Sweet Beginnings
04:56
|
|||
|
Foggy early mornings
Black coffee steaming hot
The richness of your kisses
Lingering on that spot
Long slow sunlight
Making its way in
Turning 'round to see you
The soft glow of your skin
Dewey lovely mornings
It always feels just right
When your sleepy eyes meet mine
Serendipity it just might
It might be the way
The way your hand feels
When you caress me in the night
Foggy early mornings
My soul, with you, excites
Midday comes
and I’m alone
The fire simmers down
But then I know it won’t be long
Til you will be around (change lyrics? ‘Til you’re around)
Dewey lovely mornings
It always feels just right
When your sleepy eyes meet mine
Serendipity it just might
It might be the way
The way your hand feels
When you caress me in the night
Foggy early mornings
My soul, with you, excites
Sweet beginnings make me smile
Where before I had sighed
Endless wondering and waiting
To be by your side
Endless wondering and waiting
To be by your side

White Lines & Headlights
03:40
|
|||
|
Windmills flash like fireflies
Keeping watch on this late night drive
The world living peacefully in disguise
Can’t seem to know what I’ve left behind
200 miles from the bed
Where I lay my restless head
A weary rambler fighting for a chance
To see herself once again
It seems to be a mystery
It seems to be a dream
But I hope my eyes never come to
And show this cannot be
Show that this could never be a dream come true
Only white lines and headlights know the truth
200 miles from the bed
Where I lay my restless head
A weary rambler fighting for a chance
To see herself once again
It seems to be a mystery
It seems to be a dream
But I hope my eyes never come to
And show this cannot be
Show that this could never be a dream come true
Only white lines and headlights know the truth
Windmills flash like fireflies
Keeping watch on this late night drive
The world living peacefully in disguise
Can’t seem to know what I’ve left behind

Footprints
03:44
|
|||
|
Hiding place in a faraway town
Threading words to find a way to say
How I truly feel
To know what’s real
But a dream, for a wallflower
To stay a little longer
To love a little harder
To be - oh, to be, closer to you
Sing me a lullaby
Feed the fire until the gentle rain pours in
Footprints leading to the sky
I’ll leave a string for you to climb up too
A girl can dream
A boy can too
Darker days in this wintertide
Staring at the brightly shining moon
Looking for a sign
Hoping that I’ll find
That dream, for a wallflower
Where we’ll stay a little longer
We’ll love a little harder
I’d be - oh, I’d be, closer to you
Sing me a lullaby
Feed the fire until the gentle rain pours in
Footprints leading to the sky
I’ll leave a string for you to climb up too
A girl can dream
A boy can too

Follow That Feelin'
03:13
|
|||
|
What are you thinking about at night
Staring at the ceiling?
Are you waiting until the moments right
To go on and follow that feelin’?
Do you wonder how the world would be
If they saw you, and they saw me?
Are you waiting until the moments right
To go on and follow that feelin’?
As you watch the autumn leaves
Do you dream of spring?
Or do you think of our sweet November
And the love that it brings?
Do you wonder how the world would be
If they saw you, and they saw me?
Are you waiting until the moments right
To go on and follow that feelin’?
To go on and follow that feelin’?
Mm...

Silver Creek Soliloquy
03:16
|
|||
|
It seems not long ago
We watched our summer light show
But days have turned to months and years
And fireflies don’t come near
Now yesterdays flower
Is too wilted to wear
So I’ll go find that Missouri field
Where the flowers found my hair
And sing the silver creek soliloquy
And sing the silver creek soliloquy
My eyes were drier than his
The day we said goodbye
Corn husks flying through the air
And blackbirds sitting high
Up on the maple trees
Full of auburn leaves
And as each leaf fell to the ground
It left us bare to see
We sang the silver creek soliloquy
We sang the silver creek soliloquy
We sang the silver creek soliloquy
We sang the silver creek soliloquy

Eight Days
04:02
|
|||
|
It’s been a long, long weekend
A weekend for 8 days so it seems
Without a trace, a smell, a taste
Of what was meant to be
Mm...
It’s been a cold, cold winter
A winter that just won’t seem to ease
Without those arms to keep me warm
Or those eyes holdin’ me
Bring me the days of you
Bring me the days when all was new
And try to find that sparkle, that shine
Oh, bring me the days of you
Mm...
It’s been a blue, blue summer
A summer full of memories
I’ll always know the eyes, the nose
Of what could never be
Mm...
Bring me the days of you
Bring me the days when all was new
And try to find that sparkle, that shine
Oh, bring me the days of you
Mm...

Summer Moon
05:02
|

|
I love you more than you could know
No words for you could ever show
No nightingales could sing a tune
As beautiful or sweet as you
Oh, in the summer moon
Oo, In the summer moon
The way you’ve changed me too
To love a way I never knew
To hold onto each memory
To paint the beauty in everything
Oh, in our summer moon
Oo, in our summer moon
Whoa...
Mm...
I love you more than you could know
No words for you could ever show
No nightingales could sing a tune
As beautiful or sweet as you
Oh, In the summer moon
Oh, In the summer moon
Mm...

