Read Your Letters Read your letters again today The ones I tucked away in vain The last time I saw you walk away The first speaks of wishes and hints A boyish desire for a first kiss Inviting me to the summer dance in May The one in the green envelope Tells me I'm the one you hope To have and hold till we grow old Pray our child wears my smile Promises of a wedding day The letter with heather pressed inside Spring winds still remind Sweet days spent side by side Youth made us forget the tide Hand in hand full of pride Thinking no end to this ride Read your letters again today Pulled the ribbon I tied to stay The last time I saw you walk away Read your letters again today Just to hear all you had to say Before I saw you walk away The pages scented in your cologne How I love to hold them close Tears smear the ink upon the page Miss you love With your fountain pen Wishing you could write me again Maybe my heart would mend Miss you love With your tussled red Wishing you could write me again Maybe I’ll mend Read your letters over and over amen Starting with the first until they end Then I began again

Linger 03:40
Linger Written by Wendy Parr Can I linger Like a lilac about to bloom in early spring Linger while you watch over me Can I linger Like cool water trickling like a stream Linger while you drink of me You never know where life will go Take all you have and hold it close Before it's over Let Me Linger Can I linger Like the fragrance you left inside my bed Lasts longer and runs deeper Than any words you said Can I linger Like the velvet whispers on your lips Melt on honey coated Promises that drip You never know where life will go Take all you have and hold it close Before it's over Let Me Linger

Lucky Penny 03:22
Lucky Penny Written by Wendy Parr Gonna rub my lucky penny Rub my lucky charm Gonna rub my lucky penny And send prayers to God I come from the deep dark South Men are gentleman our women proud Tip a straw hat how do you do Walking tall in Levies and buck shoes Come to this big ‘ol city Swinging a dream and a prayer By witness I’ll make something of myself ya’all all know my name I swear CHRS 
Been to the dime store to the butcher Down by the docks and the auto garage Not a one steady job for me No one takes to my cause Found a hole in my pocket This month turned a little cold Big industry town she ain’t so friendly If the truth be told A little worn on the leather But keeping a stiff upper lip Still know how to smile Even after I’ve been kicked CHRS Mame maybe you could help me Surely sir could spare dime Haven’t had a proper meal in a while Ain’t worked in some time Got no big education But that don’t make me no fool Young strong and willing I just need me a chance to prove CHRS

Old Familiar 03:47
Old Familiar Written by Wendy Parr Welcome back I hear the screen door Doesn’t seem so long now your back for more Old familiar I seen you before So familiar hard to ignore Imagine you’ve come to even the score Don’t now how much I’ve learned since you packed If do the math I may have to subtract Don’t know how much has changed in fact Things are just as you left them all intact I’ve tried to fight you Beg you to leave Don’t you believe When I tell you these things I’ve asked for answers But the question’s still king You keep returning Leave me empty Old familiar I’m under your spell You’ve broken my heart like a silent bell Ringing loud in my ear Ringing I don’t want to hear The silence you bring year after year You ain’t no friend just a familiar tear Welcome back I hear the screen door Doesn’t seem so long and your back for more Old Familiar I seen you before So familiar hard to ignore Can’t you tell I don’t want you anymore Old familiar Don’t settle in I know you well but you’re not my friend
