Not One Of The Lonely Tonight
Bring me down to earth
Take this weight from tired shoulders
Kiss me tenderly
Let me drown in waves of your love
You part the trees so i
Can cherish things that matter
Your single voice sounds through
A room of din and chatter
Oh take me home
When the streetlights shine above
Safe in your arms
So simple to me
Safe in your arms
Oh so temporary
Safe in you arms
Oh so tenderly
Not one of the lonely tonight
Flying hectically
Through a cloud of buts and maybes
Passing frantically
Over nights and days unended
You turn my head and laugh
When my world turns sour
You give me strength to pass
Through my darkest hour
Oh take me home
When the streetlights shine above

Safe In The Arms Of Love
(pam rose/mary ann kennedy/pat bunch)
My hearts not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday Ill find a net below
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Chorus:
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday Im gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Paradise
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
One touch was all I needed to know
You were the one for me
My fate and my destiny
You smiled and all at once I could see
Id found a love so true
That I could give all to you
And suddenly I realized
That all the fortune and fame
Cant compare to the sound of your voice
Whenever you speak my name
Paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
Leave behind the heartache and the pain that Ive been through
Safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise
My heart was broken so many times
I couldnt imagine when
Id ever love again
But every time I look at you
I know that Ive been blessed
For Im sure Ive found heaven on earth
Each time I feel your caress
cause paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
Leave behind the heartache and the pain that Ive been through
Safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise
And all at once I realized
That all the fortune and fame
Cant compare to the sound of your voice
Whenever you call my name
cause paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
And leave behind the heartache and the pain that Ive been through
Im safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise

Love You Hold The Key
(olivia newton-john/john farrar)
Lonely, lonely man shes set you free now
Moved aside and left a space for me now
Wasted, wasted love walled up inside you
Open up and pour it out on me
Whisper low when you come to me
Hold me tenderly
Safe and warm in my arms tonight
Thats how its gonna be
Im wearing my heart on my sleeve
I dont have to tell you Ill never leave
Thought that heaven was close to me
But love you hold the key
Empty, empty years you left behind you
Tears and memories all cried away
Silently a love has grown between us
Now I know that I am free to say
Whisper low when you come to me
Hold me tenderly
Safe and warm in my arms tonight
Thats how its gonna be
Im wearing my heart on my sleeve
I dont have to tell you Ill never leave
Thought that heaven was close to me
But love you hold the key
Love you hold the key

Embraced in the arms of your love
Your arms of love enfold around me
and embrace me in passion so warmly
They entwine me with great emotion
Expressing your love and your devotion
I feel like a child so secure and so safe
Locked inside your sweet loving embrace
Safely enfolded in your loving charms
Held tightly and tenderly in your arms
They bring me so close to you loving heart
Oh Love of my desires nothing us shall part
I feel the strength of your love for me
When held by your arms so passionately
Outstretched so wide your love to display
'I love you so much' is what they say
With the same desire I wrap my arms round you
Cocoon you in my embrace as all lovers do
Though loved as a child in a large family
I never thought that love like ours could be
I had such low expectations of loves ability
Thought it weakened when stretched to capacity
You refused to accept any limitations on love
And showed me affection from heaven above
I have never experienced such love like this
It is a love like Christ's and as strong as His
So vast and wide and so freely given
Embracing my soul and lifting it to heaven
With enough love left over for others to share
Reaching out to them in loving care
Let's wrap ourselves in loves embrace
and lose ourselves in this love of grace
Love that will never let each other go
Love that will endure life's test and grow
Resting in the warmth of this love that's ours
Secure in the knowledge of its hidden powers
No matter what happens we're safe in the Lord
For underneath are the everlasting arms of God
Youre The Only One
I know it's gonna take some time
For you to trust this love of mine
I know he broke your heart in two
You've been betrayed and ... your afraid
That I will do the same to you
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
You ... You know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
For evry Lie you've ever heard
You can believe my every word... yes you can
Whatever heaven holds in store
Through good and bad ... I'll be your man
Stand beside you through it all
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
And you ... you know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
But your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
( Your the only one )
Make me shine just like the sun ... yes you do
( Your the only one )

