I left Guiding Light so many times, they ran out of champagne.

A Guiding Light is No More
After 72 years from radio to the dawn of television,
Before yours truly graced the face of this earth,
A soap will have its demise come this fall.
It CBS’s decision,
That since its inception at television birth,
That the current lack of interest in soaps and the economy was too tall,
For Guiding Light.
I haven’t seen much of Guiding Light; I can’t inform you of characters in it,
It came from radio and ventured into TV,
It was shot in a studio not on location,
It was full with schmaltzy music, that would be fit,
Not speaking Milton Berle and Jack Benny or a whole of celebrities that one would envy,
It merely got too expensive and landed on the chopping block for its destination.
For Guiding Light.
So a 72 year old run is pretty good, about an average human life span,
Most shows don’t make past twenty years or so,
Soaps are barely selling soap,
Some TV programs are barely make it; after a few weeks then they go into can,
So, so long Guiding Light we see you the internet or reruns, although,
The aspiring actors and actresses will have one less venue to operate in, they hope,
For Guiding Light

Champagne Si, Agua No
Folks, gull reef regrets the water shortage.
Wild night out there!
Water in the sea, water from the sky, no water in the club,
But while the pump gets repaired, lets live!
If the water cant flow, the wine can!
Champagne party in the lobby!
Champagne si, agua no
Let it rain, let it blow
To hell with the h2o
Champagne si, agua no
The gull reef clubs not too ship shape
Time for a party time for a break
Tonight all our troubles will soon disappear
Cause champagne is cheaper than water down here
Champagne si, agua no
Champagne si, agua no
A toast to the french who gave us these bubbles
A toast to your host who stands in this rubble
Running this hotel is no piece of cake
So cut me some slack people give me a break
Champagne si, agua no
Champagne si,agua no
A toast to columbus, arawaks and caribs
To pirates and patriots, rascals and thieves,
The limbo, the cha cha and what we love most
A free champagne party put on by our host
Champagne si, agua no
Champagne si, agua no

Guiding Light
the road is long, and the road is tough
but we have not traveled it enough.
we do not know what lurks in the dark corners
or behind every shadow.
but our faith and love is our guiding light.
and will always shine bright.
this light will be like a lighthouse beacon
leading you home, and knowing
you'll never be alone.
this guiding light not only shines in our hearts and minds
but will last for all of time.
this is the light of the LORD above,
who always gives his guiding love.
if you guide your heart in the right direction
it will always seek perfection.
look around and you will see
that all nations are longing to be free.
just like a ship stranded at sea
this light is there for you and me.
the mysteries to life we must unravel
for it's a long hard road that we must travel.
so seek the lord and you will find
that true love will unwind.

Evening Star
I travelled to a distant shore
I felt I had to go
An inner voice had called me there
But why I did not know
I saw the evening star rise up
Shining out to sea
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means
Evening star I can see the light
Evening star guiding me so bright
I used to tempt fate
I couldnt see straight
I faltered through my younger days
Never knowing where I was going
Then something helped me penetrate the haze
Evening star I can see the light
Evening star guiding me so bright
Now I am stronger
The haze no longer
Ruins my future destiny
Such inspirations and new sensations
Pull up these string ties chasing me
Evening star I can see the light
Evening star guiding me so bright
Im home once more, much better for
The things that I have found
Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around
I see the evening star rise up
Shining out on me
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means
Evening star I can see the light
Evening star guiding me so bright

All, Alone
All is not after all
So worthwhile
In fancy feathers fraught
And golden glowing style,
Tis better still
To lonely scale the darkest night
Naked 'cept thy own will
With none other than
Creations single guiding Light;
For the gates of hell
Look so sophisticated and swell,
But tis only in Heaven
Where the greatest riches stored
Shall forever be given.
Swim now in champagne pools alone
While just beyond your gilded-gated throne
The 'lower-ones' die diseased of thirst,
Yet one day
You will recall what God did say:
'The time is at hand mortal man
When the first shall be last
And the last shall be first.'

