Tunes That Never Go Away

Hand me down my old guitar, I’ll sing to you a rainbow

Bring you near or take you far singing melodies soft and low

Playing good tunes just to ease you through a heavy pressing day

Singing glad tunes just to please you- tunes that never go away.

Seems the songs are heaven sent they just seem to flow so free

Hand me that old instrument -it becomes a part of me

Play a tender touching lovesong, you can tell the song is true

Play so you can sing along, weave a story just for you!

Playing glad songs

Playing sad songs

Playing "makin’ you feel so good that you can’t go wrong" songs

Playing songs, more than songs, play emotions so strong that you just have to sing

And this song is a song of the joy a good song can bring!

Hand me down my old guitar, I’ll sing to you a rainbow

Bring you near or take you far singing melodies soft and low

Playing good tunes just to rease you through a heavy pressing day

Singing glad tunes just to please you- tunes that never go away.

Anthony Foster 1976

I was sitting in a lawn chair on my Dad’s back porch looking out over his pond after a rain and saw a rainbow- and this song came to me in one fell swoop. It’s amazing how clear the memories associated with the songs are- guess they are for making memories as well.