Come Safe
Trace back the years, like faded scars.
Remind me that you were always there.
What I've forgotten can be learned with time.
And time is all we have.
So come home, & come safe.
You're all I've never wanted,
but needed to have to be okay.
So come home, come safely home.
Bring back what my memory's erased.
Remembering a faded smile.
Folded, tucked safely in a silver box.
You're miles away, but you're here tonight.
I'll pour over each picture until you come alive.
So come home, & come safe.
You're all I've never wanted, but needed to have to be okay.
So come home, come safely home.
When that smile hits your eyes, I know you'll stay.
Let it resonate with you, let it cover your every hole.
Let the silence fill this empty room until it becomes your homes.
Let the darkness of tonight be your guiding light,
let it drive you home.
So come home, & come safe.
You're all I've never wanted,
but needed to have to be okay.
So come home, come safely home.
One kiss goodnight, everything is alright.
So come home, & come safe.
You're all I've never wanted,
but need to have to be okay.
So come home, come safely home.
When that smile hits your eyes, I know you'll stay.

Summer Home In Your Arms
You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night delivers you to my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around you head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours
Building a summer home in your arms
I kiss you with the languid adiration of slumber
Landin random as lotto numbers
One for each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
Am I crazy, do I talk too much?
Sometimes I think your silence is a crutch
Am I mad, are you married?
Oh jesus this love stuff can sure be scary
But so sweet... so sweet
Here in your arms
Im a bit of a mess and Im gone too much
But when Im away its you I long to touch
And certain things remind me its such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
Im building a summer home in your arms
Im building a summer home in your arms
Im building a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms

Safe
[verse 1]
Here I am alone with You
Quietly I talk to You
You said the truth would set me free
So here I am surrendering
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[verse 2]
My heart is overflowing
With peace beyond all knowing
This love is deep, it shelters me
And I'm safe within Your reach
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[bridge]
Though the odds are stacked against me
Though I'm running out of time
My heart is breaking
But I know You are mine
So I let You see into me as
You hold me in Your hand
My heart is on my sleeve
I'm safe because You understand
You understand
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe

In the arms my angel
In the arms my angel
In the arms my angel you will walk with me, keeping me safe from the stormy seas.
In the arms of my angel you will pick me up to fly above the darkest sky.
In the arms of my angel he is shining his burning light of love for me.
In the arms of my angel his words of kindness is like a melody for me.
In the arms of my angel his eyes are my guide to walk along the rocky paths.
In the arms of my angel, his touch brings peace love and serenity.

Tenderly
The evening breeze caressed the trees, tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I cant forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my lips you took my love so tenderly

Follow You Follow Me
Stay with me,
My love I hope youll always be
Right here by my side if ever I need you
Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dark,
Oh I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are here
Close at hand, oh Im better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year...

Why I Run
1. Almost everyday I am able to see you
If for an hour or less
Or three hours or four
To have you in my life is lucky enough
But to see you so frequently
Is truly a gift from above
I cannot wait to get that that call from you
To see your two shadows cross the door
Or when your keys jangle in the lock
As the dog barks from the floor
I love all three of you and each love is new and old
But it is immense in power and strength
And shall never grow cold
Why do I run
I run for you
One of my two safest places
I run swift and fast
Quiet as a hunter
Fast as a car
I run to you
I run to you, my love
One of my two safest places is you
We are safe in each others arms
Although it will be I
Who will protect you from harm
Please do not worry, save it for a different day
I got you in my arms
Let’s keep it that way
Let me hear of your classes, friends, and school
And if anything troubles you
I will act like a fool
This will make you smile, I guarantee
If it doesn’t make you laugh however
You will be sorry
I will strive at anything to keep you happy
Even where I say a dirty joke
And you try to slap me
Now you are smiling let us talk of anything
Our love, our future, our luckiness, our loyalty, and dreams
For you console my nightmares, and I bring forth your sleep
Anywhere we go these arms will keep you safe
Let them be the blanket around you
They will keep you in place
They will block the cold from your body,
From the evil trying to make headway
I will rest my head next to yours
And say,
“Do you have enough room where you are”
“Yes”
“O.k.”
I will whisper in your ear, trying to give you tranquil thoughts
Although my eye is on the time,
To be ready to leave as taught
For now...
“Sleep soundly my love you are safe, I will keep your nightmares away”
Now again I run
I run to the safest place
To where I am always welcome
To where I have spent the majority of my life
My home
1054 Maple Lane
Between the thorns and lilacs
With the giant oak tree in back
I run to my family
Always happy to see me
On this Friday evening, everyone is home
My Mother, my Father, and Sister
Make sure I never am alone
Unfortunately my Mother is tired from school, my Sister getting ready for bed
My Dad is in the chair, drowsy, bobbing his head
Twilight, my dog jumps for me in glee
“Come take me out Ry-Ry” so I believe she thinks
“I have to go and pee”
Thunder, my cat’s rancorous mowing goes and floods the room
Even though it is annoying
I don’t think I would hit her with a broom
Sleepiness is on to us, time to get in bed
Now I will think about Caitlin and I inside my head
Weariness comes quick, and school looms after dawn
Tomorrow’s afternoon will be terrible
My parents want me to work on the lawn
Now I know I’m not good with rhyme schemes
But I am a poet be it at that
I am definitely no Dr. Seuss who wrote Cat in the Hat
His book Oh the Places You Will Go is better than this poem
Showing the places you are the safest
And knowing where to find them
To summarize this poem
I will make it simple as fact
I love Caitlin and My Family
And this is my way of showing that

