Beyond Beauty

A picture dancing through my mind

Sets my heart at ease

Golden ringlets, flowing hair

Blowing in the breeze

Hypnotized by your blue eyes

Enchanted by your charm

We lie upon the wild flowers

You hold me in your arms

Then smile at me angelically

I taste your burning lips

Wrap your   heart with tenderness

And seal it with a kiss

No work of art, no masterpiece

Ever could embrace

The person that you are to me

More beautiful than grace

The summer sun sinks from the sky

The love we make is sweet

A gentle sigh, you close your eyes

Softly drift to sleep

Is it wrong to want to love

The sweetest friend I've known

Is it wrong to want to lie with you

I beg you tell me ...no

I dont want to change you

Complicate your life

Youre a mother, youre a woman, youre a wife

I swear Ill always love you

No one can rise above you

You will be my best friend for life

How can this be wrong

It feels so right

Hanging From A Willow

She was a daughter to her mother

A sister to her brother

Just an ordinary woman

Nothin’ less and nothin’ more

She was a sweetheart to her lover

She never thought about another

And it broke her soul when he walked out the door

And they found her down

In the meadow peacefully

Hangin’ from a weeping willow tree

She left so many crying

Grieving or’ her dying

As they marched to the graveyard

In the morn’

Those that aint been through it

Can’t imagine why she’d do it

But the fact remains

She’s lying in the ground

And they found her down

In the meadow peacefully

Hangin’ from a weeping willow tree

Knockin’ On The Door

I went knockin’ on heaven’s door

But they wouldn’t let me in

Said I wasn’t ready

There is still sins left to sin

I woke up from a peaceful sleep

Staring at the light

For the first time in a long time

Everything felt right

Than I felt an angel touch my hand

And she whispered in my ear

I came to take you with me

But then she disappeared

I went knockin’ on heaven’s door

But they wouldn’t let me in

Said I wasn’t ready

Still had sins to sin

Danny Hunter

Rescue Me 

Last night I had a dream

About the world we are living in

Everything was perfect

No wars or hate or sin

When the dawn of day appeared

I realized I was wrong

To think the world could live in peace

And man could get along

I looked up toward the heavens

And fell on bended knee

Then sang a song to Jesus

Please come and rescue me

The skies turned black as blindness

Quiet, deathly cold

The silence only broken

By my praises to the Lord

Come take my soul

Come rescue me

From this cruel world

Come set me free

Blessed saviour

I beg of thee

Come save my soul

And rescue me

Take me to your heaven

To walk the streets of gold

To see my long lost loved ones

Once again to hold

My mother and my father

Kinfolk and old friends

I’m ready for the journey

Please Jesus take me in

(Chorus) X 2

Walk Talk Rock

I dont care bout her hair

I dont care what she wears

I just want her being there

When I wake up in the mornin'

I love the way she walks

I love the way she talks

I love the way she rocks

My world

I love her pretty smile

I love her simple style

I love the way she rocks

My world

She could surely be

A beauty pageant queen

But I just wanna see

Her wake in the morning’

Chorus

She protects me from the storm

I wanna hold her in my arms

I wanna feel her charms

When I wake up in the mornin’

Chorus

Danny Hunter

 

I Wonder

 

I wonder where she comes from

I wonder where she goes

I wonder if she sees me looking in her eyes

Same time every morning

Same time every night

Same corner of the street as she passes by

 

I wonder if she notices me, when she walks along

Sitting by the window of that little café

I wonder if she knows that she’s playin my song

If I walked up and spoke would she turn and walk away

 

I wonder where she comes from

I wonder where she goes

I wonder if she sees me looking in her eyes

Same time every morning

Same time every night

Same corner of the street as she passes by

 

I wonder if she knows that my heart skips a beat

When the summer breeze is blowin through her hair

I wonder if she knows that she beautifies the street

Same time every day when I see her walking there

What's Wrong

Sometimes when I look at you

Your troubled mind comes shining through

What’s wrong?

