WALKING BY MY SIDE

Lyrics Written by: Shaza Leigh
Melody Composed by: Shaza Leigh

Album: Strength Within - Shaza Leigh
There's no mountain too high
No river too wide
There's nothing I can't try
When he's walking by my side
When this life I live seems all too much
and the answers I can't find
I hand it over to the lord
and sleep on it that night
And when I awake next day it seems
it's all so crystal clear
I then wonder why I agonised
when he's walking by my side
There's no mountain too high
No river too wide
There's nothing I can't try
When he's walking by my side
And at times I may not understand
why a child can pass so young
How some can suffer so much pain
and others feel alone
There are those who are still hungry
and too many tears are cried
But we all can make a difference
when he's walking by our side
There's no mountain too high
No river too wide
There's nothing I can't try
When he's walking by my side

On a little block of ground on the outskirts of the town
Where the future’s clear and bright and not confused
Where the kids have clearly shown they can make a house a home
While growing wild and walking in my shoes
There’s nothing to regret and there are things you won’t forget
Treasures stored within your heart you’ll never loose
For such innocence and care is always lurking there
Falling running and walking in my shoes
Oh it’s good to see them walking in my shoes
As they grow a little older I know they’ll have to choose
But I have this peace of mind to catch this moment in time
Kids being kids and walking in my shoes
When I’m down the track with stock and see the chip from the old block
Doing little things that always will amuse
They’ll run and never tire and that’s what I admire
Their always happy to be walking in my shoes
As I rewind the years I see how Granddad stilled my fears
For he helped me see so many different views
Now the years are played again for my kids it’s just the same
Crying laughing walking in my shoes
Oh it’s good to see them walking in my shoes
As they grow a little older I know they’ll have to choose
But I have this peace of mind to catch this moment in time
Kids being kids and walking in my shoes

Album: Walking Through My Mind - Shaza Leigh (1990)
Well I’m back here in this honky tonk again
Each night the neon lights welcome me in
And I sit and drink ‘til closing time
Anything to stop you walking through my mind
No one sees you stop and say hello
Or hear you whisper to me soft and low
No one sees the way you smile and then
Hold me close and love me once again
I traded you for a new love I had met
Believing you’d be easy to forget
But there’s no relief from memories so fine
a pretty face can’t stop you walking through my mind
No one sees you stop and say hello
Or hear you whisper to me soft and low
No one sees the way you smile and then
Hold me close and love me once again
The barman thinks I’m talking to myself
Staring at the bottles on his shelf
He thinks I’ve left my sanity behind
But can’t see you walking through my mind
No one sees you stop and say hello
Or hear you whisper to me soft and low
No one sees the way you smile and then
Hold me close and love oh no
No one sees you stop and say hello
Or hear you whisper to me soft and low
No one sees the way you smile and then
Hold me close and love me once again

Album: Blessings - Shaza Leigh (2023)
I sift through the memories that we made together
Sorting my favourites in a pile to remember
Each special moment holds a place here in my heart
The love you shared shines in each smile from the start
There in my favourites lay the day each child was born
Every image shines through edges marked and worn
Each holiday every milestone all displayed
Our family captured in those memories we made
We’ll remember you
And all the love you gave
We’ll remember you
Each sacrifice you made
To help us make every dream come true
We’ll remember you
We’ll remember you
Now here we are as we lay you down to rest
It’s time to celebrate a life of the best
You walked this earth on a path of pure love
Now every night we’ll see you in the lights above
We’ll remember you
And all the love you gave
We’ll remember you
Each sacrifice you made
To help us make every dream come true
We’ll remember you
We’ll remember you
WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE

Have you ever spent your time
living your life
from a bottle to ease the pain
Have you been hurt so bad
you turned on a friend that cared
and then you felt so ashamed
Have you let your family down
then before you turn around
they help you in return
If you think can you recall
a time that you’ve given all
your love and then been hurt
Well I think we’ve all been there
Some of us have friend who care
others have to struggle on alone
and I guess I’ve had it all
There’s always someone when I fall
To pick me up and show me my way home
Can you remember now
when you’ve been put down
and everyone just laughed at you
Then there’s the time you turned away
You were afraid you’d fail
sad but true
Well I think we’ve all been there
Some of us have friend who care
others have to struggle on alone
and I guess I’ve had it all
There’s always someone when I fall
To pick me up and show me my way home
Yes I think we’ve all been there
Some of us have friend who care
others have to struggle on alone