Uncle Dearest
My Guiding Light
Fatherly
Uncle Dearest
My guiding light
Encouraging words
Keeping watchful eye
From distance
Uncle Dearest
Connected not by blood
From motherland
Protecting
Watching my back
Mindful of past experience
An uncle, advisor and friend
In happiness and sorrow
A bond stronger
Acid tongues can't melt away
Talented poet and author
A man of note
Humble and kind
Have my praise
Conversation
Happy laughter in voice
Providing comfort
Though seen only on screen
Concern for well being
Of distant niece
Keeping big bad wolf at bay
No second chance
For their awful schemes
Uncle Dearest
Has eagle's eye
Hugs to my bright guiding light
Uncle Dearest

No More Lonely Nights
I can wait another day until I call you
Youve only got my heart on a string and everything a flutter
But another lonley night (and another, and another)
Might take forever(and another, and another)
Weve only got each other to blame
Its all the same to me love
cause I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
Youre my guiding light
Day or night Im always there
May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
Never be another
No more lonely nights
Youre my guiding light
Day or night Im always there
And I wont go away until you tell me so
No Ill never go away
Yes I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
Never be another
No more lonely nights
Youre my guiding light
Day or night Im always there
And I wont go away until you tell me so
No Ill never go away
I wont go away until you tell me so
No Ill never go away
No more lonely nights, no no ...

Whisper In The Night
Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angels gown shines white
All at once youre glad shes there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For Ill be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
Its not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For Ill be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da -- da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Help to face what the day may bring
Angels sing
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find
Snowflake bird she came
Taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You have something to live for
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For Ill be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da -- da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

My Guiding Star
You've been there through the highs
And there through the lows
You know things about me
That noone else knows
I'd trust you with my life
You'd guard me with your smile
When i look back on life
I'll know it's all been worthwhile
Because of this
Because of you
Because of all that we've been through
Because of us
And how we are
You're my guiding star
My guiding star
I couldn't ask for more
Then what you've given me
You've opened up my heart
and made me feel free
There's nowhere else i'd rather go
Nothing else i'd rather see
Then been there with you
And seeing you smile back at me
And i want to thank you
Because of this
Because of you
Because of all that we've been through
Because of us
And how we are
You're my guiding star

You First Believed
How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid
Captured in your embrace
So many times
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget
It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed
There were times
When I'd thought I'd lost you
Fearing forever was a dream
But it wasn't what it seemed
Placing your hand in mine
You could see in the dark
You were guiding my heart
It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed
How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star

A Guiding Voice
Sometimes we hear a guiding voice
that leads us away from danger.
The voice warns us
in times of troubles.
It tells us to go or beware.
Sometimes it comes in dreams
that we feel torments our soul.
This is a guiding voice
that tells us which way to go.
Some say it is a guardian angel
who watches over us
by day and by night,
telling us which way is wrong,
and which way is right.
We may never know whom
that voice belongs to,
only that it helps us
to live our life through.

The Light Of Freedom
In the silent darkness of the night
somewhere shines a faithful light.
Ever so bright to those who can see
guiding everyone who wants to flee.
There is a way one must take
a path by which one can escape.
The night is short there isn't much time
before you know it the sun will shine.
There is no doubt about the way
you cannot see it during the day.
But then again it seems to me
how hard the way is to be free.
Elusive light come shine on me
show me where I ought to be.
By the deeds I do I hope you'll find
perhaps I should not be left behind.
If you choose me as one of the few
I'll follow wherever you lead me to.

