Shannon
Love lasts forever, isn't that true
Shannon asked that once of me,
And with a smile on her face
I then spoke with no haste,
I said yes, and too her I did agree.
She was a child, but knew not of truth
And she wanted that story to be so true,
As sadly her own mother has been
With yet so many, many men,
So about love, Shannon had not one clue.
Though she read it in books, and heard it in stories
Maybe that's why Shannon was so confused,
As she always saw her mother
With yet again, a different lover,
So poor little Shanny the truth she never knew.
Love lasts forever, to me she cried
As she showed me a picture of another man,
Though the picture wasn't of me or her father
So she wept for the pain a little longer,
As she wished, her mother could just understand.
The church said marriage is forever, Shannon spoke
Not only for a second, or a minute, or just a day,
To her statements I nodded and I agreed
And I told her, to her words always do heed,
And then in my soul, for her I did pray.
As the day will come, when she will be a woman
And I hope not like her mother that she loves,
As all Shannon wants is too be loved forever
By one man and not one man after another,
As one love for her, will always be enough.
Love lasts forever, that's what the bible has said
As Shannon ran to me with a smile upon her face,
God, he will join two souls as one
And they will be forever from dusk until dawn.
And never, will they ever fall from Gods great grace.
I want just one man, to come into my life
That I will love with all my heart and soul,
The man who will always be at my side
Even though we might argue and fight,
But one, and I swear I will never let him go.
I will never use my man, Shannon then did swear
And never will I put anyone above him,
I also promise I will not be like my mother
As my man I will love only him and no other,
And all I ask from him, is his love to me send.
Love lasts forever, I do believe that now
As Shannon spoke with happiness in her mind,
She then slowly closed her eyes
Then I could see the tears as she cried,
As she wished, and prayed for that day in time.
She spoke with wisdom of age, when she spoke
About a forever together with your love,
She told me one day she would enjoy it all
And never will she let her love fall,
And never from her one love will she have enough.
Poor little Shannon, the sadness that she has seen
Not even allowed to know her real last name,
She was never given a father to love
Only different men, to know and then hug
Poor little Shannon I pray, that you’ll know his name.

Goodbye!
All my words have been spoken,
There's nothing left to say,
So I'll pack my stuff and leave today.
I might come back and visit you,
But for now I must go on my own and explore something new.
Now don't cry because I'll be alright.
So I must go now.
Good bye my love with ever more,
Shannon

Nothing Lasts Forever
Scene: flash is on the run and he goes to belle for help.
He sings this song with belle.
Flash: when we were young and green
We shared our dreams together,
And you were my friend.
Belle: we had our good times pal,
We thought theyd last forever.
But nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Time goes by and people change
Its best we go our separate ways
And it was wrong to think our love would never end
My friend
Nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Time goes by it takes us all,
Nations crumble and empires fall
And who are we
To think that we would always be,
You see nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Flash: I know that youll survive
And youll get by whatever.
Though you say goodbye.
My love will never die,
It will last forever.
Your love will die but mine will last forever,
Your love will fade but mine will last forever.
Your feeling might go but mine will last forever.
And though youre gone youre in my mind forever.

When Its Love
Everybodys lookin for somethin
Somethin to fill in the holes
We think a lot but dont talk much about it
til things get out of control
How do I know when its love
I cant tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when its love
Its just something you feel together
When its love
You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
How do I know when its love
I cant tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when its love
Its just something you feel together
Oh oh oh oh
Oh when its love
Oh oh oh oh
You can feel it yeah

How does it feel when its love
I cant tell you but it lasts forever

Were gonna feel this thing together
When its love
When its love
You can feel it

True Love Lasts Forever!
True love's first endeavour
Is of course just to release me,
Yet it's not meant to appease me,
But to lead to the light
And to do what proves right - expertly!
True love's oh so clever!
There's no way you can impress it,
Smudge it, cloak it and repress it!
True love knows from the start,
Thus, with grace to impart, alert me!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love's great endeavour
Turns you into a new thinker!
From your eyes it takes each blinker!
Then it shares thoughts so new,
Introducing you to your Saviour!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
Forever and ever!

