    What's your favourite Johnny Cash song.

    I was just listening to "Sunday Morning Coming Down" & the memories flooded in.


    When I was a much younger man I was away from home working in a tiny outback Queensland town.


    There was nothing to do on Sundays (Except work).I practically adopted the song as my theme song.


    It was a lonely time.

    Gotta tell you Den,I never knew he covered that one.
    Pretty cool attempt for a guy with his voice range.Personally I prefered Roberta's cover better.

    lindilou

    You requested it my friend....

    The first time, ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and the stars
    Were the gifts you gave
    To the dark, and the endless skies
    My Love.

    And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
    I felt the earth move in my hands
    Like the trembling heart
    Of a captive bird
    That was there, at my command
    My Love.

    And the first time, ever I lay with you
    I felt your heart so close to mine
    And I knew our joy
    Would fill the earth
    And last, til the end of time
    My Love.
    And last, 'til the end of time.
    My love.

    The first time, ever I saw
    Your face
    Your face
    Your fa-ace
    Your face...................xox LL
    Tommyh

    Ahh Lindy.That's so sweet.Was that for me or Den?At this point I think I should tell you that I am a happily married man & apart from that I'm a bit sweet on Itsmee anyway.On the other hand if it was for Den I think the two of you are a match made in heaven.<3<3<3.

    The first, the last, my everything
    And the answer to all my dreams
    You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
    My kind of wonderful, that's what you are
    I know there's only, only one like you
    There's no way they could have made two
    You're all I'm living for
    Your love I'll keep for evermore
    You're the first, your the last, my everything

    And with you I've found so many things
    A love so new only you could bring
    Can't you see it's you
    You make me feel this way
    You're like a fresh morning dew on a brand new day
    I see so many ways that I
    Can love you till the day I die
    You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a-a-a a dream
    You're the first, the last, my everything

    I know there's only, only one like you
    There's no way they could have made two
    Girl you're my reality
    But I'm lost in a-a-a a dream
    You're the first, you're the last, my everything.....

    lindilou

    yes that would be refreshing..hopefully has shocks elsewise my singing will be vibrato...and loud catterwalling at best...oh me !
    Remind me to tell ya bout the time my brother and I met Johnny and June on a backroad in Canada... we were riding along when a limo crested the hill ahead and came rolling to a stop (as we did also) beside us and the window rolled down and the man in black said...." Hi there..I'm Johnny Cash and this here is my wife June Carter..." ahhh what a hoot ! Oh...I guess I jus' told ya !! :D LL
    Tommyh

    WOW! What a buzz.What did he want?
    lindilou

    He wanted to say howdy...we were seriously in the middle of nowhere on a secondary gravel road...he wanted to introduce himself and June...my brother was funny...he introduced us back in the same manner...kind of loud but friendly...called me his "sweet sister Lindi Lou"...I swear I blushed and June laughed...they were totally down home and sweet. They were performing at a huge red barn nightclub up the road where my bro was chef..small world after all eh? :)
    hector5559

    I Miss your singing lindilou,I Cant sleep without it,
    lindilou

    .....Vincent....
    .Starry, starry night.
    Paint your palette blue and grey,
    Look out on a summer's day,
    With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
    Shadows on the hills,
    Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
    Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
    In colors on the snowy linen land.

    Now I understand what you tried to say to me

    how you suffered for your sanity
    how you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen
    they did not know how
    perhaps they'll listen now.
    Starry, starry night.
    Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze,
    Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
    Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
    Weathered faces lined in pain,
    Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
    For they could not love you,
    But still your love was true.
    And when no hope was left in sight
    On that starry, starry night,
    You took your life, as lovers often do.
    But I could have told you, Vincent,
    This world was never meant for one
    As beautiful as you.

    Starry, starry night.
    Portraits hung in empty halls,
    Frameless head on nameless walls,
    With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
    Like the strangers that you've met,
    The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
    The silver thorn of bloody rose,
    Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
    Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity,
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen, they're not listening still.
    Perhaps they never will...

    G'nite Dearheart....xox LL 8D
