Daddy's Girl

On shoulders high, my world complete
I learned my dance upon you feet.

The Winning Post

The thief who stole your final years
Ran sweetly smiling from the scene
As lonely in your room
you lay
Beside the love that now you dream.

Constant Song

I loved you in the morning light
...in the noonday sun
...in the afternoon
...when the day was done.

The Yellow Rose Of Texas

A creaking wooden rocking chair
Hides the sounds that sadness makes.

Compromise

I called a spade a spade and wielded
The sword of truth that can't be shielded.

The Young Pretender

I was a fresh contender
The first to raise the game
Such hopes to hold a winning hand
To tell the losing team my name.

Cold


The day that lay beyond was cold
As cold as midnight's darkest dream.

Tilly

How could a girl as sweet as she
Love you any more, Tilly?
