Week 11: How to fall asleep | Tamar Lewis

 
 
Some say that all you have to do is to drink hot milk
A touch of sweetness, honey anise seed blend
 
Or to sit down next to a fence the flock to keep
Maybe you'll fall asleep by counting jumping sheep
 
Perhaps the sound of violins will ease your mind
Take a sip of camomile and tea combined
 
Pick some lavender on your way to the park
Then keep the purple flower underneath the bed
 
If the full moon is keeping you awake
Change the curtains choose the black instead of white
 
Stop watching the world spinning around on TV
Try reading a novel from the precious century
 
And if you tried it all
But still you are wide awake
Just like when we were small
Call me

Week 10: Colourful Dress  | Brenda Rose





Do you remember
The times that we dreamed together
About London and America
And every far place we could think of


We wanted to leave 
And now I see we wanted to flee
Escape to every place that wasn't real
Escape to every place that wasn't here


Black was the colour we'd sent
A little red to show the restless mind


And every colourless shirt we wore
A reflection


Since that period of time
Our lives became a little calmer
And then you turned into a butterfly
And sing songs about floating through the sky


You've showed us the colour of your heart
And I thank you for that 


And every colourful dress you wear
A reflection


On this special day
I wish you yellow no more grey
I wish you soft pink and some apple green
A little vintage orange and baby blue


And for that restless mind
A little light through some plain white


And every colourful dress to be
A reflection

Week 9: In Their Eyes | Tamar Lewis


You said summer felt like time stood still
And asked if I would help you to keep memories real
For a moment I thought it over
But I as well tend to forget

Seeing those pictures again that you sent
Those trees and where they stood I don't remember
The days and how they felt are like a dream
They fade when the fall sets in

When the fall sets in
When the fall sets in
When the fall sets in

Last year in the winter I came to know
The miracle of ongoing life
Held my son so close to my chest
My hands so tight round his back

As we sat there all alne in his room
At night when no one else was awake
Memories of childhood just came to me
As I looked at him

As I looked at him
As I looked at him
As I looked at him

Recalling
Days you and I spent in our rooms
Recordig our songs on cassette
Eating colourful chocolate
Carelessly making our memories

Making our memories
Making our memories
Making our memories

So when those precious memories start to fade
And I cannot help you to keep them real
In the eyes of our children we'll find them
As they grow

Week 8: Growth | Brenda Rose






When I wake up it 'll be gone
Gone the quiet dreams we wrote
As we dream our lives to the unknown
We grow

Summer felt like time stood still
We forgot it never will
As we swim our lives to solid shores
We grow

I set a mark where you
Wrote a part about growth
As I turn pages I read through all ages
And we grew
We still grow

Someday memories will fade
Will you help me to keep them real
As we walk our miles we're walking home
And we grow

Week 7: First of August | Tamar Lewis


Again the morning came on time
Again you opened up your eyes
Again this day a holiday
Another year's begun

366 pictures made of you
Anxious, sad or still in love
Each single one is you

It's the first of August
Another year's begun
I wish you many songs to write
And lot's of love to give
I pray that you'll be full of life
And see many more years

Think of how and where you've been
And who you have become
Really worth to celebrate
Another year's begun
It's the first of August
Another years begun

Maybe when we're old and grey
We'll be knitting all day long
Sweaters for our great-grandchildren
Though we can't remember their names
I will help you cook a stew
And you will help me do my hair
Have a cake and drink some tea
'Cause another year's begun
It's the first of August
Another year's begun
Happy first of August
Another year's begun
