I Remember Everything.
I’ve been down this road before, I remember every tree. Every single blade of grass, Holds a special place for me. I remember every town, And every hotel room. Every song I ever sing, On a guitar out of tune. I remember everything, Things I can’t forget, The way you turned and smiled on me, On the night that we first met. I remember every night, Your ocean eyes of blue. How I miss you in the morning light, Like roses miss the dew. I’ve been down this road before, Alone as I can be, Careful not to let my past, Go sneaking up on me. I’ve no future in my happiness, Though regrets are very few. Sometimes a little tenderness, The best that I could do. I remember everything, Things I can’t forget. Swimming pools of butterflies, That dropped through the net. And I remember every night, Your ocean eyes of blue. How I miss you in the morning light, Like roses miss the dew. How I miss you in the morning light, Like roses miss the dew.
Loving him was easier (than anything I’ll ever do again).

Loving him was easier (than anything I’ll ever do again).
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies, Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies. Turning on the world the way he smiled upon my soul as I lay dying. Healing as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of his eyes. Waking in the morning to the feeling of his fingers on my skin. Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I’ve been. Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying. Talking of tomorrow and the money, love, and time we had to spend. Loving him was easier than anything I’ll ever do again. Coming close together with a feeling that I’ve never known before in my time. He ain’t ashamed to be a man nor afraid to be a friend. And I don’t know the answer to the easy way he opened every door in my mind, But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end, And loving him was easier than anything I’ll ever do again. Loving him was easier than anything I’ll ever do again.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.
In the twilight glow I see her, Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain. When we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we’d never meet again.
Love is like a dyin’ ember, Only memories remain. Through the ages I’ll remember, Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain.
Some day when we meet up yonder, We’ll stroll hand in hand again. And in a land that knows no partin’, Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain.