Secret
03:34
|
|||
|
I thought I was keeping it a secret
But the secret was keeping me
Been six feet under the pavement
With only darkness to see
I found a bush full of thorns
And one rose hiding beneath
But now I know it’s there
And the secret’s keeping me
Oh it’s so hard to watch it grow
And not be able to show the secret keeping me
I thought there was no point in wishing
On each starry night
Each day started the same
And end with a sigh
But now I kiss the sunshine
And hum with the bees
I’ve found my blooming rose
The secret keeping me
Oh it’s so hard to watch it grow
And not be able to show the secret keeping me
Whoa...
I thought I was keeping it a secret
But the secret was keeping me
Been six feet under the pavement
With only darkness to see
Oh it’s so hard to watch it grow
And not be able to show the secret keeping me

Midwest Country Waltz
02:58
|
|||
|
The way you touch me opens the way
To every spark and every flame
One look in your eyes and I know it’s true
All I need is the moon and you
Mm...
Lines may cross between me and you
But all along the way we’ll do
The Midwest country waltz, my love
With the moon and stars above
The whippoorwill and the morning dove
Can sing this song about our love
The Midwest country waltz, they sing
With the moon and stars above
Mm...

The Only
02:57
|
|||
|
You caught me staring at you again
Into your twinkling eyes
Holding onto every word
Holding onto your light
You can’t dim that shine, babe
It’s brighter every day
With every shade of fall
I promise I’ll always say
I love the way you love
I love the way you speak
The way you wrap your love around me
I hope you’ll always feel
I hope you’ll always see
You are the one, the only
Can’t help but shed a tear
Thinking ‘bout each day
I don’t get to greet
Your heavenly face
But when the rain starts pouring down
I’ll find a way back to the town
Where our hearts began to sing as one
I love the way you love
I love the way you speak
The way you wrap your love around me
I hope you’ll always feel
I hope you’ll always see
You are the one, the only
You are the one, the only

Troublesome Creek

Finding trouble in troublesome creek
Finding trouble in troublesome creek
Nowhere else to go, no other street
I'm finding trouble in troublesome creek
Clearing paths through corn and wheat
Clearing paths through corn and wheat
You won’t be waiting, won’t hold my breath
‘Cause I’m finding trouble in troublesome creek
Oo...
I heard you singing a new song
I heard you singing a new song
You won’t be waiting - won’t hold my breath
Finding trouble in troublesome creek
Oo...

Love of Mine
03:32
|

Can you see the flame growin'
Keeping me warm as I’m finding a way to the road I missed
Never knowin' that those stars in the sky
Would decide to realign and make that love of mine, oh love of mine
Oo you’ve done me in
Oo I could never fall again
Now that your eyes are those stars in the sky
And your kiss lights the sun and the moon in the day and night
Oh love of mine
Can you see the flame growin'
Keeping me warm as I’m finding a way to the road I missed
Never knowin' that those stars in the sky
Would decide to realign and make that love of mine, oh love of mine
Oo you’ve done me in
Oo I could never fall again
Now that your eyes are those stars in the sky
And your kiss lights the sun and the moon in the day and night
Oh love of mine
Oo love of mine

Teeter Totter

Is it wrong or is it right?
This constantly changing mind
Should I peek? Should I look?
Will it matter what’s at the end of the book?
Will I ever be at ease?
Will I ever find the piece that I wonder if I need?
Making promises I can’t keep
Should I look? Should I peek?
Is it clear? Is it free?
A wide open road to a dream
Will I fly? Will I fall?
Maybe both can happen after all
Will I ever be at ease?
Will I ever find the piece that I wonder if I need?
Making promises I can’t keep
Should I look? Should I peek?
It seems to me
You’re a part of me
I was meant to meet
Should I look? Should I peek?
Will I ever be at ease?
Will I ever find the piece that I wonder if I need?
Making promises I can’t keep
Should I look? Should I peek?

Farewell
04:36
|

|
Will I feel it comin’ ‘round the bend?
Like a gust from the west as a storm rolls in?
Have I really done my best?
Will regret hurt worse than the rest?
Tell me won’t you please?
It’s hard not knowin'
Put me at ease
Do you think it’ll hurt?
Do you think we’ll see - everything we hoped for
Everything we’ve dreamed
And there’s no more doubt
No more wondering if today’s the day we say farewell to everything
Will I feel it comin’ ‘round the bend?
Like a gust from the west as a storm rolls in?
Have I really done my best?
Will regret hurt worse than the rest?
Tell me won’t you please?
It’s hard not knowing
Put me at ease
Do you think it’ll hurt?
Do you think we’ll see - everything we hoped for
Everything we’ve dreamed
And there’s no more doubt
No more wondering if today’s the day we say
Farewell to everything
Tell me won’t you please?
It’s hard not knowin'
Put me at ease
