Lyrics: Love Circles 'Round

1. THERE’S A TRAIN ON THE TRACK

There’s a train on the track…
You can’t slow it down, you can’t turn it around,
There’s a train on the track. Whoo-oo—oo…
When you hear that whistle blow…
It’s comin’ for you, ain’t nothin’ you can do.
When you hear that whistle blow.
Some say this train is goin’ where the glory never ends,
Some say it’s just a long round trip and you’ll be back again.
But you’ve gotta ride on that train… Whoo-oo—oo…
There’s a ticket got your name…
You can’t step aside, you can’t run and hide,
There’s a ticket got your name.
Some say this train is goin’ where the glory never ends,
Some say it’s just a long round trip and you’ll be back again.
But you’ve gotta ride on that train… Whoo-oo—oo

2. LOVE CIRCLES ‘ROUND

Sunday afternoon in the early spring,
Me and Daddy workin’ on my Chevy, I just turned sixteen.
We hooked up an eight-track, I never heard a sound so sweet.
I thanked my dad but I didn’t know how much he’d given me.
Love circles ‘round, that’s the way it goes.
How far and which way, heaven only knows.
And It’s in the giving where a gift is truly found.
And the story never ends when love circles ‘round, circles ‘round.
Sunday afternoon not so long ago,
My daughter said “Daddy, something’s wrong with my stereo.”
There by her car in the light she held for me,
I could almost see my dad and what he’d given me.  Love circles ‘round…
All things in this world in time will slowly fade,
But the gift of love keeps giving, it never goes away.  Love circles ‘round…

3. SWEET MAGNOLIAS, HONEYSUCKLE VINE

There was a place, there was a time,
Sweet magnolias, honeysuckle vine,
Gold fish swimmin’ ‘round in a gold fish pond,
We thought those days would go on and on and on.
We didn’t have a lot, we didn’t miss a thing,
We played in the sunshine and we played in the rain.
Every day was better than the day before,
But it’s not like that much anymore.
Sometimes when I remember, I can feel a little sad.
But then a smile crosses my face and I’m just glad for the times I had.
Nothin’ lasts forever, one day the stars -they all will fall.
I don’t look back now and regret when things are gone,
I’m just happy they happened at all.

4. ANGELINE

Everything in my life changed for me
The day I met Angeline.
‘Cause everything about her was everything to me.
I found again my long- lost dreams, the man I used to be.
And when she sang, I swear I believe, I could hear the voice of God,
Angeline, I could hear the voice of God, Angeline.

5. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

There’s a big old redbird sittin’ on a limb,
He’s lookin’ at me and I’m lookin’ at him,
And everything is good right here right now.
The redbird’s singin’ and I’m playin’ a song,
And it’s almost like he’s singin’ along,
‘Cause everything is good right here right now.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow’s still a mystery,
The only place that I can be is right here right now.
Time won’t stop, won’t stand still, never has and it never will.
But everything is good right here right now. Doo -doo-doo…
Well, there’s a big old redbird sittin’ in a tree,
I’m lookin’ at him an’ he’s lookin’ at me,
And everything is good right here right now. Doo-doo-doo…

6. THE SUN IN COLORADO

I’ve seen the sun in Colorado in the morning rising high in the mountain sky.
Heard the whisper of the wind, like a song that just won’t ever end,
And the sound of a snow-melt creek running by.
I’ve seen a thousand tiny diamonds sparkle on the Gulf of Mexico.
Sand dollars I have found at my feet and all around.
I’ve been the richest man I think I’ve ever known.
All the beauty in this world from the mountains to the sea,
Can’t hold a candle to what I see when I see you smile at me.
There are treasures in your eyes and the mountain never took me this high.
All the beauty in this world from the mountains to the sea
Can’t hold a candle to what I see when I see you smile at me.
I’ve seen the sun in Colorado.

7. EASY MONEY

So many stories, so many ways,
But in the end, they’re all the same.
Easy money, easy money, easy money gonna bring you down.
I want it now, don’t want to wait,
Cut me a deal, give me a break.
Easy money, easy money, easy money surely bring you down.
Somethin’ for nothin’, what’s in it for me?
His grass is greener than any I’ve ever seen.  Easy money…
Some like the shadows away from the light.
They know in their hearts that it just ain’t right.

8. YOU BEING YOU

If you didn’t make me smile, make my heart skip a beat,
Turn me upside down, sweep me off my feet.
If you didn’t do anything at all like you do,
It’d still be true I’d still love you.
And if you didn’t light me up, put a twinkle in my eye,
Make me feel like a kid, make me feel so high,
If you didn’t do anything at all like you do,
It’d still be true I’d still love you.
It’s not the things that you do like you do.
It’s just you being you.
And I’m the lucky one, got a dream come true
Every time I see you being you.

9. THE PULL OF THE EARTH

You’ll never see the pull of the earth,
You can’t see the push of the wind.
Tomorrow’s not here, yesterday’s gone,
I’ll never be there again.
I’ll never see your memory,
There’s no way I can show mine to you.
Though we can’t see them, or touch them or hold them,
That doesn’t make them untrue.
Sunsets and rainbows, the warmth of a smile,
Laughter of a trusted old friend.
All of these things one day will fade,
That doesn’t mean they will end.
Whatever has been always will be,
And in time can be even more.
Though we can’t see them, or touch them or hold them,
That’s what the heart is for, that’s what your heart is for.

10. SMILE AGAIN

I know someday I’m gonna smile again
When I remember how and why again.
These days will fade, they always do
And the clouds open up and the sun shines through.
And I’m gonna smile, smile again. I’m gonna smile, smile again.
I know someday I’ll see the light again.
I Know it’s gonna be alright again.
I keep believing there’s a better day
And it’s just ahead and it’s on my way. And I’m gonna smile ….
It doesn’t matter if I stumble or fall
I don’t have to stay down I can rise above it all.
These days will fade, they always do
And the clouds open up and the sun shines through.

11. I DON’T ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOU (SONG FOR MILLIE)

I don’t always think about you, still you’re always on my mind.
Like the sky above a cloudy day, you are the sun that always shines.
My world is brighter, my troubles a little lighter,
I couldn’t feel any finer than I do when I think about you.
I don’t always think about you, but when I do the sun it always shines.
Doodle loodle loodle loodle, loodle, loodle loodle loodle loo-oo ….

12. PICKING UP APPLES

There by the window day after day,
Watching the world fading away.
Seeing things only she can see
Looking back in her memory.
She sees them picking up apples out in the yard by the tree no longer there.
She sees the garden they planted, rose bushes, too,
Everything looks so clear in the yard by the tree no longer there.
Things keeps on changing, moving so fast.
Blink your eyes and it’s all in the past.
Precious days, times gone by.
She sees again when she closes her eyes.
She sees her grandbabies chasing each other ‘round the tree no longer there.
She sees the lightning bugs twinkle like tiny stars, magic everywhere,
In the yard by the tree no longer there.
I go back now and then, just to stand out in the yard and know it all again.
I see us picking up apples out in the yard…

13. MAY THE LIGHT SHINE BRIGHT ON YOU

May the light shine bright on you.
May you find love forever true.
May your life be long and your heart be strong,
May the light shine bright on you.
May the light shine bright on you.
May the dreams you dream come true.
May you find your way on the darkest day,
May the light shine bright on you.
