Let It Grow
© 1991 C. Butcher, R. Harrison, S. Montana
There's a feeling tonight
It may be wrong, it could be right
But there's a light in your eyes, you've never shown
While other lovers are sure
That what they have is love so pure
We've been afraid, until tonight, of our own
(Chorus)
So let these feelings be shown
Let my intentions be known
Leave our emotions uncontrolled
Let the light shine down on love and let it grow
There's something here you cannot hide
You're wearing just a thin disguise
Behind a mask I see the truth come shining through
You know the lines , now play the part
Don't let your thoughts hold back your heart
You're not alone out on the stage, I'm here with you
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, Let the fire burn on
Listen to the song of love roll on
(Repeat Chorus)
Cadillac Daddy
ă 1995 Chris F. Butcher
I can still remember playing my first guitar
Daddy said "Son, you could be a star,
If you practice your lessons and you learn them well,
Maybe you can make it boy, you never can tell"
He said "I'd sure like to hear you on the radio,
You can buy me a Caddy when the record goes gold"
(Chorus)
Oh that Cadillac Daddy of mine
He's got the power and the style, he's from the luxury line
He's got a sweetheart mama and he loves her all the time
They say that nothin' beats a Caddy
Nothin' else could be so fine
Nothin' beats a Caddy, like Cadillac Daddy
From the mountains and the hollers of an old coal town
I've always heard that you can never keep a good man down
With a lot of hard work you can rise above
And daddy always kept it going when the going got tough
He said "A little love will see you through"
There ain't nothing that kind of man can't do
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
When I think of the family lines, I'm proud to be a part
I feel the love run softly through my heart
Well, some people try to tell me that they've seen the best
But I just tell them there's a measure over all of the rest
'Cause when he gets his motor running, he's ahead of the pack
He's so darn near perfect, like a Cadillac
So I'll follow in his tracks for a country mile
And if they say he's like his daddy then you'll see me smile
(Repeat Chorus)
First Time, Second Thoughts
ă 2002 Chris Butcher & Fred Grupe
First time… Second thoughts
I didn't mean to make her cry
I wonder now, am I the only one who fails to understand?
She needs a one woman man
I remember when she knew
She was my only baby and the only one with my love in her hand
In the palm of her hand
(Chorus)
Ooh…
It's not the first time
I've walked away before
But it's the first time for second thoughts
First time… Second thoughts
Ooh…
First time… Second thoughts
I was searchin' for my freedom, always foolin' around
And I couldn't understand true love… what will it take to realize?
Tears in her eyes
(Chorus)
Ooh…
It's not the first time
I've walked away before
But it's the first time for second thoughts
First time… Second thoughts
First time… Second thoughts
First time… Second thoughts
Brother Sing
ă 2002 Chris Butcher & Fred Grupe
(Chorus)
Brother sing, brother… brother sing tight
Brother sing out on a note that's just right
My brother, I have no complaint
My brother, long wayward saint
You've got that good heart, you fought the good fight
Now you've lived in the dream, wake up to the light
(Chorus)
Brother sing, brother… brother sing tight
Brother sing out on a note that's just right
My brother, find the truth that you know
My brother, before it's time to go
'Cause there's only one life and it's such a high art
To be singing the song as it comes from your heart
(Bridge)
Sing, brother sing
Find the truth and you will see
Sweet, sweet music
Sing, brother sing
That the truth will set you free
Sweet, soul music
Sing, brother sing
Listen closely, you can hear
Sweet, sweet music
Sing, brother sing
Angel voices singing clear
(Chorus)
Brother sing, brother… brother sing tight
Brother sing out on a note
Brother sing, brother… brother sing tight
Sing it brother…
Sing it from your heart
Hey now listen my brother
Find the truth so you'll know
And you'll know sweet, sweet music
Listen my brother, sweet soul music
If Only Yesterday
ă 2002 Chris Butcher & Fred Grupe
You ask if I'll forget you… only everyday
When I think of times I loved you… I want you so to stay
You ask if I'll regret you… baby, not in any way
Do I want you back again?
If only yesterday…
(Chorus)
Last night you walked away
Left me sad and blue
If only yesterday I could have been so true
It's all I have to say
If only yesterday…
Will the past foretell the future or can we still be friends?
