Bells All Over The World

I waited and listened that magical night
And tried to believe with all of my might
Falling snow in an apron of steam
The old locomotive appeared like a dream
It was just like a dream
Waving his arm like the branch of a tree
The conductor, he whispered to me
(he said)
“Believe what the heart tells the eyes”
You just might be surprised
You can hear them ring
But you must try
Bells all over the World
Within the reaches of my mind
Silver bell so hard to find
Though it may seem lost or locked away
Your love is in my heart (to stay)
It’s in my heart to stay. (Believe in the heart)
You can hear them ring
But you must try
Bells all over the World
Burgundy Box - Michael B. Crittenden

Frosting on the windshield
Cold leather seat
Start it up and change it to defrost
instead of heat
Pullin’ from this parking lot
My heart beating fast
Cuz I just told a perfect stranger that I found the one at last
They wrapped it up in a burgundy box
I can keep a secret
There’s a ring in my pocket and nobody knows it……….but me.
Now it’s in my dresser
Almost a week
And every time a friend drops by
I try not to leak it
First I told my folks
Then I told my friends
Then the GE Repairman
Sealed lips ‘til the end
I put it back in the burgundy box
Can you keep a secret?
There’s a ring in my dresser and everyone knows it……but you.
Sitting on the sofa
It’s Christmas eve.
Maybe we should open up
Just one gift before you leave?
Reached it from behind me
Almost spilled my wine
She open up the burgundy box one last time
I’ve never seen someone shine so bright
she wrapped her arms around me
There’s a ring on your finger
And it’s much more beautiful
than I remember
