Written for our granddaughter Chloe, Lauri and I would like to share our sentiment and dedicate this to:
The love these little ones bring
The precious hope for our future

Lyrics:
Chloe, Chloe, I love you
For you there's nothing I won’t do
Cookies, Candy, Ice Cream, Honey
You’re so sweet 
You're even funny

Chloe, I love you
Your eyes say that you love me too
That smile, that giggle, that nose that wriggles
Melts my heart for you

Chloe, Chloe, I love you
From your head down to your toes
You’re so precious, you’re  the future
Look how fast time goes

Chloe, I love you
Your eyes say that you love me too
That smile, that giggle, that nose that wriggles
Melts my heart for you

Chloe, Chloe, I love you
Chloe, Chloe, How I love you

Lullaby For Chloe

Lyrics:
(You say) Laugh & sing & do your thing
Whatever makes you happy
(You say) Laugh & sing & do your thing
Choose to be happy

Verse 1:
I take things so seriously
But you say enjoy & let it be
Even the rainbow can’t be blue

Chorus:
Send me some love
Send me some laughter
Send me some happy ever after
I wanna be happy
I wanna be happy with you
(Happy ever after)

Verse 2: 
When my mind is going round & round
When I want to feel up but I’m feelin down, down down
I stop & think of you
You always get me through
Even the rainbow can’t be blue

Chorus 
Send me some love
Send me some laughter
Send me some happy ever after
I wanna be happy with you
(Happy ever after)

Originally written as a tribute to John Lennon, Lauri and I now dedicate this new recording to all of the victims of gun violence.

Lyrics:
Losing you was never meant to be
Time will prove you’re more than a memory
I know, no one new will ever fill your shoes for me like you
My Love to you

You tried to give the world some harmony
The love you left bestowed a legacy
I know, no one new will ever fill your shoes for me like you
My Love to you

No matter where I go 
You’ll be near
No matter who I see 
You’ll be there
Deep inside of me

No one else could say it quite like you 
From the heart your words were always true
I know, no one new will ever fill your shoes for me like you
My Love to you

No matter where I go 
You’ll be near
No matter who I see 
You’ll be there
Deep inside of me

Losing you was never meant to be
Time will prove you’re more than a memory
I know, no one new will ever fill your shoes for me like you
My Love to you

My Love To You

Sitting down and practicing our songs we modified this wonderful piece by Don Williams by adding some back-up.

Lyrics:
 

 
Like a song that won’t be sung    
Like a ladder without rungs	  
Like a flower that won’t bloom  

Like a house that has no rooms
Like the stars without the moon
Like a dancer with no tune

That’s what my world’s like without you

You’re not alone, I feel your pain
I’ll lift you up until things change

Let me shine a light to guide your way
When you’re hurting I feel it

That’s what my world’s like without you
That’s what my world’s like

Like a poem without the words
Like a speech that won’t be heard
Like a big sky, that’s never blue

Like a bird without a tree
Like a lock without a key 
Like a loved one who’s not seen

That’s what my world’s like

You’re not alone, I feel your pain
I’ll lift you up until things change

Let me shine a light to guide your way
When you’re hurting I feel it

That’s what my world’s like without you
That’s what my world’s like without you

Without You
