I Found Gold in Texas

The mines in the streams and hills were exchanged by sand and cactus. While others searched for golden nuggets, many suffered looking in vain, but here I discovered Texas is the treasure where a man can make his name.

There’s no time to glance at my watch, For there’s nothing but hair to see. I’m in a special state of mind, living Without any schedule; I’m free. There’s no deadlines to meet or reports Which need to be filled out. There are no material responsibilities, I feel good, without a doubt. There’s no clock in sight, and only Moving shadows tell the time. I’m not sure how long this will last, But to go back would be a crime. Is our love real?
I just want to sit here next to you, And to lie with you, And cry with you. Hold you in my arms. I want to know if our love is real. I want to know how you feel. I know that times weren’t so bad, And you weren’t so sad, And you were so glad to Hold me in your arms. I want to know if our love is real. I want to know how you feel. You know I just want our love to last, And to not go too fast And not forget the past. Hold me in your arms. I want to know if our love is real. I want to know how you feel. You know that I am your only man. And not a one-night stand. You’re the only one I can Hold close in my arms. I want to know if our love is real. I want to know how you feel. I know we can make it work together, And it can last forever And it will get better. Hold me in your arms. I want to know if our love is real. I want to know how you feel.Your love haunts me like a ghost
I saw a face today I could only find Lost deep in the recesses of my mind. I felt the pain of love that wouldn’t last, And memories of good times in the past. Storm raged as the passion burned bright, And we didn’t stop until the morning light. Then it was something you needed to hide. Were you ashamed or did I hurt your pride? No matter the reason, our love died. Your love haunts me like a ghost. It passed away but had nowhere to go. It floats teasing the images of reality I see everyday before my eyes. I’m not surprised I sometimes call Your name in the silence of the night. Your love haunts me like a ghost.Soldiers
Soldiers don’t make war; They just fight in them, And when the last bullet flies, They hope it’s the end. When they stop to count the costs, Soldiers know what they’ve lost. Some are hurt with lost limbs And some paid the ultimate price - Lives lost are the biggest sacrifice. Each of them has their own story, And say they don’t fight for the glory. They fight for freedom’s defense, And to protect their fellow friends. When peace does make its round, Shouts of joy will sound from All the nations in the world.
