..........she changed me...
.
Lyrics
.
Big picture windows and bright colored birds, flying in to see her...
Blue glass bowls and plates shaped like fishes...  Wine and brie on crystalline dishes.
Watch the world sparkle from beneath a blue glass table, ah!

Chorus:
And she loved blue skies (3x)
And I could see them in her eyes (3x)

Austin and Bean, behind a curtain of dandelions, Warhols and James Dean lined her walls.
Tippy toe on the couch arm, to feel 10 feet tall!  Late night piano on a big blue ball...

(piano interlude)

Catching in color creatures scurrying to her window.  Curious monkeys and seagulls so fast, while spinning tops glitter brightly on glass...

Chorus:
And she loved blue skies (3x)
And I could see them in her eyes (2x)

Black leather jackets and oversized sweaters. silk and cashmere and three dozen shoes...
The sweetheart of all my songs and love letters,  black shades red lips and pink cheeks with no rouge.

Perfume, incense, Godiva - warm cup of bliss.  roses and candlelight reflect on the water.  If only time could stand still just like this.  Just like this...

Life transitions can be so untidy...  Friends offer support.  Voices speak quietly.  She has shifted the major and minor in me...

Still the way her head cradles into my shoulder, crinkles on her nose when she smiles.  Quiet walks in the woods along our canal.  or on the beach to gather shells for a while.  Ah!

Chorus:
And she loves blue skies (3x)
And I can see them in her eyes (3x)

..........it's okay to not have it all


Lyrics:

V1.
Little Bear, won't you share just a slice of your blueberry pie.  It would be so nice if I could have a try.  
Don't you see my eyes?  They are staring at the prize you carry between hairy paws.  

C1.
Oh Little Bear, it would be nice if you would share a slice of your blueberry pie..., your blueberry pie..., your blueberry pie.
V1.1
Little Bear, won't you share just a slice of your blueberry pie.  May I try a bite?

V2.
Little Bear, I'm still very enticed by your blueberry pie, I've asked you nicely but there's been nary a reply.
Such a giant sized pie,... would it be wise?  Won't you hurt your belly if you eat it all?

C2.
Oh Little Bear, take my advice.  Don't gobble every slice of your blueberry pie..., your blueberry pie..., your blueberry pie.
V2.1
I don't mean to be contrary, but if your pie is dry, I have dairy!?

V3.
Oh how very beyond all compare was your blueberry pie.  Twice the recipe of blueberries, I think that's why...  
What a big surprise, your blueberry pie's so nice and juicy we don't need milk at all.

C3.
A dozen napkins won't suffice when savoring a slice of your blueberry pie,... your blueberry pie,... your blueberry pie.
V3.1
Little Bear, thank you very, very much for your blueberry pie.  I'm very satisfied!

..........For our friends.
. 

Lyrics:
.
v1.
When you arrive, time to take a small break from our labors…  To slow down and unwind as much as we’re able, 
An honest kind-hearted friendship never wavered.  You bring the wine.  We’ll set the table.

v2.
At the door, “Glad to see you!  How was your flight?  Of course, you’ll have to stay for more than just one night???”
The girls start in with banter and joking, our words more subtle.,,, quietly spoken, confidence shared, long-kept, unbroken…

Chorus:  
We’ll serve the quiet and you pour the laughter.  No need to clean up, we can handle that after you’ve gone…  
Let’s make the most of this time spent together…. Even though a familiar melancholy song, the afterglow of your smile lingers on…

v3.
Share a good meal and a drink, or maybe two, talking of old times, and old friends we once knew…  
laugh and smile ‘til… bellies and hearts fill, remembering all we knew to be true.

v4.
Behind the meal, and special care, … faintly whispering in the air. 
More than gratitude, peace and good cheer, sacred, unspoken these many years… this reluctant evanescence shared…

Chorus:  
We’ll serve the quiet and you pour the laughter.  No need to clean up, we can handle that when you’ve gone…  
Let’s make the most of this time spent together…. Even though a familiar melancholy song, the afterglow of your smile lingers on…

v5.
Once again, across all these years… How have we come this far???    through love... laughter… loss… tears???   … You break out your guitar,…

(guitar interlude)

Life’s not always been kind, but friends know how to pretend… love is blind…

Chorus:  
A little more music,…  Won’t you read us a chapter?  We've got all night. When will another chance come along?  
Let’s make the most of this time spent together…Even though a familiar melancholy song, the afterglow of your smile lingers on…

Afterglow

All of Me

All Of Me

Lyrics

There’s a grace in accepting our past
Shading reality through rose-tinted glass
Reframe dreams, re-envision success,
A lifetime of memories, some good, some a little less.

We’ve had challenges along our way.
Detours that led us here today…
Would never have dreamed to pray for this…
We found in our struggles a share of bliss…

Though deep wilderness we travel through
You make ever after so easy to do…
You make ever after oh so easy to do…

Why choose this man so flawed and moody.
In imperfection you showed him beauty.
Imperfect, yet never settling for less
as you tease playfully at his seriousness…

Now I hold my tongue a little more…
So that for your waves I can be your shore…
To be your comfort as we grow old…
To have the hand you reach out to hold.

Tender impulses somehow grew.
You make ever after so easy to do…
Our years together, how they flew.
You make ever after so easy to do…
You make ever after oh so easy to do

Interlude 

Our years together, how they flew.
You make ever after so easy to do
If we lived 1000 lifetimes through
I'd still do ever after… so happily with you,
I'd still do ever after… so happily with you,

Lyrics:

There’s a space within the mind 
where strands of fantasies unwind.  
Imagination so inclined…
From far beyond and far behind.

Joy or sorrow from their tears,
Transformed and silent, all these years.
In crystal pools like sacred mirrors
A fount of closely held ideals

An empty vessel, nothing more
Floating off to some far shore…
An empty vessel, nothing more

A beggar rough and so uncouth
Pours himself a dry vermouth
To hide from errors of his youth
From gravest sin profoundest truth

Head tilts, catches quiet whispers 
In mountain streams, and flowing rivers
Voices silence, concerns disperse.
A message from the universe:

An empty vessel, nothing more
Floating off to some far shore…
An empty vessel, nothing more

You let your intuition flow, 
To hidden dreams and secret woe
You would dare ne’er share nor show
But revelations from there grow…

Not of my own intent creating.  
But in this darkness meditating
Discoveries lie dormant, waiting. 
The silent child anticipating

An empty vessel, nothing more
Floating off to some far shore…
An empty vessel, nothing more

An empty vessel, nothing more

Nothing More
