Together Again
The gentle fall of rain bathes my face
I walked where we had walked before
With sadness I remember your smile
I think of how I will see it no more
You are gone, but never will I forget
The wonderful happiness we shared
There is emptyness within my heart
A loss of two sisters for who I cared
If I could only bring back the time
To the happy childhood we knew
But memories of happiness shared
For the time being will have to do
Some day again we will be together
Again to know the love we share
Where we will have a life eternal
Under God's tender loving care
Changing Colors
I can hear the song of restless leaves
As they sway in the evening breeze
Soon they will be changing to colors
Beauty then will come to our trees
Some trees will become a firey red
While others will be of a yellow hue
Orange will be mixed in with the rest
In a background of a sky that is blue
Our hills will be dressed for visitors
Who will come many miles to see
The colors of our southern Ohio hills
It is a very lovely site they will see
We see this happen once every year
It is such a wonderful sight to behold
Visit us in the southern part of Ohio
Come see nature let the colors unfold
Just A Boy
He was just a little barefoot boy
Kicking dust as he takes a walk
Not a playmate does he have
No friends to who he can talk
He plays under the apple tree
Playing with an old milk can
Making a big road in the dirt
Just dreaming of being a man
Those days were so long ago
I remember them like today
A time that can never return
Games I can no longer play
I like to think of the past
Back in time when I was a boy
When I had a nickle bottle of pop
With all kinds of time to enjoy
But gone are those ideal days
When worries were not of mind
Trading all of the fun back then
For a world that isn't so kind
A Lady Like You
With a tear in my eye I walk our road
I stop as I hear a voice I once knew
It must be only the wind in the trees
I know I was hoping it would be you
Must I now walk in in this sad shadow
Will my heart always be filled with grief
Even the darkness of an unlit room
Fails in its attempt to bring me relief
Gone are all the good times together
Long past are the days we once shared
I sit and try to think without comfort
How can I be sure she really cared
I cry until my heart breaks apart
Longing for the days of time past
I guess I knew right from the start
Our relationship would never last
Tomorrow I know will be no better
For time has stole what we once knew
My heart will be will be forever broken
Just because I loved a lady like you
No Difference
Memories shared on a warm afternoon
Beautiful thoughts of days long past
Time why must you disappear so soon
Can't you stay a while and let it last
Our smiles seemed to come so easily
Not phoney, but straight from the heart
It seems so strange to me now though
I always knew some day we would part
Our world is so strange in some ways
One day everything seems to be alright
The next day the whole world is wrong
With as much difference as day and night
Some day we will sit and we will wonder
Could things really been different some how
Or was it just a dream we couldn't finish
I guess it makes no difference to us now
The Lost Cabin
I see a wisp of smoke this frosty morn
It is coming from the cabin on the hill
My heart I left in that old rustic cabin
I loved you so much and I always will
We spent the time in our lost world
So much fun it was just being with you
Your smiles sure lit up that old cabin
I know I must have been smiling too
But the cabin is no longer ours to have
You left without even saying goodbye
It brings so much sadness to my heart
Sometimes I just break down and cry
I sit and look and wish and wonder
How could the love we had go away
Loneliness is my only companion now
Wondering how I can survive this day
Loneliness
He looks at the picture with fond affection
Sees the love he shared with his lovely wife
Somehow things got so much out of control
He wishes he had the courage to end his life
He stopped to have a drink with his friends
It seemed like one thing just lead to another
A smile to the lady dressed in red he did give
Now there is nothing left for him or his lover
He walks the street alone with his thoughts
Trying to survive this lonely life he lives
Hoping some day he can atone in some way
Show her it was only to her his love he gives
The bottle now is the only companion he has
No home will ever be for him from now on
The streets are the only address he knows
Every thing he wanted in life is now gone
Famous
Did you ever sit and wonder
Had you were born back then
Would you have been famous
You know you might have been
Had you been the great Napoleon
Would you have been in Waterloo
Would you stayed with Josephine
Do you know what you would do
Had you been George Washington
Would you have crossed that river
To fight the battle with the British
In cold that would make you shiver
Since I know I will never be famous
History may never record my name
I guess it will make no difference
But I have lived here just the same
Lost Love
His heart carries a heavy load
His world has been torn apart
So much tragedy has beset him
Now she has broken his heart
She left him in the summertime
There was no reason for her to go
His love he had given her freely
This he was sure she did know
Time seems to always take away
The things in life we love the best
Hearts are sometimes broken apart
Somehow we seem to fail the test
She is gone away and will not return
He knows for him there is no other
His love for her will never waive
Until with dirt his body they do cover
