Depression hurts when you grow old
And life has passed you by
No more dreams to think about
Or even wishes to come true
...

Goodbye old friend, its hard to know your're gone
Its hard to say good bye and know I'll never see you again
Never laugh and have fun
And dream our dreams of life
...

Life is cold, bitter without the dreams of youth
No more goals to pursue, no new road to travel down
Or a different path to follow
Or walk to a different drummer
...

Fog on the mountain, no sunshine in the valley
All seems down here when I am
Wishing for things that have all come and gone
As age seems to be speeding up
...

Are you troubled, are you lonesome
Do you cry when you are alone
Then come with me to lonely street
Where everyone feels the same
...

She was a lady, a beautiful lady
A wife, a mother and grandmother, great grandmother & friend
She was gentle and kind and patient
And was loved by so many
...

My eyes aren't sad anymore, I'm happy these days
I don't cry tears in the dark
And things are looking up
Don't know how this happened
...

I wondered thru a wood today, unbidden and uncalled
It lead me up a hill, unknown to me before
And there in the middle of the forest
I found the steps - there were only three
...

Fly away sweet baby, fly away home
Your Father and all his angels are waiting for you
They need a sweet child just like you
To play with and cherish and love
...

Troubling memories, we all have them
Try not to think of them, but deep inside they seem to stay
Taking us back in time to the good and the bad
And I wish they would just go away
...

The river flows and moss grows
And I dangle my feet in the water
The water is cold, but so is my heart
As I sit and just watch time goes by
...

I cry but not one tear runs down my cheek
I hurt but only on the inside
No one knows how I feel
But why should they?
...

I got troulble in my soul
No other way to put it
Got the blues so bad I want to cry
Every sad song I ever heard
...

I sat outside on a moonlight night with stars twinking in the sky
A beautiful dress I wore of silver tears and sparkles
I wished, oh how I wished that life was not so sad
Wished for old dreams to come true again
...

I lost a friend yesterday, its still so hard to believe
We went thru so much together and cared so much
And although she moved away and carried on her life
I still remember her as if it was yesterday
...

They dug a hole in the dirty dry ground
Just big enoughg to place an ern
With no green arounrd it to make it tidy
They said a few words and thats all ttheir was
...

In my dreams last night you said hello
In a voice that was as strong as long ago
I awoke with tears in my eyes
Because you never said goodbye
...

The sad man on the corner, I watch him every day
And wonder every day just what brought
His eyes fill with tears some days
And I wonder what he remembers
...

Dare I try to take back control of my life:
Some would definitely say no
And some would say go for it
I stand inbetween
...

Its Christmas time again and the rushing will begin
I do mine in November so I can enjoy December
I want this special month to think about my Savior
The one we celebrate on this special day
...
