Sara Beth Song Lyrics

Tired of Singing Sad Songs

 by Sara Beth Geoghegan and Emily DeLoach

The pavement is soaking wet, the snow hasn’t fallen yet

I whisper your name and I can see my breath

And I’m tired of singing sad songs

The world’s fallen fast asleep and I’m walking down the street

I whisper your name without the heaviness

And I’m tired of singing sad        songs

 

When the flowers bloom darling we will too After a hard cold winter

And the birds fly home with a lighter load They’re singing a hymn of summer

Ooh, ooh

 

The willow has lost her leaves naked she does not weep

She whispers “it’s finally time to breathe”

And she’s tired of singing sad songs

All I have are memories and really that’s fine with me

I whisper your name, smile and believe

That it’s time to sing a new song

 When the flowers bloom darling we will too After a hard cold winter

And the birds fly home with a lighter load They’re singing a hymn of summer

Ooh, ooh

  

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh oooh ooh, etc. 

I’m tired of singing sad soooooongs

 

Lord Deliver Me: based loosely on a prayer by mother teresa and maybe st. francis?

 

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 

 

Lord deliver me from the desire to be noticed, loved, exalted

Lord deliver me from the desire to be favored, popular chosen or acknowledged

Lord deliver me from the fear of being wrong, forgotten or ignored

Lord deliver me from the fear of being humiliated or left behind

 

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 

 

Grant that I may seek to comfort rather than be comforted by others

Grant that I may understand and love more than be understood and loved well

Lord deliver me from the desire to be noticed and encouraged

Lord deliver me from the desire to be appreciated and included

  Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You

 Lord deliver me from me Lord deliver me to You
