Open up your arms and heart Dear Lord, another's come your way.
I helped my old girl "Tikki" cross over the bridge today.
As I prepare for sleep tonight, I'll cross that awful void,
No more "Time for night night Tik", or the gate across the bedroom door.
I'll try to sleep all night, no need to rise two times,
Cause your not here to tell me, "Mom I need to go outside"
I take the calls and thank everyone; their concern does mean so much,
"Oh yes, I'll be just fine", I tell them as I wonder through the hurt.
I guess I'm glad the choice was made for you to leave us first
Cause never in a million years would I want you to feel this hurt.
What are the words Garth sings about "The Dance" that we have had?
"And now, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance"

How Do You Say Good bye
How do you say good bye
to a friend that has been around forever?
How do you hold back the memories
and try to act clever?
How do you put on a smile
and laugh like everything is okay?
How do you look forward to tomorrow
and live through the day?
How do you say good bye
when you do not want to?
How do you face the fact
that there is no longer "you two"?
How do you mend the broken heart
that has eaten you up?
How do you keep all the secrets
and the fun you've shared?
How do you keep all the Love?

One Heart
Among your small possessions, in a place all by itself
Is a gift I one time gave you, one heart upon your shelf
This gift takes little space up and it's never in the way
I'ld guess you never notice it as you go about your day
You never have to move it, it goes every where you are
Just hovers in the background but always not too far
But if you need some comfort when things are not quite right
Take out the heart I gave you, It'll get you through the night
No matter where life's road leads, if fortune's promise proves untrue
One thing you'll take beyond this life is
The heart I gave to you.

I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall,
to brighten your heart when the grey shadows fall.
On a canvas of joy outlasting the years,
with a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears.
I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over the miles.
On a palette of words I will tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind.
I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide,
Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside,
And deep in the center of each different hue,
A memory fashioned especially for you.
So lift up your eyes, for suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the fingers oflove ...
