A light breeze is blowing
The leaves are dancing in the wind
I sit here watching
As the night rolls in

The sun sets and Venus rises in the west
The sky changes; a beautiful sunset
A ceremony in which the day is being blessed
As the night rolls in

The sky darkens and the stars come out
The stars start to form patterns all about
Let your mind wander and dream your dreams
As the night rolls in

Nashville is calling me again
Its voice is getting louder everyday
And I find myself thinking about leaving this place
When I hear Nashville calling; calling me again

I have a nice life
A good job and good friends
But when I play my guitar
I start thinking of Nashville again

A long time ago my world came tumbling down
I put my guitar in the corner and for years it did not make a sound
Then my heart was touched and I was inspired
I picked up that old guitar with a new found desire

Now playing my guitar is always on my mind
I'm playing it more and more all the time
And I find myself again dreaming that dream
That Nashville is calling; calling me again

Imagine what it would be like if we all got alone
What it would be like if we made everyone feel that they belonged
Imagine what a world we would have
If we could all get alone and forget about the past

Imagine what you could do if you smiled today
Say something kind and make somebody's day
Imagine the possibilities and the lives you could change
You could make someone feel good what a beautiful thing

Imagine what you could do
How many lives you could change
Imagine the possibilities
What a beautiful world we could have; with just a little change

Come on down to Louisville, Kentucky
For the Fastest Two Minutes In Sports
The first Saturday in May is Kentucky Derby time
It's the end of a two week celebration; the best of times

The runners race that takes a lap around the track
Thunder over Louisville has fireworks and planes fly past
There is a balloon glow and steamboat race
Where else can you go for a time so great

Now it is race day; an all day party
The insane gather in the infield and they can get naughty
You have celebrities, mint juleps and crazy hats
The Kentucky Derby is where it's at

The beautiful horses parade around
The bugles sounds and  My Old Kentucky Home plays
The excitement peaks; it's time for the race
Dreams of the Triple Crown; the Kentucky Derby is the first leg
The Run For The Roses; someone's dream starts today

Every time I look at the keyboard
I see U and I together
There is W and E for We
It's code for you and me
First two lines was a quote I came across; then I just kind of rolled with it

The shrubs and trees are turning green
Oh the splendor, Oh the beauty do you see what I see
The season showing more color adding to the purple, pinks and whites
Spring is in full bloom; what a beautiful sight.

My drive to and from work is a more pleasant drive
Driving along the river and nature on the other side
No longer driving in the dark but driving in daylight
Spring is in full bloom; what a beautiful sight

Everyday is a new day
A chance for a new start
Everybody makes mistakes
That's what new days are for

Everyday is a new day
The slate is wiped clean
Today you can change who you are
Forget the past, today is what you live for

Everyday is a new day
A chance for you to be who you want to be
Everyday is a great day
A chance for you to change something
