Just A Little After Midnight
(Happy Birthday)

Just a little after midnight
Earth was several summers younger
That's the instant when it all began
It was your time to arrive
Glad to be alive

Just a little after midnight
Street lights flickered through the window
It's a moment that heaven won't forget
You awakened like the dawn
That night when you were born

Around the room, faces were smiling
Glistening eyes were everywhere
In those early hours that miracle morning 
You were the answer to a prayer

Just a little after midnight
When all the town was quietly sleeping
Like an angel wrapped in glory from above
Shining bright as summer sun
You brought hope and joy to everyone

Happy birthday
Welcome to a whole new year
Time continues to march along
Let's celebrate being here

Happy birthday
May all of your dreams come true
Close your eyes, make a wish
Happy birthday to you

May every dream come true 
Happy birthday to you

Just A Little After Midnight (Happy Birthday)

Soul Stealer
outa my dream you walked into sight
I thought I'd finally seen the light
and though your eyes shone that night
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

I didn't offer it for sale, it got stole
maybe it had all been foretold
but you carried me over our threshold
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

for many years you played me hard
I'd been better off just left scarred 
but I let you tear down my guard
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

you took me out to the crossroad
I saw the signs but never slowed 
should have known what it forebode
I know now you are a soul stealer

yeah you are a soul stealer

Soul Stealer

I Need You Like Another Broken Heart

Christmastime

The Wonder Of Christmas Is Jesus

STILL DRINKING

as soon as my heart stops hurting
when your memory stops hanging around
as soon as these tears stop falling
i'll set this bottle down
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i'm still drinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;still in this bar
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can't stop thinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that forgetting can't be far
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there must be a better way
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to drive you from my heart
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i don't know
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking

as soon as that jukebox stops playing
songs that make me wish you were still mine
as soon as i don't see your face each time i close my eyes
i'll stop trying to whiskey myself blind
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;still in this bar
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can't stop thinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that forgetting can't be far
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there must be a better way
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to drive you from my heart
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i don't know
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm still drinking

Still Drinking

An old favorite    God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

My friend Noel Adams and I co-wrote this song based on a friend of Noel's who is a cancer survivor.  Life is a gift - treasure it.

I Need You Like Another Broken Heart
