Love

It's in the chambers of my heart,
Where love and wisdom stay.
To guide me through failures and strife,
comforting me each day.
God gave His gift of love to me,
with His kind loving Grace.
Knowing that I needed his love,
In trials of life I'd face.
His strength will surely guide me,
His love will carry me through
Giving me charity, faith, and hope,
To teach me what to do.

So Late At Night

I have no one to love me,
No one to hold me tight.
That's why I'm always whistling,
So very late at night.
I have no one to love me,

No one to treat me right.
That's why I'm always whistling,
So very late at night.
With a heavy heart I sit in my window,
I whistle a tune.
In my heart I hope for a miracle from
The magic in the moon.
For one that'll treat me right,
And love me so late at night.

Young Artist

Come own young Artist and show,
The world what you can do.
Fill this old world with pure love,
Make loving dreams come true.
Come on young Artist, and Paint,
Paint this old world a new.
And fill each life with true love,
A real world is overdue.
Please, Paint out all smoke screens,
We're for real me and you.
Bring out all the sweetness,
Leave out all sadness, too.
Paint a beautiful new time
Of living and worth.
Paint in much more true happiness.
Here on this earth.
Paint true love old, and new,
Paint away all tears young Artist.
