A New Life

By Gordon Wolfgang and Jim Rainbolt

Things seemed simple our two hearts beat

We married to the world our love we state

To make our lives together complete

A deeper intimacy and a love we create

The most important expression there is

To Make a new life to show

The deepness of a love we already know

Even though there will be some not so sure

And some not understand a move so bold

Thinking there must be another gesture

That would be better – judging we are too old

A smile to our faces will come every single day

In our old age and all the travels along the way

For our future, and for every today

But in our winter years we will see

They will be our pride and joy

An old mans comfort, for a woman to be

It matters not a girl or a boy

Beginning

By Gordon Wolfgang

Weekend starts on a jet to the coast

A rose - a bottle of champagne

To the Beacon – for a feast and a toast

We share ourselves – won’t be the same

Beginning of our life together

In the apple it starts

The launch of our love forever

The sun comes up in paradise

Cup of coffee - Tiffany’s second floor

Degas, Renoir, Monet – impressions so nice

We share the night - forever more

Valentines night – with a waters edge feel

A line, the wind so brisk and baby, ooo it was so real

Our hands unite, a ring, a yes – she’s my lifelong mate

Another night in the empire state, in the empire state

Cap our evening with the love that we share

Dawn, a carriage ride to the green

A weekend to remember this pair

No man will break - the bond between

That Little Smile

By Gordon Wolfgang

Waiting outside the washroom door

For my little princess - she’s all grown up

Can't go in with dad no more

They leave so soon, but don’t give up

They press your buttons

They make you burn

But that little smile is one

Than makes my world turn

She is the image of that beautiful woman

That I married a few years gone by

She’s come along so confident and

Success is in her reach without a try

Days go by, then so do the years

Ups and downs, laughs and tears

But by you they will always stand

Tell her that you love her every time you can

She will comfort me - my old age spree

Her giving ways just like her mom, my wife

She’ll wait outside the door for me

Before I leave here for my next life

South Seas (Honeymoon)

By Gordon Wolfgang

Staying with the rich and famous

The sky fills with the Southern Cross

Like hermit crabs they train us

Meals, sun, drinks – relax at all costs

Lay your heart right next to mine

Until there is, there is no time

South Seas in our veins so true

My love for ever shared only with you

A short launch to a deserted island

Your sweaty body lies next to mine

A cork marks our presence in the sand

Again consummated after some bubbly wine

Lady this is our south sea honeymoon

A memory forever – but alas it ends too soon

Time stands still in this tropical paradise

No thoughts of home, this will never end

Romance will last for 5 years score thrice

Whilst other lovers to the isle descend

In My Heart

By Gordon Wolfgang

The leaves blow in the winds of fall

As I drive down that cemetery lane

It’s been a year with out you at all

A rose a day to show I came

Time continues to pass on

No one can stop its movement

And though you may be gone

I will have you in my heart every moment

Your impact to this world we know

Didn’t cure all the sins that there are

But it made me better, I miss you

And always will through my journeys so far

It was the hardest year that I ever had

Lost, without you, so very sad

I pray that you sleep in Gods hand

Someday I again will see you

In the promise land we’ll together stand

Forever, my dear, I love you

Night and Day

By Gordon Wolfgang and Jerry Boynton

My baby doesn’t look for the things that are wrong

She sees through my defects many

Relationships must have understandin' to last long

She stands by me though the faults a’ plenty

I don’t ever want to hurt my Lady

She means more than any words can say

She makes life bearable there ain’t no maybe

I think of her all the time - yeah - night and day

I am a man of simple pleasures

She knows how to satisfy each

Unlocks the world and all its treasures

Her soft touch is always in reach

Together in timeless suspense

Live every moment we two intense

Creating a space together

Just right and ours, baby, forever

Together we explore the peaks of love

The majesty of a relationship so deep

Nothing comes between, in, or above

The mountain may be high, though travel not steep

One Rose

By Gordon Wolfgang, Jim Rainbolt and Bryce Boynton (2006)

One rose for each of my loves so fine

Is the thing that causes their concern

How can one man love two at the same time?

Is what they see as not firm?

I give one rose to say how much you mean to me now

I give one to you to tell you how much I miss you

They see some sort of disrespect, I know not how

Or something must have been going on with you

It’s said that time will pass and things will recover

My thoughts are that their feelings won't change

They should live in my skin to see how much I really love her

Or respect my loss; she would not want to see me in pain

A rose is a sign of my undying love

You know my heart is so true

My heart is give to both of you

The important part is to make sure our family can cope

The rest of the world may come along soon, I hope

I once thought I didn’t know what to feel or what to do

I know the ones close are all it matters to

I give one rose to say how much you mean to me now

I give one to you to tell you how much I miss you

I give one rose to say how much you mean to me now

I give one rose to you to say - I Love You

Back on Track

By Gordon Wolfgang

You’ve captured me, be still my heart

You’ve got my full attention

I long for you every second we are apart

You're the one for my affection

My life is back on track

Since I met you girl (Sue)

No, I won’t rush it baby, but I can’t call it back

Cause it feels so good

I have all my priorities straight

You came right to the top of my list

Your smile is so true and it is oh so bright

I treasure that first tentative kiss

I only want to see those good times now

With you my eyes opened anew

Not looking back at rail gone by

Back on track with a girl like you

Your Blond hair, and those deep blue eyes

My love for you I cannot disguise

I need some more dreams that I can chase

Together with you we’ll cinch this beautiful case

Our Wedding

By Gordon Wolfgang and Jim Rainbolt (2006)

