THE LOVE FOR YOU by Christopher M. Black

1/8/2008

Every building that's built
Will someday come down
It will age, it will buckle
It will crash to the ground

Every car that we drive
Will someday just die
The engine, the brakes
The gas tank runs dry

Every shirt that we purchase
All the clothes that we wear
They will fade and unravel
They will stain, they will tear

Every tree that's above us
Never matter how tall
It's time too will come
And then it will fall

Every day that we wake
When the sun shines so bright
We're sure we can count on
The darkness of night

Nothing lasts forever
So it seems to be true
But nothing's ever had a better chance
Than the love I feel for you

Follow Me by Christopher M. Black

1/8/2008

Follow me to nowhere

Go straight at the dead end

Turn left on a straight road

And then do it once again

Look at the sky above

To lead you down under

Stare at the sunshine

And listen to the thunder

Know not where I am going

But follow me there

Find the light in the darkness

Trace my foot prints in the air

Though this is confusing

Understand it with pride

Everything I tell you is true

Even when its a lie

So follow me to nowhere

Go straight at the dead end

Turn left on a straight road

And then do it once again

Does She Even Know (lyrics) by Christopher M. Black

1/10/2008

Does she even know
He writes about her
Does she even know
He will always be there

Does she even know
He cares so much
Does she even know
He misses her touch

She doesn't even know
She doesn't even care
She won't even notice
When hes not there

And to this day he writes a song for her
She doesn't even listen
She doesn't even listen

She doesn't even know
She never really cared
She wont even notice
When hes not there

She doesn't even know

She doesn't even know

Old Shoes by Christopher M. Black

1/10/2008

Old Black Shoes
oh how they've been around,
Old Black Shoes
walk without making
a sound.

Old Black Shoes
oh how you've turned
to Gray.
it must of been from the weather,
on those long rainy days of May.

Old Gray Shoes,
wet with holes
I am so sorry
Old Gray Shoes,
I will miss you

Stars by Christopher M. Black

1/10/2008

I tried to count the stars
but there were to many
everyday I tried again,
but again there were too many

I wanted to count the stars,
but there were too many

I looked up at the stars
and i wondered how many

I climbed a tree,
so i could get closer to the stars,
I tried to count them again,
but again there were to many.

I didn't want to give up,
how many is all i wanted to know,
oh how beautiful when they
Glow

Angel of Mine by Christopher M. Black

1/10/2008

There came an angel
On a warm sunny day
A sparkle in her eye
That took me away

I just couldnt leave her
Not even when the day was done
My love she had awakened
My heart she had won

At this I had known
I could not let her go
For she lit my heart on fire
And made my face glow

To this very day
Im glad that she?s here
God granted my wish
An Angel so dear

Ill keep her in my heart
Her face has a shine
Ill always love her
This Angel of mine.
