I've been writing songs since I was a little girl, but just started taking the craft seriously in 2005. My hope is to write songs that: make the world a better
Not a band, but a songwriter. I write: Country, Christian Country, Praise and Worship.

Lyrics
I pulled your hair in second grade so you’d know I was alive It got me your attention It got me a black eye But ev’ry lickin’ that I took was more than worth the pain And cause you’d smile when you were done I’d pull that hair again And… Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the good Lord let me keep you By my side forever and a day Amen And if I die before I wake I’ll wait right by that pearly gate Cause what would heaven be without you there with me When I lay me down to sleep Bid my last dollar at the fair cause the girl went with the pie You asked me if I liked it so I smiled and told a lie But ev’ry pang of guilt I felt was more than worth the grief I’d eat more pies and tell more lies for that kiss I received And… Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the good Lord let me keep you By my side forever and a day Amen And if I die before I wake I’ll wait right by that pearly gate Cause what would heaven be without you there with me When I lay me down to sleep And now the sound of your sweet breath sings me off to sleep I count my blessings ev’ry night instead of counting sheep Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the good Lord let me keep you By my side forever and a day Amen And if I die before I wake I’ll wait right by that pearly gate Cause what would heaven be without you there with me When I lay me down to sleep And if I die before I wake I’ll wait right by that pearly gate Cause what would heaven be without you there with me When I lay me down to sleep When I lay me down
