Always

Walt Yanis, Thorntree Music BMI. 

I can’t recall a time,when you weren't on my mind.
When  you weren't  always somewhere in my heart light.
Yet now you ask of me, how long the time will be,
until the heart light burning dims in my eyes.
Chorus 
Until the rivers flow back to the hills.
Until the sunsets in the east,  
and turns back time I know I will.
Show you everyday, how long my love will stay,
always,  always . 

As blessings do arrive and children fill up lives,
time becomes a precious thing to hold to.
But promised words abide, spoken with tired eyes, 
silently across a crowded room. 
 Chorus 
And has our dance slows to a waltz in passing years.
Words like forever will be ringing in our ears.

You and Me 
K.McKrell © 2022 Thorntree Music, BMI.

He  is laying the dark like an old dog chewing on old memories. 
Gnawing old bones, losing sleep on old used to be’s. 
She says  ya can’t change the past  boy,  
the future's a beautiful  mystery. 
So come  take a walk with me, down by the river. 
  
Cause it's you and me.
Bluebirds singing on a window sill, 
got  us some time to kill. 
If we don't leave now we never will. 
Yes it's you and me.
Two fish on the same old hook, 
Two lovers from a picture book, 
One look was all it took. 
  
She's searching for a rainbows on a cloudy day. 
With a smile gonna light the world,gonna chase those clouds away. 
Most times this Goddamn  world’s got  nothing nice to say, 
but she  loves it anyway,  cause her Momma raised  her that way.  

Cause it's you and me.  
Bluebirds singing on a window sill,   
got  us some time to kill.   
If we don't leave now we never will.   
Yes it's you and me.  
Two fish on the same old hook,   
Two lovers from a picture book,   
One look was all it took. 

You and me gonna wander down this road a ways. 
we are gonna find ourselves a spot , our own lover's hideaway. 
Come on boy get a move on, we ain’t got all day. 
Gonna  take the time to say, everything is gonna be OK. 
  

Cause it's you and me. 
Bluebirds singing on a window sill,  
got  us some time to kill.  
If we don't leave now we never will.  
Yes it's you and me. 
Two fish on the same old hook,  
Two lovers from a picture book,  
One look was all it took. 

Boat Named Love and Happiness 
K.McKrell ©2022 Thorntree Music BMI 

I see you when I close my eyes, 
when I lay me down to sleep. 
I see you in the morning light 
as the sun shines down on me. 
I see the love light burning bright, 
from your pretty eyes of blue. 
Yes I know I got a lot to learn 
when it comes to loving you. 

There is a full moon in the summer sky, 
just as big as all outdoors. 
It sparkles like a diamond bright, 
fresh from a diamond store. 
I wish that it was mine to give, 
cause I would put it in your hand. 
Then I would run and I’d tell everyone 
you are my girl and I’m your man. 

There is a story of a crooked man, 
who walked a crooked mile. 
He had a crooked way of talking, 
he wore a crooked little smile. 
But now I hear that he is going straight. 
Straight back home to you. 
If you’ll forgive him all his crooked ways 
Is  that is something you could do. 

There is a boat named love and happiness, 
out on the stormy sea. 
We never know which way the wind will blow, 
when it comes to you and me. 
We will face the storm together 
together hand in hand. 
As we will sail into forever 
That woman and this man.

I see you when I close my eyes,  
when I lay me down to sleep.  
I see you in the morning light  
as the sun shines down on me.  
I see the love light burning bright,  
from your pretty eyes of blue.  
Yes I know I got a lot to learn  
when it comes to loving you. 

Angel in the Moonlight 
K.McKrell © 2022 Thorntree Music BMI 

I heard an angel sing a song into the moonlight, 
In a voice I have never heard before nor since. 
It filled my night with magic and with wonder. 
I would give my life if I could only hear that song again. 

Chorus 
I have always been a hard case and a rover. 
Living rough and destined for a fall. 
If I could’ve changed my ways, 
I’d be there with you today. 
Instead I am searching for an angel   
to catch me when I fall. 

