TexScratch

Retired military solo artist; Tex/Americana/Folk singer/songwriter. 'Scratch' is my military handle and TexScratch a stage name just for the purpose of having a stage name, I suppose... Let's Talk Guild (LTG) guitar forum friends inspired many tunes and the inclination to purchase far too many Guild Guitars over the years...

Lyrics

Maddie's Moon©
Ken Smith (03/12/2012)
                          
Must be a million stars, in a springtime Texas sky 
       
Although they seem so far away; we can touch them if we try

I'd reach up & capture Jupiter; maybe Venus too; a thousand sparkling others & give them all to you

Then add one to the universe; and call it Maddie's Moon


Heavens shining brightly; and a smile upon your face
               
Driving down a country road; at a Lone Star country pace

Everything here below seems exactly right; God's creation we behold on a starry Texas night

And just to make you happy; I'd hang the moon for you


Yesterday a toddler; a young lady now you are
            
Nine years old, more beautiful; than any rising star

If I had within my power, what I'd ask God to do; is shape another planet, paint it pink and purple too 

Then hang it in the Texas sky, and call it Maddie's Moon

                   
I'd give you all the flowers found in April, May and June
                    
And take a couple hours to write a special tune

Then sing it on your birthday; underneath the Maddie Moon

And sing it on your birthday; underneath the Maddie Moon
