Grace
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
So mama when you pray tonight
Say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding
The good-night kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding
So mama when you pray tonight
And while you're on your knees
Mama say a special prayer for me
The nights get cold and lonely
When you're faraway from home
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wron
Birthday Of My Thoughts
(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1969)
From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).
The leaves of laughter fluttering around my head. Insane desire fills the pillow on my bed.
Each time I think of all the happiness you've brought, I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.
The silver eagle of your love declared its place. Its flight of splendor I still carry on my face.
I've known the emerald of the peace that I once sought. I'll remeber you in the birthday of my thoughts.
See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.
The daylight and the darkness finds me wishing you were here. Your presence's faded but I will not shed a tear.
Don't ever feel that it was foolishly bought. I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.
See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.
See my love, see my love.
