Mornings

Music and Lyrics by Debra Tanis

I have mornings,

more than mornings

I have dawnings now

Without you.

And if you can’t recall

How it was at all

Then why should I feel blue?

I get longings

But they’re warnings

that I’m better off

without you

And if you didn’t know

How I loved you so

Then why should I feel blue?

For all the times I came,

I knew I couldn’t stay

Yet all the nights we knew

How could you go away?

There’s tomorrow

I can’t borrow

From the time

You never gave me.

And though I chose to stay

You’ll never know today

The way that I felt blue.

Can You Tell Me?

Music and Lyrics by Debra Tanis Milligan

Can you tell me

You love me?

Can you whisper my name?

Can you hear my heart beating?

Every beat is the same.

Can you hold me so closely

I’ll never let go?

Can you tell me

You love me?

That’s all I need to know.

Will you tell me

You love me?

Will you whisper my name?

I can hear your heart beating

Every beat is the same.

Will you hold us so closely

You’ll never let go?

Will you tell me

You love me?

That’s all I need to know

Will you hold us so closely

You’ll never let go?

Will you tell me

You love me?

That’s all I need to know . . .
