Shelter

© 2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

Love

You are the shelter in the rain
Invite me home in all my pain
You’ve come to right my wrongs

Again. A second chance
To feel alive
In spite of all I’ve said and done
In your name
I’m filled with shame for how I’ve treated one

The fights, the late night scenes I write
And act so badly then make light
Yet love forgives me all the same

Love (Love find me)
You are the shelter in the rain (Cover me)
Come in to right my wrongs again (Cover me)
Come in to free my heart from doubt

“Come out of the dark
Come out of the storm”
A voice so gentle whispers warm
Whispers your name
Love, Love Love…..

Blue was all I knew
Then I found you

“Come out of the dark (Blue was all I knew)
Come out of the storm”
And out of lonliness love’s born (Then I found you)
To light my darkness evermore

My solemn vow (hmmm)
Love’s will allow…

Love, you are the shelter in the rain (Love find me)
Come in to right my wrongs again (Cover me)
Come into free my heart from doubt (Cover me)

Before I’m Gone

©2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

Sleep in restless confusion
Counting dreams I forgot to chase
Sheep are tired, they’ve gone home
Search the stars for the answer
Wondrin’ will I be happy
Before I’m gone
Wondrin’ will I be happy
Before I’m gone

Run when I should just stand still
Freeze when I need to speak
My life just passes by
While I just wonder why

Love walk with me please
I fall down on my knees
And

Search my soul for the answer
Wondrin’ will I be happy
Before I’m gone
Wondrin’ will I be happy
Before I’m gone

’Cause Love’s the only for sure thing
Sure to make or break your heart
For love you can not fake
I’m broken but must start

Love walk with me please
I fall down on my knees
And

Pray that I find the answer
Singin’ I will be happy
Before I’m gone
Yes, I will be happy
When my life’s done

I Remember You

Words ©2003 By Joseph C. Wilson
Music ©2003 Art Khu


Can you hear me?
Can you see me?

For every drop of rain that falls
I cry a tear for you
And when a sunrise smiles on me
My dark sky turns to blue
It’s been 3 years, six months and a day
Since they took your life away
Someone may have forgotten
But I remember you

For all the times you stuck by me
I say this prayer for you
And when my road it seemed to tough
I know you pulled me through
It’s been 3 years, six months and two days
Since your smile was taken away
Someone may have forgotten
But I remember you

(I--- remember you)
I remember you
(I ---remember you, remember you)
Remember you

For all the things you cannot hear
I sing this loud for you
And all the dreams I couldn’t reach
You made this one come true
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Did you know my love was true?
Someone may have forgotten
But I-----I remember you

(I--- remember you)
Can you hear me?
(I ---remember you, remember you)
Can you see me?
(I--- remember you, remember you)
Did you know my love was true?
Someone may have forgotten 3X
But I remember you.

Free My Love

© 2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

My world was free from love and worry
Time was my own
My heart had not flown to you

You spoke my name and there in your eyes
A sea of great peace
Inviting me into sleep

Never wanted to be the one
Never wanted to see the sun
Only want to live my life in peace
To my closed heart you open the door
Now I’m yours forever more
Free my love

Yes, sure that my life had changed forever
Gave you may all
Knew that you’d fall with me

Never wanted to be the one
Never wanted to see the sun
Only want to live my life in peace
To my closed heart you open the door
Now I’m yours forever more
Free my love
If there’s a God above
Free me

Then when I asked what now dear tell me
A moment in time
Was all that you said to me

Never wanted to be the one
Never wanted to see the sun
Only want to live my life in peace
One look at you and I’m not the same
I’m the only one to blame
Free my love
If there’s a God above
Why don’t you just free me
Free me

All For You

©2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

In quiet splendor lay
There’s nowhere else today
Time rests in the sun
Just us, we’ll see no one

This day is oh so slow
The grass waits to grow
Willows don’t weep
And daffodils sleep
Breathless is the wind
Just perfect to sigh in

The stillness of the trees
Sweet nothings whisper their leaves
I smile for they know
Our wordless ways

Listen
The breeze knows the day
Tells it’s story soft
All for you

In green grass
We lay happy
Summer’s sun

So warm
Ly caresses me
My hearts full
And it’s all for you

Let’s make love
Worthy of the day
Count the ways
Time will stand still
All for you

Climb Higher

© 2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

In your eyes I see
The hope of what the world can be
I would give my life
Too see you grow into great things
And I know you will

Keep your dreams awake
You need no shelter from the fire
But if you need for me
To be the strongest tree
To climb higher

Wise men will say
Children will take your breath away
I would give my last
To keep you safe from history’s past
But I know I can’t

