181 Rose On The Grass

37310127_sMy friend Gene Moore called this “one of the best love songs ever written…” But what does HE know? (He’s just one of the best guitarists of all time… as you’ll hear when you listen :o)

All that matters really is whether it touches YOU or not. If it does, share it ok?

Rose On The Grass

Song # 181 | 8/12/1992 | CD: Visions and Voices

If you called me tonight
I would tell you I’m alright
‘Cause it’s a “mind over” matter
Ah, but what I wouldn’t give to hear your laughter
There’s a dream I would share
Oh, how I long to be there.
For this month of the summer
It’s part of our dance with each other…

Refrain:

It’s a reflection in the window
It’s a rose on the grass
It’s a touch on your shoulder
Of my thoughts moving past
I love you…. ahh
I love you…

It’s a look in the eyes
That sometimes takes you by surprise
It’s the brush of the wind
Across the surface of your skin…

Refrain:

It’s an aching in the heart
Perhaps that is the sweetest part
It’s the sweat of a restless night
Sponged away by morning’s light…

Refrain:

If you called me tonight
I would tell you I’m alright
‘Cause it’s a “mind over” matter
Ah, but what I wouldn’t give to hear your laughter…

Some reviews & testimonials

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
