Forever With You

I wrote this song a long time ago, soon after meeting the woman who would become my wife. I encapsulates how I felt about her early on in our relationship. I THINK THEY CALL IT HEAVEN by Joe Herbert I know of angels in books, stories, and songs I thought I saw one once, but I was wrong They only live in fairy tales It was so hard to believe in that much love From something I can't see, something I can't touch Where is this world of theirs I think they call it Heaven I've seen love die before, that's not something new And that doesn't seem like something, that an angel would do How can that be God's plan? Yes, I lost faith, I threw in the towel Until I saw her face, and look at me now Just look at where I am I think they call it Heaven I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace How can I describe this place That she takes me, she's a miracle She's God's angel It's unbelievable, but now I believe I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I I think they call it Heaven The angel I know, she's missing certain things There's not halo, and she doesn't have wings But I know how she makes me feel Her love for me is strong, she makes me smile She doesn't do me wrong, she goes that extra mile Now I know they are for real, because I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace How can I describe this place That she takes me, she's a miracle She's God's angel It's unbelievable, but now I believe I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace How can I describe this place That she takes me, she's a miracle She's God's angel It's unbelievable, but now I believe I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I I think they call it Heaven I think they call it Heaven --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

I wrote this song many years ago before we were married. We started out with a long distance relationship. I wrote these lyrics during expressing how I felt at that time. WHEN SHE MISSES ME by Joe Herbert She called me today to tell me that she loves me She asked me if I thought that she was crazy For missing me so much I said no, then told her one of my jokes She laughed and cried, then told me that it hurts most When she needs a hug She's been having crazy dreams about us The lonely nights are getting to be too much And I know it's hard Every now and then she has a bad day And she doesn't need to hear what I say She needs my arms But... I'm up north, she's down south For what it's worth things have worked out But there are days she gets tears They go away, but he still has fears I know it's strange and so unclear She goes insane, or just gets weird But that's OK, she gets that way When she misses me We watch the same shows, and she blows me kisses But I can't hug her, and I'm the one she misses Even though we're far apart When we look at the stars, we see the same ones We both get burned by same sun So I'm not that far I'm up north, she's down south For what it's worth things have worked out But there are days she gets tears They go away, but he still has fears I know it's strange and so unclear She goes insane, or just gets weird But that's OK, she gets that way When she misses me We watch the same shows, and she blows me kisses But I can't hug her, and I'm the one she misses Even though we're far apart When we look at the stars, we see the same ones We both get burned by same sun So I'm not that far Though... I'm up north, she's down south For what it's worth things have worked out But there are days she gets tears They go away, but he still has fears I know it's strange and so unclear She goes insane, or just gets weird But that's OK, she gets that way When she misses me --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

My wife and I began our journey many years ago with a long distance relationship. As we started to fall in love, I could sense her doubts and fears all rolled up into wonders... mostly wondering if I felt the same. I took that concept then and wrote these lyrics. Now, after many years of marriage I have turned my lyrics into this beautiful song about our early dating days. WONDERFUL by Joe Herbert You can wonder what tomorrow holds Will be hot? Or will it be cold? You might wonder what your life would be like Never sure if your decisions were right Can you make it in a different town? Have faith in God, he won't let you down You can wonder if you'll have romance But you'll never know unless you take a chance You can wonder about so many things But if you're wondering... Does he love me? Don't doubt it! I think of us, does he? I think about it! When I'm missing him, does he miss me? Baby, it's the truth You wonder this, you wonder that Don't be fooled You're full of wonders and that just makes you Wonderful! You might wonder how you found your love Was it destiny? Or just good luck You can wonder why things happen like this Was it fate? Or just coincidence Can you make it in a different town? Have faith in God, He won't let you down You can wonder if you'll have romance But you'll never know unless you take a chance Yes, you can wonder why it's happened to you What you did to find a love so true You wonder why your mind is wandering, well While it wanders if you wondering... Does he love me? Don't doubt it! I think of us, does he? I think about it! When I'm missing him, does he miss me? Baby, it's the truth You wonder this, you wonder that Don't be fooled You're full of wonders and that just makes you Wonderful! Does he love me? Don't doubt it! I think of us, does he? I think about it! When I'm missing him, does he miss me? Baby, it's the truth You wonder this, you wonder that Don't be fooled You're full of wonders and that just makes you Wonderful! You're wonderful You're full of beauty, you're so beautiful I'm full of thanks, yes I'm thankful That you're full of wonders, and you're wonderful There's no doubt about it, you are Wonderful! Does he love me? Don't doubt it! I think of us, does he? I think about it! When I'm missing him, does he miss me? Baby, it's the truth You wonder this, you wonder that Don't be fooled You're full of wonders and that just makes you Wonderful! You're full of wonders and that just makes you Wonderful! You're wonderful You're full of beauty, you're so beautiful I'm full of thanks, yes I'm thankful That you're full of wonders, and you're wonderful There's no doubt about it, you are Wonderful! --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

I wrote this song as a wedding gift to my wife when we got married on Nov. 2, 2002. Country music recording artist JR Jones cut a version of this song for me then. In 2024 I produced my own version. I hope you like it. ALWAYS HAVE by Joe Herbert Will I give to you all the love I have Will I promise to give it all I can Will I do it right from the start And every day near or apart Will I keep you here in my heart I always have, I am, I will Long after the world is standing still I'll be there by your side And I'll be there all my life If you're asking me, Will I? The answer I give is still I always, I am, I will Will I be with you and no one else Will I love you more than life itself Will I keep the promise that I've made And every moment here or away Will I be loving you every day I always have, I am, I will Long after the world is standing still I'll be there by your side And I'll be there all my life If you're asking me, Will I? The answer I give is still I always, I am, I will I always have, I am, I will Long after the world is standing still I'll be there by your side And I'll be there all my life If you're asking me, Will I? The answer I give is still I always, I am, I will If you're asking me, Will I? Yes, I will If you're asking me, Will I?

