Missy Higgins Lyrics Where I Stood Novels & Stories

An empty street, an empty house A hole inside my heart I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller I wonder how, I wonder why I wonder where they are The days we had, the songs we sang together Oh, yeah And oh, my love I'm holding on forever Reaching for the love that seems so far So, I say a little prayer And hope my dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue To see you once again, my love Overseas, from coast to coast To find a place I love the most Where the fields are green To see you once again My love (Source: G****e) Finally, they finished dancing, as Niken, her best friend, finished singing. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The shouts of the guests wanting them to kiss again began to be

I murmured. ***** I went to a bridge and stood there, down that bridge was water that was calmly flowing, it was deep and too high up from here. I looked at the sky and reminiscing all the good times I spent with my family as I sang my favorite song, the one that my mother used to sing for me one last time. While I was slowly singing the song, my parents and Mia's face showed in front of me. I burst out tears as I let out the words, "Mom, Dad, and Mia, I know you are waiting for me. Please, wait for me!" I smiled and climbed the barrier of the bridge.

I held groceries for neighbors and even helped carry heavy boxes upstairs. I only charged one cent per package. Just enough to keep records clean without making anyone feel like they owed me. I kept all the one-cent payments in a little tin box. If somebody tossed in extra change or small bills, I used it to buy shared supplies for the pickup station. Their trust and thanks were what kept me going. I was about to reply when shouting exploded outside. "Annie! Get out here and explain yourself!" My heart jumped. I opened the door. Mrs. Couser stood there with her hands on her hips, furious. Mrs. Tate stood beside her with her arms crossed, clearly enjoying the scene.

He looks directly at me when he says it. The music starts. The first new song is slow. Haunting. Piano and his voice. The lyrics are about emptiness. About feeling nothing while everyone watches. The crowd is silent. Just listening. I'm shooting but also hearing every word. The second song is faster. Angry. About pushing people away to protect yourself. The third song destroys me. It's called "Three Feet." The chorus: **You're standing three feet from me / But I can't reach across / I built these walls myself / Now I'm paying the cost**

If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall Or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no-no-no I won't shed a tear Just as long, as you stand, by me And darlin', darlin' stand, by me Oh-oh-oh, stand, by me Oh darling, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Oh, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by I thought of the moments over the last few months where he padded away fallen tears, when I saw my own pain reflected in his eyes. Oh, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet love of mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet love of mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, Sweet love of mine Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Oh, oh Where do

I added even as my voice bore the weight in my heart, Missy nodded her head in response, "That's so sweet of you," She exclaimed enthusiastically, "and to be honest with you, I'm so happy for you, girl because you deserve all the happiness in this whole wide world." She added in one breath, her words coated with warmth as she spoke. I nodded my head repeatedly in response, but then, Missy's gaze drifted into space and I could tell she was contemplating her thought, but before I could inquire about it, her words came again.

One day when the sky is falling, I'll be standing right next to you, Right next to you. Nothing will ever come between us, 'Cause I'll be standing right next to you, Right next to you. If you had my child You would make my life complete Just to have your eyes on a little me. That'd be mine forever. And baby, everything that I have is yours You will never go cold or hungry I'll be there when you're insecure Let you know that you're always lovely Girl, 'cause you are the only thing that I got right now

~Cover my eyes Cover my ears Tell me these words are a lie It cant be true That I'm losing you The sun cannot fall from the sky Can you hear heaven cry Tears of an angel Tears of Tears of an angel Tears of an angel~ When I finally reached my destination there she was, standing on her toes covered with colorful socks trying to place a box on top of a wardrobe. Her hair was a messy of fading curls dispersed in every direction, being tied down by a white clip. Black long sleeves crop top with White shorts exposing her tights felt my blood pressure dropping below average.
