“Ten Past Three”

                                           Beth Reid Bauman

 

Verse 1:

Meet me down by the creek.

See you there at ten past three.

We could sit & talk a while.

You make me laugh.

I’ll make you smile. 

 

Chorus:

Keep sending songs to me.

Soothe me with your melodies.

Be my guide nothing more. 

That’s all I’m hoping for. 

 

Verse 2:

Memories line my face. 

That’s how we earn grace.

Hope lies between these eyes. 

Maybe we could harmonize.

 

Chorus:

Whisper secret songs to me.

Soothe me with your melodies.

Be my guide nothing more. 

That’s all I’m wishing for. 

 

Verse 3:

Your voice fills a hallowed space. 

Draws me from my hiding place. 

Life’s  journey moving on.

Every day, a brand new song.

 

Instrumental:

 

Chorus: 

Keep watching over me.

Soothe me with your melodies.                                         

Be my guide nothing more. 

That’s all I’m hoping for. 

That’s all I’m wishing for.

That’s all I’m praying for.