Mama told me that God would always love me. 
That forgiveness was a virtue, that lying was a sin. 
The truth is I have sinned, yes I’m on my knees again. 
Not even  Jesus can save me from the mess that I am in. 

I have always been a hard case and a rover. 
Living rough and destined for a fall. 
If I could’ve changed my ways, 
I’d be there with you today. 
Instead I am searching for an angel   
to catch me when I fall. 

So if you are out there won’t you  raise your hand to Jesus. 
If you  could  please give my Ma a call. 
Just tell her I’m with friends, what’s one more lie before the end . 
And tell her I have seen the angel, I have  heard that song again. 

I have always been a hard case and a rover. 
Living rough and destined for a fall. 
If I could’ve changed my ways, 
I’d be there with you today. 
Instead I am searching for an angel   
to catch me when i fall.

A Song And A Prayer 
John Kribs,John Kribs Music
All that I’ve got is a song and a prayer 
All that I need is to know I’ll get there 
And when I find that beautiful place 
I will lay myself down in holliest grace 

I left my poor family in 72 
I headed west I did, what I had to do. 
I followed that sunset I lost every dime 
Not making the grade, just killing time. 

All that I’ve got ,Is a song and a prayer 
All that I need ,is to know I’ll get there. 
And when I’ve found that beautiful place 
I will lay myself down in holiest grace. 

You have to do he said, what you have to do. 
You’re gonna be high sometimes, your gonna be blue. 
Cause living it ain’t easy, then there’s no doubt , 
that the sun will keep rising and blessings still count 
Chorus.

The Valentine Card 
K.McKrell © 2022 Thorntree Music BMI 

I bought a Valentine card down 
at the local five and dime. 
With a picture of a big red heart 
and a goofy old nursery rhythm. 
There is no way this Hallmark will ever do, 
So I’m gonna jot a few things down, 
lick a stamp, send my thoughts to you. 

I’m gonna kiss you on the cheek, 
soft as a feather from a humming bird. 
Your whispered words are the sweetest sounds 
I have ever heard. 
Gonna throw a coin in a fountain,
close my eyes and wish my dreams come true. 
That I will always and forever be with you. 

The clock on the wall 
ticks by in three quarter time. 
Sometimes I get a down right weary 
and a lonesome mind. 
So my heart took my brain 
and gave that boy a talkin’ to, 
Then my brain and my heart went ahead 
and wrote these words to you. 

Sure as the sun comes up 
sure as the moon goes down. 
Sure as this big old crazy world 
goes spinning round and round 
Sure as roses are red and violets are blue 
I will always and forever be with you. 

I’m gonna kiss you on the cheek, 
soft as a feather from a humming bird. 
Your whispered words 
are the sweetest sounds 
I have ever heard. 
Gonna throw a coin in a fountain 
close my eyes and wish my dreams come true. 
That I will always and forever be with you.

My Lady On The Mountain.  
K.McKrell ©2022 Thorntree Music BMI  

My lady on the mountain, 
she cries when I have to go away. 
My Lady on the mountain, 
she calls my name, she tries to make me stay. 
In her heart she knows the wind, 
that’s the way I’ve always been.   
She cries when I go away.  
She cries, she cries  
She cries, oh she cries. 
   
My lady dressed in silver, 
she is the sun on a summers day. 
My lady dressed in silver, 
the flowers they all turn their heads away.  
For they know their beauty can’t compare,  
To the summer sunlight in her hair.  
Tell me why did I go away.  
She cries, she cries, 
She cries, oh she cries. 
   
My Lady dressed in lavender, 
with the flowers of the mountain  in a chain. 
My lady dressed in lavender, 
Come morning’ I ‘ll be on that northbound train. 
She will never leave her mountain home ,  
it’s the only home she’s ever known.  
She cries when I go away.  
She cries,she cries. 
She cries, oh she cries
