Waking Up Next To You

Waking up Next to You *

Waking up next to you, dear
Is the light that begins my day
And the sense of you so near
Helps to guide me on my way

Waking up next to you, love
Fills me with the things we share
The life I've been dreaming of
Is around me everywhere

Waking up next to you, friend
Helps me know just what to do
So our love will never end
I'm so entwined with you

Waking up next to you, wife
The scent of fresh cut flowers
You're the brightness in my life
And I love you more each hour

Want to Know You

Want To Know You

I really want to know you
Not what you do, but who you are
What's your favorite constellation
When you're wishing on a star

I really want to know you
About your laughter and your pain
Your fav'rite recipes and poets
Do you like dancing in the rain?

I really want to know you
Are you silly? Are you smart?
Are you vain or very modest
And how big is your heart

I really want to know you
About your hunger and your thirst
Yea, I really want to know you
But I have to know me first

Lonesome Cowboy (Humor)

Lonesome Cowboy

Been out on the range since three weeks ago Tuesday
Sleepin' on the rocks underneath the stars
Dreamin' 'bout bein' in town on Saturday
At Jerry Jim Bob's country/western bar

I've been so sad since you've been away love
You've broken a heart that was so true
You're gone but you'll never be forgotten
'Cause darlin' I'm still in love with ewe

How could you go and leave me so heartless
How could you go and leave me so cold
I can't believe I could be so smartless
And that i'll be alone when I'm old

Been lookin' for you so long and hard dear
Been up the mountains, down the river gorge
I was sure that you would always be faithful
Like my dear Aunt Martha's trusty old Norge

I've been so sad since you've been away love
You've broken a heart that was so true
You're gone but you'll never be forgotten
'Cause darlin' I'm still in love with ewe
