A Dream to Wake to

    One thing about me, I'm an amateur singer/songwriter. Very amateur, I've never played in public. I'm a self-taught guitar player and its one of the many hobbies I love and want to get better at. My influences include but are hardly limited Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, and Joshua Radin. If you ask my mother, she's always hearing Jimmy Buffet in my songs.

    These are lyrics I wrote today but have not put to music yet. I sometimes dream of selling my songs to people who could perform them far better than I ever will.

A Dream to Wake to

Girl, you know I love you

I'd face an army for you

I'd be Orpheus to your Eurydice

I'll never look back

but I admit

I'm scared as hell

after all this time it'd be a dream come true

to finally have and hold you

And I don’t want to wake up

until I can’t tell where the dream ends

and the waking world begins

I don’t want to wake up

until every day I open my eyes

to waking up beside you.

It’s been a long time coming

though it hasn’t yet, in truth

I want you to know

I’m here, I’m ready, my arms are open

Love, I want to be with you

And I don’t want to wake up

until I can’t tell where the dream ends

and the waking world begins

I don’t want to wake up

until every day I open my eyes

to waking up beside you

Girl, you know I love you

I’d face forever with you

I’d be your Disney Hercules

I’ll never look back

but I admit

I’m scared as hell

after all this time it’d be a dream come true

to finally have and hold you
