Come And Get These Memories

Here's your old friendship ring. Can't wear it any more. Here's your old love letters. I can't read them any more. Lover you've gone from me. And left behind so many memories.

Living Ain't Easy

It's not pretty no. It ain't pretty at all. (it ain't pretty no, it ain't pretty no). I hear my mama say. Living ain't easy, no. Living ain't easy at all.

I'm Coming Home For Christmas

Snowman Angels Ribbon's bow's. Dreams of coco and missal tow. Seems like years since I've been home. Cant bare to spend another Christmas alone. Packed my bags I'm on my way.

Color Of Roses

I held you close to me. Once in a distant dream. Far from the shores of my fear. I sailed on the ocean where. All I imagined could happen. And now you are here.

Chapel Of Love/boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way.. He had a boogie style that no one else could play.. He was the top man at his craft,. but then his number came up and he was gone with the draft..

I Was Only (seventeen)

I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in. I was only waiting 'round for something to begin. I was only seventeen. I told you that it didn't mean a thing....

You Give Me Hope

I look at your smiling face,. You're so weak, yet you have such strength,. You take a glance around this place,. You make the best of everything. . You give me hope, in spite of everything,.

Chapel Of Love

Spring is here and the sky is so very blue. Birds all sing as if they knew. Today's the day we'll say, "I do". And we'll never be lonely anymore. . Because we're goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married.

He's A Tramp

He's a tramp but I love him. Breaks a new heart every day. He's a tramp and I adore him. And I only hope he stays that way. . He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel.

Falling Out Of Love With You

Swore I saw you in a crowd. Suddenly my heart began to pound. Emotions flowing up and down (are you feeling like a fool girl?). Really miss you so badly now (didn't want him when he wanted you).

Camellia

You Cry A Tear To Start A River

So stand close to me. Don't sail away, baby. Let them see your heart. Let 'em see just how beautiful you are. . So you head on down. To the bottom near the river.

Fallen Out Of Love

I swore I saw you in a crowd. Suddenly my heart began to pound. Emotions flowing up and down. (are you feeling like a fool, girl?). Really miss you so badly now.

Buckets Of Rain

Ohh oh, ohh oh, ah. Sing to me baby, baby. Buckets, nuggets of rain. . Nuggets of rain, nuggets of tears. Got all the nuggets comin' out of my ears. Nuggets of moonbeams in my hand.

Words

This night, this night just like the rest. These same thoughts running through my head. The same reckless phrase with a different face. They say, they say that I am worthless.

Emily

Emma loves Emily in her little own way. So alone in this world from their very first day.. With her hand on her belly. She rocks and she prays. as she hums a melody to her babe everyday.

Breaking Up Somebody's Home

Lying 'round home alone. On a rainy night like this. Starving for your love. Hungry for just one kiss. . Every raindrop I hear. Against my window pane.

White Lines & Red Lights

Late night, driving home together. And at red lights we press our lips together. And we're holding tight now slow it down now. Let's take our time. . Let the moment last.

Decisions

Don't just go from one nest to the next. Mama said to me. It's not where you go or where you left. It's the flying in-between. . She said be sure to touch the sky.

Boxing

Howard, the strangest things. Have happened lately. When I take a good swing. And all my dreams they pivot and slip. I drop my fists. And they're back, laughing.
