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!

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?

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.

My wife is big into organization, and even has a website for it at organizingsuperhero.com so I wanted to draw on that and other characteristics unique to her (such as her love of television show mysteries) in this song and mix it with a juxtaposition of crazy things. BE YOU by Joe Herbert You're organized chaos in a de-cluttered mess But even at your worst, you're still the best You're a bright shining star on dark sunny night Even when you are wrong about not being right You could have breakfast for dinner in the afternoon Have soup with a fork and steak with spoon It really doesn't matter to me what you do Be you Be you I will always never stop loving you That's just me being me so you be you If you'll always never stop loving me too We'll find our way no matter what we do Together you and I will always be a we Your day could be a horror, or a comedy Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery It really doesn't matter to me Be you Be you Like the cold hard truth in a work of fiction My love for you is not a contradiction You could be a quiet storm full of peaceful rage Be the queen of fools, or make a wise mistake But if I hear you singing a silent tune Under the midnight sun, I will sing along too It really doesn't matter to me what you do Be you I will always never stop loving you That's just me being me so you be you If you'll always never stop loving me too We'll find our way no matter what we do Together you and I will always be a we Your day could be a horror, or a comedy Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery It really doesn't matter to me Be you Be you You can wear you sweatshirts on the hottest of days It won't matter to me, that's just how I was raised If you're not wearing make-up and your hair isn't made up And you just want to sleep while I want to stay up I won't mind if that's what you want to do Cause life's too short, and or days too few So it really doesn't matter to me what you do Be you I will always never stop loving you That's just me being me so you be you If you'll always never stop loving me too We'll find our way no matter what we do Together you and I will always be a we Your day could be a horror, or a comedy Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery It really doesn't matter to me You're organized chaos in a de-cluttered mess But even at your worst, you're still the best Together you and I will always be a we Your day could be a horror, or a comedy Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery Yes, it really doesn't matter to me Be you Be you It definitely doesn't matter to me Be you Be you Be you It'll always never stop mattering to me Be you Be you Be you --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

For this song I really want to do something different and write a song from my wife's perspective and sung by a female singer. The inspiration comes from the crazy dreams she has. One in particular I like to tell is the time I was driving and she fell asleep in the passenger seat. She was buckled in, and I had the heat blowing on our feet. She started to speak in her dreams announcing that she was being tied up by Indians and they were burning her feet. Yes. That happened. REAL MAN by Joe Herbert I'm thankful for all of my crazy dreams That luckily, bless me, never came to be Like the time the Indians had captured me Then tied me up and tried to burn my feet Once I rode a dragon who chased a flying car Driven by a cowboy with a tie-dyed guitar And one night a knight came riding at me fast On a fiery steed holding a jousting lance Now when I lay me down to sleep I pray my lord my soul to keep And pray nobody ever judges me For all of my wild and my crazy dreams I have you, and I'm relieved That you're not the man of my dreams You're so much more I'm thankful for the real world And I'm glad to have a real man A real man The other night I had another crazy dream Sasquatch was lickin' on my chocolate ice cream While Cinderella sang a sad country song And I just watched like there was nothing wrong Heaven help us if my dreams come true Cause if they did we'd all be screwed! I once dreamed I was being eaten by a big ole bat Nobody's ever heard me scream like that I could have had a heart attack Now when I lay me down to sleep I pray my lord my soul to keep And pray nobody ever judges me For all of my wild and my crazy dreams I have you, and I'm relieved That you're not the man of my dreams You're so much more I'm thankful for the real world And I'm glad to have a real man A real man I once helped a goldfish climb the tallest tree In a tangerine forest, down a peppermint stream Einstein and Twain just sat there lookin' at me That's odd, indeed! Saw an astronaut get married to a pirate ghost We were on a ship captained by a phantom host And the thing that I remember the most I gave the toast! Now when I lay me down to sleep I pray my lord my soul to keep And pray nobody ever judges me For all of my wild and my crazy dreams I have you, and I'm relieved That you're not the man of my dreams You're so much more I'm thankful for the real world And I'm glad to have a real man To have a real man To have a real man To have a real man In a Facebook world with posers and fakers Completely surrounded by jokers and takers I'm thankful for the real world And I'm glad to have a real man Yes, I am, so glad to have a real man Now when I lay me down to sleep I pray my lord my soul to keep And pray nobody ever judges me For all of my wild and my crazy dreams I have you, and I'm relieved That you're not the man of my dreams You're so much more I'm thankful for the real world And I'm glad to have a real man Yes, I have a real man Yes, I am, so glad to have a real man --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

