After dinner they all sat around the living room. The tv blared some old movie, Maggie sat reading a book, Jessica and Reese played chess, Charity was braiding Theresa`s long black hair, Noah and John were talking about hockey, and Fox was strumming on a old guaiter.
"Do you know how to play?" Charity asked.
"I little bit. My roomate and boarding school was great! he taught me a song or two".
"Could you play one?" Theresa asked.
"I`m a little rusty" Fox sighed.
"For me?" Charity smiled.
"Anything for you" Fox smiled.
Charity blushed, and went back to Theresa`s hair. Fox started to play and Charity knew right away what song it was.
"It's amazing how you can speak
right to my heart
Without saying a word, you light
up the dark.
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say
a thing
The smile on your face lets me
know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes,
saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand, says you'll
catch me wherever ever I fall.
Now, you say it best when you
say nothing at all." Fox sang his voice deep and beatiful.
He stalled when it camw time for the next set of words, but Charity opened her mouth and the words came rushing back to her from when her mother sand it to her as a little girl. It was her parents wedding song! (Say it was a really old song!")
"All day long I can hear people
talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you
drown out the crowd.
Try as the may, they could never
define,
What's being said between your
heart and mine.
The smile on your face lets me
know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes,
saying you'll never leave me.
A touch of your hand, says you'll
catch me if ever I fall.
Yeah, you say it best when you
say nothing at all.........."
"That was beatiful you guys" Theresa sighed when it as ovre "Charity i never knew you had such a great voice!".
"Nither didi i!" Jessica exclaimed "You should have sang for us before!".
Charity blushed "I`m not that good, you guys".
"Yes, you are" Fox said softly "You are a beatiful singer Charity".
"You can`t say much, Fox your voice is amazing".
"I mus agree with her there" Maggie spoke up "You both havean amazing talent".
"Thanks" They both said.
"Can you sing another song?" Noah asked "Please Charity".
"I don`t know....." Charity sighed.
"I do, and you going to" Theresa laughed "Now!".
"What othre song can you play?" Jessica asked Fox.
"Um i think it`s called......actually i don`t even remember the name of it" Fox laughed 'Sorry guys".
"That`s fine" Jessica stated "But Charity you have to sing something else with or without music".
"Wow guys i don`t know" Charity said agian.
"I played and sang and now it`s your turn"
"Fine" Charity smiled "okay here goes...".
"There is a song thats inside
of my soul,
It's the one that I've tried
to write
Over and over again...
I'm awake in the infinite hope,
But you sing to me
Over and over and over again
(Chorus)
So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours,
I pray to be only yours...
I know now your my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing,
And laughing and laughing again...
When it feels like my dreams
are so far,
Sing to me of the plans that
you have for me,
over and over again
(Chorus)
So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours,
I pray to be only yours...
I know now your my only hope
I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony,
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs,
I'm giving it all
So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours,
I pray to be only yours...
I pray to be only yours...
I know now your my only hope".
"Wow!" Fox exclaimed when she was finshed "Charity your amazing"
"Thanks" she whispered looking down.
"You have some real talent" Theresa smiled "Did you ever think of becoming a real singer?"
"No! No way!" Charity exclaimed "Never!".
"Why?" Theresa asked taken back.
"Never" she whispered closing her eyes "Sorry to snap Theresa but i can never be a singer".
"Charity are you okay?" Fox asked.
Tears came to Charity`s eyes "I`m sorry". She ran up the stairs, Fox following after her.
