Wake Up to You

I wake up before you
The dawn starts to glow
As I’m blessed by
Each breath from your lips
I thank god that you’re there
You lay there so peaceful
First thing in the a.m.
The morning sun kisses your cheek and caresses your hair
The lids of your eyes stir
Eyelashes a-flutter
A fairytale mouth sighs
To draw in the new morning air
As long as I wake up to you
I live just to wake up to you
You snuggle up to me
So achingly pretty
As I brush the hair
From your brow
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And just as they open
They flutter a moment
Your smile spreads before me
A soft ruby red butterfly
I lean down to kiss it
And all through the day
That one mem’ry sustains me
Until the new morning
Draws nigh
As long as I wake up to you
I live just to wake up to you
I wake up before you
The sun starts to rise
As I take in each line
Of your face
And I weep at the sight
A single tear traces
The curve of your shoulder
You lean t’ward the window
A sunflower bending to light
A heaven sent flower
The pride of my garden
I’ll shade you from sorrow
And cradle you
All through the night
And each day that passes
I’ll think of that sunbeam
That tickled your nose
And I’ll laugh like
A child with delight
As long as I wake up to you
I live just to wake next to you
As long as I wake up with you
I live just to wake up to you

Beautiful Crazy Heart

(Words: t. h. gorman & k. e. horsman / Music: t.h. gorman ©2023 teztunesmusic)
Blame it on summer
Blame it on a heartbeat
Hang it from the August moon
Blame it on the heat
Blame it on a whisper
Blame it on a shout
Hang it on the heavens above
Beautiful, crazy love
Beautiful, crazy heart
Blame it on pigtails
Blame it on her charm
Blame it on an empty room
Or maybe these empty arms
Surely it's the risin' dance
Must be just the weather, yeah
Blame it on the outside chance
You can blame it on whatever
But it's beautiful, crazy love
Beautiful, crazy heart
She whispers:
Thoughts of you in darkened room
I'd rather be a vagabond
Creatures of the universe,
Where we dance by the sun
and we howl at the moon
Blame it on the echo
Of mem'ries come to call
Chalk it up to coincidence
Or blame it on nothing at all
Maybe it was supposed to happen?
I really don't give a damn
Scamp's got my synapses snappin'
She's makin' me a happy man
Got beautiful, crazy love
From a beautiful, crazy heart
A beautiful, crazy heart
Beautiful, crazy heart

Tez Howes Moncton, New Brunswick
I'm just an old Canadian fart writing & recording tunes, trying to capture the vibe of pre-millennial popular musics, rock,
blues, jazz, funk, country, pop, etc. Lumiere and Knowhere are primarily indie pop, and The New Codiac Blues is a collection of blues-based tunes.
They're dotted with selected collabs with uber-talented friends in the UK, USA, Australia and Bulgaria of a variety of sounds.
