Love Again

I'd love to be with you my dear
When life seems dark and cold
To love away the clouds of gray
And let the flowers grow

I'd love to be with you my dear
When storms of life they roll
To hold you in my loving arms
Till rainbows start to show

I'd love to be your dreamboat
Your captain of the sea
Wherever on life's sea you go
You would sail with me

I'd love to be your valentine
A grand thing it would be
To love you till the end of time
Throughout eternity

With love that flows so deep and wide
A love that has no end
So sail your boat upon the tide
And learn to love again

In Memory Of You

Today I wake and face the dawn
With it's morning dew
Walking down life's trail alone
In memories dear of you.

Each day I pass the garden gate
Where you and I would swing
And stand beneath the apple tree
Where we sat in spring.

I walk by the mill pond
Where we use to play
And learned to fish, and make a wish
I make one ever day.

I stop to see a daffodil
Sometimes I pick a rose
How much like you they seem to be
Heaven only knows.

Now my steps are getting slow
My path is near it's end
Soon they'll lay me down I know
To be with you again.

SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS

WITH SWEETHEART I GO WALKING
ACROSS THE FIELDS OF GREEN
DOWN BY THE OLD MILL POND
THE SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS

WE WALK BENEATH THE APPLE TREE
WHERE LOVE AND FRAGRANCE GROW
WE WALKED ALONG THE HILL SIDE
COVERED WHITE WITH SNOW

I STOPED AND PICKED A FLOWER
SO SWEET AND FRESH IT SEEMS
AND GAVE IT TO MY SWEETHEART
THE SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS

WE LOVED BENEATH THE MOONLIGHT
WE DANCED WHERE ROBINS SING
WE KISSED GOODNIGHT, BRFORE DAYLIGHT
THE SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS

NOW WHEN TWILIGHT DEEPENS
AND WIND CHIMES SOFTLY RING
WITH SWEETHEART I'LL GO WALKING
WITH SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS

DEAR JOHN

I WENT THROUGH SOME LETTERS
THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS
SOME WOULD MAKE YOU SMILE AND LAUGH
SOME WOULD BRING YOU TEARS

As I FUMBLED THROUGH THEM
AND RECALLED THEM ONE BY ONE
I FOUND ONE ALL DIMED WITH AGE
JUST AN OLD DEAR JOHN

AS I READ THE FADING LINES
LIKE IN BYGONE YEARS
JUST LIKE MANY YEARS AGO
MY EYES THEY FILLED WITH TEARS

WHEN I GOT THAT LETTER
WHER SHE SAID GOODBY
MY WHOLE WORLD JUST CRUMBLED DOWN
I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD DIE

ALL DOWN AND BROKEN HEARTED
I WENT WITH UNCLE SAM
TO THE FOREIGN BATTLE FIELDS
KOREA AND VET NAM

FIFTY YEARS OR MORE IT'S BEEN
SINCE I GOT THAT ONE
YET TONIGHT, I'M STILL WEEPING
OVER THAT , ONE DEAR JOHN
