These are just songs that mean a lot to me, a couple I think are sweet and romantic and a couple of very sad but still sweet ones.....

"Next to Heaven"
Aaron Watson

Pinch me I must be dreaming
Waking up with you and feelin' the tender touch of
your good morning kiss no where else on earth is better
than being next to you
next to heaven it doesn't get any better than this
Chorus
Next to Heaven lies my fate
my best friend and my soul mate
God knows this kind of love
only comes from up above
your the answer to my prayers
nothing else compares
cause I'm next to heaven
when I'm next to you
And you look just like an angel
tangled in white satin sheets
lying there with you hair all in a mess
And I swear you look your best
all dressed up in next nothing
Next to Heaven
it doesn't get any better than this
Chorus

Late Night Case of the Blues
Roger Creager

it's 2 am another motel room and the boys,
They’ll be sleeping soon.
But I'm up and around and feeling blue
With not much of anything to do.
Maybe I'll walk down the hall.
See if I can find anyone at all
To get up and head out for a beer.
Or we could just sit and talk in here.
Oh it kills me all these slow nights paying my dues.
But, there ain't nothing wrong
Just a late night case of the blues.
Somewhere down in my soul
An angel lives but he lost control
And the devil, he gives the dice a roll
And he takes my heart for a spin.
But in the morning I'll be fine,
The birds will sing and sun will shine.
Cause I'm washed in the blood and born again,
But on nights like this I'd even question him.
Forgive me father for being so confused.
Let's just chalk it all up to a late night case of the blues.
The phone's been ringing loud and clear
About a thousand miles from here
And I wonder if she knows my fear
Or if she's even home.
Maybe I'll go walking around
Or take a taxicab downtown
Or lay a five-dollar bill on the ground by the wino
While he's sleeping. I can't help but feel like I'm being used.
Lord, Help me get over this late night case of the blues.....

The Morning
Roger Creager

It's 7:30 in the morning.
And I'm waking to face the new day
You're lying next to me and you're waking too
'Causeyou know I'll soon be on my way
Oh to me you still look just as pretty in the morning
no make-up and hair
As you do in the evening the moon
shining down in that sexy red dress that you wear.
Oh the factory they don't treat me like you do.
They don't care about how I smile
But if the pickup still runs at the end of the day,
I'll be home in a while.
So baby pour me another cup of coffee and kiss me
and hold me once moreLook in my eyes,
I'll take that moment with me and I'll remember what I'm working for.
CHORUS:
I hope that my friends have these moments
I hope that they get it somehow
I hope that they look at their wives in the morning
The same way I'm seeing you now.
It's 7:30 in the morning.
And I'm waking to face the new day
You're lying next to me
and you're waking too 'cause you know
I'll soon be on my way
In a moment we can go wake the children.
But for now, let's just watch them sleep
We can take in these times someday we'll call timeless.
We'll remember these you and me dreams.
The day has a way of sneaking in.
It breaks through the window without warning
Oh but be alarmed and don't worry darling.
Just enjoy the morning
CHORUS

Silver Wings
Merle Haggard

Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
Their taking you away, leaving me lonely,
silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Don't leave me i cry, don't take that airplane ride.
But you locked me out of your mind.
left me standing here behind.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
Their taking you away, leaving me lonely.
silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
their taking you away.
Leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Slowly fading out of sight.

7 Spanish Angels
Willie Nelson

He looked down into her brown eyes,
Said, Say a prayer for me.
She threw her arms around him,
Whispered, God will keep us free.
They could hear the riders comin,
He said, This is my last fight.
If they take me back to Texas,
They won't take me back alive.
**Chorus**
There were seven Spanish Angels,
At the alter of the Sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers,
In the valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped,
And the smoke cleared.
There was thunder from the throne.
And seven Spanish angels,
Took another angel home.
She reached down and picked the gun up,
That lay smokin in his hand.
She said, Father please forgive me,
I can't make it without my man.
And she knew the gun was empty,
And she knew she couldn't win.
Her final prayer was answered,
When the rifles fired again.
**Chorus**

And the song I may one day use as the 1st dance at my reception if I ever find Mr Right....

Stoney Larue
Let Me Hold You

Its the feeling I get when you start to cry
Tears down my cells like a stormy night
So dry your eyes girl
And just let me hold you
I was born to skate on very thin ice
Most of what I do I don't even think twice
So dry your eyes girl
And just let me hold you
Chorus
Close your eyes hold on tight
Let me run around inside your mind tonight
Baby just for tonight
Let me hold you
I'm the ship that's been tossed, a bridge that's burned
But you brought me back from the point of no return
Thank God I'm with you now
So that I can just hold you
Oh there's nothing more I need to say
I just want to be with yours at the end of every day
So I can close my eyes
And just let you hold me
Chorus
For all we know there may not be tomorrow
Let's hold on tight until the morning comes
Chorus
