Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: This Is Home (Lyrics)

This is Home
C. Talbot/M. Eldridge/J. Tzuke

Move, move, moving on
Grow, grow, growing up
It's time to face the truth
Don't think of it as a door that's shut

I just need to say before
you go away

This is home
It's made of us
Not of bricks but love and trust
Times has come and change we must
We're the heart we're not the dust

We don't let go, go, go

Try, try, trying hard
To make sense of where you are
You're only three miles down the road
But you're world away my Mollie Rose

I just need to say before
you go away

Chorus:
This is home
It's made of us
Not of bricks but love and trust
Times has come and change we must
We're the heart we're not the dust

You're in our blood you'll never fade

Though I'll miss you let's celebrate

The times we shared we'll still remain

You've got a whole new life to create

But don't let go, go, go, go

You have to go, go, go

We won't let go, go, go

You're in our blood you'll never fade

Though I'll miss you let's celebrate

Chorus:
This is home
It's made of us
Not of bricks but love and trust
Times has come and change we must
We're the heart we're not the dust

You're in our blood you'll never fade

Though I'll miss you let's celebrate

The times we shared they'll still remain

You've got a whole new life to create

You have to go, go, go

We won't let go, go, go

Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: When I Fall in Love (Lyrics)

When I Fall in Love

E. Heyman/V. Young

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

[Instrumental]

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you

Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: I'll Be There (Lyrics)

I'll Be There

M. Skloff/A. Willis/P. Solem/D. Wilde

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you

('Cause you're there for me too)

Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: Vincent (Lyrics)

Vincent

D. Mclean

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night

You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: Shut Up (Move On) (Lyrics)

Shut Up (Move On)

C.Talbot/M. Eldridge/B. Mair

Verse 1:
You always verbalise
The doubts I wanna hide
My dreams get criticised
But you're just a voice in my mind

Pre:
But you're not getting in my way

Chorus:
So shut up move on, stop saying what you want for me
I'll live my life at 100,000 feet
I'm tired of all your words, my actions speak louder to me
Don't make a sound

Just Shut Up, shut up

Verse 2:
The noise gets me tongue tied
Coz I don't believe in your lies
No space to compromise
Gonna see the world through my own eyes

Pre:
And nothing's getting in my way

Chorus:
So, Shut Up move on, stop saying what you want for me
I'll live my life at 100,000 feet
I'm tired of all your words, my actions speak louder to me
Don't make a sound

Just Shut Up, shut up,
Just shut up, shut up

You say I'm not a kite I'll fly
You say I'm not a star I'll shine
You think I'm wrong, I know I'm right
(I'm my own mind)

Shut up

I'm tired of all your words, my actions speak louder to me
Don't make a sound

So shut up, lets get on, start dreaming up my dreams with me
Let's take a leap of faith from 100,000 feet
I'm done with all these words, coz actions speak louder to me
Don't make a sound

Just shut up, shut up, just shut up, shut up
(I'm my own mind)

You say I'm not a kite I'll fly
You say I'm not a star I'll shine
You think I'm wrong, I know I'm right
I'm my own mind

Connie Talbot - Matters to Me Album: Those Days (Lyrics)

Those Days

C.Talbot

When the birds sing a little louder

And the melody has finally found you

When the silk in your hair is softer

And the strum in my guitar is clearer

Those days are the best

No more messing around gotta

Keep my head high

No letting stress ge the best of you

No waiting for the day coz theres

No more time to save

I’m not playing the waiting game

I’ve got all my cards to play

Hey hey ay

When the sun glows

A brighter yellow

And the summer breeze

Catches the meadow

Where the sand meets the tide

Just remember that the grass

Isn’t greener on the other side

No waiting for the day ‘cause

There’s no more time to save

No more playing the waiting game

I’ve got all my cards to play

Hey hey ay

When the day seems to last forever
