Banana Pie
Oh, I know your kind
Upside-down and crazy mind
You're always slipping on
And spilling all kinds of lines
Just to get a taste of life
And oh, I know your style
Can't control it mile for mile
You're gonna run around
And 'round and play a little while
Just to get a taste of life
(Chorus)
And would you believe a silly lie
Make believe banana pie
Giving up, you look to the sky
To save another day
Oh, take another bite
But don't forget to hold on tight
You're always flying 'round
And 'round your crazy kite
Just to get a taste of life
(Chorus 2X)

Not Waiting
In this crowded room I see you move
Unaware of all I hold to you
Silly as it seems I can't let go
Of the memories I've yet to know
My heart can't wait
I need to know
Just say the words and I will go
You could never know what brings me here
Biting at my lips, trembling in fear
I shouldn't be so weak, I know
But I'm so afraid to let you go
My heart can't wait
I need to know
Just say the words and I will go
Please tell me now
If I'm too late
I'll turn my head and walk away
(Chorus)
But I'm not waiting here
For someone to bring me down
But I can't turn my head
And give up on all that I've found
I've been waiting for so long
To see you come around
Somebody save me now
Can I have a moment of your smile
Can I have my heart back for a while
I wish that I could hide behind the words I say
But I can't pretend that I don't miss you every day
(Chorus 2X)

Goodbye
I can't find
All of the words to say
I'm sorry
In my mind
A thousand times over
I've cried and searched for you
To forgive my breaking heart
And forgive me for my tears
Forgive me if I'm falling apart
I won't lie
I would do anything
To have you now
But I've tried
And I'm only
Falling faster down
So please forgive my breaking heart
And forgive me for my tears
Forgive me if I'm falling apart
Can you forgive my breaking heart
And forgive my teary eyes
Forgive me as I say goodbye
Say goodbye
'Cause I just can't do this anymore
Oh, I've tried
But you just keep slipping
Further out the door
So please forgive my breaking heart
And forgive me for my tears
Forgive me if I'm falling apart
Can you forgive my breaking heart
And forgive my teary eyes
Forgive me as I say goodbye

Outta Here
Hey there
I don't wanna be the cause
Of anybody else's pain
Stay there
I don't wanna be a part
Of this game
In the end
What I do should be my own mistake
Don't let it be too late
It's not fair
To try and separate my heart
From my mind
I don't care
If I have to walk away
A hundred times
In the end
I'll be cryin' for ya night and day
So let me walk away
(Chorus)
'Cause you're in my mind
You're in my head
And I am outta here
You heard exactly what I said
I gotta get outta here
It's not that I don't wanna see you
It's not like that at all
But I really could be fallin'…..yeah
You could say
I have a little problem keeping
Both feet on the ground
I can't stay
'Cause thoughts of you have got my
Senses spinnin' 'round…..
Oh yeah, I got a dizzy spell beyond control
So please just let me go
(Chorus 2X)

Be Here Now
All the time that I have spent with you sleeping in my heart
Moments that I never thought I'd see again could pull me apart
I am so scared, but I can't turn away from you
You are still here, just the way I dreamed of you
(Chorus)
So be here now, I don't wanna wait
Be here now, I don't wanna lose this
Be here now, I don't wanna wait
I just wanna be with you
A million thoughts, circling me now, wrapping me in pain and tears
But seeing you, and trusting you, and wanting you is stronger than my fears
I am so scared, but I won't run away from you
You are still here, just the way I dreamed of you
(Chorus)
It's so good to see you here again, so good to be here now
It's worth every second, and every tear to be here with you now
I am so scared, but you won't turn away from me
You are still here, just like I knew you'd always be
(Chorus)

So Nice
Wouldn't it be nice if we could stop time for a while
And stay here lying underneath the sun
Forget about our worries, looking at the pretty sky
And stay here till the day is done
(Chorus)
And it's so nice
Being here, by your side
Can I
Keep you for a little longer
Oh my
I don't wanna say goodbye
You're here now and you're all mine
Isn't it amazing just how sweet it really is
To stay here looking out across the sea
I could spend forever with you holding me like this
There's no place I would rather be
(Chorus)

