I love to see your smile Won't you stay with me a while And we can walk together into another day For once, for this time Won't you tow the other line Ignore my insecurities and throw your cares away You need me And I need you Now, in this time and in this place I can feel your spirit Move, like a rhyme and not a race Lifting me up out of these Blues I've been living with for far too long I'm not that strong, no You're everything to me You can be my lifeline (Won't you throw me a lifeline) The ship's out of port And the storm that came before Has left a wave of uncertainty in its place You don't like being the one Constantly undone But to try and keep the peace is more than you can take So just let go I'll be there Now, in this time and in this place I can feel your spirit Move, like a rhyme and not a race Lifting you up out of these Blues you've been living with for far too long You're not that strong, no You everything to me I can be your lifeline Now, in this time and in this place I can feel your spirit move..... Now, in this time and in this place We can feel our spirits Move, like a rhyme and not a race Lifting us up out of these Blues we've been living with for far too long We can be strong, oh If you stay here with me If you can be my lifeline I will be your lifeline If you can be my lifeline I will be your lifeline

Wake me early Tuck me in at night In this dusty bedroom Beside the porch light No room for answers Lost is all i found Grace how sweet your sound Church was held on sunday We slept in till noon Prayin Jesus forgive us Over the mornin news It was never perfect But with you I didn’t mind Just look at me one more time Wrap a string around my ankle Let it fray But name in the letters Couldn’t make you stay The water froze my fingers You felt it in your bones And grace will lead me home Winter came early Stayed way past spring And in the early morning I can hear you sing It was never perfect But with you I didn’t mind Just look at me Just look at me Just look at me one more time Amazing grace How sweet your sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now i may be found I was blind but now Was blind but now Now I see Winter came early Stayed past spring And in the early morning I can hear you sing

Si me detengo un momento, Puedo escuchar las aves cantar. Si me detengo un momento, Puedo apreciar tu creación. Y es que tu estas en mi. Puedo sentir tu amor. Puedo cantar una nueva canción de amor, una canción de paz. Ayúdame a ver con tus ojos Y poner a un lado mi orgullo, Derrumbar todas las barreras Verte dentro y fuera de mi. Déjame ver mas allá Restaurar y perdonar Cantar una nueva canción de amor, una canción de paz We are one together No more pain or sorrow I hear echoes of a new song of love I hear echoes of a new song of hope, a new song of love Cantar una nueva canción de amor, una canción de paz

It aint easy livin' this life Who are you Who am I Who gets to laugh and Who get to cry What do you do and what do I see Are you the same person that I thought you to be What do you see and who am I Does anybody ever truly realize who you are It aint easy livin' this life Who are you Who am I The grass is always greener on the other side I'm doing what you want me to You're doing what I want you to But if we stepped into these shoes Is that the things we really do We all got a problem that we're trying to solve and we've all got something that makes us feel better than anything It aint easy livin' this life Look to the stars would you people How do you feel and what's your ideal Are you making your meals Are you paying your bills Can you balance your life With your work and your life Nothing makes you feel right and you've still got no time It's hard to feel good Your making everyone mad You wonder how this could happen You're doing the best you can I know how you feel But maybe in a different way Cause we're all just the same Ya we're all just the same Cause we've all got a problem that we're trying to solve And we've all got something that makes us feel better than anything It aint easy livin' this life Look to the stars would you

Well I hope I see you later Because it’s time for me to go That’s my ride that just pulled over It sure was good to know you Now go answer your calling Go and fill somebody’s cup And if you see an angel falling Won’t you stop and help them up Because we are each other’s angels And we meet when it is time We keep each other going And we show each other signs Sometimes you will stumble Sometimes you’ll just lie down Sometimes you will get lonely With all these people around You might shiver when the wind blows And you might get blown away You might lose a little color But don’t you ever lose your faith Thank you for the water I thought I was gonna die out here in the desert but you quenched my thirst Let’s break a little bread together I’ve got a little manna, It was a gift From somebody who was passing by And offered me a lift Now go answer your calling Go and fill somebody’s cup And if you see an angel falling Won’t you stop and help them up

Your love’s like a river that once flowed so deep It rests in heart now, forever to keep We’ll always cherish your wonderful smile As life goes on along now mile after mile Our dreams that we had will always be near The songs that we sang will always ring clear Our still nights together and our long sunny days Will be with us always, and always will stay (in our hearts) Our cherished children are blessed with your light And the others that you’ve touched, to help make their way bright Yes you loved them all, and you loved just we three And now and forever a family we’ll be Now the sounds of the raindrops they echo your name And the soft fading sunset brings evenings refrain And as nights long shadows takes us away The light from your our heart will show us the way Yes you loved them all, and you loved just we three And now and forever a family we’ll be

It's not fair And it's not clear There a thousand things I wish I’d said When you were near I can scream And I can fight I can shake my fist at God above But that won't make me right Won't make me right And I know you're looking down And I know you hear me now So hear my prayer Give me guidance when I can't see Give me faith when I can't believe I know that's how you'd be if You were standing here with me Give me Love when my love grows weak Give me courage when life is bleak Lord I pray please help me be Like the angel you sent to me Through my words And through my deeds I will pass along the love you gave In your memory Your memory Give me guidance when I can't see Give me faith when I can't believe I know that's how you'd be if You were standing here with me Give me Love when my love grows weak Give me courage when life is bleak Lord I pray please help me be Like the angel you sent to me

about

This is a project designed to honor the life of one who knew how to love well-- Aimee Wallis Buchanan. Her hospitality, compassion, and care for all God’s people, especially those on the margins of society, were an inspiration to many. Her love of the arts and her passion for youth ministry made a lasting impact on generations of young people.

In gratitude for her life of service, a variety of musical artists have lent their voices and talents to create this album. Like Aimee’s life and friendships, the contributors of these tracks come from many backgrounds. Some are lifetime professional musicians. Some have never recorded before. Some are youth, while others are older. Some knew Aimee only a short time, while others were blessed to know her for much of their lives. But all of them, in some form or another, were impacted by her life and felt a calling to give something back in gratitude.

There are a wide variety of musical styles included in the album-- from rock to folk, blues and ballads, and symphonic music as well. This only makes sense, because Aimee’s interests were wide and she was a welcoming presence for many different kinds of people, with diverse styles and ways of being in the world.

The album is offered up to support Asheville Youth Mission, a non-profit ministry that she and her husband Bill created several years ago. AYM brings hundreds of teenagers every year from across the country to serve in a variety of ministry and service agencies in the Asheville, NC area. AYM continues today as part of Aimee’s legacy, and through the ongoing support of the broader community, it will keep doing so for many years to come.

We hope you enjoy the album and that it inspires you to keep loving life and loving each other, in honor of a life well loved.
