"The Sweetest Gift" lyrics
"The Sweetest Gift"
Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected
She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning
And when the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling
She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heavens could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning
And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment
Thanks to Charlie Currie for correcting these lyrics.

Nanci Griffith - "Across The Great Divide" I've been walkin' in my sleep
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
Where the years went I can't say
I just turned around and they've gone away
I've been siftin' through the layers
Of dusty...
Kathy Mattea - "Asking Us To Dance" There's a full moon up and rising
And there's a whisper of a breeze
Blowin' through the tangled silver
Hangin' from the cypress trees
There's a river made of moonlight
Flowin' clear across the lake...
Imelda May - "Meet You At The Moon" We’re looking at the same moon
Though we’re miles apart
We’re wishing on the same star
When you’re deep in my heart
I don’t know if you know but when we miss each other so
Look up I’ll meet you at...
The Wailin' Jennys - "Apocalypse Lullaby" Hurricanes will come
Earthquakes break the walls
Oceans rise
Empires fall
Enter world, light unshown
Follow heart, follow home
Here we are, light unshown
One round heart, one round home...
Lucinda Williams - "I Envy The Wind" I envy the wind
That whispers in your ear
That howls through the winter
That freezes your fingers
That moves through your hair
And cracks your lips
And chills you to the bone
I envy the wind...