Keep your dreams awake
You need no shelter from the fire
But if you need for me
To be the strongest tree
For you to climb higher

Sleep my sweetness sleep
In precious innocence
I’ll brush your hair back from your face
Make sure all is in its place
For slumber filled with dreams

I would give my life
To see you grow into great things
And I know you will

Keep your dreams awake
You need no shelter from the fire
Sweet soft and innocent
My life has been well spent
And I will climb higher
And we will climb higher

Winter

©2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

Winter’s coldest just before the spring
So come home love, I’ll be sure to bring
“I’m sorry’s” and “Been so foolish”
Of my sadness I’ll sing

Night is darkest just before the dawn
So come home love for I’ve been so wrong
This Christmas, they’ll be just us
For I’ve been so alone

How I’ve longed for your heart so wide
My tears fall inside
And melt so warmly
This white season for love’s pure reason
My faults
You forgive

For the new year, I can promise you dear
Love
You’ll not be without

Take This Chance

© 2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

I know I can’t expect us to see eye to eye
I also know if we don’t try to talk it through
It might work out, or might mean that we’re through
And I’m not willing to take the chance of losing you
I am not willing to take that chance

Games we cannot play
Lies we cannot keep
Take this chance with me

I know it’s hard for you to say what’s on your mind
But please don’t hide behind the fear inside your heart
Are you scared of love? Scared of how it feels?
Why are you willing to take the chance of losing love?
Why are you willing to take that chance?

I know it’s hard for you to know what’s in your heart
But when I feel your love, I know we shouldn’t part
But your not willing to take the chance of feeling love
Why aren’t you willing to take the chance that love deserves?
Why aren’t you willing to take this chance with me?

Cheese Puff Daddy

©2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

Last year around this time
I rose one morn to find my man was gone
Keys gone, car gone clothes gone
Even the little white lies he told me…gone

Now, I’m in this bar and in he walks
Wearing that “I’m all that hat” and those
“I got nothing to lose shoes”

He says “Hey baby I know you
You looking real good to
What do you say we call it a day
Take you to a movie or a roll in the

Hay baby I know you
You looking real good too
I’d sure like to take you out tonight
Julie, Joanne or Jeanie….right?

And I look at him thinking this
Smoking, drinking always winking man of no tomorrow
Thinks I was born yesterday and say

“Hey, baby I know you
You’re the one who broke my heart in two
You must think I’m some kind of fool
You’re a cheese puff daddy and I don’t eat junk food

If You Know Love

© 2002 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

Timeless truth awaits
Just trust and you will know
True love is real
And I will show you

Sleep like angels we
If only you believe
Take this chance
And I will never leave you

If you could see you through
These eyes of mine you’d know
How much I truly love you so
And I’ll never let you go

If you hold my hand
Your heart will be awake
To the thousand songs
That we will make
From life’s unending sweetness
We’ll partake

If you could see you through
These eyes of mine you’d know
How much I truly love you so
And I’ll never let you go

Keep your secrets safe
Till they’re not needed anymore
I’ll meet you on a quiet shore
And love you there forever more
You’ll never be alone if you know love

Tired

© 2002 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

I’m so tired
Of looking for a better way
With more pay and by the way
I’m getting mighty tired of you

Yes you
In my arms flowering so new, self
Whoe’s eyes smell of the sound of rain
Who up and left me cold

Tired
Of your run around town
Push your weight around
‘Cause I’m not here to wait on you

I’ve been told
Time heals all wounds
Well time is late
Tick tock let’s celebrate
So here’s to you
Who thinks but
Dare not feel
So long my dear
Your love was never here

So say goodbye
And be sure to take out the trash
I saw you with last week

I’ve got things to do
People to see places to go
But fortunately not with you

I’ve been told
Time heals all wounds
Well time is late
Tick tock lets celebrate
So here’s to you
Who thinks but
Dare not feel
So long my dear
Your love was never here

Never here..call me next year….

Fall

© 2003 Jacqui Naylor & Art Khu

I’m older now
But scared I’ll fail
Must tell you all my truths
Scared I’ll lose you
And after all
All these years

Let my words do
What no silence will
Won’t you hear my withered heart
You say you will
And so I speak
Trembling still

Like a leaf clinging to a branch
Bends to winters call, I fall
Awaiting storms and seas of despair
But I find peace
And fall deeper in love with you

Fall deeper with you
Than without you
I know truth is the rock
I must cling to
And most of all
I thank you

Like a leaf clinging to a branch
Bends to winters call, I fall
Awaiting storms and seas of despair
But I find peace
And fall deeper in love with you
