Snippet

The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.  Alan Jackson

Scripture

“Show me, Lord, my life’s end

    and the number of my days;

    let me know how fleeting my life is.

You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

    the span of my years is as nothing before you.

Everyone is but a breath,

    even those who seem secure. Psalms 39:4,5

Song

Blue Ridge Mountain Song Alan Jackson

https://youtu.be/5s-k8Q_40cA

He met her in the fall of '93 in the hills of Tennessee

She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean

They were deep in love by June

Hand in hand beneath that moon

And she sang a little blue ridge mountain song

And he'd just hum along

And they'd dance all night till dawn

On a hillside all alone

They were young and they were free

Like a mountain melody

In love as they could be

Singing that blue ridge song

She married in her mama's wedding gown

Bought a house and settled down

He worked driving all around

All at large from town to town

And he'd come home every night

And she'd be waiting in the front porch light

And she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song

And he'd just hum along

And they'd dance all night till dawn

On the front porch all alone

They were young and they were free

Like a mountain melody

In love as they could be

Singing that blue ridge song

They couldn't tell him what was wrong

But they just didn't know

It wasn't very long until Jesus called her home

And he got down on his knees

Said "God don't take my love from me"

Just let her sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Like she has all along

And I'll dance with her till dawn

On a hill side all alone

And we'll spend eternity like a mountain melody

In love as we can be

Singing that blue ridge song

Now he lives there all alone

In the house that they call home

In his heart there lies a void (?)

From the absence of her voice

And he lays down every night

Dreams about that front porch light

Where she sang a little blue ridge mountain song

And he'd just hum along

And they'd dance all night until dawn

On the hillside all alone

They were young and they were free

Like a mountain melody

In love as they could be

Singing that blue ridge song

Little blue ridge mountain song

Singing that blue ridge song

Sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Singing that blue ridge song

Sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Singing that blue ridge song

Sing a little blue ridge mountain song

Sing a little blue ride mountain song

Little blue ridge mountain song