Don't Run Away
Baby, do you think that you could take me back to heaven
I promise I'll be good to you and
Maybe in a little while we'll take the time to
Open up the doors we left behind
I know this is all a little new for you and
I know that you've been running scared
But tell me, do you really think that
Hiding in a corner's gonna get you anywhere
(Chorus)
So don't run away, I know it's not that easy
Tell me you'll stay and just let go completely
I'm telling you now, you'll be alright
You'll be okay
So don't run away
Here now we're looking for the things we need
To get out of a sticky situation, baby
Look out, the sky is falling faster and
We haven't planned another place to hide
Outside the rain falls, let's dive into the puddles, baby
Splashing 'round as if we've lost our minds
Don't worry, we'll make the best of what we have
We just might even have a good time
(Chorus 2X)

Prove Me Wrong
Never thought that I could feel so much
Never thought that I could care so much
Never thought that I could love so much
But you've proven me wrong
I'm amazed at knowing who you are
And how you've given me so much
I tried to stay away from love
Now I can't hold you close enough
You've proven me wrong
So I'm here, waiting, wanting you
I'm here, waiting, wanting you
I'm here, waiting, wanting your love
There was a time when you held me close
There was a time when we were strong
I believed that we would never end
But you've proven me wrong
So I'm here, waiting, missing you
I'm here, waiting, needing you
I'm here, waiting, wanting your love
My heart is breaking and I've given up
I know that soon you will be gone
But if there's any chance to love again
Please prove me wrong
And I'll be here, waiting, wanting you
I'll be here, waiting, wanting you
I'm here waiting, wanting your love

Is It Really Over
I could run away from him again
Pack my bags and slam the door again
But it wouldn't do me any good
I would never leave even if I should
I'll be coming home to him tomorrow morning
Running to his arms again
(Chorus)
So is it really over, baby
Don't you know you can't say no to me
I can see right through you baby
You're not fooling anybody
We've been shouting back and forth a while
You're picking on me and I'm stepping on your style
You think it wouldn't hurt to go away
But really you would miss me every day
You'll be coming home to me tomorrow morning
Running to my arms again
(Chorus)
Now tell me dear that I don't drive you mad
Being with me can't be all that bad
If you know what's good for you you'll be
Happy ever after here with me
You'll be staying right here right beside me baby
Happy in my arms again
(Chorus)

Dreams
Moonbeams release me
Falling completely
Now that I am finally here, it's easy
It's more than absolutely clear, and so easy
The night keeps me waiting
But my thoughts turn to you
(Chorus)
Lullaby to your arms
Close my eyes to the stars
In my dreams and in my heart
Ever so sweetly…..you
Time escapes in little pieces
Slowly gently it ceases
And I am standing here, alone now
I want to go back, but I don't know how
The night keeps me waiting
But my thoughts turn to you
(Chorus 2X)

Welcoming the Night
Everything is slowing down now
Everything's a little softer
A tiny light now
Water calming underneath the moonlight
Welcoming the stars and the night
(Chorus)
And oh, come and lay your head down
Oh, empty out the light
Oh, gently kiss the day goodbye
Welcoming the night
In a little while you'll be sleeping gently
Wash away the burdens of the day
Let yourself envelope in the softness
Let it wrap you in a blanket of the night
(Chorus)
Let me be the one to guide your way
Shower you with stardust
Let it float away
I'll bring you memories of your day
Just close your eyes
And promise me you'll stay
(Chorus 2X)

Looking Up
I'm not gonna cry, no
Believe me I've cried too much
I'm just gonna let this roll by
I'm okay now
Believe me I've had enough
I'm just gonna sit back and let this fly
(Chorus)
Looking up I've had my daydreams
Looking up I've had my fears
Looking up I've seen the sun believe me
Come with me now
Believe me it's not too much
I'm just gonna show you how to fly
It's amazing how a smile can lift you up
Dancing in the sky is my new style
(Chorus)
It takes a little while, yeah
To see the light again
But I can assure you, it comes around
Flying high, yeah
Believing in love again
Nothing's gonna pull me back down
(Chorus 2X)

Heaven Holds You
Words and music by Sarah Holgate and Jennifer Holgate
Heaven holds you, safe and warm
Love is all around you
Angels greet you at the door
Peace, at last, has found you
In heaven...heaven...
(Chorus)
Wanting just to see your face
And hear your laughter, too
But until that day, we'll wait patiently
'Til God brings us home to you
Take our love and hold it tight
And we will remember
The joy you brought into our lives
You're in our hearts forever
In heaven...heaven
(Chorus)
...in loving memory of our brother, David Holgate
