Lost Cause (this song and me)
©clay howard
i tried to write a song to my mother
a little song that she'd like
the empty sheet it started to smother
and i started to yell at my mike
it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or try as I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that she'll like
I tried to write a song to my father
a little song he might dig
the empty screen it couldn't be any farther
the hole was getting so big
it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or try as I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that he'll like
it might not be a song thats real pretty
but my heart is in this here ditty
so mom and dad if you two are listening
this songs for you - by me it was written
I tried to write a song for my parents
I plugged in and made me some noise
i had no good idea- its apparent
just sang along to enjoy
it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that they'll like
i hope this is a song that they'll like
i hope this is a song that they'll like
i hope this is a song that they'll like

Sit on down raise a glass try
not to think about the past
Since you've gone can't move on
You were taken oh so fast
Even the angels cried out loud
When they saw you coming
I don't know how I’m gonna let you go
I see your face
When I close my eyes
I see your face
Then I start to cry
I miss your face
It's too hard to say goodbye
Don't even know if i can try
We were young barely teens
When you gave your heart to me
I carved it in the old oak tree
cut my hand and skinned my knee
When I fell I fell for you
Now What am I supposed to do
Can't believe I have to let you go
I see your face
When I close my eyes
I see your face
Then I start to cry
I miss your face
It's too hard to say goodbye
Don't even know how I could try
I gave you my heart
I made you my wife
You gave us a daughter now she's all I've got and
I see your face
When I look into her eyes
I see your face
Then I start to cry
We miss your face
It's so hard to say goodbye
It's gonna take a little time
It's so hard to say goodbye
It's gonna take a little time

Good news is the dentist said no cavities
Happy to say my homework is all done
Report cards been good to me
Mostly As and Bs
Mowed the lawn even though it ain't much fun
I'm a good kid
I'm a good kid
I listen, I learn, I'm nice
I'm a good kid
I'm a good kid
Never have to ask me more than twice
Teacher said my artwork, is great
Eat up all the food that's on my plate (even onions)
I like to read don't watch TV
Temper my hostility
Took out the trash, and I never stay out late
Im a good kid (what's that u said)
I'm a good kid (use my head)
I listen, I learn, I'm nice
I'm a good kid (don't talk back)
I'm a good kid (stay on track)
Never have to ask me more than twice
Quiet
I'm a good kid
I'm a good kid
Teachers favorite three years in a row
I'm a good kid
I'm a good kid
When I'm not, make u never know
I'm a good kid (moms approve)
I'm a good kid (never rude)
I listen, I learn, I'm nice
I'm a good kid (don't need spanking)
I'm a good kid (u should be thanking)
Never have to ask me more than twice

Celebrate Life
“Protect your heart,” my mam would say
An artist ahead of her day
“Feel every little joy and pain
Remember THIS is life, you won’t be here again”.
“You are capable of anything”
Those words will always help me sing.
“Keep it simple”
When you lose your way
Man how I miss her every day…
Thunder and lightning brings me home
Nothing shines like the soul
Don’t forget if your parents hadn’t met
You wouldn’t be here at all to celebrate
Celebrate celebrate this life
“Stay out of trouble, use your head”
Just one of the many things my father said.
Friends forever but family first
It was the tough love
That felt the worst
A shoulder to lean on
When I’m feeling low
Open arms
When I’ve got no place left to go…
Thunder and lightning brings me home
Nothing shines like the soul
Don’t forget if your parents hadn’t met
You wouldn’t be here at all to celebrate
Celebrate celebrate this life

Thank you for helping out
I know that you worried that i was gone too long
Years have passed
and I've been gone too long, I'll come back home tomorrow
Although many moons have come
and gone with the passing years when I kept reaching out
looking out
searching for anything, you were always here for me
I'm starting to work it out
I'm starting to figure everything out now
I'm starting to work it out

They dropped their arms and smiled
The day he joined the circus
Turned their heads and walked inside
There may come a day
When it will not be perfect
We can always say he tried
-- When will the letters start to arrive
Home can be the house on the street where you lived
Home can be the place where you have the most love to give
Home can be the secret world you like to call your own
Wherever you are, wherever you run
Don't forget to write home
He watched the days go by
A life in full color
But he was running out of time
And time has a way
Of killing all the wonder
And putting clouds inside our minds
-- Then the letters start to arrive
Home can be the house on the street where you lived
Home can be the place where you have the most love to give
Home can be the secret world you like to call your own
Wherever you are, wherever you run
Don't forget to write home
'Cause someone might be wondering how you are
Home - 'Cause someone's there to help you sooth your scars
Home - Is never very far
They raised their arms and cried
The day he came from the circus
You see he never left their minds
"And we don't need to know
If it was really worth it
At least we know you tried
-- We've got a box of letters we've been keeping inside"
Home can be the house on the street where you lived
Home can be the place where you have the most love to give
Home can be the secret world you like to call your own
Wherever you are, wherever you run
Wherever you've been, whatever you've done
You can always come home

I Miss You
Ever since you went away
My minds an open door
To all the memories
I’m left just wanting more
I always knew my love would never fade
Now that you’ve gone I can only say
I know you’re happy now just where you are
I always wanted just the best for you
I know that I’m not in your plans right now
I’d never do anything to hurt you
I’m not saying that I want you back
I’m just saying that I miss you
Although it’s hard to do
I’ve got to move along
Our years I’ll always have
I’ll find a way to be strong
In time I know we’ll meet again
For now my strength is just to say
I know you’re happy now just where you are
I always wanted just the best for you
I know that I’m not in your plans right now
I’d never do anything to hurt you
I’m not saying that I want you back
I’m just saying that I miss you
Brace for tomorrow
Embrace your yesterday
It’s only what is meant to be
I know you’re happy now just where you are
I always wanted just the best for you
I know that I’m not in your plans right now
I’d never do anything to hurt you
I’m not saying that I never think of you
I’m not saying that I need you in my arms right now
I’m not saying that I want you back
I’m just saying that I miss you
I’m just saying that I miss you
I’m just saying that I miss you

As rivers ever fill the sea
Mere eyes can't see a change
The unseen hand replenishes
And it flows downhill again
The sun will rise
The sun will set
The wind blows side to side
The generations come and go
And yet the earth abides
That which was will be again
What was done will be done
Though memories will always fade
There's no new thing under the sun
The sun will rise...
I sought the answers in my toil
I gathered up the spoils
I chased wisdom madness and folly and found
There's no profit under the sun
The sun will rise...

I was a happy man 'til you came along
You just didn't know what you were missing
Oh, heaven help me if loving you is wrong
You talk so much, boy, when we should kissing
You don't know the mess i'm in
Just shut up and open the door let me in
You're gonna have me break my best girl's heart
You know I'm the girl for the part
If you don't think you've got my heartstrings strummin'
You've got another thing coming
And if you think this love is quite contagious
Our love is built for the ages
I don't know what to do with your tender heart
Just put your arms around me, that's a start
Oh i'm so scared To take this crazy chance
Oh baby what's wrong with one more dance
You don't know the mess i'm in
Just shut up and open the door let me in
You're gonna have me break my best girl's heart
You know I'm the girl for the part
If you don't think you've got my heartstrings strummin'
You've got another thing coming
And if you think this love is quite contagious
Our love is built for the ages