And you wonder if I'll be alright with this pain that never ends
You ask if I'll forget you… only everyday
Do I want you back again?
If only yesterday…
(Bridge)
One day I'll see you coming back again
One day I'll hold you… crying until then
Do I want you back again?
If only yesterday…
(Chorus)
Last night you walked away
Left me sad and blue
If only yesterday I could have been so true
It's all I have to say
If only yesterday…
Weekend Warrior
ă 2002 Chris Butcher & Fred Grupe
(Chorus)
Everybody loves a weekend… Weekend Warrior
Mr. Businessman wears a forty-hour shirt and tie
Screamin' like a boss, man making everything all right
But when five o'clock on Friday comes he'll go, go, go, go
Straight to the bar getting ready for the fight
He runs to his car and as he looks in the mirror
His hair starts to grow, a younger man appears there
Jams his Friday CD's… roaring like a fine tuned Harley
Cruisin' down the road and headed for an ice cold barley
(Chorus)
Everybody loves a weekend… Weekend Warrior
Everybody's single, its Friday night
Everybody loves a weekend… a Weekend Warrior
Ready for love, ready to join the fight
(Bridge)
Looking for a single girl on Friday or Saturday night
Looking for a love so loose that feels so tight
Looking for a blast and a toke from the past
It's so right to be right on a Weekend Warrior night
The professional girl sits so pretty by the telephone
Fine pressed skirt, white starched shirt and cologne
But when five o'clock on Friday comes she'll go, go, go, go
Straight to the bar 'cause she's getting ready for the fight
She runs to her car and as she looks in the mirror
She checks her vanity, a younger girl appears there
Another button down… glistens like a brand new Harley
Roarin' down the road, headed for an ice cold barley
(Chorus)
Everybody loves a weekend… Weekend Warrior
Everybody's single, its Friday night
Everybody loves a weekend… a Weekend Warrior
Ready for love, ready to join the fight
Foolish Fire
ă 2002 Chris Butcher & Fred Grupe
(Chorus)
Foolish fire fade away
Lovers get lost and so easily drawn astray
There will be some foolish night, you will see a light
That shines like a bright new day
But it's only the ghost of a promise that you desire
It's not really love… only foolish fire
Hearts are like diamonds
Harder than stone
Lovers will always be hurtin'
Each with a cut of their own
Love has gone silent
Fear has grown strong
The farther we fall apart
Staying with you feels so wrong
(Chorus)
Foolish fire fade away
Lovers get lost and so easily drawn astray
There will be some foolish night, you will see a light
That shines in a bright new way
But it's only the ghost of a promise that you desire
It's not really love… only foolish fire
(Bridge)
Foolish fire…
Foolish fire…
Walls may hide emotions
But tears are like gold
Where once love could open a door
Find a reason for trying to hold on
We can't hold on forever
To this dying flame
And get burned in a fool's fire
Leaving only ashes and shame
(Chorus)
Foolish fire fade away
Lovers get lost and so easily drawn astray
And on some lonely night, you will see a light
That shines like a bright new day
But it's only the ghost of a promise that you desire
It's not really love… only foolish fire
Heartache Moon
ă 1995 Chris Butcher
I don't know why she does me like she does me
But she always leaves this feeling in my mind
Softer than starlight, but bluer than midnight
Oh, her love is on my mind
(Chorus)
It's a heartache moon I'm cryin' under
Though the nighttime should be filled with the wonder
Of two lovers dancing and loving so free
But that old heartache moon is still shining on me
I don't know how to deal with this illusion
'Cause things aren't what I ever thought I'd find
One night without her feels like forever
Oh, but the stars still fill the sky
(Chorus)
It's a heartache moon I'm cryin' under
Though the nighttime should be filled with the wonder
Of two lovers dancing and loving so free
But that old heartache moon is still shining on me
(Bridge)
Moonlight on the water, shadows on the ground
A falling star has come too far revealing destiny
(Chorus)
It's a heartache moon I'm cryin' under
Though the nighttime should be filled with the wonder
Of two lovers dancing and loving so free
But that old heartache moon is still shining on me
That old heartache moon is still shining on me
I don't know why she does me like she does me
