New Colony Six I Will Always Think About You Lyrics:
New Colony Six I Will Always Think About You Lyrics:
Even if I live without you
Please don't let that ever happen
I have too much love within me for you
I love this song, but now the lyrics haunt me,
I will carry you with me always
If there is a Heaven, as I truly believe there is
Send me a sign that you are happy and at peace
Maybe we will see each other again
At the "V" in the big old tree
I will carry you with me always
If there is a Heaven, as I truly believe there is
Send me a sign that you are happy and at peace
Maybe we will see each other again
At the "V" in the big old tree

Autumn Has Come To The Mountains
I thought of you today as I drove up the back way on Cheek Mountain. The Fall colors are ablaze. I lost count of how many shades of reds and golds I counted. Just as I reached the top of one of the hills there was a big old tree that must have been there for over 40 years. It had a "V" in it just like the one in my old front yard. It was strong and tall and had reds, golds, yellows and even a little green. The trunk grew straight and tall until it hit the "V" were it divided in two separate trunks equally tall and strong. I looked in amazement at it and thought yes that was me and you. We grew up together for a short splendid while and then divided and started different lives. Each of us branched out over and over again with spouses, children and finally grandchildren. At one point the branches touched and created a cover over the road. That was when we reconnected as friends. But they are small fragile branches up at the very top and not all of them will make it through this Autumn. Even though you will be leaving us the trunk you left behind is still growing strong in your children and grandchildren. I don't want you to leave but God has different plans for us. Don't worry, I think the tree will continue on for many a year. Each Autumn it will again be ablaze with color....so much so that you will probably be peeking down from Heaven with a paint brush in your hand and that silly grin on your face.
