The Great Divide

Up upon the Great Divide
Whispered voices from ancient times
Drift down the canyon walls On the wind ….thru the pines…..
Sister moon guards the night Father sun brings forth his light….
Up upon the Great Divide
Canyon’s steep ….steep and wide
East and West the rivers flow ...to the sea ….going home
Whispered voices from ancient times
Ancient rhythms …..Ancient rhymes
Up upon the Great Divide
Rocky Mountains…...majesty
Towering temples touch the sky
Deep and dark……..a royal blue…..
Whispered voices from ancient times
Ancient rhythms …..Ancient rhymes
Sister moon guards the night
Father sun brings forth his light….
Father sun brings forth his light….

Serenity River
03:32
|

|
Thru the canyon walls so steep
Flows the river dark and deep
Till she falls out on the plains
That is how you’d know her name
The Serenity River falls
Where the Eagles soar
Thru Cathedral walls
On her sunlit shore you may go
And let the Serenity …flow thru your soul
Flow thru your soul Flow thru your soul
And the river seems to say
I’ll take you with me on this day
Just lay back and let it go
Just lay back and let it flow….
The Serenity River falls
Where the Eagles soar
Thru Cathedral walls
On her sunlit shore you may go
And let the Serenity …flow thru your soul
Flow thru your soul Flow thru your soul

And so it Goes
03:05
|

A few of my memories are memories…
I’d like to forget
But most of my dreams are before me
Haven’t seem them yet
And so it goes (Let it Flow)
And so it goes (Let it Flow)
River’s will flow and flowers will grow
in the rain
Spring will arrive and wash away
all of the pain
And so it goes (Let it Flow)
And so it goes (Let it Flow)
Fortunes will rise and fortunes will fall
with the tide
And at journey’s end all your left with
it seems is your pride
And so it goes (Let it Flow)
And so it goes (Let it Flow)

Happiness
02:44
|

|
Summer breeze and the palm trees sway
Sun sparkles on the bay
A slight smile on a fragile face
Eyes soft reflect a trace ...of
Happiness ….and it won’t let go
Happiness ….reaching down to her soul
She sa-shays ….across the floor
The rhythm takes her …..out the door
On to the balcony of dreams
Her heart sings a lovers theme …. of
Happiness ….and it won’t let go
Happiness ….reaching down to her soul
As the night ….steals the day
Moonlight dances on the bay
Candlelight shines on her face
Shows more than just a trace...of
Happiness ….and it won’t let go
Happiness ….reaching down to her soul

The October sky was a Watercolor Blue
There were boats on the bay
It was a beautiful day.
People having fun
Down along the shore
You could hear there laugh
High above the ocean’s roar.
A beautiful day, Watercolor Blue
It was a beautiful day Watercolor Blue
The October Sky … was a Watercolor Blue
Dolphins swam in the bay
It was a beautiful day.
Children playing in the sand
Lovers walking hand in hand
It was a beautiful day.
A beautiful day, Watercolor Blue
It was a beautiful day Watercolor Blue

Oh my love this dance will take you
Yes my dear ……into your dreams
Its there my love …..that’s where I’ll find you
Its there I’m sure or so it seems
And as the whole world
keeps spinning around
You dance your dance then take your bow
Oh my dear rhythm will reach you
Way down deep into your soul
Its there my love that’s where I’ll find you
Its there I’m sure where you must go
And as the whole world
keeps spinning around
You dance your dance then take your bow

Roses Froze in the Snow

Am I the man ...who did not care
Who lite a fire ...then let it die
Am I that guy ...who thought that I
Could never lose ….would always win....
I was so cold …I did not know
Roses Froze in the snow
True loves so hard …so hard to find
I learned my lesson …hope I learned it well
Cause some loves grow and some grow old
Some age like vintage wine
I was so cold ….I did not know
Roses Froze in the snow
Life’s a lonely highway
It’s a long ways home
Maybe one day she’ll come back….
Cause some loves grow and some grow old
Some age like vintage wine
I was so cold ….I did not know
Roses Froze in the snow
Roses Froze in the snow

Storybook Bay

Some lives unfold like a Storybook Dream
They are who they are...and they are whom you seem
Happy and content out upon the bay
Sailing in the warmth of the day.
Happy ever after the sun on their face
Never a rain cloud ...not even a trace
They’ re sailing a way
Down to Storybook Bay
Some lives unfold
Like waves on the shore
Sometimes they’re calm
Sometimes you roar
Happy and content out upon the bay
Sailing in the warmth of the day.
Happy ever after the sun on their face
Never a rain cloud ...not even a trace
they’ re sailing a way
Down to Storybook Bay

Carousel
03:00
|

|
There’s a jolly old fella selling balloons
A hurdy gurdy man…..playing a tune
An ice cream vendor by the wishing well
Toss in a coin ...a fortune to tell
And the Carousel goes round and round
Painted ponies up and down
Happy folks sittin’ side by side
Smilin’ faces ...going for a ride….
The Carousel is under some tree’s
Down by the river ...a gently breeze
Town folk come from miles around
To climb upon this merry-go-round
And the Carousel goes round and round
Painted ponies up and down
Happy folks sittin’ side by side
Smilin’ faces ...going for a ride….
There’s a pretty young girl
She’s got a balloon
A handsome young man hums a tune
A 1000 laughs ...a 1000 smiles
This Carousel seen 10 thousand miles…

Fragile as a Rose
02:59

If man is stronger than steel
If man is thougher than stone
If man is harder than nails
Then why is he so much more…..
Fragile than a Rose…
So much more….
Fragile than a Rose
It’s the mystery of man
The world is in his hands
And the earth spins round and round
And the earth spins round and round
If man is as fierce as the sea
If man is as strong as a storm
If man is brighter than gold
Then why is he so much more…..
Fragile than a Rose…
So much more….
Fragile than a Rose
Life is a mystery
Not a problem to be solved
Life is a mystery
Not a problem you need to solve.

In the night in the night
Stars are shining
In the night in the night
Night-in-gales sing
They’re singing just for you
They’re singing just for me
In the night
