This Is True
My inspiration for writing This is True actually came about from friendships over the years… There is obviously a lot more going on in these friendships than one reads in the lyrics, but they present the general gist of the strong bond between these friendships.

Lyrics
The first time I went to my friend all worried out that day
I told him ‘bout my troubles that just wouldn’t go away
I said to him, I’m troubled mate, all worried in the head
But lots of people feel that way so this is what he said:
This is true…
Don’t worry about it…
These things seem to happen all the time
This is true…
Don’t worry about it…
Do something else instead and get it all out of your mind
Well I could see the sense in that so that’s just what I’ll do
I knew I could count on my friend, all that he said is true
I went home and did something else
Just anything I could find
And soon I drove those worrying thoughts right out of my mind
This is True…
After that it seemed a while before I worried again
When I did I simply went and told all to my friend
I said to him, I’m troubled mate, all worried in the head
But lots of people feel that way so this is what he said
This is True…
Well I could see the sense in that so that’s just what I’ll do
I knew I could count on my friend all that he said is true
I went home and did something else
Just anything I could find
And soon I drove those worrying thoughts right out of my mind
This is True…
Many years have come and gone and some things never change
A different place, another friend, but things are rearranged
She says to me I’m worried Kev, all worried in the head
But words of wisdom never die so here’s what I said:
This is true…
She looks at me and then she said, Hey, that makes sense to me
I always knew that you would be a real good friend for me
She went home and did something else
Anything she could find
And soon she drove those worrying thoughts right out of her mind
This is true…
So now my friends I hope you’ve realized what I’m trying to say
Don’t just go on worrying, there is another way
I share these words of wisdom that I first learned from my friend
Lots of people feel that way
Get over it!
The end.
All I Can Say
While All I Can Say will be viewed primarily as a love song, and there have been people in my life it could just as easily have been written for, I actually wrote it to thank God for all the times in life he helped me through both good and bad.

Lyrics
I love you
Is all I can say
For all you’ve given me
I love you
With all my heart
My mind
My body
And my soul
To you
I give my everything
Yet it’s as nothing
To what you’ve given me
I love you
Is all I can say
For all you’ve given me
I love you
Is all I can say
For all you’ve done for me
I love you
With all my heart
My mind
My body
And my soul
In the valley
When it’s raining
You write a new song
Upon my heart
You show me the way
Love is meant to be
When you tell me
We shall never part
I love you
Is all I can say
For all you’ve done gor me
I love you
Is all I can say
For all you mean to me
Thank you, Mae! It means a lot. 🙂
