Goodbye To Love

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

I’ll say goodbye to love

No one ever cared if I should live or die

Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by

And all I know of love is how to live without it

I just can’t seem to find it

So I’ve made my mind up

I must live my life alone

And though it’s not the easy way

I...

It’s Going To Take Some Time

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

It’s going to take some time this time

To get myself in shape

I really fell out-of line this time

I really missed the gate

The birds on the telephone line (next time)

Are cryin’ out to me (next time)

And I won’t be so blind next time

And I’ll find some harmony

But it’s going to...

Lovelines

Monday, May 9th, 2011

Darlin’ you’ve got me fallin’

‘Cause you’re the only one whoever does it light

Every night I’m dreamin’ about the feelin’

You know I can’t explain what’s goin’ down

My head keeps spinnin’ round

(*) You are my lovelines and that’s allright with me

Just...

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all gracious king

The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl

And...

Winter Wonderland

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Sleigh bells ring

Are you listening

In the lane

Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We’re happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird

Here to stay is a new bird

He songs a love song

As we go along

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we...

Top of the World

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Such a feelin’s coming over me
There is wonder in most ev’ry thing I see,
Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes,
And I — won’t be surprised if it’s a dream.

Ev’rything I want the world to be,
Is now coming true especially for me,
And the reason is clear – It’s because you are...

Baby It’s You

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

It’s not the way you smile

That touches my heart

It’s not the way you kiss

That tears me apart

Many, many nights go by

I sit alone

At home I cry

Over you

What can I do

Can’t help myself

‘Cause baby it’s you

You should hear what they say about you

They...

Desperado

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Desperado

Why don’t you come to your senses

You been out ridin’ fences

For so long now

Oh, you’re a hard one

But I know that you’ve got your reasons

These things that are pleasin’ you

Can hurt you somehow

Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She’ll beat...
