That's So Beautiful

A song I wrote a couple of years ago...I'm on vocals...and my friend Ed is on guitar. The cute puppies are Betsy and Gracie.

What Of Your Soul?

you can love for the crowd
be what they expected
every day you conceal
the part of you they rejected
you can say that it's real
who could say you're mistaken?
another time on the wheel
it's your heart that you're breaking

and what of your soul?
what do you need?
that could make you come home
and what of your dream?
is it really just a make believe thing?

you can smile for the shot
be a friend to the camera
while the pain you portray
is not really acting
you can hide from the world
and they'll never come after
live your life as a dream
that is running right past you

and what of your soul?
what do you need?
that could make you come home
and what of your dream?
is it really just a make believe thing?

WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT TEARS

my whole world’s turnin’ against me
the way that I once knew is gone
the people I started this trip with
have fallin’ along the way

my green eyes are dappled by sadness
filled with my bitter tears
the chances i took so long ago
are all catching up with me

(chorus)
What is life without tears?
Would it be good at all?
What is time without regret?
Well I haven’t known it yet

and what of the ones who were with me?
did they at least find some rest?
i curse all the miles between us
then the tears start to fall again

(chorus)
What is life without tears?
Would it be good at all?
What is time without regret?
Well I haven’t known it yet