What’s wrong

And sometimes when you look at him

I can see a fire within

That’s wrong

That’s wrong

Its wrong to want to leave

The sweetest love you’ve known

It’s wrong to make me beg like this

Darlin’ please don’t go

(Solo)

(Repeat chorus)

Sometimes when you look at me

And there’s a teardrop on my cheek

That’s wrong

That’s wrong

Cuz a man aint suppose to cry

Danny Hunter

 

Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy

 

I came here looking for absolutely nuthin

Then you came along

I thought this time I had mighta found sumpthin

Lawdy lawdy lawdy was I wrong

 

I told myself boy ya better take care

Don’t cha go fallin in love with her

But ya winked yur eyes and ya flashed a smile

Then ya broke this poor ol heart of mine

 

Here I am sittin round singin the blues

I shoulda just let you be

Like Hank’s ol’ song, born to lose

Lawdy lawdy lawdy that’s me

 

I’ve lost in love so many times before

You would think I would have learned

That familiar sound of a slammin door

Lawdy lawdy lawdy I got burned

 

If ya burn me once than its shame on you

The second time shame on me

I guess there aint nuthin left to do

Lawdy lawdy lawdy I’m free

Elusive Love

No matter where the four winds blow

Thats the way they say it goes

Blowin sand and memories

Out to the sea

Elusive is thing called love

Poets often write about

The lines all sound the same to me

Nothing more than dreams

Love will find me

Thats what you say

Love will find a way....someday

Loving more than words can say

Loving more and more each day

You are the world to me

My elusive dream

I'll pack my bag and buy a fare

To take me anywhere

Chasin dreams and memories

Is old to me

Danny Hunter

Everything To Me

All I thought I wanted was your sexy body

How was I to know it came with a heart

A heart thats a part of a feelin inside

A feelin Ive been  feelin right from the start

Yesterday is gone a new day is comin

I cant wait to see you again

I never knew, Id fall in love with you

I cant imagine life without you being my friend

Youre pretty as a picture and your sweet as can be

Youre everything that matters to me

Spending time with you :::: is what I wanna do

Youre everything that matters to me

(solo follows verse and chorus)

I wake up every morning and youre on my mind

I go to sleep with you in my dreams

Sitting here waiting :::: anticipating

Yeah I count every second til Im with you again

(chorus x 2 ) fade out

Danny Hunter

You Can Have Her

She stands five foot four

Pretty as a picture

The kind of a woman any man would want

But buddy you can have her

I dont want her

She broke my heart once too often

Maybe you can put up with the lies

Maybe you can tolerate more pain

Maybe when she falls

You can be right there

To pick her up again

So many nights

I waited to love her

But dawn would be breaking when she walked in the door

She cheated and she lied

She told me she loved me

I have heard all them damn lines before

I cried and I cried

But teardrops stopped fallin

There is nothing left but this hollow feeling inside

Changed the lock on my door

I change my number

The burning fire of love has finally died

Repeat Verse #1

Danny Hunter

FREE

Angie: I cant talk too long

On the telephone

Cuz the preacher man is coming tonight

And there aint much time to speak my mind

Lord, I wish I could hold you so tight

You have been an angel to me

This time tomorrow will set you free

Im so sorry I cant be by your side

But everything will be all right

Angie: These walls of steel

May keep us apart

But these bars cant stop my dreams

Or keep you away from my side

Lord, I wish I could hold you tonight

The gallows are waiting for me

The devil himself is showing his smile

I so scared of what is going to be

I pray that you will be all right

Angie: Will you lay with me

If I close my eyes

Will you come and hold me close to your heart

And say you love me one more time

Lord, I wish could hold you tonight

Danny Hunter

  What Would You Do

She left me for somebody new

She left me alone, crying the blues

Then she came back and said she was sorry

Tell me what would you do

If you were wearing my shoes

Cause shes the one I love, with all of my heart

Shes the one that makes, my life seem worth living

Shes my sunshine, my rain

And it tears me apart

To think she might never have loved me again

Now you say that I am a fool

But what would you say if it happened to you

And your whole world came crashing down all around

What would you do

If you were wearing my shoes

Cause shes the one that I love

With all of my heart

Shes the one that made my life seem worth living

Shes my sunshine, my rain

And it tears me apart

To think she may never have loved me again
