Verse:
Don't know how you did it to me, I'll never figure it out.
The whole thing is a mystery, You lit me up and now.

Heart on fire that's burnin' hot for you
Heart on fire, There's nothing I can do
Heart on fire, A fire that you ignite
Heart on fire every single day and night
Verse:
I'm walkin' round and I can believe
What did you do to this girl
What kind of secret potion recipe
Exploded every part of my world

Arrows with flames, Shoot me down helplessly
I'm feeling the blazes of love
Chorus:
Heart on fire thats burnin' hot for you
Heart on fire, There's nothing I can do

Chorus:
Away from home soldiers
America's proud of you
Leaving your friends and your family
And all you have there are memories to hang on to
Away from home soldiers, America's proud of you
So far away may God bless, givin' yourselves and doin' your best
for your fellow man and for your country land
America, America's proud of you
Verse:
It's not easy for a woman, for a man
To go off to places where they've never been
Strength in mind and a body that is strong
It take to win this war that has begun

" I Could Use a Quiet Day"
Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce

Verse:
Sittin' alone by the rivers edge
All alone, nothin's said
Here I'll find serenity
Right now that's all I need
Hot sun warms a summer breeze
Takin' me away from me
Heal my soul, Natures way
And I could use a quiet day
Chorus:
And I'll listen to that rivers peacefull waters flow
And I'll follow right behind it where ever it might go
Leavin' all my troubles fast and far behind
Let them roll around the bend, out of sight and out of mind
And I could use a qiiet day
Verse:
Lately, I've been pushing me hard
To get ahead, Reaching to far
Sleepless nights, Long time days
I just got to get away
Lay this tired ol' body down on some good ol' country ground
Heal my soul, Natures way
And I could use a quiet day
Repeat chorus:

Verse:
Thers's a fire burnin' in me and I don't know how to put the fire out.
When you hold me close to kiss me, I just know I won't be strong enough to run
Your out of control and my heart it still holds a fiery blaze
And you've thrown alot of water, But my heart it has'nt smoldered, there's still flames
A burnin' flame
Will I ever see the day when I'll escape this way of loving you to much
And it seems no matter what you do
If it's bad, it just ain't bad enough
Your out of control and my heart it still holds a fiery blaze
And you'ver thrown alot of water, but my heart it has'nt smoldered. there's still flames,
A burnin' flame

"HEART OF YOURS THAT STOLE MINE"
Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce
Copyright 2003
Verse:
The years the days go passing by
And you can't help but wonder why your livin' for
Inside your full of emptiness and eveything seems meaningless
You don't care no more
Then suddenly, someone comes along one day
And turns you on to feelings you never thought you ever had to give away
Now you live again
Chorus:
Oh-Heart, Heart of yours of yours, that stole mine
Caught by a look from your blue eyes
And I saw in you a love deep and true
Oh -Heart , Heart of yours that stole mine
Then gave me back my life
Verse:
Doin' anything to get, a little bit of happiness
You tried it all
Wrong or right, it did'nt matter
Still it did'nt get no better
You were lost
Then suddenly someone comes along one day
And turns you on to feelings you thought you never had to give away
And now you live again
Repeat chorus:
I wrote this song for Valentines day for my husband, Phil

" IN THEIR MEMORY" (911 dedication)
Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce
Copyright 2003
Verse:
In a distance today I heard the church bells ringing
And it brought back alot of feelings inside of me
I remembered that day in September, when alot of people
died unnecessarily
I've never been to the site of the tragedy
And not one person there I've ever known
But when I remembered that day in September
My heart felt the words to write this song
Chorus:
In their memory
Keep them in our memories
And all the lives sacrificed
In their memory, Keep them in our memories
For they were choose to die without a choice
Verse:
It was an early, it was a sunny Tuesday morning
Folks in flight already flying friendly skies
Men on board who call themselves believers
For their faith took each and every life
Now I've heard about the bravery in New York City
And how lives were saved from ashes and debri
And I know that day in September, will always be a part of history
Repeat Chorus:
Christmas in Michigan, is a beautiful winter wonderland.
During the holidays the colored lights of decorated homes reflect
off the land full of white, puffy snow.
That's what gave me the inspiration for this song.
"I love it at Christmas Time"
written by: Helen DeBaker-Vorce copyright 2003
Verse:
I love it at christmas time
I love the white and drifting snow,
Where ever I go, And I love you
I love it at Christmas time
I love the faces all aglow, and friends that I know
all come around
Chorus:
I love it at Christmas time
I love it at Christmas time
The bright christmas lights, Blue, red and
green.
Decorate the cities and the countrysides
It's like a beautiful dream
Verse:
I love it at christmas time
I love the carols that there singing
And all the joy that it's bringing
all around the world
I love it at christmas time
I love the gift of giving to every boy and girl
I milked cows for 20 years on our dairy farm.
The years of hard work during those hard early years of my life is what gave me the inspiration to write this song.

God Bless them and all farmers for their hard work!
"Farmer Wife's Prayer"
Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce
copyright 1990
Seems we just go to sleep and off goes the alarm
And it's time to get dressed and milk all those cows in the barm
It's early everyday and late every night
Somehow we keep holdin' on
And it's never easy here on the farm
Chorus: Kids almost grown and I'm feelin' old
I thought better would come
His face tired from worry and he's always in a hurry
to get what he's got to do done
If I had just one wish, I'd wish God hears my prayers
And he helps all those folks that make there livin' off the land
And I'm hopein' one day, hands fold in grace and give thanks for all
the hard work that's done.
Cause it'd never easy, Here on the farm
