“Where I Belong”
Anton du Preez
The news is on the radio
We're lounging on the patio
I'm playing my guitar and singing songs you love
The one that makes you smile
And then we run inside
As the run falls like a curtain
In the garage with doors wide open
Making furniture, or a new back door
Grumbling as we search for missing tools
How I wish I could be there to laugh with you
[Chorus]
Take me there
Back to the place where you mess my hair
I pour you a drink and we always share
The warmth of your blanket
Take me now
Away from this lonely place
Show me how and when I can see your face
Call to me and help me find my way
Back where I belong
You tore my soul wide open
And filled it with the depths of your love
Now I'm lost at sea
Trying to break free
How I wish that I could see you move
My heart is breaking without you
[Repeat Chorus]
Take me now
Away from this lonely place
Show me how and when I can see your face
Call to me and help me find my way
[Repeat Chorus]

“Trust”
Anton du Preez
Sitting here thinking 'bout how to make things right
It's been awhile since we had our last big fight
Watching waves wash away castles in the sand
Wondering how to be a better man
[Chorus]
But I don't care to find the answer
No I don't need the reason why
'Cause now I know you are my lifeline
And you give me wings to fly
Baby, you're by inspiration
And now I know where I belong
'Cause with you my life carries on
Sleeping less, drinking more, clouded by my fear
I sit awake chasing thoughts as the dawn is drawing near
I cannot comprehend what perfect is to you
But why do I fight, when I know this much is true
[Repeat Chorus]
Carries on like the wind as it rushes
Over great Midwestern plains
You smother me with kisses
As the thunder makes it rain
Though lighting bolts may strike
And try to split our hearts in two
I know that you'll be with me
'Til our life is through
[Repeat Chorus] x2
'Cause with you my life
Baby, you are my life
Denny, with you my life carries on

“Weakest Link”
Anton du Preez
Life without you is not worth living
I stare at my own reflection with tears streaming
One single thought prevails in my mind
And it's you
But why can't I shake this feeling inside
That my one hope will be with you?
[Chorus]
I can't go on
Dreaming and wishing and crying and missing
You are only
As strong as your weakest link
You found someone else faster than I can recover
But still I dream that one day I will be your lover
Now everyone says to cast you away and I'm trying
But you're my best friend and I can't go on
Without you embracing my life
[Repeat Chorus]
Crying 'til my tears run dry
I feel like I'm drowning in life
Watching you go
Is killing me slow
Please just give me one more try
[Repeat Chorus] x2

“The Happiest”
Anton du Preez
All my days I spent alone and so I prayed
That I would find someone to spend the rest of time
And all those lonely nights I cried myself to sleep
Hoping for someone to bring me peace
Wondering everyday just how I'd make it through
Hoping, praying, that I'd find someone like you
Before the light, I've heard, the night is darkest and may hurt
And everything seems harder than before
But then you came, you came to me
Then I saw you
And you saw me
And together our hearts beat wildly and free
From the moment you walked into my life
I was the happiest man in all the world
Caressing you fingertips, I feel
My aching heart at last has something real
Then you gently hold my face and kiss me, dear
Overflowing with a love so sweet and pure
And although we may depart
I'll still have you in my heart
We may travel far and wide
But I'll still have you by my side
When loneliness gets though
I think of how much I'm in love
And know that you are thinking of me too
'Cause you love me, and I love you
Then you held me
And I held you
And together we shared a love so freely and true
From the moment you walked into my life
I was the happiest man in all the world
'Cause I love you
And you love me
And together we will live happily
From the moment you walked into my life
I was the happiest man in all the world
