a little bit of


 Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations

To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall

Her man says, 'Baby, can I make an observation?You don't seem to be having any fun at allShe said, 'You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-sizeAnd rest assured that this is making me feel goodI think that love is so much easier than you realizeIf you can give yourself to someoneThen you should
'Cause it's a little bit of everythingThe way you joke, the way you acheIt is getting up before youSo I can watch you as you wakeSo in the day in late SeptemberIt's not some stupid little ringI'm giving a little bit of everything

Here's wishing...


 Here's wishing you the bluest sky

And hoping something better comes tomorrowHoping all the verses rhymeAnd the very best of choruses, tooFollow all the doubt and sadnessI know that better things are on the way

anyone can whistle


 I can slay a dragon

Any old week-
Easy.
What's hard is simple.
What's natural comes hard.
Maybe you could show me
How to let go,
Lower my guard,
Learn to be free.
Maybe if you whistle,
Whistle for me.

wherever I go

 



There's a place in my heartThough we're far apartMay you always knowNo matter how long since I saw youI'll keep a flame there for you
Wherever I go
Wherever I go - Mark Knopfler
    

the Most

 


 
Someday well I'll look back and wonder
Someday comes around quicker than they told you
Asking, "Did I do, what I was suppose to?"
In my life

Don't know why the little things make us and sometimes it takes us
Too damn long to figure out what matters the most...
My life is green grass through the snow
A sweet reckless hope
And, baby, I know what matters the most

-The Most- Lori McKenna

morningside

 



Don't want to waste what I have to give

In any of the time that I've got left
I can do more than I thought I could
Work brings more luck than knocking on wood
There's random bad and random good
Work brings more good luck

Better be off
I've got dreams to dream
Though it seems uphill and a little extreme
If I can find hope in this fading light
Then I'll find you on the morningside

love is pleasing




 Oh love is pleasin' and love is teasin'

And love is a pleasure when first it's newBut as it grows older sure the love grows colderAnd it fades away like the morning dew
And love and porter makes a young man olderAnd love and whiskey makes him old and greyAnd what can't be cured love has to be endured loveAnd now I am bound for America

love is pleasing- the Dubliners
