Hello, Central, give me Heaven, for my mother’s there.
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin’ like a breeze
Oh Shenandoah,
I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
For her I’d cross,
Your roaming waters,
Away, I’m bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.
[Recommend linking to the song in question as a new thread meme…]
Every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there’s every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
I’ll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you out of my arms
Still, I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light our way tonight
I’ll see you in my dreams
Only trouble is, gee whiz,
I’m dreaming my life away.
(“All I Have to Do Is Dream” by the Everly Brothers)
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?
I closed my eyes,
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew.
Far, far away
Someone was weeping,
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do.
Take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.
Don’t you understand that the touch of your hand can set me Cryin’?
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.
Now it’s Judy’s turn to cry.
Your words they flatter me, you fill my head with tea
Please let me take it one more mile
The Galaxy will burn if I can’t make it turn
I hope I’m making Judy smile
Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all failed the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I’m in your thighs
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey!
You are my candy girl,
And you got me wanting you.
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good.
Candy on the beach, there’s nothing better
But I like candy when it’s wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I’ll make you mine
Then I’ll have candy all the time
I want candy, I want candy, I want candy, I want candy
I smell sex and candy here
Who’s that lounging in my chair
Who’s that casting devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely is a dream
Yeah mama this surely is a dream
On the good ship Lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bonbons play
On the sunny beach at Peppermint Bay.
