Sunshine Back To Me

A story about the pain of loss

Johnny R Sunshine Back To Me Woke up to a quiet house this morning coffee’s cold where you used to be Ain’t no footsteps down that hallway just echoes keep calling me Pictures hanging look like strangers don’t feel like this place is mine Every little thing reminds me how I lost you one slow goodbye I’ve been driving past your old street like it might turn back time Radio keeps playing our song, but it don’t sound right tonight Your jacket’s still here in the doorway I don’t have the heart to move it Cause letting go feels like leaving everything we had,,,. is just gone Can someone sing the sunshine back to me The pain is real and the hurt is all I see My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around Won’t someone bring the sunshine back Won’t someone play the sunshine back Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me Bridge 1 There’s a sunrise out my window, but it don’t shine like before Colors faded with your leaving like light don’t reach this door Still, I keep on holding onto every promise we once made Hoping somehow in this darkness there’s a light,,, that didn’t fade If I could turn back every minute, I’d take the hurt instead of you I’d find a way to fix the broken and rewind what we went through But time keeps moving like a river and I’m stuck here on the shore Just waiting on a little sunshine like I’m praying, ya I’m prayin,,, for just one more Can someone sing the sunshine back to me The pain is real and the hurt is all I see My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around Won’t someone bring the sunshine back Won’t someone play the sunshine back Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me I ain’t sleeping like I used to just watching shadows on the wall Every night feels a little longer since you ain’t here at all People say I gotta move on, but they don’t know where to start Cause every road I try to walk down leads me right back,,, to your heart Can someone sing the sunshine back to me The pain is real and the hurt is all I see My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around Won’t someone bring the sunshine back Won’t someone play the sunshine back Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me Can someone sing the sunshine back to me The pain is real and the hurt is all I see My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around Won’t someone play the sunshine back Won’t someone play the sunshine back Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me Yeah, I’m still here in the shadows just knowing someday I’ll see someone sing the sunshine back to me……..

Mickey's Song, Nine Lives Wasn't Enough (Goodbye Friend)

lost my best friend

Johnny R Mickey’s Song “Nine Lives Wasn’t Enough” (Goodbye Friend) You were waiting by the window sunlight in your eyes Nine years went so quietly didn’t know goodbyes Every step behind me every night you’d stay Never thought a broken road would take you far away I called your name in empty rooms still expect your sound Half of me is listening for footsteps not around Nine lives wasn’t enough for you or maybe just for me You were my whole world in ways no one can see Now the house is just a memory echoes in the dark You didn’t just leave quietly you took my only heart Little shadows chasing light beams falling on the floor You made lonely disappear like it was before I still leave the door cracked open like you might come through Guess I never learned a world that doesn't have you They say you had a good life every day was warm But no one tells you how it breaks when safe turns into storm If there’s a place beyond this where quiet hearts can run, I hope you’re chasing sunlight there like you always done Nine years felt like forever but forever wasn’t true I had a lifetime in your eyes and all of it was you If love could change the ending or stop a rolling car You’d still be here beside me not just a fading star Goodnight my only friend run free where you are Nine lives wasn’t enough, but you’ll always be my heart

We Can Be Unbroken

Story of childhood abuse, addiction, despair, hope, healing, ownership of self

Johnny R We can Be Unbroken When I was just a boy, my life was such a joy Until they came and took her away When I was just a boy, they made me a man Did things to me most wouldn’t understand The damage was done life was not fun The world seemed like such an evil place Had nothing left to give really didn’t want to live But I knew there had to be a better way Three years of pain became an unholy drain Took a lifetime to make it go away I worked hard everyday and found a better way Now I know we can be unbroken

Angel Of The Day

Written For Alice while she came into the room, song off of Dead Tree Down, summer of 2027

Johnny R Angel Of The Day “ You’re my angel in the morning You’re my angel every day I feel the dark clouds rolling over But we’re moving into brighter days When the shadows start surrounding You’re the light that finds my way Every step feels like forever But you wash the night away You’re my angel of the day Shining through the dark when I’ve lost my way Take my hand, never let me stray You’re my angel… my angel of the day There must be something about us I think I loved you from the start Every moment spent together Pulls you closer to my heart Like a fire in the silence Like a spark I can’t contain Every touch is like a promise Burning through me in the rain When the night tries to pull me under You’re the fire, you’re the cure Hear my heart, every word I say You’re my angel, angel of the day You’re my angel of the day Shining through the dark when I’ve lost my way Take my hand, never let me stray You’re my angel… my angel of the day And I don’t wanna lose this feeling When the world fades into grey You’re the reason I keep breathing You’re the light that pulls me through the pain When it all comes crashing down You’re the voice inside the sound Calling me to stay You’re my angel of the day “Stay with me…” “Never fade away…” “You’re my angel…” You’re my angel of the day Angel… of the day…

Standing Strong

Victory Song, song off of Dead Tree Down, summer of 2027

Johnny R “Standing Strong” When you see me coming, you know that I broke through, I will be the one standing strong, and running home to you. If you feel the power, that’s storming cross the ground, For you, you’re my life, I would lay it down. I’ve been lost in the shadows, fighting every doubt, Hear the world like thunder, but I won’t back out. Through the fire and the silence, through the darkest blue, Every road I’m running, leads me back to you. Every scar’s a story, every fall’s a climb, I was made for this moment, I was built for this time. Hear my heart like a drumbeat, breaking every wall, I can feel you calling, I will give it all. When the night gets colder, and the lights burn low, You’re the spark inside me, that will never go. In the chaos and the roaring, you still calm the storm, In your arms I find the place, where I belong. Now the sky is breaking, I can feel the rise, Every dream awakening, right before my eyes. Hear the crowd like thunder, feel it in my veins, I will keep on standing, through the wind and rain. Every scar’s a story, every fall’s a climb, I was made for this moment, I was built for this time. Hear my heart like a drumbeat, breaking every wall, I can feel you calling, I will give it all. This is my forever, this is who I am, I won’t fade or falter, I will make my stand. Through the fear and fire, through the storm I run, Every step I’m closer, I’ve already won. You’re the reason I begin, Every breath I take, every sound, every thought You lift me off the ground. I won’t break, I won’t bend, With you here until the end, Hear it now, hear it loud We’re unstoppable now. Stand strong! Stand tall! We won’t ever fall! Through the fire, through it all, we will stand strong! Stand strong! Stand tall! Hear the victory call! Running home where I belong, we stand strong! When you see me coming…You’ll know I broke through… I’ll be standing strong…Still running home to you… Ooh…To you…To you… Ooh…To you…To you… Ooh…To you…To you