River Shannon
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
The stars fell down on the factory
The cathedrals repeating, the light receding
Bells on another day
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Oh Shannon
The lightning' fell
There's an army down by the riverside
But I might be dreaming'
I can see that you don't believe me
And I might be dreaming'
If I dip into your water
Fall through my reflection
I will shadow myself anyway
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right
That I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
The soldiers are coming'
The guns are drumming' the night away
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for believing'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
I might be wasting' my life away
listening' to you
Down on under the streetlight
You shudder and beat
The edge of the waterway
And I know if I had time
I might dive in your water
Lie right down in the evening rain
I just want this pain, pain to go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for bleeding'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming

Facing The Facts (Wolfblood)
Some saw Shannon as a gormless geek;
Someone to mock; an uncool freak.
But she was a girl with a very sharp mind:
A brighter girl, it would be hard to find.
With the Beast, she became quite obsessed;
She asked friends to help her in her quest.
She had seen a hazy image in a photograph,
But, at her, the others still loved to laugh.
That the Beast existed, Shannon would swear;
But, the lack of evidence, she could not bear.
The Beast's presence, she was able to sense,
But she needed to gather some real evidence.
Being called a liar, she could not stand,
So off she went with her camera in hand.
She would often go out in the dead of night:
Within her heart, she would feel such fright;
Talking about the Beast, she soon became a bore;
Everyone had heard her story many times before.
After strange events, she had strong suspicions;
Following this, she went all out on her mission.
In the end, the shocking truth was finally revealed;
In the process, Shannon nearly got herself killed.
She soon discovered that she wasn't round the bend:
The Beast she'd been hunting was Maddy, her friend.

When You Love A Woman
In my life I see where Ive been
I said that Id never fall again
Within myself I was wrong
My searchin aint over...over
I know that
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know shes standin by your side
A joy that lasts forever
Theres a band of gold that shines waiting somewhere...oh yeah
If I cant believe that someone is true
To fall in love is so hard to do
I hope and pray tonight
Somewhere youre thinkin of me girl
Yes I know...i know that
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know shes standin by your side
A joy that lasts forever
Theres a band of gold that shines waiting somewhere...oh
Its enough to make you cry
When you see her walkin by
And you look into her eyes
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
Well you know shes standin by your side
A joy that lasts forever
Theres a band of gold that shines
When you love a woman...
When you love, love, love, love
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes

True Love Survives
On big alley stands a lady waiting
For awhile
Acting out an untold story like a
Wounded child
But the mystery of the circumstance
Wont hide
She believes true love survives
True love survives
Waiting for her long lost lover
Returning from the war
Though I know she knew the truth
She also knew much more
And the answer that she gave to all of us
Whispered low saying
True love survives
True love survives
Is she dreaming does she know
A secret I cant see
Maybe theres a trace of truth
In all that she believes
For one day I took a look deep down inside
A voice cried saying true loves alive
True love survives
Only love will last forever true love will survive
Only love will last forever true love will survive
True is love is never-ending
Its giving all and not pretending
Its holding on although your heart
Feels dead
A quarter of a century of years
Have gone by
Still the dream of this peculiar
Ladys kept alive
So Im holding tight to one who I desired
A burning fire saying true love survives
True love survives
Only love will last forever
Only love will last forever

A Love In My Mind
I don't know if I'll ever see,
The love I have in mind,
The one that last forever,
The one you search a life to find.
A love stronger than steel,
That can pass the test of time,
The love that lasts forever,
And not be dropped on a dime.
The quest has been set forth,
To see if there's a love so true,
One that people only read of,
A love such as me and you!

Sweet
Tell it like it is
He gets up real early on his mornin' drive
Down to the office for his 9 to 5
He drives a 94' two tone economy car
Loves to tell the local bands down at the bar
That he's the critic, yeah I can hook you up
I know everybody in the business
He flunked junior high band he couldn't march in time
He tried to write a song once, but he couldn't make it rhyme
He learned 2 or 3 chords on a pawn shop guitar
He just never quite had what it took to be a star
So he's a critic I work for the gazette man
I got a real job
He did a 5 star column on a band you never heard
He did a bluegrass review without an unkind word
He thought it was time to ask his boss for a raise
His boss said I can't even tell if anybody's even readin' your page
yeah
So he thought and he thought a little more
He caught a young hot star headed into town
Then he hid behind his typewriter and gunned the boy down
Here come the letters, the emails, the he faxes
They raised him to 20 thousand dollars after taxes
He's a happy critic yeah
He's rollin' in the dough
Man I could do this forever
This is easy
They're all readin' my column
Please don't tell my mama
That I write the music column for the gazette
She still thinks, that I play piano down at the cathouse
Let's get funky with this now boys
Play it on
Come on Shannon
There's ol' Bill jumpin' in
Glenn's layin' it down
Come on Shannon
Aah My man Steve
Man my fingers are gettin' tired Ya'll gonna have to hurry
This snappin' thing wearin' me out
Theres ol Shannon guess he was on a coffee break
They're gonna love you cause they already love me
Yeah It's the critic

Thank You Mom
always, always, and forever...
All, always, always, and forever...
(joel)
I'm sitting here i'm thinking back to a time when i was young...
My memory, is clear as day
I'm listening to the dishes clink, you were downstairs, you would sing
Songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you, and all the times that you stayed true
To us
Now we'll say...
I said i thank you, we'll always thank you
More than you would know, than i could ever show
And i love you, i'll always love you
There's nothing i won't do, to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever...
(chorus)
All, always, always, and forever...
You were my mom, you were my dad, the only thing i ever had was you, it's true
And even when the times got hard, you were there to let us know...that we'd get
Through
You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things,
People do
You showed me how to love my god, you taught me that not everyone... knows the
Truth
And i thank you, we'll always thank you
More than you would know, than i could ever show
And i love you, we'll always love you
There's nothing i won't do, to say these words to you
That you will live forever...
(acoustic guitar solo)
Forever...
And ever...

