on a hilltop
in the kitchen
over rainbows
down a well
in the snow
under pressure
on the sunny side of hell
in the dumps
on a barstool
so many things I’ll never tell
on the lawn
in my car
across the sky
it rings a bell
in your bed
by your side
falling fallen fell
by Richard W. Bray
you're the pot of gold
at the end of my road
everything I never deserved
you're the dreamy and the cream
you're everything you seem
more than I could ever say with words
you're my happy and my hope
you're the only way I cope
a vision and an angel and a shrine
you're solid and you're sunny
you're beautiful and funny
you're a flower and a rainbow and a rhyme
by Richard W. Bray
It’s not a little thing
When breakfast is ready
Lunches are packed
And the house is warm
It’s not a little thing
When dishes are done
Laundry is clean
And your coat’s by the door
It’s not a little thing
Who’s sleeping in your bed
When it’s someone who supports
Everything you do
It’s not a little thing
When you go out in the world
Knowing that there’s someone
Who really loves you
By Richard W. Bray
The dirty rotten lowdown
Things you do
Leave a trail
Of misery and blue
Pleeeeeeeeeease
Don't treat me
Like dog shit
I ain't dog shit
I'm a man
Sabotaging
Other people's lives
With treachery and slander
Sharp as knives
Can't you seeeee
All the hope
And the sunshine?
Like a big red ruby
Like a grape on a vine
You cheated on
A dozen different guys
Your dog won't even
Look you in the eye
You could beeeee
Like an angel
Of mercy
But you just hurt me
And I don't know why
I finally found
The nerve to walk away
I’ll always think
About you every day
I'll be freeeee
But I'll always
Be lonely
Dreaming about the woman
You're never gonna be
by Richard W. Bray
I always knew you were there
Somewhere
I always knew there was a way
Someday
I always knew you'd come true
Somehow
And I'm believing it now
You're so sweet
And you're so true
Everything I ever knew
Everything I wanna do
It's all living in you
By Richard W. Bray
it only takes you
to open up the door
you wash away the blue
you refresh and you restore
it only took you
to melt my frozen heart
you fix me just like glue
when I’m falling apart
In a cold and bitter world
You’re a special kind of girl
it only takes you
to turn blizzards into fire
doo be doo be doo be doo
there ain’t no way to get higher
it only takes you
to right me when I’m wrong
if the world disappears
there will still be your song
by Richard W. Bray
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
–Hank Williams, Cold Cold Heart
Don’t blame yourself
For your broken heart
It might feel heroic
But it isn’t very smart
There’s something you know
But you’ll never understand
She made you so happy
But she didn’t give a damn
You could spend some time with a real live girl
But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World
You’re a really sweet guy
But you gotta let it go
It wasn’t your fault
When she stomped on your soul
I really wanna love you
But I can’t compete
With a sad sad song
That you wanna repeat
You could spend some time with a real live girl
But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World
By Richard W. Bray
What holds all the molecules together?
Was there a beginning of time?
Does space go on forever?
What makes you so clever?
Is there any reason in my rhyme?
I wonder about everything I see
Who made all the tygers and the trees?
I wonder why I met you
And what you’re gonna do
Wonder is good enough for meI wonder about things I’ll never know
I wonder if our love is gonna grow
What’s inside the sun?
The biggest number plus one?
Wonder is good enough for me
by Richard W. Bray
I'm sad we broke each other's hearts
Didn't want to leave you blue
I'm sad we'll always be apart
I hate the stupid things I do
I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true
A snowflake and a rainbow
A sunset and a flower
They fade and fall from view
But they never lose their power
I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true
by Richard W. Bray
