Lady love, go back to sleep, Dry the tears from your eyes, But I cannot stay with thee, Until the morning, For the dawn is breaking, And my ship is waiting for me, And I must go, But I’ll be back, yes, Before this year is over; And we sailed across the sea, Till we found America, ‘Round the Cape of Storms, We set our sails for home, And when the sea was roaring, And the Lord I called, To help my drowning men, I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window… And I have brought you silver, And I have brought you gold, And spices from the Indies in the hold; I’ve seen ships on the horizon, [...]

It was late at night on the open road, Speeding like a man on the run, A lifetime spent preparing for the journey; He is closer now and the search is on, Reading from a map in the mind, Yes there’s the ragged hill, And there’s the boat on the river.

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine, A song for the baby who changed my life, I’ll never forget when I saw you first, I thought that my heart would burst, With the love that I have. As I watch you sleeping in here tonight, And I hear your breathing so soft and light, I cannot believe all the things that I feel, When I hold you next to me, It’s the love that I have. Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart is shining through, With the love that I have. And as you are growing from baby to child, I share the wonders that are in [...]
