for Mandi and Ian's beautiful baby girl born into this world 10/18/09

Congrats to Mandi, Ian and Mr.Finn (who is now a Big brother)!!!!

...this song is special for you and your new little girl...you know Ive already sang it to my lil Maggie a million times!

Other than having your own child...I feel one of the most amazing miracles to witness is seeing another ...have one of there own...the moment that you see a child actually enter the world...straight from the arms of God...into the arms of her mother and father...this is truly a remakable moment!

like I said in my song...I guess Im two for two now...you having babies is a good inspiration for my songwriting...i think it is simply because of how deeply and wonderfully you love your children...I am so thankful to have been there to share in one of the most magnificnet moments of your life....thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this moment with me.


A song for (?) 10/18/09



Baby open up your eyes –ive waited a long time
Just to see you
Baby show me how you smile-for awhile, Ive waited
Just to hold you

And yes-its how it should be
And yes its all it could be

Baby in my arms you’ll stay, cause ive never known a day
to love without you

Baby I hold you oh so tight,
you’re all my might, and for all my life
Oh-how ill love you

And yes-its how it should be
And yes its all it could be

Baby on my chest you lay…so still I stay
As I feel my heart growing

For a girl all of my own, what do I owe
To deserve ...never knowing

And yes-its how it should be
And yes its all it could be

Got It All Down...Friday NightFish Fry...copyright 05

its a good day to be alive...i hope you enjoy tonights fish fry...

one thing is for sure...I should not be a guitar player...any volunteers?????


Got It All Down

Wish I could come home


And see you all dressed up

Maybe if I never left ya



But looks like you got it all down



Wish that’s something I’d of thought of

And known that life would still go on

And we’d both make other plans



Oh it looks like you got it down



Chorus:

But won’t you think of me –as you lay to dream

Won’t you think of me a little in between



And once you get it all down



Wish I could show you

Looks like I’m getting closer

Those steps are getting lesser



And I got it all down



Wish I knew just one way

To do both two things

You know I’ll be sending you this letter



And I hope I got it all down

Chorus

Josie-Friday Night Fish Fry copyright 05

this a very meaningful song to me...wrote a lot of years ago from a personal experience...I heard some news recently that really brought this song back into my mind...I hate sometines to devulge to much info about the meaning of my songs as I would hope that the listener finds his own interpretation...something that is meaningful to him ...something personal...

however some of the "song" background is...while living in Nashville my Daddy would send me some of his song ideas on tape  ...me and him would often come up with some pretty cool stuff together...anyway...he sent me a tape labeled Josie..and told me that -that's who he thought of when he played it....well it was just a guitar chord progression...and I immediately had a melody and words to add to it...then I found the perfect chorus and bridge to add...and ta-da..it was a beautiful co-write...

Josie

I know the time, I know the time wasn’t right

Oh but I’d of sure liked to try

I know the time, I know the time wasn’t mine

But I’d a wrapped you up and held you tight



Josie come fly with me-

We gonna make it alright

Josie come fly with me

We gonna make through the night



You see I don’t know what I’d of said

But I’d of shouted it out real loud anyway

And I wonder sometimes about if things had turned out that way

oh…HOPE…is a new day



Chorus

Bridge:

Come on, come-on Josie

Hold On, hold on Josie

Come on -hold on tight

Josie hold on one more night
