My first country song...
Rebecca Lynn
Ole moon shining brightly
Creeping silent through your window,
Casts shadows on your body
As you lie beside your man,
Mind wanders back to eighteen
When things were free and easy,
Never wanted to be alone
Now you wonder if you can.
And the sun sets on the county
Busy day is lost to mem’ry
But the fireflies that light the skies
Will help you find your way,
A heart that beats in lifetimes
Just breathes to love somebody
The wind will whisper out your name
See you through another day.
‘Ole moon shining brightly
Dancing low upon the treetops
Paints shadows on the porch swing
Where you rocked your baby boy,
Were just a young girl that day
When you found you’d have a family
Singing Kenny Loggins
To the one who brought you joy.
And the sun’s set on the county
Your girl’s smile shinin’ like diamonds
The fireflies that fill her eyes
Let you know you’re not alone,
A heart that beats in lifetimes
Just breathes to love somebody
With tiny hand held tight in yours
She’ll always find her way back home.
‘Ole moon shining brightly
Creeping silent through your window,
Casts shadows on your body
As you lie beside your man…

Is this set to music? If not, it deserves to be, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this song and the songstress before. Gosh, I think I'm more of a pop and rock girl. I seldom listen to country. But it seems really nice, will go look for it online ;) Thanks for sharing Barry! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteIs this about someone I know?
ReplyDeleteFe, you haven't heard of this song before because I wrote it. :)
ReplyDeleteJill, yes it's about a girl you know very well. She inspires me more than she'll ever realize!
