LEAVE OUT ALL THE TRAPS

Could there be such a thing as you and me
Well, here's what's in my thoughts
My adorations you've won, they're free
Need your kisses and your laughs
But, don't want to complicate your life
Got no need to redefine you

All we really need is you and me and leave out all the traps

Now you, I'd never mind you as my pair
But, let's not go there yet
I need you and I want you aware
Without you my life's bare
I really crave your company
But, no need to meet the family

All we really need is you and me and leave out all the traps

I've seen you not afraid to be tough
And too, I've seen your sweetness
I want you and isn't that enough
I want to snatch your heart right up
I don't need a roll playing game
And you don't need a safety suit

All we really need is you and me and leave out all the traps

Melody John Oswald / Lyrics John and Debbie Oswald

YOU ARE

You know you are unique
such a stride, my heart hits it's peak
and what a laugh, like music stirring me
is this a spiritual sign
who's on my mind
YOU ARE

Well now I'm obsessed
all my waking hours, yes I'm a mess
for even in my twilight dream time
right there you are
in my sky a star
YOU ARE

An Angel in my midst
from the first time that we kissed
I knew my world had forever changed for me
Is this love at birth
my heaven on earth
YOU ARE

I tell you all else aside
and with my strength delete my foolish pride
surrender my whole being for your love
I would give the world
who is that girl
YOU ARE

Melody John Oswald

Lyrics John and Debbie Oswald

ONE THRILL AT A TIME

I don’t bother to plan
I let go of the past
No concern for the future
Or trying to predict how long we may last
Well, I don’t go figure
I won’t decipher
The reason or rhyme
I’ll enjoy you
One thrill at a time

Well, I savored the first
Encounter with you
And I kept the sensation inside o’ my brain
For the next rendezvous
Well I shan’t reduce it
But can’t more define
Just for reason of rhyme
I’ll enjoy you one thrill at a time

Feeling such a high
Wow, I never felt so alive
Not just getting by
Loving you gives me the drive

SOLOS

Feeling such a charge
What a place that I’ve arrived
This is so large
Giving love to you I thrive

REPEAT Verses 1 and 2

GOOD KINDA CRAZY

For lovers too many miles apart.
We know how to stay in each other’s heart.

Sleeping with the phone in bed,
filling up the other’s head.
Neither feels alone any more
with an ear on the other’s snore.

Is this sensible, is this right?
and a crazy way to get through the night?

But. It’s a good kinda crazy, feels good to be
We’re flirting with insanity.
Yes, it’s a good kinda crazy, and what we need.
It’s the kinda crazy we wanna be

Our voices greet in the morning sun.
A new day together has begun.

We are parted by circumstance,
But, not demised by distance
As each day bears something new,
We stay connected all day too

It might get crazy when you’re separated,
but isn’t sanity over-rated?

But. It’s a good kinda crazy, feels good to be
We’re flirtin with insanity.
Yes, it’s a good kinda crazy, and what we need.
It’s the kinda crazy we wanna be

Hearing the other get ready for work
What would be boring becomes a perk

Conversing while making beds
Our breakfast choices said
Nothing’s trivial when in love
Relaying everything we think of

For lovers too many miles apart.
We know how to stay in each other’s heart.

But, if we were all this crazy, what a world it’d be
Love flirting with insanity
For us it’s a good kinda crazy, that we need
Kind of crazy distant lovers should be

Lyrics Debbie Oswald

GO ON LOVING YOU

There was a time
I didn't mind
being alone

Owning my thought
wanting for naught
future unknown

Journeying free
no one but me
to answer to

Untethered run
wanting no one
til I met you
________________________

I came to find, there's times I mind, being alone (The Refrains)
________________________

Comparing to none
knew you were the one
and soon we were three

You knew where you stood
as only you could
the best part of me

Inhibitions lost
my simple life tossed
when my heart you stole

Nevermore to roam
discovered my home
was there in your soul
________________________

Since then there's no time, I wouldn't mind, being alone
_______________________

With sweet family
you, me, and baby
soon to become four

Great Mother you were
I had to concur
let's keep having more

Our future assumed
good fortune and bloom
but, in stepped fate

Took what I loved most
and left me a ghost
of who was my mate
________________________

Nevermore I find, could I ever mind, being alone
________________________

You'd become my life
no better a wife
could I have found

The tears they don't flow
They couldn't you know
or I'd let you down

With what we did share
It wouldn't be fair
if I let it fade

Memories I hold
I won't let grow cold
nor the plans we made
______________________

So, I'll not mourn, be brave, not torn, and go on loving you......

