When I Find My Love Someday
( R Lawrence )
When I find my love someday
My heart will know the dreams we made
Come true, and let me hear you say
The words I long to hear you say to me
A voice that moves me
A song that soothes my soul
And stills my searching mind to hear
Whispered words convey your love to me
Holding me dearly, arms that believe me
Trusting that we’ll never be apart
Kissing me sweetly, sweet lips that greet me
Everyday we’ll never be apart
And when I find my love that day
Will be a day when my heart sings
To you and all the love we share
The seed we plant will come to bear we two
And if you’re the one to find my heart
Be gentle with this tender heart
To have and hold this precious ring
A circle bound to share my life with you
Holding me dearly, arms that believe me
Trusting that we’ll never be apart
Kissing me sweetly, sweet lips that greet me
Everyday we’ll never be apart

OVER AND OVER AGAIN (R Lawrence)
Crystal clear nights
Bright stars in the sky
Brings us together
Family is nigh
The shortest day of the year
Loving hope
And happy cheer
A lighter step
A brighter style
A helping hand
The warmest smile
With me
And mistletoe
And kiss over and over and over again
Toast to love
Bonne Anne
The future arrives
On New Years Day
Friends and Accordions
Songs that we know
Children sing laughter
Laughter together
Love last forever
Let it ring true
To be
Together we’ll sing
And sing over and over and over again
Stories we gather
Create to belong
Reflects off the ocean
Or snow in a song
The end and beginning
The old and the new
A chance to look forward
A chance to review
Trust, understanding
The solstice renew
Our love
And spirit true
And love over and over and over again

Play On
(Paul Lacques)
I see his face in every sky
I hold him close every night
And on the radio every love song
Is just for him and me
We walk along as if to say
Forevermore is here to stay
And on the radio every old song
Is just for him and me
And we play on
And so goodnight as if to say
Tomorrow is another day
And on the radio
They only play songs
And we play on

Oxford Town (Ray Bonneville)
A late night rain is rollin’ through
I lie awake in my hotel room
in my mind you’re comin’ on strong
same story line plays on and on
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town
I saw your face
in the shape of a cloud
so far away yet near somehow
I long for you
for no reason at all
it’s been gone through
for some time now
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town
The way she walked
across and away
I nearly called out loud your name
but it was not you
the picture wrong
dreams can fool
and lead you on
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town
I’m goin’ back to Oxford town

Oscar Wilde’s Middle Name ( R. Lawrence )
Oscar Wilde’s middle name
Lives in Ireland, lived in Spain
I would too
Wouldn’t you
Oscar Wilde’s middle name
Rolled a spliff at Ballyvolane
I did too
Wouldn’t you
Like his namesake, he’s pretty witty
Fingal, Wills, or O’Flahertie
Facts are facts, but unnecessary
When your name is
He’s not bound by Hellenic dreams
Nor confounded by Cardinal schemes
He makes cheese and banger too
Works a farm and makes love do
Oscar Wilde’s middle name
He’s not famous; it’s a claim to fame
He doesn’t care
Life’s not fair
In a world that is so complicated
Life’s better while syncopated
Stories rise with a hint of a smile
Live to laugh and seek to beguile
Oscar Wilde’s middle name
Lives in Ireland, lived in Spain
I would too
Wouldn’t you

COME BACK ( R Lawrence )
Love, storied love, they say
As it was, is still today
No truth can greater be
Than your faith in me
There’ll be a time, I know
Together we’ll find, I know
That thread of hope to lead
You back to me
Love rose in evening past
Born true and meant to last
First eyes then hands did touch
Perhaps I loved too much
Dilute these burning tears
Kiss them away
You should be here with me
Come back to stay
No more this cold repast
Memories so firmly cast
My life continues on
Still missing you
Through life’s relentless tide
Our love remained
You lost the final fight
I’ll always love you
Love, storied love, they say
As it was, is still today
No truth can greater be
Than your faith in me