This song was fun to write. I wrote it many years ago, early in my marriage. The lyrics were a gift to my wife. Several years later I collaborated with a friend who plays guitar and sings to turn into a song. And now, I've made a version of my own. I hope your wishes have all come true too. THREE WISHES by Joe Herbert Never rubbed on a lamp and found myself a genie Never chased down a leprechaun Never walked outside on a clear dark night And wished upon a shooting star And I never entered the fortuneteller's tent Down at the county fair Never cared to blow out my birthday candles In only one breath of air Yeah... I didn't know that I had three wishes But I love how they all turned out I've got good health, a great group of friends And a family that I care about Yes, I got all that I always wanted On the day that I married you And I didn't even know that I had three wishes But I'm happy they all came true I never tugged at my eye for my lashes Never played tug-of-war with a bone Don't know any gypsies, fairies or pixies A magic wand is something I don't own Never rubbed on the horn of a white unicorn Never read a book of spells But I have extra money in my pocket Cause I didn't throw it down any wells Yeah... I didn't know that I had three wishes But I love how they all turned out I've got good health, a great group of friends And a family that I care about Yes, I got all that I always wanted On the day that I married you And I didn't even know that I had three wishes But I'm happy they all came true I didn't even know that I had three wishes But somehow they all came true --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

This is another song that I wrong many years ago, early in our marriage. It draws upon my experience of falling in love with her. THE BEST PART by Joe Herbert Life and liberty are things I started with But happiness, I got from her We all have the one we're meant to find Deep inside, I know it's her Her hearts pumps my blood I breath her love And if all of that is not enough She makes my dreams all they can be And makes my life more than my dreams Ever since I've known her from the start She's become the best part of my heart I've never had in my possession a wealth of gold My wealth untold, is holding her If passion and desire can ignite a flame Then in her name, I will burn If I made a list of what I need to live The list I'd give, would just list her Her hearts pumps my blood I breath her love And if all of that is not enough She makes my dreams all they can be And makes my life more than my dreams Ever since I've known her from the start She's become the best part of my heart Her hearts pumps my blood I breath her love And if all of that is not enough She makes my dreams all they can be And makes my life more than my dreams Ever since I've known her from the start She's become the best part of my heart Long before she ever said she'd be my wife She became the best part of my life --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

Many years ago I wrote a poem to my wife under the same title, and now I've expanded on it and turned it into a song. My favorite song... is always the next one. MY FAVORITE DAY by Joe Herbert Maybe on Monday you'll have a bad day Lose your patience and take it out on me Maybe on Tuesday you'll go out of your mind And say some things you really don't mean Maybe on Wednesday the stress will be high Frustration will win, when kindness is beat Maybe on Thursday you'll need the right words But the tone of my voice is not what you need Yesterday, today, all day, any day, every day It's simple enough In this way, that way, in every way Those are the days you have my undying love When asked what is my favorite day I just got to say, I hope you hear me The question is simple, and the answer is easy My favorite day with you, is always the next one Maybe on Friday you'll find a new problem With something that isn't a problem for me Maybe on Saturday you'll feel all alone When we're not together you become incomplete Maybe on Sunday you'll find something new But I'm less enthused then you seem to be You know me You know me Yesterday, today, all day, any day, every day It's simple enough In this way, that way, in every way Those are the days you have my undying love When asked what is my favorite day I just got to say, I hope you hear me The question is simple, and the answer is easy My favorite day with you, is always the next one If asked again, I will answer again my love My favorite day with you, is always the next one It's always the next one The next one with you And that's just about all I need to say About my favorite day, with you My favorite day, is always the next one With you --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

I wanted to write a song to all my patriots out there who bleed red, white, and blue. This song's for you. It is inspired by the history of the Star Spangled Banner and everyone who stands for our great national anthem. LAND OF THE FREE by Joe Herbert We honor those who fought for the American dream Freedom isn't free, as we know too well Dreams get scattered like leaves in the breeze With every wrinkle, there's a story to tell We look for peace when someone ceases to breath Like the twinkle of a star that has fell Dangerous freedom beats peaceful slavery So let's keep ringing that liberty bell Faded and worn, tattered and torn Those lost, we mourn, as freedom is born Under starlit skies, with unwavering minds Our courage will rise, like the flag that defies Through battles and cries, the trials we face Our spirit survives in this sacred place With colors held high, and voices so true We honor the past in red, white, and blue Bombarded all night, into the dawn's early light We stood steadfast, and never gave up the fight It was September 14, in the year 1814 In Baltimore, Maryland, in the early morning When an amateur poet named Francis Scott Key Wrote about the home of the brave and the land of the free We hold onto the all the memories we can snag For their like footprints in the shifting sands We hope that those who follow us pick up the flag Time has a way of slippin' through our hands Stop what you're doin', let's all of us stand It's our national anthem, sing along with me Take off your hat, cover your heart with your hand Let's honor those heroes that made us all free Faded and worn, tattered and torn Those lost, we mourn, as freedom is born Under starlit skies, with unwavering minds Our courage will rise, like the flag that defies Through battles and cries, the trials we face Our spirit survives in this sacred place With colors held high, and voices so true We honor the past in red, white, and blue Bombarded all night, into the dawn's early light We stood steadfast, and never gave up the fight It was September 14, in the year 1814 In Baltimore, Maryland, in the early morning When an amateur poet named Francis Scott Key Wrote about the home of the brave and the land of the free --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.
