Till The Rivers All Run Dry.

Till The Rivers All Run Dry.

‘Til the rivers all run dry,
‘Til the sun falls from the sky,
‘Til life on earth is through,
I’ll be needing you.
I know sometimes you may wonder,
From little things I say and do,
But there’s no need for you to wonder,
If I need you ’cause I’ll need you,
‘Til the rivers all run dry,
‘Til the sun falls from the sky,
‘Til life on earth is through,
I’ll be needing you.
Too many times I don’t tell you,
Too many things get in the way,
And even though sometimes I hurt you,
Still you show me in every way,
‘Til the rivers all run dry,
‘Til the sun falls from the sky,
‘Til life on earth is through,
I’ll be needing you.

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.

When my blue moon turns to gold again,
And the rainbow turns the clouds away,
But someday they’ll live again, sweetheart,
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

Memories that linger in my heart,
Memories that make my heart grow cold,
Then someday they’ll live again, sweetheart,
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

When my blue moon turns to gold again,
And the rainbow turns the clouds away,
When my blue moon turns to gold again,
You’ll be back within my arms to stay.
You’ll be back within my arms to stay.

A Song for a Sunday.

I’ll Fly Away.

Lyrics: American music composer and publisher, prolific in the genre of southern gospel, Albert E. Brumley.
Vocals: American singer/songwriter Alan Eugene Jackson.



I’ll Fly Away.

Alan Eugene Jackson.

Some glad morning when this life is over,
I’ll fly away,
To a home on God’s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh, Glory,
I’ll fly away,
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away.

Interlude

Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away,
To a land where joy shall never end,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh, Glory,
I’ll fly away,
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away.
Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away.

A Song For A Sunday.

“Peace Poem” Song “Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream”.

Lyrics & Poem: American and Canadian singer of contemporary and English folk music, songwriter, and character actor the late Ed McCurdy, (1919–2000).
Vocals: American country and folk singer, songwriter, and actor the late John Denver, (1943–1997), born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.

Peace Poem.
By Ed McCurdy.

John Denver.

There’s a name for war and killing,
And there’s a name for giving in when you know another answer,
For me the name is sin.
But there’s still time to turn around and make all hatred cease,
And give another name to living, we could call it “Peace”,
And peace would be the road we walk, each step along the way,
And peace would be the way we work and peace the way we play.
And in all we see that’s different and in all the things we know,
Peace would be the way we look, peace the way we grow.
There’s a name for separation.
There’s a name for first and last,
When it’s all for us or nothing,
For me the name is past.
But there’s still time to turn around and make all hatred cease,
And give a name to all the future, we could call it“Peace”,
And if peace is what we pray for,
And if peace is what we give,
Then peace will be the way we are,
And peace the way we live.
For there still is the time to turn around,
And make all hatred cease,
And give another name to living,
We can call it “Peace”,“Peace”,“Peace”.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
And the room was filled with men,
And the paper they were signing said,
They’d never fight again.

And when the papers was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.

And the people in the streets below,
Were dancing round and round,
And guns and swords and uniforms,
Were scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I never dreamed before,
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I never dreamed before,
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

Thank God For The Radio.

Thank God For The Radio.

On the wrong end of the highway,
When a long night has no end,
When there’s no one there beside me,
Till I hold you once again.
Thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
An’ feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
There’s a song, that we first danced to,
And there’s a song, they played the night we met,
And there’s a song, we first made love to,
That’s a song, I’ll never forget.
So, thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
And feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
And feelin’ blue.

Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Thank God for the radio.
