Crazy Tryin’

When Willie sang he was crazy for tryin’,I always thought he was lyin’,Cause for her I’d go wherever the wind blows. And here I am, without you, and I’m feelin’ so blue,But now tryin’s just gettin’ too old. Oh I’ll go on for awhile,Just to see that sweet smile,I’ll keep tryin’ and cryin’ for you.

A Splash Of Sun

When life seemed dull and full of gray, she came along and brought me better days. I was filled with warmth but it wasn’t the sun’s- The feeling that made me realize you were the one. But what happens next neither me nor you could know, we got older, the warmth faded, and apart we…
