Sunday Morning coming down

Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I'd smoked my mind the night before with cigarettes and the songs I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street and caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned,
'Cause there's something in a Sunday, that makes a body feel alone,
And there's nothing short of dying that's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning comin' down.

In the park I saw a daddy with a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon, like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

Travelin' Soldier

Two days past eighteen, he was waiting for the bus in his army green. Sat down in a booth in a cafe there. Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.

He's a little shy, so she gives him a smile and he said, Would you mind sittin' down for a while and talking to me?

I'm feeling a little low!

Said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go." So they went down and they sat on the pier.

He said, I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care. I got no one to send a letter to! Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?

I cried. Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! Too young for him they told her,
waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier! Our love will never end, waitin' for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone, when the letter said a soldier's coming home.

So the letters came from an army camp in California, then Vietnam. And he told her of his heart. It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of.

He said, When it's getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day sittin' down at the pier. And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile! Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while.

I cried. Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! Too young for him they told her, waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier! Our love will never end, waitin' for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone, when the letter said a soldier's coming home.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's Prayer said, and the Anthem sang, a man said,

Folks, would you bow your heads for a list of local Vietnam dead.

Crying all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band,
and one name read, but nobody really cared, but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair!

I cried! Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! Too young for him, they told her,
waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier!

Our love will never end, waitin' for the soldier to come back again. . .

Never more to be alone, when the letter said a soldier's coming home!

Christmas time in Texas

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me.
In Texas we'll be swingin' around the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a summer day.
There may not be snow in San Antonio,
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

When Santa Claus slips over the border
It'll sound a little different when he sings
'Cause he'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing.
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

When it's Christmas time in Texas,
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing,
People on the go, children's faces all aglow,
Wondering what Santa's gonna' bring.
Grandpa's been chasin' grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe.
Everything is right, the lone star shinin' bright,
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

Groovin to the Season

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost!

Love does not consist of looking at each other,
but in looking outward together in the same direction.

We flatter those we scarcely know, and please our fleeting guest.
But render many a heartless blow to those we love the best.
