A. MY HAPPY ENDING IS YOU

When the flowers all lay sleepin’
And the trees have all gone bare
I’ll plant you a garden of stars up where
The harvest I’ll be reapin’
Will be fairy tales come true
And my happy ending is you

In the coldest grayest winter
Through a forest with no light
You shone through the black woods
My perfect knight
And my deepest darkest secrets
Were the dragons that you slew
Now my happy ending is you

You are so alive to me my Fantasy
From a fabric so real I can touch the seam
You’re the texture of the ache as I wake
Must all my happy endings be a dream

In a world that’s lost its magic
In a time that’s cold and still
I’ll keep believing in you until
You ride out from the pages
Where fairy tales come true
And my happy ending is you

Won’t you ride out from the pages
Where fairy tales come true
And my happy ending is you

B. BEAT THE SILENCE BACK

She reaches out to him, he walks away
She reaches for a pint it’ll be OK
She feels a draft, her shoulder’s bare
Lonely where he used to touch her there

Just a quick nip to take away the chill
Then a long sip so her heart will be still
Then turn on the TV and crank up the sound
Maybe out to a movie or a night on the town

Laugh a little louder
Sing a little harder
Maybe you can beat the silence back
Blast your ears with music
Blind your eyes with pictures
Try to beat the silence back
Live so fast that death can’t catch you
Fill up every crevice and crack
Try to beat the silence back

He collects knick-knacks, antique brick-a-bracs
Shelves of books that he’ll never read
They fill up the spaces and still-hurting places
Of a heart too broken to bleed

There’s a storm that rages inside
Frozen passion and thundering pride
And the wall between them ticks off the years
Numbing feelings and stillborn tears

And I look at them and think of us
And I wonder what our children will see
A love that stands the test of time
Or a silent scream in you and me

C. THE LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS

Past my bedtime I’d turn the light on
And read about the one
Who’d kill the witch and kiss the princess
Someday soon he’d come

And he would slay all my dragons
Climb the tower and rescue me
With one embrace he’d break the spell
But then I’d wake up from my dream

I’m looking for a love that never fails
Sifting through first kisses, lifting up old veils
One that sees through each broken part
To the hope still hiding in every heart
I’m looking for a love that never fails

A moonlit night, some candlelight
And roses led me on
I danced on ceilings, trusted feelings
One day they were gone

And there we stood almost strangers
Not looking out, not looking in
Too many words between us now
Wondering how to end or where to begin

Then I heard a voice whisper
Won’t you see him as I do
Love him like I love you
For My Love can move mountains
Raise the dead to life
Stir ashes to flame
Between husband and wife
And My Love is in you

There’s only one true love that never fails
Can’t be found in kisses or modern fairy tales
I hear it when my Savior calls
To forgive each one who stumbles and falls
I’ve found in Him a Love that never fails
You’ll see He is the Love that never fails