Forever...
And ever...
I said i thank you, we'll always thank you
More than would know, than i could ever show
And i love you, we'll always love you...
There's nothing i won't do, to say these words to you
And i thank you, we'll always thank you...
More than you would know, than i could ever show
And i love you, we'll always love you
There's nothing i won't do, to say these words to say
That, you will never, ever...

If You Love Me
If you truly love me
Love me for who I am
Don’t love me for who I am not
But love me the way I am.
Love me for my hair
And love me for my thoughts
Love me without changing me
Then you too will be the love I sought.
Love me today and tomorrow
And till the end of time
And if you make that oath to me
I will love you with all of my mind.
Love me for my eyes
And love me for the way I smile
Love me for the words I use
And love me forever and not for awhile.
Love me for my soul
And love me for my heart
Love me as I will love you
Then never shall we ever part.
So please take my hand for now
And tell me what you do see
Tell me of our future together
But first tell me, that you love me.

Special Lady
I know everybody likes to think they have the best mother,
but they're wrong
the best mother in the world is my mum,
I swear to you my mother is the best mother,
but why should you take my word for it, ask my sister or my brother,
When I was young and I was feeling helpless because I was sick,
She would come to the rescue with some soup and rub on some vicks,
I swear By Allah I love my Mother,
Shes the only one who would stick by me and never surrender,
When people said I couldn't, she said I could,
and when I got hurt, she would cry so much my living room would flood,
Masha'Allah I have the best mother,
And as long as I'm breathing I want to do everything in my power,
to make sure she never suffers,
because she did everything she could to see me smile and prosper,
even when she had a bloody hard day at work,
she would come in, smile and say 'What would you like to eat love? '
I love my mother, I never want to see another tear fall from her eyes,
And they say at her feet lies paradise,
so with my foolish ways, I'm sorry if I ever hurt her,
and I want to see her smile forever,
I can be annoying but I can never bug her,
that's why next time I see her I'm going to squeeze and hug her,
I love all mothers,
because like my mother is a mother to you,
your mother is a mother to me,
so this is the moral of the story,
I love my mother,
she is incomparable to anybody.

Forever, Together
We have a forever, together,
Be us in Heaven or on Earth
Be us together, to be one,
Or be us one when we're apart.
Forever together we shall cleave
Underneath the eyes of GOD,
Standing straight and being proud
We have a lifetime, to believe.
Forever together we shall be,
My dreams and hopes be yours
And the love you give is all I need
Whether I'd be rich or poor.
Forever there is for us to dream
And a lifetime to touch the stars,
So together, forever we shall be
As we share, the same soul and heart.
We have a forever to shape to the fullest
And a lifetime, to sail the clouds and seas
Even though we might be wishing,
But it will be only, for you and me.
There is a forever for us to live
And also a lifetime for us to cry
But it will be us, you and I together,
So our love, will never die.

Whats Forever For
(rafe vanholy)
Ive been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all Ive been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
Maybe its me whos gone crazy
cause I cant understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever for
I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is dying romance
And theyre not even trying to keep it alive
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever for
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever
Whats forever for?

Bible Verse
I asked the child why did she curse
Her answer was, she knew not a Bible verse
She never went to church or knew how to say a prayer
So all that she knew, was how to curse and swear,
I was told that her mother had taught her well
But never taught her about heaven or even hell
And all that she knew is from what she had read
While listening to the words that her mother had said.
I asked the child why did she lie
Her response to me, it is better than to cry
As things got bad and then they turned worse
That's all that she knew, and she knew not a Bible verse,
Her mother had told her the things not to do
But then they differed from other's points of view
And all the child knew was from what she had seen
As she watched her mother, which was unforeseen.
I asked the child why did she steal
Taking from others for a terrible ordeal
She answered me, as she placed the goods in her purse
'It is the way that I am', and I know not of a Bible verse
Someday soon I will probably smoke and drink
Spoke the child to me as she began to think
But then am I not the girl that my mother did raise
And every day to my mother, I give her praise.
I asked the child why did she fight
She then said to me, it's better than being polite
Her mother's honor again she had to defend
And fighting is all that she could comprehend
So the child then wiped the pain off of her face
As she slowly walked away in sadness and disgrace
The last thing she said to me as we did converse
She said, I truly wish that I knew a Bible verse.
