EAT SING LOVEMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2017

Finding the home of rocks and treesA whole other world that’s dear to meWhen the sun’s in your heartThat’s a good place to startWalk around, feel the groundHold the truth in your armsHang onThe stillness of the nightWatch the stars fall through the sky

All of these roads are clear to seeStanding alone in front of meTaste the wind in your hairTouch the mist over thereFollow dreams to the edgeOf the cool mountain airHold onTo silver shades of blueSongs of love and thoughts of you

So many years in the makingColour the darkness and free your mindMorning doves and meadowlarksCalling to the light

Now that we live so carelesslyHang on to love so recklesslyTurn around, hear the songThat belongs in your heartNever mind all the timesWhen your soul fell apartSo longTo fairy tales and dreamsSomeday it will dawn on me

DOWNTOWNMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2015

There’s a lot of chat About this and thatThe world is a crazy placeYou start singin’ a tuneJust to lighten the moodThere’s no need to be afraid

You make your own paradiseYou gotta get on your wayYou’re a time machine in a lover’s dreamWake up, seize the day

Slow down, right nowThe sun shines all the time(Slow down)

We’re pollutin’ the airLike we don’t have a careA product of societySo you get on the busForget about GusTo change your reality

So you’re down and outWell get over yourselfLife isn’t always grandThere’s a man on the streetAnd he’s draggin’ his feetYou might as well lend a hand

Slow down, right nowThe sun shines all the timeSlow down

You make your own paradise

GOODBYE HELLOMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2015

Goodbye to the everlasting highwayGoodbye to the only one that got awayWhen the sun’s in the horizonThere’s a soul that keeps on risingPainting pictures on the corner of my

Secrets and opinions at stakeFalling on the sidewalk as they swayIs it truth or is it fictionDo the pieces come togetherDo they lie beneath the corners of my life

Silver moonlight Gentle rainLove the way you call my nameListen to the honey beesCast aside those silly schemes

Counting all the fire fliesSprinkle stardust in your eyesAnd sigh

Hello to the pavilion of dreamsHello to the holy name on the marqueeThere’s a cold wind that is blowingAnd the sunshine lights the candlesThat are burning in the corner of my mind

THE GIFTMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2010

I’m thankful for the gift of lifeThe sweet kiss of a moonlit nightThe calm caress of Northern LightsThe power of an eagle’s flight

I love the taste of falling rainThe sunshine on a golden plainI get off from the scent of a perfumed flowerAnd the freshness of a season’s change

I’m in loveI’m in love with the earth and its offeringsI’m in loveI’m in love with your smile and the joy it brings

I’m thankful for the gift of loveThe comfort of a mother’s touchThe soft embrace of a summer breezeThe silence of a winter’s eve

I love the open prairie skyThe brilliance of a butterflyThe haunting sound of a lone loon’s cryAnd the spirit of a storm’s display

I’m in loveI’m in love with the earth and its happeningsI’m in loveI’m in love with your soul and the hope it bringsI can’t believe I’m in this lifeSometimes I take it for granted and that’s not rightI’m blessed to be here singing you this song

I’m in loveI’m in love with the earth and its offeringsI’m in loveI’m in love with your smile and the joy it bringsI can’t believe my crazy luckTo be put in this place, as if that’s not enoughI’m blessed to be here singing you this song

BY THE LIGHT OF THE FIREMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2002

I sit here inspired by the light of the fireThe warmth and the beauty surround meLeap to the stars pour into my heartThe sweetness of life in the airAnything goes as the chapters unfoldThe spirit I give will come back to meSuspended in time, it’s a wonderful rideI have the courage to love

And one day, a small step awayWe’ll dance by the light of the fireAll day, get carried awayTogether we light the sky

Once in a while I look life in the eyeEmbracing a powerful mysteryWith friends by my side, an infinite bindThe essence of love in the air

Stop looking and seeYou better want what you’ve gotStop thinking and beThe world is a fantasyThere goes the sun as the full moon arrivesA forest of natural symphoniesLike rainbows sublime, it’s a magical timeWe have the courage to love

LOVE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWNMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2016

Sometimes the heart is full of sorrowSometimes we need a helping handSometimes we try to be the heroSometimes we just don’t understand But in the midst of all this suffering We can keep our spirits highWith kindness and compassion We can certainly get by

