What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

YOU MADE IT RIGHT

I've got a moon
Out my window
In the night

And I've got a sun
Out my doorway
When it gets light

I've got stones
On the mountain
And a clear, blue
Wind-swept sky

Thank you, Lord
You made it right
You made it right

And I've got a woman
To love me
When I'm gone

And I've got stars
To find me
The way back home

I've got rain
In the morning
When I'm stranded
All alone

Thank you, Lord
You made it right
You made it right

I've been standin'
On a hillside
In the night

And I've been singin'
'Bout the good things
And the light

There's a new star
On the horizon
And it nearly fills the sky

Thank you, Lord
You made it right
You made it right

There's a new star
On the horizon
And it nearly fills the sky

Thank you, Lord
You made it right
You made it right
