I Would Like To See You Again – Your Night Time Listening.

I Would Like To See You Again.

Lyrics are from the pens of Charlie Craig and Larry Atwood and performed, using that smooth, soft, bass-baritone voice of the late great American singer-songwriter Mr Don Williams (May 27th, 1939 – September 8th, 2017)

I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about some old times,
Some old times, some old friends,
And suddenly it came across my mind,
I would like to see you again.
Remember how we used to walk and talk,
Walk and talk, holdin’ hands.
We said we love each other I recall,
We made a lot of future plans.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then.
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
It’s funny how a feeling will come back.
It’ll come on back, make you blue,
Cause I just saw a picture in my mind,
Bout a time, of me and you.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
And tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
Yes, the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then.
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.

When I Dream

When I Dream.

Lyrics by Sandy Mason Theoret and recorded by American country music artist Crystal Gayle younger sister of the late Loretta Lynn, who sadly passed away yesterday.

I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees.
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please.
I could fly to Paris, oh, it’s at my beck and call.
Why do I go through life with nothing at all?
But when I dream, I dream of you.
Maybe someday you will come true.
I can be the singer or the clown in every room.
I can even call someone to take me to the moon.
I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane.
I can go to bed alone and never know his name.
But when I dream, I dream of you.
Maybe someday you will come true.
But when I dream, I dream of you.
Maybe someday you will come true.

Coal Miner’s Daughter & Country Music Icon, Loretta Lynn Dies Aged 90 years.

American country singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn, who was born a coal miner’s daughter, before becoming a country music icon has sadly died.

In a press release, her family have confirmed her death today at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at her home in Hurricane Mills,” the family confirmed in a press statement.

Lynn shared a quote from the Bible on Facebook just two days before her passing. She wrote: “Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”

Loretta Webb, who claimed to be of Irish and Cherokee descent, was born, the second of eight children, in the rural and remote Appalachian mountain village of Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, US.
Her younger sister went on to have a successful country career of her own under the name Crystal Gayle.

Loretta Webb married, at the tender age of 15 years, a 21-year-old war veteran Oliver Lynn and had given birth to four children before her legendary music career eventually took off, latter which spanned more than six decades, from the early-1960s.
She had learned to sing in Church, and her father, Melvin Webb, had died of black lung disease 11 years before her signature 1970 hit, “Coal Miner’s Daughter”; same eventually recorded, as an ode to his passing.

Her other hit songs included; “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)“; – “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)“; – “One’s on the Way”, and “Fist City”.

In 1980, the film Coal Miner’s Daughter which grossed $67.18 million in North America (against a budget of $15 million) was made based on her life, starring Sissy Spacek as Lynn, with Tommy Lee Jones (Oliver Lynn), Beverly D’Angelo (Patsy Cline) and Levon Helm (Ted Web) featuring in supporting roles.
Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, and Minnie Pearl make cameo appearances as themselves in the film.

All For Love.

Written by Bryan Adams, Robert John “Mutt” Lange, and Michael Kamen for the soundtrack of “The Three Musketeers”.

When it’s love you give, I’ll be a man of good faith.
Then in love you’ll live, I’ll make a stand and won’t break.
I’ll be the rock you can build on,
Be there when you’re old, to have and to hold.
When there’s love inside, I swear I’ll always be strong.
Then there’s a reason why, I’ll prove to you we belong.
I’ll be the wall that protects you,
From the wind and the rain, from the hurt and the pain, yeah!
Let’s make it! All for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need,
‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show,
And make it all for one and all for love.
When it’s love you make, I’ll be the fire in your night.
When it’s love you take I will defend, I will fight.
I’ll be there when you need me,
When honor’s at stake, this vow I will make.
Let’s make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need,
‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show,
And make it all for one and all for love.
Don’t lay our love to rest,
‘Cause we can stand up to the test.
We’ve got everything and more,
Than we had planned.
More than the rivers that run the land.
We got it all in our hands!
Let’s make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need,
‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all, it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show.
When there’s someone that you want, someone that you need, let’s make it,
All, all for one,
And all for love.
