My Moon
I saw a shooting star last night
Through closed eyes
And my heart it skipped a beat
The clear blue moon it washed its light
like a high tide
over waters dark and deep
My soul has been on low tide
Won’t you be my moon?
My well used to run all over
I dropped my pail too soon
I saw a brilliant moon last night
through your eyes
and there’s starlight in your smile
Lying next to you feels right
in the sunrise
I’ve been waiting here a while
White whistlin’ winds blow by.
Steer clear of me
Why would my well run dry?
Your eyes sing so sweet.
White whistlin’ winds blow by.
Across that deep dark sea.
How can my well run dry?
Your eyes they sing so sweet.

I Will
Through problems, through pain
love will remain
It will never go
It will always show
Through windows, through glass
these problems they will pass
I will always stay
I’ll never go away
And baby I need you now
so baby won’t you stay?
I will always love you
I will
It may flame it may flicker
But always it will burn
I will always love you
And I’ll never turn away
And baby I need you now
so baby won’t you stay?
I will always love you
I will
I will prop you up when you fall
I will stand by your side
Baby I need you in my life

Mississippi Moonlight
Green grass and clover
The sparkle in you eyes
Deep in conversation
But you have to wonder why
Mississippi Moonlight shine on me
Shine on me tonight
Mississippi Moonlight where will I be
Where will I be tonight?
I tell you that I love you
You say you love me too
Each night I’m driving
To get back home to you
Mississippi Moonlight shine on me
Shine on me tonight
Mississippi Moonlight where will I be
Where will I be tonight?
Mississippi Moonlight shine on me
Shine on me tonight
Mississippi Moonlight shine on me
Shine on me tonight

The Sun is Always Shining
When I woke up this morning, the sun was on my face, a smile upon my lips
The tears in my eyes were from the night before when losing you first hit
The sun is always shining; above a clouded sky
And every day gets better; with every tear in your eye
You say that we’re too close. You say you can’t breath. So you run away
Every day that you’re in hiding You can’t believe that you’ve lived that way
The sun is always shining; above a clouded sky
And every day gets better; with every tear in your eye
Moving on is the hardest part. A look from you tears me apart
All I ever wanted was happiness. That was asking for too much I guess
I hope you know what you’re doing; I hope you sleep at night
I’m doing better; I’ll see you in my dreams tonight
When I woke up this morning, The sun was on my face A smile upon my lips

The Island
It’s been too long
I’ve fought too hard
Where were you then?
Who was I back when? (Without you)
The river calls my name
The island stays the same
and baby, there’s you
I’ll never forget
This feeling inside
You’ve made me smile
You’ve made me cry
As the waters hit the shore
and the clouds they don’t appear any more
because they know, they know to stay away
The fire reaches the sky
and a tear falls from your eye
because you know you can not stay away
When you touch me I’m warm
When you speak with me I’m home
We may go our separate ways
But at least I’ll have today (with you)
The river calls my name
The island stays the same
and baby, there’s you

This
Feet sway on the front swing,
watching them chase down fireflies
Then you pull me closer, and in your arms I realize
That it doesn’t, no it doesn’t, get any better than this
You love me so sweetly it’s over my head
I try to return it but I end up hurting you instead
It doesn’t, no it doesn’t, get any better than this
I will try harder to show you how I feel
Things will get better I know this is for real
It doesn’t, no it doesn’t, get any better than this

Caress Me Baby (Jimmy Reed)
Caress me baby
Like the wind caress the trees
I want to love love you baby
Like a soft summer breeze
Down by the river
on a real moonlighted night
I want to love, love you baby
And make everything all right

Coming Home to You
You see I’m riding down this plateau
and babe, you never know
How high the mountains are,
until you’ve been to the depths of the valley
From my belly shoots a flame
From my head comes a burning pain
And I can not see the trees through the forest.
When the rain comes, you know I’ll be there
When the clouds roll in, there’s no need to be scared
When my head clears, and my skies return to blue
Lord knows I’ll be coming to you
Once that cycle’s made its rounds
And I find my soul in the lost and found
I’m gonna hide it baby, from that devil over yonder
When I find the one that I love
Babe you know I’ll thank the stars
Then maybe baby, I’ll even give her a piece of my heart
When the rain comes, you know I’ll be there
When the clouds roll in, there’s no need to be scared
When my head clears, and my skies return to blue
Lord knows I’ll be coming to you
