We walked away from everything and all that we held dear
Snubbed the kind of life we had known
Believing in a future far beyond control
Nurturing the seed that had been sewn

And at times when life seemed futile and made no sense at all
The times when we just couldn’t see ahead
And it just seemed far too easy to throw it all away
The strength of love would pull us up instead

You & I we’ve grown together
Through the highs and through the lows
All the good times and the memories we now share
And I’d gladly trade each cent we’ve earned
As I pray to God at night
That each morning when I wake you’ll still be there

Now it seems a lifetime later, as I sit here in the dark
A lifetime since we vowed to live as one
And we’ve proven that the hunger of love as strong as ours
Is a powerful force that none shall overcome

You & I we’ve grown together
Through the highs and through the lows
All the good times and the memories we now share
And I’d gladly trade each cent we’ve earned
As I pray to God at night
That each morning when I wake you’ll still be there

YOU CAN'T WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND A MEMORY

You're so far away you'll never know how much I care

Can't afford to let me for I might see

Hold me at a distance boy don't let me in

Then you can keep living on your memories

You've been hurt before I know and this I understand

Up and down how many times has it been

Hurts me to know I can't erase the hurt that's there

Keep me on the outside looking in

You'll never know you'll never know

How much I care

You'll never see what you mean to me

You're never there

You never wanted all the love I had to give

Still scared from a love that didn't last

Maybe you'll never feel the warmth of love again

We're both victims of your past

You'll never know you'll never know

How much I care

You'll never see what you mean to me

You're never there

You're so far away you'll never know how much I care

Can't afford to let me for I might see

Hold me at a distance boy don't let me in

Then you can keep living on your memories

You'll never know you'll never know

How much I care

YOU MUST NOT QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will

When the road you’re trudging, seems all uphill

When the funds are low, and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh

When care is pressing, you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit
Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As every one of us learns

And many a failure, turns about

When one might have won, had they stuck it out

Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow

You may succeed, with another blow

       
Success is failure, turned inside out
The silver tint, of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell, just how close you are
It may be near, when it seems far

So stick to the fight, when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst, that you must not quit
Hold onto your dreams and never let go

If you walk away, then you’ll never know

Yes when things go wrong, as they sometimes will
And the road you’re trudging, seems all up hill
Rest if you must, as you take a hit - but remember
that you must not quit

Yes rest if you must, as you take a hit
but remember, you must not quit
Remember …. You must not quit

She lived on an isolated track

her inspiration died a short time back

Alone but not afraid the woman cried 

as she held her newborn baby to her side

She gave birth the last week of December

The Monsoons really raging in that year

In innocence the child would not remember

The words his mother whispered in his ear

As the saying goes you are your fathers son

You’ll follow in the footsteps of the man you’ll become

To look back through the years and know you’ve won

There’s no doubt my lad you are your fathers son

The young lad grew and learned the way of stock

Bred cattle on a distant northern block

And in time he owned the very best of land

A humble and extremely wealthy man

And suddenly the loss of someone close

That ageing woman that he loved the most

As he bowed his head and wiped away the tears

He heard these words ringing in his ears

As the saying goes you are your fathers son

You’ll follow in the footsteps of the man you’ll become

To look back through the years and know you’ve won

There’s no doubt my lad you are your fathers son
