Quiet Songs

Flicker

The flicker of a campfire
The wind in the pines
The moon on the meadow
The stars that shine
A place where people gather
Make friends of all kinds
A place where all man's troubles
Are always left behind
So give me the light of a campfire
Warm and bright
Give me some friends to sing with
I'll be here all night
For love is for those who find it
I found mine right here
Just you and me and the campfire
And the song we love to hear

Good Night My Someone

Good night, my someone, good night, my love,
Sleep tight, my someone, sleep tight, my love,
Our star is shining it's brightest light,
For good night, my love, good night

Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be,
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me,
I wish they may and I wish they might,
Now, good night, my someone, good night.

I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company.

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love,
Grow apple tree and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves.

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand.
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echos on
And never goes away

Mariah

Oh, way out there they got a name,
For rain and wind and fire.
The rain is Tess, The fire Joe
And the wind they call Mariah.

Mariah blows the stars around
And send the clouds a-flyin'
Mariah makes the mountains sound
Like folks are up there dyin'

Mariah, Mariah, They call the wind Mariah.
Mariah, Mariah, Blow my love to me

Purple Lights
An echo song

Purple Lights
In the cabin
That's where I
Long to be
With my three
Companions
(together)
My rifle, my pony and me.

Whipperwill
In the meadow
Sings a sweet
Melody
For my three
Good companions
(together)
My rifle, my pony and me

No more cows
To be ropin'
Running free
Just my three
Good companions
(together)
My rifle, my pony and me.

Shanendoah

Oh, Shanendoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river,
Oh, Shanendoah, I long to hear you
Away, we're bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.

Why Me, Lord?

Why me, Lord?
What have I ever done,
To deserve even one,
Of the pleasures I've known,
Tell me, Lord,
What did I ever do
That was worth lovin' you
Or the kindness You've shown.

Chorus: Lord, help me, Jesus,
I've wasted it so help me Jesus,
I know what I am
But now that I know
That I've wasted it so help me Jesus
My soul's in Your hand

Try me, Lord,
If you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from You.
Maybe, Lord,
I can show someone else,
What I'be been through myself,
On my way back to You.
Chorus
