Rain 04:12
Rain There’s a growing storm around me The howling of the wind screams in my ears The flood of bitter reasons Was not enough to bring back my family And it all rains down on me Like a million tears from the sea I don’t know where I was on that day ‘Cause it was raining down on me I see my own family Six billion maybe more drowning in the sea And all their dreams float past me Like the words of love that all went unsaid And it all rains down on me As the ocean empties the sea I don’t know where you were on that day I just recall you told me one thing You wanna cry You wanna scream Baby that’s alright with me You wanna cry You wanna scream Baby that’s alright with me Baby that’s alright with me Baby that’s alright with me And it all rains down on me As the ocean empties the sea I don’t know where you were on that day I just recall you told me one thing (Chorus) ‘Cause you are the hope That’s raining on me And baby that’s alright by me Yes, you are the hope That’s raining on me And baby that’s alright by me

You Complete Me Staring ‘cross the ocean The ocean in your eyes Diving into feelings I never thought were mine
And how I found a heart like A spring in April’s bloom How I found new meaning Standing next to you So I hope you understand I hope you understand Oh, I hope you understand I hope you understand Oh, I hope you understand I hope you understand You’re the meaning of it all You know, you complete me If someone were to tell me That I’d be meeting you I wouldn’t take it seriously I’d chase away the news I didn’t think me able To be so deep in love I thought it merely fable To feel so much for one (Chorus) …complete me …complete me If someone were to tell me That I’d be meeting you… Staring ‘cross the ocean The ocean in your eyes… (Chorus)

Somebody Else's Love Story Saw the leaves change from green to red Something in the air told me winter was coming As I inclined my head I could see That now your heart was in somebody else’s love story If there’re no happy endings If there’s no such thing as love stories Then why’d you promise me some fairy tale? And somewhere a prince fades from history Written for a tale that no one can remember Turns to his love but all he sees Is that her heart is in somebody else’s love story (Chorus) Let’s tell a story With pages of pain ripped from my bleeding heart What consolation Would you have me sing To rid the memories from the hole in my heart …my heart …my heart Nothing left here but a withered dream Etched in my heart like gnarled tree trunk promises To survive the years for all to see Now that your heart is in somebody else’s love story If there’re no happy endings If there’s no such thing as love stories If nothing can turn this page Then how will I end our love story?

Missing in the dark If i go missing in the dark Illuminate your heart so I can find you ‘Cause in this forest we call life The howling winds of hate and fear are growing stronger And i can’t sing this song forever ‘Cause we’re running out of time If we don’t...find a way to get along We’ll go missing...in the dark We draw a line around our hearts And keep the ones we fear from crossing over i’ll strike a chord to make a spark And set the lines of fear around our hearts on fire And i can’t sing this song forever ‘Cause we’re running out of time If we don’t...find a way to get along We’ll go missing...in the dark And I can’t sing this song forever...my friend Yes, I need you To help unite the hearts together ‘Cause we’re running out of time If we don’t find a way to get along We’ll go missing...in the dark And we’ll go missing in the dark (3x)

Starry Night 05:05
Starry Night Dedicated to my beautiful wife, Melody by: Eric Harper I’ve followed a falling star Sat by my window and played thru the night I’ve sung to the man in the moon But never sang a song for someone like you I know that sometimes life is hard at times And we’ll go thru many tests and many trials But i know you’ll stand by me THRU ALL OF THESE THINGS AND WE’LL FLY UP HIGH THROUGH THE STARRY NIGHT LIKE A CONSTELLATION OF LIFE I’ve followed a shining star Sat by my window and prayed to the night. I’ve danced by the light of the moon But never thought I’d meet somebody like you I know that sometimes life is hard at times And we’ll go thru many tests and many trials But i know i’ll stand by you THRU ALL OF THESE THINGS AND WE’LL FLY UP HIGH THROUGH THE STARRY NIGHT LIKE A CONSTELLATION OF LIFE JUST YOU AND I “Be like unto like unto two pure mirrors reflecting the stars of the stars of the heaven of LOVE AND BEAUTY” I’ve talked to the stars in the sky Sat by my window and sang to the night I’ve seen the sun smile at the moon But never dreamed i’d meet somebody...like you “...be like unto two pure mirrors reflecting the stars of the heaven of love and beauty.” - ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Even though... Even though at times I may not say so I still love you, I still love you Even though the words may betray my lips I still love you, I still love you Oh, I still love Even though outside it is winter A summer breeze fills my heart Even though outside it is winter A summer breeze, a summer breeze Oh, fills my heart Even though tests and trials surround me You keep me strong, off my knees Even though tests and trials surround me You keep me strong, you keep me strong Oh, off my knees Off my knees Off my knees Off my knees Darling oh! Even though at times I may not say so I still love you, I still love you Even though the words may betray my lips I still love you, I still love you Oh, I still love you

about

Eric Harper Victoria, British Columbia

I remember I was in the kitchen doing the dishes when some song came on the radio. I immediately stopped what I was doing, quickly ran into the living room and just stared at the stereo. I was transfixed, mesmerized. I literally couldn’t take my eyes off the stereo. I was so moved by emotion that all I remember thinking was “I want to make people feel like that!” ... more