It’s all about love Love, loveLove always wins outIt’s all about love Love, loveLove will never let you down

Sometimes a friendship falls apartSometimes a stranger’s more forgivingAnd when it’s time to work it outSomeone you love will come and help you, Touch your heart once more

Sometimes you lose the ones you loveSometimes the tears are never ending Yes you will hold them in your heart You’ll keep on living through the painYou’ll find your way back home

THE RIGHT WAYMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2002

Get around, get lost, get a job, get alongGet anything you want, get a life, get out of townGet peace of mind, get rest, get laidGet to know who you really areYou’ll find you’re no one

Say what you mean, mean what you sayDon’t say a thing, say everythingWhat’s that you say, I say nothingYes I say nothing

You’re looking for the right way homeYou’re looking for the right wayThe right way homeThe right way

Take a hike, take up yoga, take your pick, take your time

Take me out to the ball game, take the A train, take my lead

Take me in your arms, take my loveTake me as I amYou’ll find I’m no one

Do the hustle, do the tango, do your homework, do the deed

Do you see the seasons changingDo you see what it all meansDo you care, do you shareDo you wear flowers in your hairDo you love, do you dream

You always have a choiceYou can find your voiceJust rise and shine your love

What do you think, what do you feelWhat do you remember when you waken from

your dreamsAre you there, are you scaredAre you emerging from your lairAre you drifting out to sea

GRACE OF AN ANGELMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©2015

Somehow we are drawn togetherTake a chance through stormy weatherFlowers grow by gravel roads We share another day

Making music, stolen kissesSlipping in and out of focusText goodnight, turn down the lightWe talk another day

Love is the answer so they sayOpen your arms now go awaySuddenly the sky is fallingThings have gone astrayHanging on to wings of an angel

Cherished in her heart he lingersSleeping while her song awakensLaugh and cry, a year goes byShe thinks another day

Locked inside his heart she lingersTreasured in a frozen prairie

Laugh and cry, the years go byHe drinks another day

Time heals all wounds that’s what they sayHang on to what you know and prayAll alone, the crowds are cheeringNow you can have your wayFollowing the dream of an angel

Now the summer months are endingBroken hearts in need of mendingOne plus one as we move onWe breathe another day

Follow your dreams that’s what they sayAnswer to no one, come what mayDamn it all, I care too muchTo throw it all awayHonouring the grace of an angel

THE ROADMusic: Lianne Fournier Lyrics: Honey Hill ©1999

Where are you hiding Where do you keep your dreamWhat is your deep desireCould you be waitingFor someone to find youSomeone to remind you ofThe road to the home of love

The road is a secretYou need to know the wayLearn how to read the signsYou must have been thereEnough to rememberWhen it is time to turn

I know where it isI’ll take you with meI have seen it from a distant shoreI know where it isI could show you What you’ve been waiting forI know where it isI’ll take you with meI know how to find the golden doorI know where it isI could show you What you’ve been waiting for

Would you be willingTo walk on a wilder trailWith someone to take care ofThe home on the road of love

I know where it isI’ll take you with meI have seen it from a distant shoreI know where it isI could show you What you’ve been waiting forI know where it isI’ll take you with meI know how to find the golden doorI know where it isI’ll take you with meI have seen it from a distant shoreI know where it isI could show you All of your dream and more

BREATHING LESSONSMusic & lyrics: lianne Fournier ©1999

As I watch the leaves fall to the groundI see colours stirAnd all this change before my eyesA stitch in timeI dance alone ‘neath a starlit skyCelebrating lifeEven when I think I’ll come apartFaith or fear

I come and go on a rolling trainMy soul’s aliveLike a fire leaps in to the nightPure and wildWill you dance with me by the light of the moonWill you break my fallWill you take me in your armsLove is strongOh love is strongAnd that’s where I’m bound

When I find the road To a sea of smiling children playing in the sand

I’ll taste the raptureAnd learn how to breathe

Now I finally see how a garden growsThe sun came up as the rain came tumbling downA rainbow’s graceI dance alone ‘neath a starlit skyCelebrating lifeEven when I think I’ll come apartIt takes some timeBut I know I’ll be alrightI’m gonna stand and touch the skyWell I’ve come too far to throw it all awayI go onI have to face my fearsReach for the starsTo a galaxy of truth
