I Would Like To See You Again.

I Would Like To See You Again.

Vocals: The late, great American country music singer, songwriter, Don Williams [Donald Ray Williams] (1939 – 2017).
Lyrics: The late American songwriter Charlie Craig (1938 – 2011).

I Would Like To See You Again.

I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about some old times,
Some old times, some old friends,
And suddenly it came across my mind,
I would like to see you again.
Remember how we used to walk and talk,
Walk and talk, holdin’ hands,
We said we loved each other I recall,
We made a lot of future plans.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
It’s funny how a feeling will come back,
It’ll come on back, make you blue,
Cause I just saw a picture in my mind,
Bout a time, of me and you.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
And tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
Yes the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.

A Song For A Sunday.

What A Wonderful World.

Lyricists: American record producer Bob Thiele and American songwriter and arranger George David Weiss.
Vocals: American trumpeter and vocalist Louis Daniel Armstrong (nicknamed “Satchmo”).

What A Wonderful World.

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.

The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”
.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more,
Than I’ll ever know,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Pledging My Love.

Pledging My Love.

Forever my darling, our love will be true,
Always and forever, I’ll love only you.
Just promise me darling, your love in return,
May this fire in my soul dear, forever burn.
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold,
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal.
I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days,
I’ll never part from you and your loving ways.
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold,
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal.
I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days,
I’ll never part from you and your loving ways.

The Pilgrim.

The Pilgrim.

Lyrics and Vocals: American country music singer, songwriter and actor; sadly the recently deceased Kris Kristofferson (1936-2024).

The Pilgrim.

See him wasted on the side walk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearing yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile.
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams,
Which he spent like they was going out of style.
And he keeps right on a changing for the better or the worse,
Searching for a shrine he’s never found,
Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse,
Or if the going up is worth to coming down.
He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher,
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned.
He’s a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today.
Running from his devils Lord and reaching for the stars,
And losing all he loved along the way.
But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse,
All he ever gets is older and around.
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse,
The going up was worth the coming down.
He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher,
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned.
He’s a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction,
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There’s lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

Make You Feel My Love.

Make You Feel My Love.

Lyrics: American singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman).
Vocals: American country singer and songwriter, Garth Brooks (Troyal Garth Brooks).

Make You Feel My Love.

When the rain’s blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I would offer you a warm embrace,
To make you feel my love.
The evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years,
To make you feel my love.
Though you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong,
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue,
There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do,
To make you feel my love.
Storms are raging on a rolling sea,
Down the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free, yeah,
But you ain’t seen nothing like me yet.
There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do,
Go to the ends of the earth for you,
Make you happy, make your dreams come true,
To make you feel my love.