Someone Left A Light On For Me In Heaven
Somebody Left A Light On For Me In Heaven
(Dedicated to my Family, and Maya Angelou)
Somebody left a light on for me in heaven so I can find my way home
I’ve been searching and searching for the place I belong
Somebody left a light on for me in heaven because they cared enough for me,
That light is left on,
Now I can see
I can see my way through the pain and the mistrust
Through faith and obedience
Christ is the just
He is the just for all
He won’t let you fall
Somebody left a light on; yes I say this with a smile on my face
His love and compassion
I will daily embrace
That light is so bright, I can see through and through
At night He says my child take a rest
I left the light on
Because my Son the Christ died for you

Love... Thy Will Be Done
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist Your guiding light
That gives me the power 2 keep up the fight
Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done
Since I have found U, my life has just begun
And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise 2 accept
Thy will, Love, be done
Love... Thy will be mine
And make me strive 4 the glorious and devine
I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love... Thy will be done
CHORUS:
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done
Oh, no longer can I resist (No)

The light that gives me power 2 keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (No)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done {x3}
Oh!

Oh Love... Thy will be done

Wedding Band
Joey Wedding Band
JoAnn was the birth name of my wife
To me Joey was her name for a lot of our married life
One of the best things anyone could ask for in life
Is to have a good and loving wife
When it comes time for me to pass no matter day or night
I hope and pray that my wife will be my guiding light
I did not complement my wife as much as I could of
But with all my heart I gave her my love
My wife is in heaven watching over our family
Hoping we could be the best we could be
I am now living by myself and on my own
I have my dogs and my family but I feel alone
I never thought I knew how bad pain could ever be
Until my wife died and left me
At times my wife lets me know she is near
She turns off the picture frame to let me know she is here
On a chain around my neck I wear my wife’s wedding band
I also still wear mine on the finger of my left hand
To anyone who reads this poem do not let the time with your family go
Everything is gone before you know

Bumps In The Road
At another bump or roadblock ahead, we turn to the Lord God instead,
For what may be a hindrance to us, is just another opportunity to trust.
In our Lord God’s guiding Hand, in the times that we don’t understand,
As God woos every wandering soul, back to Him, Who reigns over all.
He moves upon unbelievers too, this, through the lives of me and you,
Speaking to a family or to a friend, providing them His light in the end,
When they have a trial of the same, we can lift up high The Only Name,
The One who gives light to every life, in a world riddled by man’s strife.
As many today are sorely mislead, while they continue spiritually dead,
Still spiritually darkened in their sin, without that New Life found in Him,
The life in Christ, God’s Only Son, sent to grant a new life to everyone,
That’s to everyone who will believe, new life from God they will receive.
And with our New Life we become, God’s Light to men, for God’s Son,
His Light for men, as times darken, with a message for them to harken.
Regenerated by The Spirit of God, for His purpose on this earthly sod,
Pointing all from the night to day, to help men find God’s Narrow Way.
So when we see a bump in the road, or get burdened by a heavy load,
Reflect on, to whom we belong, while allowing Him to fill us with song,
As everything shall work out right, for those called to walk in His Light,
While we’re used by Jesus Christ, on a journey from earth to Paradise.

Champagne Supernova
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the land slide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cuz people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I

Given It All
(andy hill/alan darby)
Producer for bonnie: andy hill
I have given it all
I have taken all the punches
Back into the corner I crawl
Now the dice have tumbled
How the mightly stumble and fall
I have given it all
Left to dry in the rain
Washed away by loves indifference
Broken down, twisted and lame
Hold me for a moment
Help me find myself once again
Take me in from the rain
Shelter me from this pain
We wander from the straight and narrow and we
Make the bed of nails that we lie upon
We only need the warmth of love when it has gone
Bring me in from the cold
At the end of every rainbow
Id have it all, I was told
But in time, as colours faded
Promises I traded for gold
Bring me in from the cold
And let me live with my soul
Im searching for the strength inside of me
But the road is long when youve lost your way
I reach out for a guiding light, it fades to grey
I have given it all
Thereve been times I may have hurt you
Times I should have given you more
But through it all just know Ive loved you
Think before you walk out the door
Ive got my back to the wall
I have given it all
I have given it all