Mothers Arms
I wish I was a child again,
Nestled in my mother's arms.
Just to be kept safe.
From the evils of this world.
Please mummy hold me.
Keep me safe.
I wish I could stay in your arms.
Please hold me.
Help me.
Please protect me mummy.
Please dont let them get me.
Hold me hold me.
Keep my safe in your arms.
Please defend me.
Dont let them get me again

Arms Of Love

Maybe tonight you're achin'
For someone you're dreamin' of
Tomorrow you'll be wakin
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love

Our Atlas
Not Atlas, with his shoulders bent beneath the weighty world,
Bore such a burden as this man, on whom the Gods have hurled
The evils of old festering lands-yea, hurled them in their might
And left him standing all alone, to set the wrong things right.
It is the way the Fates have done since first Time's race began!
They open up Pandora's box before some chosen man;
And then, aloof, they wait and watch, to see if he will find
And wake the slumbering God that dwells in every mortal's mind.
Erect, our modern Atlas stands, with brave uplifted head,
And there is courage in his eyes, if in his heart be dread.
Not dread of foes, but dread of friends, who may not pull together,
To bring the lurching ship of State safe through the stormy weather.
Oh, never were there wilder waves or more stupendous seas,
Or rougher rocks or bleaker winds, or darker days than these.
Not Washington, not Lincoln knew so grave an hour of Time
As he who now stands face to face with War's world-shaking crime.
His brain is clear, his soul is brave, his heart is just and right,
He asks no honours of the earth, but favour in God's sight;
His aim is not to wear a crown or win imperial power,
But to use wisely for the race life's terrible great hour.
O Liberty, who lights the world with rays that come from God,
Shine on Columbia's troubled track, and make it bright and broad;
Shine on each heart, and give it strength to meet its pains and losses,
And give supernal strength to one who bears the whole world's crosses;
Take from his thought the fear of friends who may not pull together,
And bring the glorious ship of State safe through wild waves and weather.

Tenderly Calling
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the different directions album, and has also been released on the john denver collection - sunshine on my shoulder album.
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly and tenderly calling
Home, come on home
Sometimes when Im feeling lonesome
And no one on earth seems to care
Im all by myself in the darkness
With no one and nothing to share
Just when it feels like its hopeless
And Ill never make it alone
I hear the voices of angels
Tenderly calling me home
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly and tenderly calling
Home, come on home
I try to keep it together
I never let on that Im scared
Still sometimes I fall to pieces
Scattered and lost everywhere
Just when it feels like theres no one
To mend all my broken down dreams
I hear a voice deep inside me
Tenderly calling to me
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly and tenderly calling
Home, come on home
So dont be afraid of the darkness
And dont run away from the storm
Stand up and face your reflection
The feelings you try to ignore
After the tempest is over
Youve let yourself come on through
Youll hear a voice in the silence
Tenderly calling to you
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly and tenderly calling
Home, come on home

Healing
My precious child, sleep well tonight.
Safe in the knowing of everything right.
Your world is your oyster, and you are its' pearl.
She'll nurture and guide you, as your dreams unfurl.
As your gentle spirit reclaims how to grow,
oceans of angels you'll come to know.
The moon and sun over, with love light your course.
And the stars of your memories, give you your voice.
Be still now my angel,
rest safe in the arms,
of lifes many treasures,
its' joys and its' charms.
