Copyright 2011

Written by: Helen DeBaker(DeBacker)Vorce

 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.

Chorus:

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

Refrain:

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

Heart on fire, A fire that you ignite

Heart on fire every single day and night

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

Verse:

Soldiers on Land, Ships and Planes

May never see their homeland again

Going where the bombs and bullets fly

There's a chance one will take their life

Verse:

He said Honey, Please come back

I know I was wrong for all the things I said

You know we gotta stick together

So much going on, Think about the kids

But I know, I know what your gonna do

Chorus:

You build me up, To put me down

Take my world, Turn it around

Break my heart, I fall apart

Say your sorry, Another story

When you say, Come on stay

But I know, How it goes

No use tryin', Your just lyin"

It won't end and your gonna hurt me again

_____________________

Verse:

And I said, Wish I could forget

Bring on all those feelings back when we first met

Lately, I've been changin', Tired of hangin' on

to a love thats always gone

But, I know, Iknow what your gonna do

                                      " I Could Use a Quiet Day"

Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce

Copyright 2003

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:

                                     "Burning Flame"

Written by: Helen DeBacker(DeBaker) Vorce

Copyright 2003

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:

Have all been swept away

Like the brightness of my day

Counting minutes to see you again

Just remember who love you

The day will come when you'll regret

My love for you I won't forget

                                        " 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:

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

            I love it at Christmas time

            I love it at Christmas time

I love the carols that there singing

And all the joy that it's bringing

I love the gift of giving to every boy and girl

 "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
