Spring Love


Pinch me in the morning you’re still here
It’s been months but full of years
We watch the flowers and trees bloom
Over morning coffee in  the porch room

Spring love let me sing
The flowers I’ll bring
The notes will ring
Spring love let me sing

When I saw your old lover in the crowd
I just wanted to shout out loud
You crazy dumb ass fool
You ain’t the sharpest tool

Why he left I do not know
Is it inside you that has yet to show
I do believe it was a flaw of his
Not to treasure your kiss

Spring love let me sing
The flowers I’ll bring
The notes will ring
Spring love let me sing

Meet me halfway
Agree to disagree
Hear what I say
You mean so much to me

I didn’t win you as much as pick you up
I showed you friendship that wouldn’t stop
Even gave you that alone space
Plus, I’ll do it all with grace

Don't Screw it Up

Chorus
Don't screw it up, again
You have the right plan 
just take her by the hand
And don't screw it up again

That night at the bar
I knew you were a star
From the way you walked in 
to the dimple on your chin
My heart did flutter
To find words that mattered

Chorus

We ain't 21 anymore
You're looking good at 34
We are both on our second try, 
No need to ask why
Let's make our own lovers tale 
I'll get you another pale ale

Chorus

Those nights you need a friend
Just to make the silence end
I'm a little bruised and dent
From the years I've spent
But let me open the door
There's so much life in store

Simple Roots rethought.

Rethought to an Irish beat

Am                        G
She drew back her bow, and called out the key
F                   G       Am
A melody true and a tune in G,
Am            G
One by one, they each had a say
F         g      Am
Great start …..to the day.
F              g      Am
Great start …..to the day.
  Dm                       Am
With Pete taking pics of this motely crew
  G                  F       G    Am 
A cast of friends shared a fine brew
             F       G    Am
 they shared a fine brew

chorus
Dm                                G         
Here's to the roots and simple they be
F                  G         Am
Here's to the folks, who gather to see.
Dm                                  G          
Here's to the time, we share as friends† 
  Dm           G           Am
Noon time Sunday morning
   Dm              G      Am      F G Am
Noon time Sunday morning

Am                   G
There in the crowd, beside beer and crepes
F                   G       Am
Sat a young soul, his heart to take
Am                              G
She drew back her bow, and just let it ring
F           g      Am
She played  ..   his heartstrings
F               g      Am
She played  ..   his heartstrings
  Dm                       Am
After the show, he bought her a beer
  G                                        F     G  Am 
Told some stories and he laughed with her
            F    G     Am
he laughed with her

Chorus instrumental Chorus and OUT... And here is what it sounds like:

Dance Tonight



The dance of the life, the chance of time
Ages of man women have written
Pages and pages filled with rhyme
Still the real bells and whistles simple
A wink of an eye, a glance from behind
To blink you’d miss it, a lover’s symbol

Chorus
So take this dance with me tonight
My hand gentle on your back
Keep me in your constant in your site
As we dance, we dance thru the night


You hair pulled high all the fabric pressed
The music begins and the crowd stirs a start
Cruising the floor in you red dress
Your skin so white, your eyes so dark
Unclench my soul be still my heart
I would be yours, please drop your guard.

So mark the time …that song did end
A pregnant pause a silent bow
We left the floor hand in hand
A with a toast … our life began
A blend red a black and tan
We started life a lady and her man.
