I'll Love You All My Days
Lyrics by Tom Wehrle & Heather Velloff
Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

I'm not rich / I'm not poor / I got exactly what I'm looking for
I can't dance / I can't fly / Oh but I'll always love you till the end of our lives

I'll stay with you the rest of my days / Babe you don't need to change
Cause your imperfections make you sane / And I'll love you all my days / Yeah, I'll love you all my days

I'm not first / I'm not last / I dream big and take every chance
I can't laugh / I can't smile Without you here to take me through this wild ride that we call life

Better or worse aint a curse / When it's you in my universe
We're forever united / Even if death divides us
I'll keep saying I do, I do, I do / Always, for you

My Sunlight (chord chart)
Lyrics by Tom Wehrle
Music by Tom Wehrle & Dan Smith
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

I've failed so many times / I wonder if I can get you right
I need a wish on a star that won't burn dim
So much more than I could pretend

So hold me down, right now
Cause there's nothing else like you around
Hold me down / Cause there's no one else like you I've found

I never wanna leave your side / I wanna see every sunrise (sunset/moonlight) through your eyes
Cause now I know what it's like / I could try my whole life / But I know I'll never find
The way your eyes / Light up my sunlight

You've failed so many times / Now you wonder if you'll ever get it right
But all we get is just one life
And it's just one try we get before we close the scene
And baby you're all I need / (And baby I pray you see)

Perfect Ordinary Fairytale
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

You are the beauty / I’m the beast / Desperately wondering in neverland
While you’re holding pixie dust like it aint nothing special in your hand
I'm down the hole, it's taboo / Running like a fool to you

You unfroze my lonely world when I saw your eyes / I get a crazy feeling that I, just might fly

I'm falling apart / I'm amazed I ever found my way to you / Cause here you are right on time
Cause everything's always right on time / With you I know / You're my world / My perfect ordinary fairytale

Sorry it took me so much time / But these castle walls were built so high
I couldn't climb to see the other side of me I desperately need

Sometimes true love has to wait, for the perfect fit, or shoe / Some call it magic, but I know it's you

This aint a story bout' toys coming to life, no / Just a damsel in distress saved by her prince, yeah
A couple ugly ducklings somehow finding the other side / In unordinary perfect way

For A Lifetime Today
Lyrics by Tom Wehrle & Josh Mc Alister
Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2002

When I heard your voice / You cleared all the noise / You made all things new
If you see no end in sight / Know I'll be here by your side / I would be so lost without you

I will give to you everything my heart can give
I will love you more every day
I will cherish you like no one else can do
I will give you my love for a lifetime today

When I looked in to your eyes / You brought my world to life / Your love is all I see
And if the sky turns to grey / No, my feelings won't fade / I always want you beside me

You will always be the other side of me
So I will give you my love for a lifetime today
I will promise you for a lifetime today

All I Know / God Is Love (chord chart)
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

My life isn't my mine / I know it every time / I try to make it on my own
This loneliness I feel / can only be healed / By something greater, I already know
That feeling never gets old

Chains aren't for me / Maybe cause I believe / And I see, I'm already free

All I know is I'll be fine / I know it's not just time
Before you're here by my side / Cause you're already near
You're already here in my life

Happiness is real / I know it cause I feel it / Every time you're around
Emptiness is real / But grace filled those holes that had torn me down

I tried to find a better way and runaway / But no one cared but you always stood by me
When I needed someone in my darkest hour / To help me see the light was always there to set me free / You set me free

Sometimes I get lost and I fall / Lose my place and crawl back to your throne
Cause I know I can place my hope / I can place my fears in you alone

God is love / His plan is love / For all of us
Our God is love / His plan's enough / For everyone

You took my brokenness / Filled the emptiness / With your love

Everything To Me
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2010

How can I say something to change the way you see me now
Cause I'm the same one who heard you when you cried and made you feel alright
But now you see me as somebody else

If loving you was my crime, then I'll do my time
Cause I can't stop loving you even if you want me to
I wandered all my life until I looked into your eyes and saw
You're everything to me

Where have you been all my life
What took me so long to find
You there with that magic in your eyes
That brought me back to life
I know it's true, everything I've found in you

I know sometimes feelings go
But I'll stay even if they fade away
Cause I know sometimes feelings can grow
So I'll stay with you all my days

You're everything to me
And all I wanted to be
I found in your eyes when I saw
You're everything to me
Yeah, I see you're everything to me
I know, I know you're everything to me

Love That's Free (chord chart)
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

Bring out your heartache / Forget all the whys
Leave all your riddles that fade to goodbye
Send out your lonely heart for awhile
Take home your burdens and rest them on high

There is love for you and me
That takes the place of all we need
If you can run, you can follow
So follow me to the love that's free

Watch your story never get told
Become bitter of growing old
Forgive yourself from the shame you hide
Calm your fears and place them on high

He's just what you're waiting for
He's just what you're waiting for
So come and be free
So come and be free
He'll set you free
He'll set you free

If you can run, you can follow
So follow me to the love that's free

All I Ever Need Is You (chord chart)
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

I've walked through my share of fire
Losing my place on the wire
I'm learning these days to dance
See, my life aint nothing but a second chance

Cause, until I met you
I never knew what pulled me thru
My helpless lifeless fear
But then I found you
And you helped me see what should be clear
That all I ever need is you
All I ever need is you

I've seen oceans so wide
Never thought I'd reach the other side
But I can tell you there's always more than meets the eye
Everything has a great design

When I called your name
You came and rescued me with grace
Grace I'd never seen
I really can't believe why you’d saved me from me
Only you could save me

Yeah, I never knew what brought me thru
My helpless lifeless fear
But then I found you
And you helped me see what should be clear
That all I ever need is you
Yeah, All I ever need is you
Yeah, all I ever need is you
All I ever need is you

I've seen mountains so high
Never thought I'd reach the other side

You're Always By My Side
Lyrics & Music by Tom Wehrle
PUBLISHED BY SHAKIN THE MUSIC (ASCAP) © 2015

Most the time I think that I could be wrong
Doubts try to fill my mind
But reason always finds a way to come along
And I see, you're always by my side

How am I to know
Which way I'm suppose to go
Cause sometimes wrong is right
And it's just a matter, a matter of fight which way is right
Cause you're always by my side

The tears always taste the same when I lose
I never learned to love a cry
Despite the cards in my hand I sometimes choose
I know, you're always by my side

You know I am here
And your love always endears
Even when I stray
You always stay and your faithful with grace that never hides
Cause you're always by my side

You know life aint clear
But you forgive all my stupid fears
And when I'm lost at sea
You rescue me and hold on to me, so I can see
You're always by my side

Yeah, you're always, you're always, you're always by my side
You're always by my side
