If you ask my friends, well they concur,
She's the one for me, and I'm the one for her.
Don't have to wish, not anymore,
Someone like this you wait a lifetime for.

Chorus:
And this ring Can't glitter in the dark, all alone.
To see it shine, hold it in the light,
And that precious stone
Will be a beacon of the love that brings you home.

When it feels like this, then you're not afraid,
When you've got a friend, and she's the best you ever made.
We're going to take a walk, going to make a vow
Cause the greater risk would be missing out.

And she told me this, that "The love keeps growing.
You can only love someone as much as you know them."
And I am loving her, too much to tell,
And I plan to know her very well.
CHORUS

I've got a lot of love, and a lot of faith
Got a lot to learn, mmm, but that's okay.
I can feel this smile from deep inside,
Walk her down the aisle, and you may kiss the bride.
CHORUS


DREAMS COME TRUE
© 1999 Lyrics by Lowry Olafson

   -- listen to   Dreams Come True

You can lay your head upon your pillow,
Savouring the slumber while it lasts,
And drift back to your dreams, where everything is seen
Through contented, rosy-coloured glass.

Swept away by your imagination,
Knights in shining armour come to call,
And when they whisper pretty words and promise you the world,
You'll wake up wishing you could have it all.

Chorus 1:
And fantasies are fine, and they can fill your mind
With all kinds of possibilites,
But promises of kisses aren't half as good as this is,
Living the reality, of you and me.

I know we don't live inside a castle.
We're not mystical like Merlin, or as wise,
But there's magic all the same, in every passing day,
Enchanting as the sparkle in your eyes.

Chorus 2:
And fantasies are fine, and they can fill your mind
With all kinds of possibilites.
But if you let them blind you, how could someone ever find you,
Someone who's as real as you? Darling, dreams come true.

Bridge:
Larger than life is not what I'm looking for,
And I won't be fooled by any of that.
You come home at night and you walk through that open door,
Just as you are, just as simple as that.

And when you lay your head upon my shoulder,
I will be beside you as you dream,
And this love I offer you is tangible and true,
And worthy of a Princess or a Queen.

Chorus 1

FIRE AND WATER
© 2000 Music by Lowry Olafson and Joe Stanton
Lyrics by Lowry Olafson, Shannon Woode and Joe Stanton

   -- listen to   Fire And Water

Fire and water, sun and ice,
Rain storms down, and lightning strikes,
Old rivals and old friends,
Like sparkling waves on the riverbend.

You are the fire burning bright,
An ember waiting to ignite.
I am the water running slow,
Deep and dark, the river flows.

CHORUS:
Water boils, then it's gone,
If fire burns too hot, the flames will not last the whole night long.
First the sun, then the rain,
Each in turn, in everything.

Ice will melt in the winter sun
Til signs of springtime have begun.
Let your passion burn so strong
That it warms the heart of the riversong.
CHORUS

So many things you can't explain,
Like why this feels as right as rain,
But it's as natural as can be,
Fire and water, you and me.
Fire and water, you and me.


LET IT BEGIN
© 1997 Lowry Olafson

   -- listen to   Let It Begin

You brought me roses wrapped in plain brown paper
So I placed them in a jar.
These simple gifts are what we give each other
Little parts of who we are.
I brought you to the water, we sat beside the brook,
Made make believe canoes from little twigs we set afloat.
We followed them downstream to where a log had formed a pool
And mirrored our reflections for the first time me and you.

CHORUS:
Let it begin, flowing like water from a spring.
Sometimes you don't have to try
Sometimes you just have to let that river in.

With the winter rains that bring the Spring to Texas
The Guadeloupe overflows.
If there are angels sent down to protect us,
I'd like to think it may be so.
I was swimming where the surface was smooth and moving slow
And I did not see it whirling till I felt the undertow.
That spinning water spit me out like a piece of old debris
And now I know some rivers are much stronger than me.

CHORUS 2: Let it begin, flowing like water from a spring.
Sometimes you don't have to try
Sometimes you just have to let that river win.
I love to touch you in the morning light, caress the shadows on your skin
Safe in the harbour of your loving, I feel this taking wing.

LAST CHORUS:Let it begin, flowing like water from a spring.
Sometimes you don't have to try
Sometimes you don't have to try
Sometimes you just have to let that river in.

FEELS LIKE FOREVER
© 2003 Lowry Olafson

   -- listen to   Feels Like Forever

It feels like forever,
Been waiting patiently,
Like I’ve been holding on for an eternity
And now at last you’re here,
Just like I always knew
And it feels like forever,
I’ve been in love with you.

Feels like forever,
Like there’s a history
Feels so familiar between you and me,
It’s like I’ve always known you
Although our love is still brand new
It feels like forever,
I’ve been in love with you.

Bridge:
Since the instant that I saw you,
Everything has changed.
The lonely days are gone,
Won’t be alone again.

It feels like forever,
So we can take it slow.
We’ll always be together, I’ll never let you go
And as the years unfold,
We’ll watch these dreams come true
Cuz it feels like forever,
I’ll be in love with you.
