These Green Hills


Driving this old country road always puts my mind at ease
Gently rolling hills, some cows, creeks, some trees

It's another rainy day drive
The green hills look so alive 
Full of life, not the usual brown
How I wish you were still around..

These green hills... These green hills...
I miss you baby, I miss you so..
I see you everywhere I go..

It’s the first day of a new year
And it still feels like you're here
The drive is different this time, I know
Miss your smile surrounding me, can’t let go

I remember we stopped at that farm over there
And sipped lemonade in the warm air
They took our picture on the front porch swing
You laughed so when i tried to sing..

These green hills... These green hills
I miss you baby, I miss you so..
I see you everywhere I go..

Passing mile marker ninety-three
Oh.. you got so mad at me 
I wouldn't stop to see the baby calf
I wish i did, now makes me laugh

There's a lot I'd do different now
I know our time is past, yet somehow..
Green hill memories, they won't let go
They're part of me, this I know..

These green hills... These green hills
I miss you baby, I miss you so..
I see you everywhere I go..

I'm ok for now, I still go on..
Life's still full, maybe its just begun
But I know these green hills will not compare
With those we'll see in heaven's air

These green hills... These green hills
I miss you baby, I miss you so..
I see you everywhere I go..
Everywhere I go…

Miss You Like Crazy


I’m on a beach on Maui, beautiful surf and sand
Gorgeous bodies right in front of the Grand

A couple over there, perfect tens the pair
Loving life out in the sun and air

Quick glances and some stares
I remember that look when you were near

I miss you like crazy… you loved the beach so…
You’re in a better place now.. eyes closed I know…

The young family next to me, so happy it shows
That used to be us, seems long ago

Our kids are older now, they’re still such a blast
I’m so lucky to have them, not living in the past

The nest will soon be empty, many good times had
Not easily forgotten, never sad

I miss you like crazy… you loved the beach so…
You’re in a better place now.. eyes closed I know…

I’m sure lonely on a crowded beach
My next step is still out of reach

When you were here the world was mine
With you gone I have trouble ‘being fine’

I visit the tree with the view that we found
I talk to you there cause i know your around

I miss you like crazy… you loved the beach so…
You’re in a better place now.. eyes closed I know…

I’ll move on they say, it just takes time
I know you’re telling me to, but it’s tough to unwind

My love for baby, it will never be the same
I guess that’s why time has to heal all things

I miss you like crazy baby… you loved the beach so
You’re in a better place now.. eyes closed I know…

Miss you like crazy, baby… I’ll be with you some day…
This I know….
