Number 62

Saturday in the sunshine sitting on the patio
Drinking cups of coffee with our guitars in toe
Empty bottles stacked against the yellow porthole door
Memories of shared good times we had the night before
Putting the world to rights weeding woes away
Making pacts and promises to punch dreams into play
The day is young, the day is new
The day is ours at number 62
The sleepy sun now risen warms by cold tan feet
Greets the tree top wind who blows blossom on the street
A plane flies by high in the sky and paints a vapour trail
Makes me think of my footprint and where i long to go
The day is young, the day is new
The day is ours at number 62
Cobwebs dusted into outer space, I feel light and free
Like a feather floating in the air, without a single care
The day is here, the day is ours
The day is young, the day is new
The day is ours at number 62

Still In Love

Thirty three years ago
In mothers house we watched the snow fall
The April Spring was late that year
The daffodils were slow to dance
The dance of the day was ours
Black and white in the Times
Cherished blue souvenirs
Here we are still in love after all these years
You met me after my Charing Cross days
A newly qualified nurse in the sixties
I cared for all made my patients smile
But was yet to find a golden ray for me
I’d fallen in love with the wrong men
Black and blue my heart was through
Until you came to make me feel new
Here we are still in love after all these years
You are my blues skies when the world around me is grey
Greater than any precious stone you stand by me
Strong like the old oak tree watching over the willow tree
And our love gets stronger
Today the sun warms our hearts
In the old greenhouse our memories flow past
Those adventures to the south of France
And soon we’ll be driving the open road
Hair tied back in a blue scarf
Wind blowing against my face
Looking across at you
Here we are still in love after all these years
Still in love after all these years

Love Finds You
03:07

People may fall
In and out of love
Some they get it right
From just the first sight
I stare into your eyes
As blue as the Nordic sea
Silent words we speak
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
When love finds you
When love finds you
Butterflies zig zag inside
Love finds you whether not you want it to
Love finds you when you least expect it to
Different possibilities
In the matrix mapped ahead
Blind or not you know
If it’s right from the get go
A good friend once said
Who are you to say
When a steady hand
And kind smile comes your way
When love finds you
When love finds you
Butterflies zig zag inside
Love finds you whether not you want it to
Sometimes it’s hard o say how you really feel
Scared in case you get it wrong you got to let fear go
Who said you had a choice cos it don’t work that way
Love’s going to find you and turn your world upside down
When love finds you
When love finds you
There’s no rhyme or reason
When love finds you
Butterflies zig zag inside
Love finds you whether not you want it to – (Love finds you)
Love finds you when you least expect it to – (Love finds you)
Love finds you whether not you want it to – (Love finds you)
Love finds you when you least expect it to – (Love finds you)

A Thousand Lives

I feel as if I’ve lived a thousand lives since I last saw you
Time’s flown by both fast and slow and there’s so much I want you to know
I held a baby in my arms unaccustomed to his new world
Our tandem hearts beating as one like the son I’ve never held
I feel as if I’ve lived a thousand lives since I last saw you
A roller coaster ride it’s been with popcorn both salty and sweet
Two Italian angels guided me opened my eyes
To the timeless beauty right beneath the skies
We paint the pictures we join the dots
Carving a line through time
We paint the pictures we join the dots
Carving a line through time
Of a thousand lives I’ve lived and more
I feel as if I’ve lived a thousand lives since I last saw you
Both giant steps and fairy steps I’ve made along the way
I met a man with a homeless heart who’d watch the Thames high and low
And then one day I braved hello and love began to glow
We paint the pictures we join the dots
Carving a line through time
We paint the pictures we join the dots
Carving a line through time
Of a thousand lives I’ve lived and more
Of a thousand lives I’ve lived and more

Peaceful Paradise

Small I maybe but the neighbourhood is good to me
Flowers grace their presence each and every day
Words of love engrave their echoes deep
And when the rainbow arcs the magic starts
Here’s a place a peaceful paradise
Here you’re free a peaceful paradise
