Eternal Peace

In the silence of a dark winter night
We're walking in the fading light
But I don't feel the cold
'cause I've got you here to hold
You're the sun that warms my soul

Christmas is a time to rejoice
And being here with you is like a dream come true
I want to embrace your beautiful face
The joy that you give fills my heart

Silver stars shine ever so bright
Like tinsel when it catches the light
You're my star, you're my light
And I need you here tonight
A lovers flame that never will die

A Christmas Love Song

It has been unusually cool around here as normally it would be cold and snowing. So I thought I might try a cool jazz type song.

I am playing the guitar and via my keyboard the tenor sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks.

Cool Days

Why Does Santa...?

There’s redemption in the mountains
And salvation in the morning
That record still makes me come undone
There’s a blue ghost in the hallway
And I think I’m seeing shadows
That record still makes me come undone

You’re not down for the count
But I see you still have doubts
If you think there’s a message yet to come
Take a breath from what you’re doing
Look me up and dial your telephone

It was fall in Caledonia
It was cold in the doorway
That record still makes me come undone
There were signs in every corner
There was music in the kitchen
The sound of Joni’s River like a gun

You’re not down for the count
But I see you still have doubts
If you think there’s a message yet to come

There’s a sign at the edge of town
And some words of inspiration
That record still makes me come undone
There’s a lot of bad reception
There are voices in the airwaves
The River still makes me come undone

You’re not down for the count
But I see you still have doubts
If you think there’s a message yet to come
Take a breath from what you’re doing
Look me up and dial your telephone

There’s redemption in the mountains
And salvation in the morning
That record still makes me come undone
That record still makes me come undone
Yeah, that record

=== LYRICS ===

[A1]
A full moon is rising big and bright
It’s begging for you and me to share its light
And to step outside and make some fun
So what do you say?
Come on

[A2]
Let’s meander down the avenue
Just me and you and a path for two
There’s plenty to do and the night is young
So what do you say?
Come on

[Bridge]
Out there, neon signs are dancing
It’s a carnival of colour and wow 
It is entrancing

[A3]
Adventure waits for you and me
So share some thrills and keep me company
Just grab your smile and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
Come on 

[Instrumental for a tap dancing duo in the style of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers]

[Bridge (2)]
Tonight, the moonlight seems to be calling
It’s like magic fills the air 
And it is enthralling

[A3 (2)]
A night of nights waits for you and me 
Let’s enjoy being footloose and fancy free
Just pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say-yay? Hey come on

[TAG]
Pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say?
Hey! Take a break
It’ll be worth it
Trust me, you’ll love it
I promise
Come on

What Do You Say? (Let's Get Gone)

I didn't ask for this cold spring
I didn't ask the birds not to sing
I asked for a girl I could call my dear
together to melt snow with a cold beer.

Every year I ask for just one song
March, April, May to be gentle and long
hand in hand with my nightingale
seems that my wish is a fairy tale.

I didn't ask for...

Every day I'm grieving for forecast
trembly escaping to my languorous past
The fading scene with the fire, the storm
the morning was cold but your lips were still warm.

I didn't ask for...

I cry for birds
who came with the southwest breeze
in the hope of a new brood
saw the pastures freeze.

I didn't ask for...

I cry for blooms
that opened their tiny buds
they have reached for the sunlight
met the hardened mud.

This Cold Spring

Cold Rain And Snow has been a popular folk song for well over 100 years. It's traditional with an unknown origin but some date it to North Carolina in the 1870's.  We thought a blues rock take on it would be fun!

He took me for his wife
You gave me trouble all my life
You left me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, rain and snow 
You left me out in the cold rain and snow

Now I’ve done all I can do
To try to get along with you
And I ain't gonna be treated this way
This a way, oh my Lord
I ain't gonna be treated this way

SOLO

I slowly climbed the stairs
Combin' back my long golden hair
And my cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, red as a rose
Yeah, my cheeks were as red as a rose

I followed him to the dark room
Where he would meet his doom
Cause  I ain't gonna be treated this-a way
This-a way, oh no
No more cold rain and snow

Cold Rain And Snow

Circa the late 1960's.
Place, the jazz lounge at the Holiday Inn
Band, Mario and His Mystical Merry Music Makers

I did this just for the fun of it.

I am playing my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Tenor Sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks using my sound sources.

Lyrics:

Time To Rock

Time To Rock and Time To Roll
´round and ´round just havin´a ball
swingin´around and out into the Hall

Arms around you nice and tight
swayin´and swirlin´into the night
Darlin´don´t wanna lose you out of sight

´cause you Darlin´
always make me feel
so very good you know
and that is all for real
for real

This is the Night to Celebrate
that we´re together , aint´that so great
I believe it was ment to be our fate 

I must be so lucky a guy
to find a a gal like you, Oh My !
in my older days , my Darlin´hi !

´cause you Darlin´
always make me feel
so very good you know
and that is all for real
for real

Take my hands
let´s take a chance
Rockin´n´a Rollin´together
in splendid romance

This is the Night to Celebrate
that we´re together , aint´that so great
I believe it was ment to be our fate 

´cause you Darlin´
always make me feel
so very good you know
and that is all for real
for real


cheers
Dani
