The following are lyrics for country music with a male lead vocalist:
- A Primrose in the Night
-
- Its tough to meet a lady in the bustle of the day
- So many women take the time to simply walk away
- Living life between the sheets don't matter anyhow.
- It's really tough to find Miss Right, much less a Miss Right-now.
-
- Chorus:
- I don't take to excusing for the women of the land
- As every one's a flower fighting through the desert sand
- But flowers never open up before the morning light
- So its hard to tell a thistle from a primrose in the night
-
- When you treat a lass the right way, you may find her in your bed
- When you treat a girl the wrong way, she starts messing with your head
- If that lady has some magic, you may find her as your wife
- If that woman casts her own dark spells, you're stuck with her for life
-
- You see a gentle woman as you look upon her face
- You may see her as sultry or you may see her as grace
- I pray you find a flower with a heart that's kind and true
- I pray she finds a primrose growing deep inside of you.
-
- (c) 1991-1992 David I. Brager

-
- Sometimes life is cruel
-
-
- If you judge a book by the color of the bind
- Then the words on the inside, your soul will never find
- Your eyes may see the world outside, your heart may see the love
- But unless you look within the book, you'll never meet the dove
-
- CHORUS:
-
- Although a woman's hat is white, it doesn't mean she's pure
- And clothes she wears don't say a thing to tell if she's a fool
- As good girls wear their hats in black, you may find your life's cure
- Or find in time that life's unkind and sometimes life is cruel.
-
-
- Some gals wear their western gear after they leave their jobs
- While others get to take theirs off when coming from the range
- And still there's times to put them on and wear the whole day through
- Or when the rush of living life won't give you time to change.
-
- Each woman is a unique blend of color, love and life
- Though God may make some look alike, don't mean they're both the same
- No mirrors can distinguish from the image of the one
- But each heart plays its own part and each strives for its own aim.
-

- (C) 1991 David Brager
