Now THIS Girl Can WRITE!

Why
Lyrics by: Bethany Dillon

This house is echoing
With the sound of You knocking at the door
But with three locks and the shades down
You are easy to ignore.

I put You on like an old pair of shoes
I've put You off, but now I need You.

Why, this love that never leaves me
Why are You holding me tonight
Can't deny this love that is given me
Why, this love will never leave

You're a good strategy when I need one
An angle when there is none
Like a doormat
That always says welcome
No matter how much dirt I rub on.

But when I am tired and run through
Look over this hill, I'm running to You.

Why, this love that never leaves me
Why are You holding me tonight
Can't deny this love that is given me
Why, this love will never leave.

I'm always amazed at how there are people that can put MY feelings into words so well. She really CAN write!!

Happy New Year, Steph!

I know! I love this girl: I've quoted her at least three times that I can think of on this blog... and she was only 14 when she wrote this stuff! Talented little girl!
