About This Song: (Lyrics below)
This song was written at one of the darkest most difficult times in my life. But suffice it to say miracles DID happen and things resolved, as I look back upon it, in ways that were better than I could possibly imagine at the time…
For a small fee I’ll be glad to tell you the full story… if you can handle it… LOL. :o)
Rose Colored Glasses
Song #190 | 7/6/1993 | CD: tbd
[Tuning: DADGAD]
I may look like a fool in my rose colored glasses
I may look like a fool in my rose colored shades
I may look like a fool but I don’t care
‘Cause I believe in the power of prayer
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air
I know that the good times are gonna come and catch us
I know that the good times are gonna come and stay
I know that the good times are gonna catch us
Though today they seem slow as molasses
I know the good times are gonna come and they’re gonna stay
Refrain:
The sun is hot and mean this morning
It’s a hundred in the shade the radio’s warning
And I’m wishing for a breeze to blow a storm in through these trees
I’m wishing for, I’m wishing for a breeze…
I called you on the phone but you weren’t home today
I called you on the phone but you weren’t home and that’s ok
I called you on the phone to tell you why
I refuse to hang my head and cry
Called you on the phone but you weren’t home today
Refrain:
[Instrumental]I’m walking down a road that’s got no name and got no end
I’m walking down a road that’s got no name and got no end
I’m walking down a road that’s got no name
Just mountains, rivers, valleys and plains
I’m walking down a road that got no name and got no end
Refrain:
I may look like a fool in my rose colored glasses
I may look like a fool in my rose colored shades
I may look like a fool but I don’t care
‘Cause I believe in the power of prayer
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air
Gonna need a miracle or two or three right out of thin air…
