Been swamped the past couple days, but I've got some good news - from my point of view anyway.
You may recall my account about the song I wrote for my sister's wedding day back in 1967 called Grown Up and Gone Away. I had a record made for her and thought it was lost but my sister found her copy and loaned it to me. It is a worn vinyl 45 rpm. I took it to an audio expert and he improved it somewhat but a little record noise remains.
You can listen to it at:

Meanwhile here are the words to four additional songs.
You are my pearl of great price
And you know that I've paid the price
I have given everything that I own
All my heart and soul - everything I have for you...
You are my diamond in the sky
You are the apple of my eye.
You are the love of my life
You make everything seem all right
It's you... Yes, you... it's you.
And you are my rainbow's end
And share all my hopes, you're my best friend
I no longer have to dream and pretend
You're mine - you're mine - you're all mine.
I'm yours - I'm yours - I'm all yours
You're mine - you're mine - you're all mine...
I've paid the price for you.
You are my country'tis of thee
You are an angel setting me free
Your deep eyes shine in darkest night
It's you... Yes, you... It's you...
And you are my rainbow's end
And share all my hopes, you're my best friend
I no longer have to dream and pretend
You're mine - you're mine - you're all mine.
I'm yours - I'm yours - I'm all yours
You're mine - you're mine - you're all mine...
I've paid the price for you.
You and I - we have a very special kind of love.
You and I - we say some very special kinds of things
You and I - we have a very special kind of love:
And you know its true
How much I really love you
Let me take you in my arms
And feel your charms...
You and I - we say some very special kinds of words
You and I - we treasure every special kind of look,
You and I - we love to see some special kinds of things:
I watch every move you make
Your hair flows softly with the wind,
How can I help but want to take
You in my arms...
You and I - we like to hear some special kinds of songs.
You and I - we like to hear some pretty melodies.
You and I - we have a very special kind of love:
And you know its true
How much I really love you
Let me take you in my arms
And feel your charms...
When I'm drowsing, but not sleeping late in the night.
I think of you, wish I could love and have you hold me tight
That's the way I'd like it to be
That's the way I'd like it to be
Dreaming of you and really loving you..
That's the way I'd like it to be.
When I wake up in the morning, having you by my side.
And you're with me through the day giving me all of your time.
That's the way I'd like it to be
That's the way I'd like it to be
Dreaming of you and really loving you..
That's the way I'd like it to be.
We must all have our dreams, and make them seem so real.
Life is not always what it seems - In your dreams.
I'll reach out for what I desire,
Someday I will find it.
Having you with me all the time...
That's the way I'd like it - that's the way I'd like it
That's the way I'd like it to be.
When I come home in the evening, you're waiting at the door.
Now and then I get the feeling who could ask for more?
That's the way I'd like it to be
That's the way I'd like it to be
Dreaming of you and really loving you...
That's the way I'd like it to be.
I knew a girl- good and bad
Could have been the sweetest I ever had
That's the way it was...
With my bitter sweet girl - My bitter sweet girl.
Hot and cold in her soul.
Sweet and sour in the hour.
That's the way it was...
With my bitter sweet girl - My bitter sweet girl.
Bitter sweet bitter sweet bitter sweet girl
It's a bitter sweet bitter sweet bitter sweet world
That's the way it was with my bitter sweet girl.
First she melts, then turns to ice
Breaks my heart, then treats me nice
That's the way it was...
With my bitter sweet girl - My bitter sweet girl.
Bitter sweet bitter sweet bitter sweet girl
It's a bitter sweet bitter sweet bitter sweet world
That's the way it was with my bitter sweet girl.
My Bitter sweet girl Smiles and tears,
the way it seemed Real and unreal, like a dream
That's the way it was...
With my bitter sweet girl - My bitter sweet girl.
