You can always find me here:
This song was inspired by the BBC series
"The Duchess of Duke Street". If you haven't seen it and intend to at some
point, you should NOT watch this video or read the lyrics--SPOILERS! Also,
this song is full of cliches and meant to sound like an early-1900's
sentimental song. It's Charlie singing to Louisa. The notes below the lyrics
are total SPOILERS. You have been warned!
Louisa
Apples and oranges and peaches and limes
All in the past were all our good times
Save them and frame them you said we should do
Memories sweet for when things are blue.
But love still springs forever, my dear
Love so strong and so true
Wait for me, darling, say you'll be mine
When I come home to you.
Now we're together but Fate makes its plans
So little time and out of our hands
I'll love you always, it's you I adore
I'll meet you again on that golden shore.
Please smile for me, love, eyes shining bright
Keep our dear place alight
You kept me going, your laugh and smile
All that weary long while.
Apples and oranges and peaches and limes
Never forget our wonderful times
Bring back the sweetness and joy we once knew
And know that forever, dear, I love you.
And know that forever, dear, I love you.
This song follows some parts of Louisa's and Charlie's life,
chronologically:
1st verse: When Charlie learns of his and Louisa's baby and
offers to marry her.
2d verse: Their night in France
3d verse: Charlie returns from France, wounded.
4th & 5th verses: Charlie's letter, afterward, to Louisa,
delivered from the lawyer's office.

Singin'
in my pajamas! Well, I thought I'd better do something a little bit unusual
for my 300-subscribers-celebration video on YouTube!

This is a summer-memories song. It's
my first entry for the Bring The Song
Project. Basically, I'm to write a song a month for this. Lyrics below
the video.
Bring Them Back
Lemon custard ice cream, sprinklers running high
Beach balls, hula hoops and more, summer days do fly
Bring them back, simpler times
Bring him back, brother mine
Bicycles and scooters, cap guns, lightning bugs
Jump ropes, marbles, hopscotch, non-existent hugs
Some things good, some things not
Pallet beds, days so hot
Daddy's garden ripens, canning jars and heat
Screen door slams, don't let in flies, back porch, take a seat
Bring them back, summers mine
Bring them back, easy times
Memories all jumbled, years melt down the drive
Daddy working on the car, now he's not alive
Bring them back, family mine
Bring them back, complex times
Sonny's friends and root beer, summer storm and rain
Me allowed upon the porch, little sister, "pain"
Bring him back, I'll be good
Why he left not understood
Bring them back, family mine
Bring them back, simpler times
