When the Full Moon Climbs Again
When the full moon climbs again over the Catalina mountains
Will it find you sittin' here next to me?
When the full moon climbs again over the Catalina mountains
May this loneliness be a memory
You're living in my tomorrow
I'm living in your yesterday
Yet your heart beats for me strongly
Half a world away
Though the whole world lies between us
Ocean shores on ocean shores
I'll wait for you with hope unfailing
Till farewells are heard no more
I Remember, I Recall
I remember, I recall
The breakfast table, new day's dawn
A place for one and all
Pancakes hot and Mama's smile
In the morning light
Whatever work you do today
Be sure that its done right.
I remember, I recall.
Memories, memories, memories
I remember, I recall
Swimming in the river
Thrills for one and all
Hiking rugged mountain trails
Weary to the bone
Let me carry your load for you
Together we'll get home.
I remember, I recall.
Memories, memories, memories
I remember, I recall
Evenings by the fireside
Room for one and all
Stories of the yesteryear
Stories of the day
And the fire's glow keeping
The dark and storm away.
I remember, I recall.
Memories, memories, memories
Memories, memories, memories
By the Light of the Moon
By the light of the moon
I will draw water from the well
By its silvery rays
I will wash my cares away
Where the white roses bloom
In the cool of the night I will bathe
Star shine in my eyes, kindle my joy
By the light of the moon
By the light of the moon
I will cross rivers dark and wide
By its silvery trail
Footsteps true will find the way
Where the memories of home
And horizons dim promise day
Moonshadow's pale glow, strengthen my hope
By the light of the moon
By the light of the moon
I will wend my way back to you
May its silvery lines
Lead me to my heart's desire
There secure in your arms
Every lingering doubt fades away
Let me always be here, found in your love
By the light of the moon
Chalk Up Another Memory
Warm waves washing the Gulf Coast shores
White gulls stranding thru the blue skies
Salt seaweed steaming on the bright sand
Chalk up another memory – together, again.
Refrain:
Some we've forgotten, some better let lie,
Some lets hang onto 'til the day that we die.
Who we are now is not who we'll be,
But you'll always be you, and I'll always be me.
Skybird window, my head on your shoulder,
Sun sinking orange to the purple sea
Wide world turning, new day rising
Chalk up another memory - together, again.
Cornbread and blackbeans, lamplight gleaming
on the sweet faces of those we hold dear,
Down the wood table your smile is beaming
Chalk up another memory – together, again.
When it's All Said and Done
When it's all said and done, will the mystery be rerun?
Is there a reason for the rainbow in the sky?
When it's all said and done, life's brief struggle in the sun,
Without a storm, those colors surely cannot fly.
Lilacs blooming at my door, baby crawling on the floor,
Time to sit and talk with my old friend
All the hurry in my life, is not what I'll keep in mind,
But the breathing, and the seeing, and the knowing in the wind.
When it's all said and done, will the race truly be won,
By the fittest and the fastest and the strong?
When it's all said and done, my bet's on the simple ones
Who stay the course and keep their eyes on God's own Son.
