere you want me to
Cause I’m still in love baby still in love with you

Why do we walk our separate ways
I know it wasn’t you it wasn’t me
It took two for our love to be
But now if we are on our own
We're all alone

If your gonna walk walk away
If your gonna stay please stay
Without you I don’t know what I'll do
Cause Im still in love baby still in love with you

Why do we walk our separate ways
I know it wasn’t you it wasn’t me
It took two for our love to be
But now if we are on our own
We're all alone

Without you I don’t know what I'll do
I’m still in love still in love with you
I’m still in love with you....
I'm still in love with you

Empty Bottle

Empty Bottle

You left my heart on the shelf
You left me here by myself
You walked on out of my door
You wont see me anymore
Everyone says your no good
they say I did what I could

My heart's
nothing but an empty bottle
and broken at the spout
nothing but an empty bottle
our love was poured out.

You left my heart on the shelf
You only thought of yourself
You cut my heart like a knife
You walked right out my life
Everyone says your no good
they say I did what I could

when you spilled the bottle over I thought it wasnt ment
but when you lifted it bottoms up, out our love went

You left my heart on the shelf
You left with somebody else
You put my heart in a drought
You just poured our love out
Everyone says your no good
they say I did what I could

My heart's
nothing but an empty bottle
and broken at the spout
nothing but an empty bottle
our love was poured out.

Missing You

Missing You

I remember the times we had

holding your hand, holding each other

in times of good and times of bad.

it only makes it harder

cause

Missing You is an empty feeling,

a broken heart for you

its the hardest thing I do

the hardest thing is

missing you

Nothing could take what we had

a kiss from you, kissing each other

in times of good and times of bad

it only makes it harder

cause

Missing You is an empty feeling,

a broken heart for you

its the hardest thing I do

the hardest thing is

missing you

I will always hold what we had

seeing your eyes, looking in mine

in times of good and times of bad.

it only makes it harder

cause

Missing You is an empty feeling,

a broken heart for you

its the hardest thing I do

the hardest thing is

missing you

the hardest thing I do

the hardest thing is

missing you

I See Dead People

 I See Dead People

Walking through time in a grave of darkness

with my light shining dim on the walls of shadows

tripping on lost bones of death with spirits pulling at me

I feel my death is near, but I run and hide behind a black rose.

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

Running in darkness fog rolls o’er my feet

I see the bones through the walls reaching for my flesh

I can’t let them touch my soul, my heart, my life, or just me

I feel the cold breath of lifelessness on my shoulder through the darkness

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

I can’t be found

I’m not going down

dead people all around

hide, make no sound

I can’t be found

I won’t be found

dead eyes at me

let me be

Oh running in darkness, running for a light to find

No. I won’t let them take it…this body my flesh…I can’t see

wishing my light would…my light would…my light would shine

Oh I won’t let them take it…this body is mine…this body is me

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people, I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

oh no…I’m not going…down…

Garden of Stone

 Garden Of Stone

I stand here alone in a sea of stone

a place where life is the end and time is just around the bend

with beautifull flowers placed and green grass goes to waste

In a garden where nothing grows but rows of manmade stone

So please

take me up take me away dont make me stay here

I dont want to be just another stone

in a garden no one wants to call home

in a garden of nothing but stone.

a place you visit with a tear a place you know you'll end up here

its a sea of stone that will someday bring you to a new home.

a garden no one wants to see its a garden where no one wants be

its a garden that even waits for me

So please

take me up take me away dont make me stay here

I dont want to be just another stone

in a garden no one wants to call home

in a garden of nothing but stone.

In a garden of stone

But In the end we find no choice but to be here when its our time

its our time its our time when its our time stones all in line

when its our time to be in the garden of stone in the garden of stone

so cold in the garden of stone

So please

take me up take me away dont make me stay here

I dont want to be just another stone

in a garden no one wants to call home

in a garden of nothing

of nothing but stone.

In a garden of stone

oh so cold

garden of stone

This Cowboy Rides Alone

This Cowboy Rides Alone

(c) Copyright 8/22/10 Slim Cahill

 During the night she passed away
 buried her on a hot... summer... day
He saddled up took what he needed
 a picture a locket and her memories
 looking back at the old place
 just gave another tear on his face

He would watch her sleep in her restless nights
trying to cumfort her wishing she'd be all right
As She closed her eyes she squeezed his hand so tight
He knelt down next to her,
and kissed her for one last time
Then the angles came and this man cried....
this man cried

His life no longer the same the place no longer a home
with a picture a locket and her memories
This cowboy rides alone

 He could see her standing at the door
smiling as she had done so many times before..
Hanging clothes up on the line, making dinner, a little wine
You'd see love in her eyes,
And You could see love in her smile..
Thats how everyone knew she was his life...
this man cried

But now with just a picture a locket and her on his mind
 he closed the gate for one last time

His life no longer the same the place no longer a home
with a picture a locket and her memories
This cowboy rides alone

Another tear as he turned away...
 buried her on a hot summer day..
The old place no longer a home.
.This cowboy, this cowboy rides alone..
a picture a locket and her memories
 were the only things, he'd charish these...
This cowboy rides alone
She was his only one

This Cowboy Rides Alone (Slim Cahill & Neil Cotton)

 Buried her on a hot summer day
She is gone but memories remain

He watched her sleep that restless night
He stroked her hair hoping she's all right
She closed her eyes squeezed his hand tight
He kissed her lips one last time

Then her angels came and this man cried....
this man cried

His life is no longer the same
Their place is no longer a home
With her picture in her locket and his memories
This cowboy rides alone
This cowboy rides alone

He sees her hanging clothes on the line
Humming as she’s done so many times
She makes dinner,pours red wine
There’s true love in her blue eyes.

She was his angel before she died
This man cried

His life is no longer the same
Their place is no longer a home
With her picture in her locket and his memories
This cowboy rides alone
This cowboy rides alone

He buried her one hot summer day
A tear fell as he turned away
With his life in his hand and her on his mind
He closed the gate one last, one last time.

His life is no longer the same
Their place is no longer a home
With her picture in her locket and her memories
This cowboy rides alone
This cowboy rides alone
She’s his only one
This cowboy rides alone

In Your Dreams

In Your Dreams

As the sun falls softly from the sky and the evening becomes the night

I can see her standing in the shadows of the midnight moon lit sky

Her beauty brings the daylight to the night and desert sand into oceans tide

As your mind fades into a world beyond a reality of make believe skies

In a strange land untouched and not seen in anyones opened eyes

You can see her skin without matter with more beauty than morning sunrise

The Beauty of your dreams

a dream like no other

you dream to be

you dream to be

her lover

The mind of someones world hidden from life that cant be touched by real time

In an epic universe and time made perfect by the thoughts of our minds

You can feel the texture of reality in it, thats unreal, a created world only you find

As the women of your dreams become the search of reality outside your mind

You realize only she will never leave but hold you in her dreams a lifetime

And a dream world filled with color at times, is just a creation in your mind

so

When the sun falls softly from the sky and the evening becomes the night

and you see her standing in the shadows of the midnight moon lit sky

Its only a dream, the Beauty of your dreams a dream like no other

When you dream to be, you dream to be her lover.