THE RIGHT ROAD

The open roads I ride
Don’t provide me grace
Sojourns without a purpose
And rambling place to place

Finding nothing to relate to
And nowhere I belong
Fueled by tragedy and misery
Enough to write a blue’s song

I’m not one who complains
I take my curves as they come
Happiness just a thought
What it’d be like to have some

Finding nothing to relate to
And nowhere I belong
Nothing in my life feels right
And even that don’t feel wrong

Flying low and careless
In the pitch black of night
I didn’t see that downed tree
Only God’s indescribable light

***spoken***
--------------------------------------------
Floating over my wrecked life
No epiphanies could I think of
Then God enlightened my soul
And covered me with His Love

Revelations flooded my mind
His Grace filled every crack
Having understanding anew
In His Mercy He sent me back
--------------------------------------------

It’s to you I now implore
To listen to my spiel
If you are where I once was
I know just how you feel

I had nothing to relate to
Thought nowhere did I belong
Gotta let God be your navigator
Cause He’ll never steer you wrong

My Life now has a purpose
No longer do I feel forsook
Finding the right road is easy
If you let Him show you where to look

Because My life has a purpose
No longer do I feel forsook
God routed my road to fulfillment
And wrote my name is in His Book

I SURE KISS HER MISS

Alone on this bar stool
Wishing I wasn’t here
I don’t like the fate
I now see in my beer

A man sometimes forgets
What’s important in life
Til his drinking loses
A perfectly good wife

CHORUS
What have I done
How low did I sunk
I’d sure kiss her miss
If I weren’t drunk

Her tears and heartbreak
and my beer don’t mix
Nor this empty feeling
That being here won’t fix

This temporary friend
Can’t set my life right
Won’t kill my loneliness
Or hold me close at night

CHORUS
What am I doing
Low how do I sunk
I’d sure kiss her miss
If I weren’t drunk

If something’s worth
Putting up a fight
Then that something
Must be something right

So, one or the other
I have to choose
My wife or my beer
Which one do I lose

SPOKEN
A man has to do
What a man has to do
And leaving this bar
Is what I have to do

CHORUS
What am I doing
Sobering I think
Yeah, I miss her kiss
But, first one more drink

BREAK

Alone on this bar stool
Wondering why I’m here
Choosing between my wife
And having another beer

A man sometimes forgets
What’s important in life
Til his drinking wrecks
A perfectly good life

CHORUS
Know what I’m doing
Getting outta here
I sure miss her kiss
This is my last beer

PERPETUAL PLAN

If you’re feeling lost and don’t know what to do
Here’s a little something I can say to you
So simple anyone can understand
You got to get with God’s Perpetual Plan

da da da da da da da

You can be of this world and it of you
But that leaves you nothing when it is through
The only thing you can take when you depart
Is what you are carrying in you heart

It’s the love you share when you are here
And memories of those who you hold dear
That’ll follow you wherever you go
And the only true fortune you will ever grow

da da da da da da da

Still feeling lost and don’t know what to do
Here’s a little more I can say to you
Still so simple anyone can understand
You got to get with God’s Perpetual Plan

da da da da da da da

Whatever built in this world you will lose
Unless love is the reaping that you chose
Hate and it’s destructive reign will end
Love is the only thing that can ascend

If love is God and therefore God is love
Then the love here is also the love above
Love doesn’t just make the world go round
It’s the energy making the universe sound

Da da da da da da da da

You are not lost when you what to do
Love is your lifeline between God and you
So do you see and do you understand
Love’s how you get with God’s Perpetual Plan
