AMARILLO


Verse 1:

How I love your faded skies
Vapoured sighs,
the clouds...descend 'til the evening end

Soon the stars stir the night
I think I might begin...
to dream of your light once again...

Chorus:

Amarillo...
   Shine on my eyes soft and low
      Should all the wind cease to blow,
         I'll be there
She's a willow,
   swayin' 'til I'm on my pillow
      When I'm home,
         I know you'll be there...

Verse 2:

What will you bring to me?
Symphony,the dawn
Oh,how could the evening have gone?

Till shadows are long
I belong to you
How I'm wishin' this dream's never through...

Chorus:

Amarillo...
   Shine on my eyes soft and low
      Should all the wind cease to blow,
         I'll be there
She's a willow,
   swayin' 'til I'm on my pillow
      When I'm home,
         I know you'll be there...

Bridge:

When I'm home to you,
I'll sleep softly there in your skies
Quiet now,
   quiet now,
      the stars are rollin' on by...

Chorus:

Amarillo...
   Shine on my eyes soft and low
      Should all the wind cease to blow,
         I'll be there
She's a willow,
   swayin' 'til I'm on my pillow
      When I'm home,
         I know you'll be there...

Thank you so much,June! This is a song that I wrote after a trip to see my sis down in Texas (Dallas,that is).Didn't get anywhere close to Amarillo,but it is much more lyrical,music-wise,than Dallas,if you catch my drift Currently,I'm arranging this and have a fellow down in Nashville (who handles Alan Jackson,among others)waiting for it.
Wish me luck!

Peace,Geoffrey

Geoffrey; I can hear the music! The words are lyrical of themselves. Is there a CD of your music that I can purchase? I also want to thank you for your caring e-mail. Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