My wife does so much for other people, so I wrote this song to let her know she is never alone, no matter hard her day may go. I WANT TO BE THERE FOR YOU by Joe Herbert There's a weight on your shoulders, it's a long hard road When you take on the burden, of a sizeable load So if you're running on empty, with miles to go You'll be glad to know, that you're never alone I'll be your second gear, when you need to get going And your second wind, no matter where the wind's blowing I'll be your rocket fuel, when your tanks runnin' dry And a second pair of hands, when your hands are tied I'll be the net to catch you, if you should fall And I'll build you a door, when you hit a wall Whatever you need in whatever you do I want to be there for you When the night feels endless, and you're lost in the dark When the flame flickers low, and you're missing the spark If the climb feels steeper, with each passing mile Lean on me, love, let me carry you a while I'll be your second gear, when you need to get going And your second wind, no matter where the wind's blowing I'll be your steady ground, when the world spins too fast And a compass to guide you, when you're lost on the path I'll hold the light to show you, when you can't see And walk beside you wherever you need to be Whatever you need in whatever you do I want to be there for you Every step's a battle, baby don't back down When the road gets rocky, I'll be your solid ground If you're burning low, I'll light a fire in your soul I'll keep your torch burnin', till you reach your goal Whatever you need in whatever you do I want to be there for you I'll be your second gear, when you need to get going And your second wind, no matter where the wind's blowing I'll be your steady ground, when the world spins too fast And a compass to guide you, when you're lost on the path I'll hold the light to show you, when you can't see And walk beside you wherever you need to be Whatever you need in whatever you do I want to be there...

For this song I wanted to write about a different theme that means a lot to me. This is pro-life song from the point of view of an unborn child. I hope you love it as much as I do. IN TIME by Joe Herbert By week five, I have begun to thrive My heart starts to beat, and feel so alive Growing here inside you safe and warm Waiting for the day when I am born By week eight, I have arms and legs To wrap them around you, would be so great My little hands continue to grow One day they'll hold you, never letting go Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night With your love around me, I will be all right Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine I'll see you In time By week ten, I continue to grow Ten little fingers and ten little toes Mama, I'm your miracle growing every day In this bond unbreakable, we'll find our way By week eighteen, you should be able to see A boy or a girl on an ultrasound machine My tiny feet are kickin', I'll be coming soon Little eyes are forming, so I can gaze at you Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night With your love around me, I will be all right Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine I'll see you In time By week twenty-nine, my eyes are open wide I can wait to see you when I come outside By week forty-one, I'm pretty much done Ready or not, mama, here I come! Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night With your love around me, I will be all right Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine I'll see you In time In time I'll be walkin', and following you In time I'll be talking', and swallowing food In time I'll be learnin', and going to school In time I'll be turnin' into an adult like you I hope to be a parent like you with a child of mine In time --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.

I cried while writing this song and I still tear up when I hear it. NO BOX CAN HOLD by Joe Herbert I was young But I can say I remember waking up on Christmas day Matchbox cars A ball and glove Action figures, and a laser gun Wrapping paper Everywhere My favorite gift was having all my family there What I've learned in life I want to share No box can hold The greatest gifts ever given in the world No jewels, no gold The special things no box could ever hold No bows, no card It's not something framed upon your wall Not the nicest flowers you ever saw The gifts that really matter to us all No box can hold There's a card For any day Somewhere next to rhyming words we sign our name We say thanks On Thanksgiving Upon returning from vacation, What'd you bring? I love you Marry me This box I give to you contains a diamond ring Look not at what it is, but what it means No box can hold The greatest gifts ever given in the world No jewels, no gold The special things no box could ever hold No bows, no card It's not something framed upon your wall Not the nicest flowers you ever saw The gifts that really matter to us all No box can hold Years go by People die It's not what we take with us, it's what we leave behind Even in a box beneath the ground, love will survive No box can hold The greatest gifts ever given in the world No jewels, no gold The special things no box could ever hold No bows, no card It's not something framed upon your wall Not the nicest flowers you ever saw The gifts that really matter to us all No box can hold Years go by People die It's not what we take with us, it's what we leave behind Even in a box beneath the ground, love will survive --- written and produced by Joe Herbert with the help of suno.com AI technology.
