1. OLD GUITAR

    -Ted Wilson

Sometimes just a strum on an old guitar, 

    can make you feel better, 

    make you feel better by far. 

When life closes in and the road gets hard, 

   stop and take a deep breath, strum on an old  guitar.

V

Sometimes just a laugh with a dear old friend 

    can make you feel better,

    set your broken heart to mend.

 When life closes in, seems like the end 

    stop and count your blessings, have a laugh with a dear old friend.

C

Trapped in time and space,

  in our own way we all seek God's face.

The truth we must embrace,

   the heart... is a complicated place.

V

Sometimes just the still of a starry night,Old

    can make you feel better,

    and set the world aright.

When life's closin in it's gonna be alright.

  Take the time to lay back, and be still on a starry night.

2. Alive 2B With You

  -Ted Wilson

I could only remember, 

   cold Decembers
then you walked in
  and warmed my heart

I surrendered
  to love so tender,
And this love feels like
  a brand new start.

 

Now every morning
  when I wake up
I thank God that I'm alive.
  I'm alive to be with you.
It's your smile 
  that starts the day up.
Makes me glad that I'm alive
  I'm alive to be with you.

Where would I go?
  What would I do?
If we had never met,
 would I have found love true?
From the day I took 
  my first breath,
til the day that 
  I should find death,
I'm alive to be with you.
  I'm alive to be with you!

 

You, you are my sunshine
  you make me feel fine,
like I could jump and
  I could touch the sky.

You came on a moonbeam,
  you are my daydream,
And I have never 
   felt so high! 

 

 

3. Dinosaurs and Storybooks

  - Ted Wilson

The Colorado Mountains
  were misty as a smokey old pool hall
Now the Utah sky is on fire
  the setting sun's about to burn us all.
I've got dinosaurs and story books
  I'm heading to the land of let's pretend.
To southern California where my son 
  and grandsons live at rainbow's end.

 

As the old man in the mirror stares back at me
   and tries to understand
How plans and dreams can slip away
   with time like Pacific ocean sand.
But I've got dinosaurs and story books
   and I'm not too old to Rock and Roll my friend

and  the best dreams that have come true for me
   are the ones I never planned

 

Time is a thief
  and time is brief
but take my hand and we may stand
  for a time, our time

 

The Vegas lights are shining
   Like reflections very shallow pond.
I hope I make a difference with my life before time to move on
But I've got dinosaurs and story books
 Dinosaurs don't lie about their age,
and stories always end much brighter when little fingers turn the page.

 

 

4. Wedding Band

  - Ted Wilson

Are you still wearing your wedding band? 
so long ago I placed it on your left hand
I'm still holding on for all I can 
do you still love to let it show 
maybe it sounds crazy but I gotta know
 are you holding on or letting go?

 

Sometimes in life we see
That love is not what we thought it would be
but we can change I know we can 
are you wearing your wedding band?

 

 Did you get those flowers I sen
t to remind you of all the good times we've spent
 and the years as they came and went?
 I love you with all my heart
 I don't always show it but I'm going to start
 it tears me up that we are apart

 

Sometimes in life we see
That love is not what we thought it would be
but we can change I know we can 
are you wearing your wedding band?

 

I cast this bottle to the sea
 hoping your love will come back to me 
no matter how deep and dark the night 
where there's a shadow there's always a light
