Cantantes Del Recuerdo, Vol. 2

Blue Velvet

Sitting, looking out of my window, watching the leaves gently fall.
Tried to get them up, but there’s way too many, just can’t get them all.
And that’s the way that it is with love girl, I’ve fallen so many times.
The other leaves have all blown away now, but I don’t really mind.
Happens all the time. One leaf left behind, it’s you!

And I’ll never leave again. I have found my place, here I stand.
Leaves may come and leaves may go. Where they end up, no one knows.
They get covered up in snow, but you – you remain.
Watching it snow out my window, wonder just how deep it will get.
The sun comes out and then it starts melting, But I just can’t forget.
That underneath all that snow that’s fallen, a single leaf still remains.
And just like that other leaves start growing, but those leaves aren’t the same.
Nothing’s really changed. Just one leaf remains, it’s you!

And I’ll never leave again. I have found my place, here I stand.
Leaves may come and leaves may go. Where they end up, no one knows.
They get covered up in snow, but you – you remain.

And I’ll never leave again. I have found my place, here I stand.
Summer comes, and ‘fore you know, you can feel the cold winds blow.
Leaves fall again, but don’t you know, it’s you. You remain.



It’s You

When the problem is me, the answer’s prayer
(Mark Irving Anderson)
 
 
There’s really only one problem
In the whole universe
So, there’s only one answer
And just to make matters worse
It seems that the problem’s me
And the answer’s always prayer
I’d pray if I could
But sometimes I ain’t there…
 
There’s really only one problem
When it comes to love
And only one answer
And that comes from above
If the problem’s always me
Then the answer’s always prayer
I should pray, oh
But somedays I ain’t there…
 
[Chorus]
Until I hit the wall, hit the ground, or hit someone I know
We’re all lost until we’re found, I still got a ways to go
I could lie and try to tell you why, I don’t even care
But, when the problem’s me, oh the answer’s prayer…
 
There’s really only one problem
On the darkest night
So, there’s only one answer
For a dimming light
If the problem’s always me
Then the answer’s always prayer
I know I should pray
But sometimes I ain’t there…
 
[Bridge]
When I wander off, and lose my way
The garden weeds grow bolder
Whenever I get closer, Lord
We walk among the clover…
 
[Chorus]
Until I hit the wall, hit the ground, or hit someone I know
We’re all lost until we’re found, I still got a ways to go
I could lie and try to tell you why, I don’t even care
When the problem’s me, the answer’s prayer

I could lie and try to tell you why, I don’t even care
When the problem’s me, the answer’s prayer

When the problem’s me, the answer’s prayer…
