Hold A Little Tighter/You Smiled At Me/Teach My Heart To Sing
"…yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
Maybe I’ll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away
Why don’t you hear me when I’m calling out to you
Why don’t you listen when I try to make it through
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter…"

"…I’m blessed I know, heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I’d never feel the same
About anyone or anything again
But now I know when you find love
When you know that it exists
Then the love that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you’ve been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the love that you miss
Will comfort you when there’s no hope in sight…"
~Jesus to a Child, George Michael
"…say goodbye to not knowing when the truth in my whole life began
Say goodbye to not knowing how to cry
You taught me that
And I’ll remember the strength that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember the way that you saved me
I’ll remember
Inside I was a child that could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way to teach my heart to sing
And I’ll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember the way that you changed me
I’ll remember…"
