With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.

You Can Contribute A Verse
Contribute a verse, contribute a verse,
Who can contribute a verse?
Contribute a verse, contribute a verse,
You can contribute a verse.
You may be an underpaid lab’rer,
Streetsweeper or overworked nurse,
A migrant without any papers,
But you can contribute a verse.
You left school at sixteen with no GCSEs?
Did you graduate from Oxford with a First?
Makes no diff’rence, not one bit, for you both are fully fit,
Well-equipped to lay before the world a verse.
You may have no notes in your wallet,
You may have no coins in your purse,
No shoes on your feet, no breakfast to eat,
But you can contribute a verse.
Are you feeling sad and lonely,
In the depths of misery?
Do you feel this Life we’re living
Is not worth the entrance fee?
Are you sure that things will not get any better?
Quite persuaded they will go from bad to worse?
No great problem, drama, crisis, doesn’t matter,
As long as you can come up with a verse.
And it’s possible you’ve heard that our days upon this earth
Are not many, are not many, precious few.
We have hardly enough time to take in all of the sights,
Or do the things that we would like to do.
For we’ve barely crawled out of the cradle,
Then they cart us away in a hearse.
So, in the meantime don’t be idle:
Be sure to contribute a verse!

I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.

How Did You Know
VERSE 1
I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile
VERSE 2
My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
[ Lyrics from: http: //www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gary_valenciano/how _did_you_know.html ]
CHORUS
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there was an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
VERSE 3
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you
Repeat Chorus & then VERSE 3

Hey just what's with me
You've been looking far too good to me
I know our love could never be now

In a little while Verse One
I'll be on my way
Got no words to express
What I need to say
Every time I think about the first time Chorus
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go
It's just not my style Verse Two
Something I can't do
After all this time
I'm scared of losing you

Is there anything Verse Three
You could let me know
Surely you could find me
A reason not to go

Dead On Arrival
i hope this is the last time

I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple.

Music
Verse 1
As far back as I recall.
You have played a major part.
Inspired me to see my place in life.
You give me reason to create.
Verse 2
Every day is brand new.
There's something you've introduced
And you have touched me in those places,
that no one but you can reach.
Chorus
You take me to this high, I feel like I can fly.
The melodies you send me (ladadadadadadada)
The music in my heart, the music in my mind,
the music in my soul the music in me.
Verse 3
Now here I am at this place.
I've tried to get to all my life.
Where I can show you all my love so much,
so many people we can touch.
Verse 4
I won't disappoint you.
Show me the world, I'll go with you.
No limitations to our journey,
please help me be all I can be.
Chorus (3 times)

Try It
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Travel by the silver line
To a place that has no time.
Why dont you try it now?
Working hard to see the light,
Let your mind take up in flight.
Why dont you try it now?
Its beautiful, seeing all the colors of the rainbow,
Beautiful, covering the people that we know.
See the color of health
Flowing from your older self.
Why dont you try it now?
Living good, stopped playing games,
Traveling the astral planes.
Why dont you try it now?

I’ve Lost One Verse With Tinkling Lines
I’ve lost one verse
With tinkling lines,
I’ve lost a verse,
It’s somewhere else…
I sought the leaf,
But couldn’t find,
Even from the disc
It vanished.
I cried and cried
For that little verse,
In my soul it lay
Like a winged word,
It lay there
Like grief and anguish.
That bright and sincere thought –
That verse remained in the past.
I’m tired of grief and sorrow,
Sorrow has seized me at last…

Terse Verse
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
In my soul thou so give
And on its worth my life I live
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
Love is a morsel of thine treasure
In one ounce is my immense pleasure
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
Sing like a muse
and in poetry fuse
my soul into verse from beauties purse

The Triple Fool
I am two fools, I know,
For loving, and for saying so
In whining poetry;
But where's that wise man, that would not be I,
If she would not deny?
Then as th' earth's inward narrow crooked lanes
Do purge sea water's fretful salt away,
I thought, if I could draw my pains
Through rhyme's vexation, I should them allay.
Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce,
For he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
But when I have done so,
Some man, his art and voice to show,
Doth set and sing my pain;
And, by delighting many, frees again
Grief, which verse did restrain.
To love and grief tribute of verse belongs,
But not of such as pleases when 'tis read.
Both are increasèd by such songs,
For both their triumphs so are published,
And I, which was two fools, do so grow three.
Who are a little wise, the best fools be.

Best Friend (Song)
Verse 1:
We may be far apart
But you’re safe here in my heart
You’re my sister
You’re my twin
Chorus:
Because you’re my best friend,
You’re my twin!

We will be together in the end
No matter where are
I know were wishin’ on the same bright star!
No matter where we go
We will always know always know…

You are my smile
You are my blood
I will surround your broken heart
With love
You are my best friend
Now and forever
We’ll be together
Now and forever
CHORUS:
Bridge:
That you’re my best friend
Till’ the end
No matter the trials
No matter the miles
That seem to separate
No on can relate
Now and forever
We are twins together
Verse 3:
Don’t worry ‘bout
Cuz’ it may never come
Don’t worry ‘bout the future
Nor the rising sun
We will always
Have a home together
Your place is here
Now and forever
CHORUS:
Because you’re my twin
You’re my best friend
We will stay together
Now and forever…
