Dancing With You                              

I’ve been dancing with you every night
You are holding on to me so tight
Your mem’ry will not let me go
So we dance and I still don’t know
That every dance is only in my mind

Dancing with you only in my mind
Helps to keep you with me all the time
I won’t have to let you go
And I will never have to know
That I’m dancing with you only in my mind

So, I let you ask me for a dance
I never know that this is just pretense
I’m hanging to your memory
I just cannot let it be
So I keep on dancing only in my mind

Dancing with you only in my mind
Helps to keep you with me all the time
I won’t have to let you go
And I will never have to know
That I’m dancing with you only in my mind

That I’m dancing with you only in my mind

Bittersweet Surrender by Barbara Clark Laird



Bittersweet Surrender                         
                                                     

Turning back the pages of my memory
I find my broken heart and shattered dreams
Now to turn the pages forward in my mind
And face the world without you with me

Turning back the pages of my memory
I remember the happiness we shared
Now to write new pages in without you
Seems to me more than I can bear

Turning back the pages of my memory
I find the hopes and plans we dreamed upon
Now forever is not time I’ll spend with you
But learning how to live with you gone

Chorus:
Bittersweet Surrender
For you filled my life with pleasure
Letting go is so hard for me
But now I’m making new plans
For life is ever changing’
Letting go is still so hard for me

Letting go is still so hard for me
