Little Songs & Smiles

This past week, I've been writing some fun little ditties for my friend. It's been fun to see what I come up with in 10 minutes.
A few of them are posted below. Enjoy, comment, and let me know...if you ever want me to write you something. ;)

Sunny Day

It's a day full of sunshine,
A day to be free.
A day to smile,
Wherever you may be.
You've got a wish,
I've got a dream.
Let's run down to Boardwalk
And splash in the stream.
You've got a picnic,
I've got a map.
Let's take a walk,
We'll make it a snap!
Night falls, we tiptoe
But we're too loud
We're havin' too much fun
To notice there isn't a crowd.
Singing songs, peals of laughter
Echo from the deck.
It's just a mirage,
But this chapter ain't over yet.


Simple Joy
There's no way that I
Can pinpoint the reason why,
When my spirits are down,
Just a smile from you lifts them high.
There's no way to begin to investigate
The simple Joy I get
When we talk and stay up late.
And I honestly don't know how -
This feeling is happening now.
For so long there was a time
Where I never thought you would be mine
And you, you should know, all thoughts aside,
That I want to be the one who won't give up...
I'm sitting here, waiting for the tide. :)


The Part Where Lizzie Comes Out And Sings A Silly Song
I wake up just to hear ya singin'
Roll outta bed just to think of you
Is that my phone that's dancin' while it's ringin',
We're gonna talk, 'cause it's way underdue.
You might be the one that I'm waitin' for,
And who knows what life will bring on.
All I need is a plane ticket to Florida,
Five seconds notice 'til I'm packed and gone.
You're just like the sunshine in the mornin',
With enough light to brighten my day.
You're just like the sugar in my coffee,
putting a bounce in my walk every step of the way.
And I don't know this thing you've got about you,
Spent so many nights wishin' I knew.
Maybe it's the way you laugh,
Or the way you drink half n' half.
Maybe it's the way you set the room on fire,
Maybe it's the way that you take me higher.
Maybe it's the way, maybe it's the way youuu...
Make me smile all darn day! :)


Oh My Dear
Oh my dear,
It seems you've got a lot to say.
Oh my dear,
please bring me a sunny day.
Oh my dear,
you're sweet, my only.
See you smile,
are you happy to have known me?
I am sure it's been way too long,
darlin', since I last wrote you a song.
So here's to you,
here's to me.
Here's to everything
we can't see.
Here's to us,
because we're friends.
Here's to a love that never ends. <3

  2. Are these just lyrics or do you write the music to go along with them as well? Either way, it's really impressive!

    PS - Your debate partner doesn't happen to be Scott, does it? I met him at CHEA this year!

  3. @Tragedy101: Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing them. :)

    @Caitlin: I actually composed music to go along with the first and third songs - the lyrics were too catchy not to sing!

    You're the PR manager for CollegePlus? As in, Caitlin Muir? Wow! I'm just happy you're reading my blog! :)

    Yes, my debate partner was actually Scott McKeever! The fortunate young man, he got to work at the CP! booth this year...but he didn't mention meeting you (or anyone in CP, for that matter! That's fantastic that you got to meet him! Small world...are you centered in LA?