WHEN A MANS HEART IS TAKEN

Lyrics Written by: Shaza Leigh
Melody Composed by: Shaza Leigh
First Recorded by: Michael Neboraczek
Released by: LBS Music Group
Album: The LBS Country Collection - Various Artists
She caught my eye across the room when we were young and free
A prettier sight I'd never seen she was meant for me
We danced all night I held her tight not wanting to let go
When a man's heart is taken he just knows
We were young and they doubted that we could see it through
But I took her hand in marriage our love simply grew
And I watched her raised our children and make our house a home
When a man's heart is taken he just knows
And we’ve laughed in countless good times
and we’ve cried a million tears
Endured hardship and life lessons with grace down the years
and on our golden anniversary we passed the test of time
and this mans heart is taken, you’re still mine
Now we've reached this milestone and it's all downhill they say
I'll gladly walk hand in hand and take what comes our way
Yes, I still love you now just like all those years ago
Cause when a man's heart is taken he just knows
And we’ve laughed in countless good times
and we’ve cried a million tears
Endured hardship and life lessons with grace down the years
and on our golden anniversary we passed the test of time
and this mans heart is taken, you’re still mine

Album: Reflections On Love - Shaza Leigh (1992)
The world seems a different place
Not having you here to embrace
You see the hurt that some go through
Never knowing it could happen to you
With you I always felt secure
That’s why it seemed so obscure
When you simply said so long
Seems I read you wrong
And when the love has gone there’s and empty space
Leaving hurt and pain to take its place
So hard to carry on when the love has gone
When the love has gone
These tear stained eyes of mine
Can’t afford to look back this time
Though my broken heart still aches
Will I learn from my mistakes
And though I know it’s finished now
I will bounce back somehow
Find the strength to pull me through
‘til I get over you
And when the love has gone there’s and empty space
Leaving hurt and pain to take its place
So hard to carry on when the love has gone
When the love has gone
And when the love has gone there’s and empty space
Leaving hurt and pain to take its place
So hard to carry on when the love has gone
When the love has gone
When the love has gone
When the love has gone
WHERE BANJO WROTE MATILDA

Lyrics Written by: Shaza Leigh
Melody Composed by: Shaza Leigh
First Recorded by: Col Thomson
Released by: LBS Music Group
Album: LBS Country Collection
Way out near Dagworth Station back in 1898
In central western Queensland where Paterson The Great
Wrote a tragic story Waltzing Matilda was the name
Our unofficial anthem of world wide acclaim
How could he then imagine what it would be today
And would he raise a smile at what contemporaries say
His image is recorded from depression of the time
Still arouse our deep emotions embedded in our minds
Where Banjo wrote Matilda and the sheep and cattle graze
Where pastures meet the waterholes the combo will amaze
Part of an inspiration now etched in history
Where Banjo Wrote Matilda there for us to see
The sun scorched soils burning in the channel country there
Cool waters offer refuge to wildlife everywhere
Out on the Diamantina where the Mitchell Grasses sway
The sun stretches the horizon at the close of everyday
Where Banjo Wrote Matilda and the sheep and cattle graze
Where pastures meet the waterholes the combo will amaze
Part of an inspiration now etched in history
Where Banjo Wrote Matilda there for us to see
Where Banjo Wrote Matilda there for you and me
WHERE DOES LOVE BEGIN

Lyrics Written by: Shaza Leigh
Melody Composed by: Shaza Leigh
First Recorded by: Shaza Leigh
Released by: LBS Music Group
Album: Shaza Leigh - Shaza Leigh (1998)
She cannot count the times
She’s cried herself to sleep at night
Wondering where he could be
Pick up the pieces and start again
Was the advice from all her friends
No point living on memories
Why did it take her so long to realise
Why did she want to believe in all his lies
And forever on it goes
Travelling down life’s lonely road
Going through it all again
Where does love begin
And forever on it goes
Living with life’s highs and lows
Worried minds in troubled times
When does the heartache end
And where does love begin
As he sits alone at night
Turning back pages in his life
Wondering where he could have been
There’s no future in hanging on
To remnants of passion gone so wrong
He really should have seen
Why did it take him so long to realise
Why did he make her believe in all his lies
And forever on it goes
Travelling down life’s lonely road
Going through it all again
Where does love begin
And forever on it goes
Living with life’s highs and lows
Worried minds in troubled times
When does the heartache end
And where does love begin

Album: Where Our Heart Lives - Shaza Leigh (2020)
Cover by: Anthony Baxter (2023)
I’ve viewed this land through many eyes and seen it for myself
Walked beaches and our desert sands and gazed out from a shelf
Sailed our sheltered waters and cruised the open sea
Climbed our wild escarpments from Kakadu to the Daintree
And where our heart lives is where our mind roams
When memories wander through our native home
Life’s ever changing just ask one who knows
Cause where our heart lives is where our mind goes
I’ve lived summer in the tropics and winters of the south
From grand coastal ranges to rivers at their mouth
From the inland seas and craters to the reef and great divide
To where ports and bays and beaches caress the ebbing tide
And where our heart lives is where our mind roams
When memories wander through our native home
Life’s ever changing just ask one who knows
Cause where our heart lives is where our mind goes
I love the cane fields of North Qld and life on the black soil plains
Lush grazing fields and valleys to where it seldom rains
Every mountain gorge and parkland every city town and place
Boasts the beauty of Australia for her every walk and race
And where our heart lives is where our mind roams
When memories wander through our native home
Life’s ever changing just ask one who knows
Cause where our heart lives is where our mind goes

