MY FAVORITE HEARTBEAT by Randy Bonnom ©2013 Sunrise peakin' through the stained glass chases all the dark away Cat and dogs teamin' up to get us up so we can start the day Roll out, forget the PJ's Naked as two children at play Feed everybody as we gaze into each other's eyes and say: Spirits dancing on our feet One sound makes me feel complete Hear it poundin' now, so sweet You're my favorite heartbeat. Last night's rain upon our old roof sounded like a symphony Furnace fires up soundin' like the phone booth of Dr. Who Cookies and fruit for a meal Checkin' with each other to see how we feel Dancin' in the kitchen is the morning workout that will see us through Spirits dancin' with our feet One sound makes me feel complete Hear it poundin now, so sweet You're my favorite heartbeat. (break) We're stronger...though sometimes it's hard to tell. Each time we laugh or cry, or pray to try, We end up together still doin' well. We had a snow storm every single Monday right up to the first of May But your brave little pony and our woodstove kept us groovin'...truckin' and a' groovin'! We got all the perks of fame Callin' each other by our secret names People just delight in us as we bop-a-lua and we got no shame. Spirits dancin' with our feet One sound makes me feel (so) complete Hear it poundin' now, (boom!) so sweet You're my favorite heartbeat! TWO CATS YAWNING by Randy Bonnom and Bill Higgins ©2008 Mornin! We're like two cats yawnin', Stretched out from our hair down to our toes Love how your skin glows in the mornin'. Hey! Sleepy-time girl! Wake up, Honey, it's a big ol' world. Sunrise is shinin' through my eyes, and I wanta show you a big surprise. We've got plenty of nothin' to do, and I wanta do it all with you! Don’t get dressed, just feel the flow; It's a brand new day and anything goes. Last night seems so far away, feels like it's always been this way. Can't say how long it'll stay, but you and me, we can make it last all Mornin'. Your smile brought the dawn in, and your breath brought the breeze in through my door; Couldn’t ask for more from this mornin'.
SO FAR by Randy Bonnom ©2010 So far…when you look to that horizon So far…when you look back. So far…when it's one foot front of the other How'd we ever get this far? Time was...when you built those dreams with a hammer. Time was...when you felt free. Days pass...like the rush of wind and water You choose...who you will be. Then the dawn light shows the shadow of your decisions And the moon light holds the breath of those you've loved. The faces and the voices cry out from where you've left them One lightning shock ago, one breath ago...yet So far...we've never stopped dreamin' and dyin' So far...we've always been reborn One heart...that never will stop beating, And the song of love it sings takes us so far.