The shadows get longer in our lives and this wonderful year

And I now have a woman, so close, and so dear

We have set the plan for a life with each other

Our wedding day is here, to all I show just how much

I love her

Your white dress, your sparkling eyes

Your ready smile, there is no surprise

Me in my black tux and red vest

Ready for this life, and our lifelong quest

My heart skips a beat, as she turns the corner, and I see her

Only minutes now until our union sees completion

You glow as you walk down the aisle, you're so eager

To start a life together, much anticipation

And I love her

The ceremony of dreams come true

to this pair so mature

The sun shines on we two

We'll remember this day forever

My life is now oh so complete

With this little girl, my being I give her

She shows me her love and she is so sweet

We are starting out on our life together

And I love you

Stand As One

By Gordon Wolfgang

In the shadow cast by a candle lit cross

A beautiful young woman makes her way through that ample throng

Her sure gait toward her waiting man

Vows to each other – They commit life long

And a hush falls over the church

Together they stand before the crowd

Marriage concludes their search

They stand together, They stand as one, so proud

The love they show just in their bearing

Bathed in the light of God’s Ultimate Glory

At the alter they exchange a wedding ring

Unselfish devotion, trust, tenderness – our dream story

In Gods Hand they become one

Share their love for all to see

In his hand they’re forever young

Their happiness will always be

A ceremony with acknowledged diversity

To recognize the power of their God

His wish of faith, hope, love, tolerance and harmony

Are theirs – His reach, His reach so broad

Le Petit Mort

By Gordon Wolfgang

We met so innocently in the Blue Mountains

Over time our love so deeply grew

We capped it off with a Champaign fountain

For all of time I just want you

To express love completely

Entwined, le petit mort

For you so sweetly

Anything, I said, Anything at all

You are the woman that comforts me

Makes all my dreams come true

Tells me how much we will be

For all of time, I just want you

A forthcoming sigh in that midnight hour

Pleasure explodes, we feel all the power

You are the lady - inspires my strength

Confidence, faith for a fulfilled life

I will give to you, no matter what the length

Together forever - we're man and wife

Mary’s Smile

By Gordon Wolfgang

I wake up to the picture of Mary’s smile

My day starts with hope, she makes it all right

She is never down, always ready for that next mile

We work hard all day, and come together at night

Mary’s smile is the thing I need

It’s the wealth that draws my greed

Mary’s smile is the thing I need

When I call she asks “how can I help” now

She always has time to make my day

When I don’t understand, she tells me how

At night her moves excite - together we play

Even when there’s a question of her health now

Smiles chase away anything that’s blue

It is up to you to define wealth

I dedicate my life in serving you

ROCK ON

Clearly See

By Gordon Wolfgang

How can an already broken heart be broken again

I didn’t think it possible but it is real

With my whole world ‘round me just crashin’ in

No one knowing how much pain that I do feel

Oh, they don’t understand the large hole she left

They think it’s all about me

How much time must pass

For those who look on to clearly see

All I want is to have someone to be my companion

Someone to make this pain just disappear

I am looking for some silly sort of validation

Someone in my heart, it’s not connection I fear

Time has a funny way of passing on

And everyone has a different pace

It is time to give another lady a try

For love is in that new woman’s face

I’m just telling everyone that I’m making a change

Not to just be alone or wait to die

But to find that closeness, not somethin’ strange

The time is here and now – I’m past the cry

Sunset Girl

By Gordon Wolfgang

I met this girl on highway 99

She jumped into my car, she nearly blew my mind

We drove on down the coast and split a bottle of wine

The sun was going down, it barely gave a shine

My sunset girl, my sunset girl

My sunset girl, she’s my sunset girl

The hours slipped away and we stayed up all night

This was the perfect girl, I knew, I knew she was right

This woman made me smile, she made my life complete

This was the perfect one, this woman sure was sweet

The days passed us by, and she slipped into my life

The time was here and now and captured as my wife

But as the story went, she was had and lost

Truth was together united, romance at all cost

Then we were together for over 20 years

From Munich to Lahaina, so many tears

But finally the story went, she was taken away

Mary is my sunset girl, and I miss her in every way

Thanks Mary

16B

By Gordon Wolfgang

Oh oh oh oh

Sittin’ in 16C on a redeye from LA

Dreaming of getting home to see my baby

Then she shakes me from some far of gaze

Asks is anybody sitting in 16B

Oh - I’ve always fanaticized of this exact event

A chance encounter at 39,000 feet

Oh - Who would have thought that we would ever meet

Me and the girl in the next seat

She sits down, we exchange pleasant smiles

This blond beauty starts “talkin’ to me”

Conversation goes on for miles and miles

And then the urge to kiss that girl in 16B

Let me tell you son, this story is true

Maybe some day it will happen to you

I follow my urge and it ain’t just kisses

No problem - she is comfortable with my advance

We embrace all night, in an evening of bliss

Numbers exchanged, plans for our next chance

The One I Work For

By Gordon Wolfgang

I spend my nights at a beer drenched mic in a smoky room

Thinkin’ about a life that could have been

The last drunk leaves and I’ll be goin’ home soon

To see my girl light up as I walk in the room

She's the one I work for

All of the time

She's the one I work for

She’s mine, mine all mine, yes, she's mine

I road a star to the big time and a stadium stage

Ran fast, lived hard, put millions up my nose

Made music for thousands into my middle age

Squandered the thing that I believed in most

My senses peak to that sweet smell as she walks by

I come back to earth from some far off dreams

My girl still keeps me after my star fell from the sky

Now it’s small bars, tip jars – life is better it seems
