Song-"Tell Me I Was Dreaming" by Travis Tritt
Contributed by Jaina

When I woke up this morning
And wiped the sleep from my eyes
I found a new day dawning
And suddenly, I realized
You're gone

Tell me I was dreaming
That you didn't leave me here alone
You didn't say you don't love me anymore,
It was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn't say goodbye.

I'm in a state of confusion
I hope things aren't what they seem
If this is really happening,
Just let me go back to dream you're home...

Tell me I was dreaming
That you didn't leave me here alone
You didn't say you don't love me anymore,
It was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn't say goodbye.

Tell me I was dreaming
That you didn't leave me here alone
You didn't say you don't love me anymore,
It was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn't say goodbye.

Oh, tell me you didn't say goodbye...

*note-gender words have been changed,
i.e. "man" becomes "woman", etc.  You
get the drift.*

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like Hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing?

My love
You know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
And my love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is storng and true
Am I in Heaven here
Or am I...
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray 
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And we'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light
That brings a smile across your face.

Oh God
If You're out there won't you hear me
I know we've never talked before
Oh God
The woman I love is leaving
Won't you take her when she comes to your door
Am I in Heaven here
Or am I...
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray 
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And we'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light
That brings a smile across your face

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like Hell.

Song-"Dante's Prayer" by Loreena McKennitt
Contributed by Christine



When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone.

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me.

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me.

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars.

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me.

Song-"My All" by Mariah Carey
Contributed by Karen

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart won't let me right
Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to have
Your body next to mine
Cause I can't let go on
Living in the memory of your song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
your body next to mine
Cause I can't let go on
Liing in the memory of your song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can't let go on
living in the memory of your song

I'd give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight

Song-"Miles To Go (Before I Sleep)" by Celine Dion
Contributed by Karen

I would walk to the edge of the universe for you
Paint you a crimson sunset over sheltering skies
I could learn all the world dialects for you
Whisper sonnets in your ear discovering truth
I could never worship pagan gods around me
I will only follow the path that leads me to you baby... always

Every step I take for you
I will always defend, never pretend
That every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong, the journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep...

I would carry the rock of Gibraltar just for you
Lifted like a pebble from the beach to the skies
I could build you a bridge that spans the ocean wide
But the greatest gift I give you would be to stand by your side
Some can criticize and sit in judgment of us
But they can't take away the love that lives inside us always

Every step I take for you
I will always defend, never pretend
That every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong, the journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep...

I won't run from the changing signs along the highway
Let the rivers flow to the highest ground created