Album: Homeland - Shaza Leigh (2016)
In the east the sun is rising smiling on a brand new day
Waves are crashing on the shoreline seabirds skim across the spray
Behind the dunes the camp is stirring tent flaps greet to meet the day
I can smell the bacon cracking hear children running round at play
Oh hear the drumming of the ocean
Children laughing on the sand
When at last the sun goes down
Casuarinas whisper in the wind
Gentle breezes though the trees as barbecues cook up a storm
Snags and onions in a sandwich tomato sauce runs down your arm
Night time finds us round the campfire dinner and the dishes done
Children yawning parents laughing seaside camping summer fun
Oh hear the drumming of the ocean
Children laughing on the sand
When at last the sun goes down
Casuarinas whisper in the wind
Oh hear the drumming of the ocean
Children laughing on the sand
When at last the sun goes down
Casuarinas whisper in the wind
Oh casuarinas whisper in the wind

Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
And though I'm miles away I dream of the day when I come home
Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
Now I'll always return to the place I was born to settle down
The city no longer has that spark as it did before
The nine to five hustle I can't take anymore
I miss your golden beaches in the Queensland sun
Lazing in your waters till the day is done
Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
And though I'm miles away I dream of the day when I come home
Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
Now I'll always return to the place I was born to settle down
I've seen the magic of a sunset over Uluru
From the Kimberley to Arnhem Land and Kakadu
But I still miss your golden beaches in the Queensland sun
Lazing in your waters till the day is done
Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
And though I'm miles away I dream of the day when I come home
Whitsunday paradise you've won my heart tonight
Now I'll always return to the place I was born to settle down

Who'll fill his shoes who'll carry on
Who'll fill his shoes when the time comes
They hang in the wings future heirs to the throne
But we'll not pick and choose
Cause they'll not fill his shoes
He's lived for the music just to play his guitar
From the cities to the outback way beyond the tar
His fingers pick the melody on any song of choice
A legend in his lifetime as clear as any voice
Who'll fill his shoes who'll carry on
Who'll fill his shoes when the time comes
They hang in the wings future heirs to the throne
But we'll not pick and choose
Cause they'll not fill his shoes
Gentle and humble he's played with the greats
Discovered careers giving many their breaks
He's nothing left to prove now a master by his hand
It's a lifetime well spent and we're proud to know the man
Who'll fill his shoes who'll carry on
Who'll fill his shoes when the time comes
They hang in the wings future heirs to the throne
But we'll not pick and choose
Cause they'll not fill his shoes
No well not pick and choose
cause they'll not fill his shoes

Who's gonna wipe away my tears
Sit up late at night and ease my fears
Who's gonna love me as only you know how
Tell me who's gonna love me now
We've been together for sometime
I took for granted you'd always be mine
So now you tell me you've had enough
I think you're simply calling my bluff
Who's gonna wipe away my tears
Sit up late at night and ease my fears
Who's gonna love me as only you know how
Tell me who's gonna love me now
So now I have your full attention
The time is right for me to mention
All of this nonsense disturbing your mind
You want to express yourself well baby that's fine ... But tell me
Who's gonna wipe away my tears
Sit up late at night and ease my fears
Who's gonna love me as only you know how
Tell me who's gonna love me
Who's gonna love me
Who's gonna love me now
Who's gonna love me now

Why I love December, is I love Christmas day
A time we all remember, in our own special way
Yes Why I love December, is the spirit of our Lord
We celebrate our saviour and the sharing of his word
Christmas is for giving, to me it’s family time
Days of love and kindness, when the bells all chime
Happiness consumes thee, and love’s in great demand
Christmas day is truly when laughter sweeps the land
Why I love December, is I love Christmas day
A time we all remember, in our own special way
Yes Why I love December, is the spirit of our Lord
We celebrate our saviour and the sharing of his word
May Christmas lead you home, to feel the warmth it brings
and let your heart atone, when the angels sing
And may your soul shine bright, wherever you may be
rejoicing in his light, to set your spirit free
Why I love December, is I love Christmas day
A time we all remember, in our own special way
Yes Why I love December, is the spirit of our Lord
We celebrate our saviour and the sharing of his word
Yes Why I love December, is I love Christmas day
A time we all remember, in our own special way
I love Christmas day

Album: Winds Of Change - Greg Bain
To earn some money as a kid
I'd trap rabbits on the ridge
Then I'd pedal down the street
to earn that coin to make ends meet
And some days we'd meet our friends
go fishing at the rivers bend
Or swim and play until sundown
then we'd bolt back into town
And I see those winds of change
have now blown in ideals so strange
In this modern world we know
in an age of stop and go
time deprived we've nought to give
And at times when I seem blue
I crave the simple life we knew
I watch our children in despair
The best advice I have to share
To yourself make time to give
In this lifetime you live
In our day our time at school
Was to be taught the golden rules
How to behave and to believe
With little pressure to achieve
As those morals fade away
Our children feel the stress today
No time to waste or so their told
I worry what the future holds
