A Christmas Card
Trucking, trucking 'round the country blue,
I hope this card catches up to you.
If you get it before Christmas, GREAT!
If you get it after Christmas, you were late!
All in all, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
All the more, I hope you will be here.
Happy Birthday, Sweetheart
To my Sweetheart with love.
You're the one I'm always thinking of.
You're in my dreams, night and day.
I can't sleep well when you're away.
I love you so much
I can't wait to feel you're touch.
To My Love
To my love that's always on my mind.
When I wake in the morning, you make the sun shine.
When you kiss me I'm butter in your hands.
There's no one else like you in all the land.
Sometimes, you make me so mad!
Then, you turn 'round and make me glad.
I guess we were just meant to be!
You and me, baby. You and me.
My Little Angel In Heaven
My little baby at two days old passed away.
That was my saddest day.
I prayed and prayed he would live.
He still died and, God, I could not forgive.
I felt He didn't hear me, or didn't care.
My first born was gone and this I couldn't bare.
A month and two days later my dad died.
I asked, "God? Why, why?"
First my baby, then my dad.
I asked, "What have I done so bad?"
Was I being punished for something I've done?
Didn't I know losing faith, the devil won.
I had to get my faith back and fast!
And now that I have it, it will forever last.
My baby and my father are up in heaven with our lord,
Someday, I will also go threw that door.
Happy Anniversary, Mother and Father-in-Law
To my Mother and Father-in-law, I wish you the best.
It's your 39th anniversary, you've gone through so many tests.
You two were truly meant to be.
So many years together, this you can see.
You've had your ups. You've had your downs.
You've had your smiles. You've had your frowns.
This is what love is all about.
You two were made for each other without a doubt!
I hope this day is filled with cheer,
Because, to me, you two are very dear.
