We Had It All.

We Had It All.

Lyrics: Written by American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Troy Seals and the late American session musician, keyboardist and songwriter Donnie Ray Fritts.
Vocals: American recording artist and twice Grammy Award winner Ms Rita Coolidge.

We had it all.

I can hear the wind blowing in my mind,
Just the way it used to sound,
Through the Georgia pines,
And you were there to answer when I called,
You and me we had it all.
Remember how I used to touch your hair?
While reaching for the feeling,
That was always there.
You were the best thing in my life I recall,
You and me, Lord knows we had it all.
Know I can’t re-live those times again,
So I just let my dreams take me back,
To where we’ve been.
I’ll stay right there with you just as long as I can,
Oh it was so good, yes it was so good,
Oh it was so good when your were my man.
I’ll never stop believing in your smile,
Even though you didn’t stay,
It was all worthwhile.
You were the best thing in my life I recall,
You and me, Lord knows we had it all.
Oh yes, you and me we had it all.
You and me we had it all.

Secret To How To Please Your Wife.

Ode de Toilet.

Lyrics and Vocals: American country music singer, songwriter, guitarist and three time Grammy Award winner Brad Paisley.

Ode de Toilet.

She says not to buy her flowers,
Or big expensive gifts.
She says she don’t want jewelry,
And she doesn’t need another dress.
If I want to show her how much I adore her,
The best way that I’ve found,
Is to make sure when I’m finished,
I put that toilet seat down.
We’ve been to counciling,
To try and see the ways we could improve,
This thing between us,
And different ways to show each other “I love you”.
Forget about those getaway vacations,
To romantic coastal towns,
If you want to say “I love you”,
Then put that toilet seat down.
‘Cause in the middle of the night,
It’s cold and it’s dark,
And when I hear my name in vain,
I know I haven’t done my part.
She just wants me to support her,
And the best way that I’ve found,
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch,
I put that toilet seat down.
I know it’s kind of funny,
You can teach a little puppy,
But it’s very hard to train a grown man,
When I’m all about my business,
And the path of least resistance,
She’s the one that suffers in the end.
In the middle of the night,
It’s cold and it’s dark,
And when I hear my name in vain,
I know I haven’t done my part.
She just wants me to support her,
And the best way that I’ve found,
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch,
I put that toilet seat down.
Down, down.

Please Don’t Go.

Please Don’t Go.

On the eve of its tenth anniversary, Co. Cork singer and songwriter Stephanie Rainey brought her timeless anthem ‘Please Don’t Go’ to a whole new audience when she appeared on the TV series ‘America’s Got Talent’ on Tuesday June 25th, last, 2024.

The song she sung was dedicated to her one-year-old nephew, Fionn, who tragically lost his life to meningitis, when aged just one year old.

I dare our older readers not to shed a tear, as we think back, lovingly, on the hands we have held under similar circumstances in the past.

Please Don’t Go.

Lyrics and Vocals: Stephanie Marie Rainey.

I’ll hold your hand till it goes cold.
I’ll hold my tears until you go,
With all the life that leaves your bones,
It soaks the purpose from my own.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
I love you more than you could know.
You’ve got a hole inside my soul.
It’s like a mountain soaked in snow.
It’s in the earth the river flows.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
I’ve kept my own side of the bed,
Thinking you’d be home again.
I hold myself so I can sleep,
My pillow holds the screams of me.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
So lay yourself down on my chest,
‘Cause I know how to hold you best.
I’ll keep you through these last few breaths,
And kiss and love you till the end.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.
Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go.

Mississippi.

Mississippi.

Lyrics: Dutch composer and lyricist Werner Theunissen of the 70s Dutch country music band ‘Pussycat’.
Vocals: ‘Pussycat’ singers Toni Willé, Marianne Veldpaus and Betty Dragstra.

Mississippi.

Where you can hear a country song from far,
And someone play the honky-tonk guitar.
Where all the lights will go out one by one,
The people join the song and the wind takes it away.
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea,
And lovers found the place they’d like to be.
How many times before the song was ending?
Love and understanding everywhere around.
Mississippi,
I’ll remember you.
Whenever I should go away,
I’ll be longing for the day,
That I will be in Greenville again.
Mississippi,
You’ll be on my mind.
Every time I hear this song,
Mississippi roll along,
Until the end of time.
Now the country song forever lost its soul,
When the guitar player turned to rock ‘n’ roll,
And every time when summer nights are fallin’,
I will always be callin’, dreams of yesterday.
Mississippi,
I’ll remember you.
Whenever I should go away,
I’ll be longing for the day,
That I will be in Greenville again.
Mississippi,
You’ll be on my mind.
Every time I hear this song,
Mississippi roll along,
Until the end of time.
Every time I hear this song,
Mississippi roll along,
Until the end of time.

A Song For A Sunday.

Come As You Are.

Vocals: American contemporary Christian music singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and author, David Crowder.
Lyrics: Canadian contemporary Christian music (CCM) artist, songwriter Matt Maher; worship leader American songwriter and producer Ben Glover and vocalist David Crowder,

Come As You Are.

Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been,
Come broken hearted, let rescue begin.
Come find your mercy, oh, sinner come kneel,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame.
All who are broken, lift up your face.
Oh, wanderer come home, you’re not too far.
Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart,

Come as you are.
There’s hope for the hopeless and all those who’ve strayed,
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace.
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures,
Earth has no sorrow, that heaven can’t cure.
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame.
All who are broken, lift up your face.
Oh, wanderer come home, you’re not too far.
Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart, come as you are,

Come as you are, fall in his arms,
Come as you are.
There’s joy for the mourning, oh, sinner be still,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame,
All who are broken, lift up your face.
Oh, wanderer come home, you’re not too far.
Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart, come as you are,

Come as you are.
