Red Paper Heart

I've got a red paper heart and I'm writing
Your name down on it
I'd give it to ya, but I'm afraid that
You'd disregard it
I saw you walking down by the water
I couldn't take my eyes off of you
I had to know just what to call you
I couldn't bear not to know
I've got a red paper heart and I'm writing
Your name down on it
I'd give it to ya, but I'm afraid that
You'd disregard it
I caught up to where you were walking
I didn't know what to say
But you spoke first, ever so sweetly
You asked me, "What's your name?"
I've got a red paper heart and I'm writing
Your name down on it
I'd give it to ya, but I'm afraid that
You'd disregard it
It's okay to be a hopeless romantic
Falling in love can be a wee bit frantic
It's okay to be a hopeless romantic
Falling in love can be a wee bit frantic
I've got a red paper heart and I'm writing
Your name down on it
I'd give it to ya, but I'm afraid that
You'd disregard it
I've got a red paper heart and I'm writing
Your name down on it
I'd give it to ya, but I'm afraid that
You'd disregard it

City Folks

Take a train at the same time
I do it every morning
Work that job until dark
So we can keep the lights on
I wish that we could be
Just like those folks from the city
I dream about the things they do a
And their different way of living
Dress up and go out
It’s the perfect kind of evening
On the town, spent with you
We could catch a late-night picture
I wish that we could be
Just like those folks from the city
I dream about the things they do a
And their different way of living
Saturday, wake up slow
In our studio apartment
Watch the rain from a cafe
Dream of moving to the country
I wish that we could be
Just like those folks from the city
I dream about the things they do a
And their different way of living
I wish that we could be
Just like those folks from the city
I dream about the things they do a
And their different way of living

Airport Song

We're up before the dawn
Driving southbound towards the city
Her bags are in the back seat
It seems like we don't have a single thing to say
'Cause she's leaving on a plane and it'll take her far away
I can't think of a way to make her stay
I'll be counting down the days
'Til she'll be back in my arms
I'll be counting down the days
'Til she'll be back in my arms
We're pulling up to the curb
There are people all around
We share a long embrace
It feels like there's already distance in between
'Cause she's leaving on a plane and it'll take her far away
I can't think of a way to make her stay
I'll be counting down the days
'Til she'll be back in my arms
I'll be counting down the days
'Til she'll be back in my arms

I've been trying to find
The perfect way to say what's on my mind
You're the only reason I get
Hung up on the words every time, I lose my mind
I may never find the words to say
How my love for you will never fade away
I'll be here for you willing and able
It's a mystery
Why you give your love away to me
But you speak straight to my heart
Every time you land that kiss upon these lips
I may never find the words to say
How my love for you will never fade away
I'll be here for you willing and able
Take my hand as we walk through this life
My love, I need you by my side
I hope you'll need me too
Take my hand as we walk through this life
My love, I need you by my side
I hope you'll need me too
I may never find the words to say
How my love for you will never fade away
I'll be here for you willing and able

I was young and falling hard
For a girl named Chelue
Her gentle heart and her restless soul
She was the light of my world
We’d go walking in that summer heat
Hand in hand
Past the tree line to that railroad bridge
Where we could be alone
Summer passed like it always does
I got a job, you went to school
We went steady like most kids do
Fell in love for the very first time
We’d go dancing on Friday nights
Listen to the band
I’d sing you love songs and you just laughed,
But that was okay
We got married in ‘39
I remember like it was yesterday
I worked that morning and you were mad
But we both laugh about it now
We’d go driving on Sunday afternoons
With the windows down
Past the city and the highway signs
Where we could be free
Looking back on what we had
Oh my dear, I wouldn’t change a thing
Memories, they might come and go
But our love, it stays the same
We’ll be together for the rest of our lives
Until that fateful day
When one of us is called up
To the other side
Carry the light deep in your heart
Don't let it fade away
Don’t cry love, cause I promise you this —
I'll be waiting there, waiting there
I will always, always
I will always love you
I will always, always
I will always love you
