"My Little Dutchman" in KISSES
Catherine "Kitty" Hershey sings about her husband Milton Hershey.
VERSE:
My little dutchman,
Has a big heart.
I love him so much.
Don’t know where to start.
Ever since the day,
When we first met,
He’s been my prince.
Yes, he loves my brunette.
CHORUS:
If you think he’s crazy,
You need to change your mind.
‘Cause he’ll always make you smile.
He’s sure one of a kind.
VERSE:
My little dutchman,
Has a large will.
I need him so much.
Oh, my soul be still.
He’s as sweet as punch,
With chocolate twist.
I’ve been his queen,
Since the first time we kissed.
CHORUS:
Most days he is modest.
He’s humble as a pie.
Though his check account is huge,
He’s just a simple guy.
BRIDGE:
He gives candy bars to strangers.
He gives jobs to old friends.
He won’t fear about the dangers,
Of business and its trends.
CHORUS:
If you think he’s tiny,
You better think again.
Oh, he’ll stand up to the world.
He’s not like average men.
TAG:
My little dutchman,
Is not so small.
Oh, after all,
My little dutchman,
Has a big, big heart.

"Paint it Black and Blue," A LOVE SONG
VERSE:
Spray paint your story on the sidewalk.
Beat up and bruised more than twice.
The veneer is thin, and it makes cheap talk.
The stain comes with a price.
CHORUS:
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
Paint it gray and brown on the side.
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
One day a rainbow of color
Will bring the whole world to life.
‘Till then, paint it black and blue.
VERSE:
Some see the whole world in lights.
You see the whole world in shades.
It really seems more black and white,
With not much red anyway.
CHORUS:
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
Paint it gray and brown on the side.
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
One day a rainbow of color
Will bring the whole world to life.
‘Till then, paint it black and blue.
BRIDGE:
This life isn’t an accident,
But it’s filled with collisions.
Try to be compassionate,
And full of night vision.
CHORUS:
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
Paint it gray and brown on the side.
Paint it black and blue if you want to.
One day a rainbow of color
Will bring the whole world to life.
TAG:
‘Till then, paint it black and blue.
‘Till then, paint it black and blue.

"January Winds," A LOVE SONG
VERSE:
You came to me with the April rains,
Fresh as the morning dew.
You filled my life with so much joy,
But it ended all too soon.
CHORUS:
The January winds blew you away.
I’m hoping that the summer breezes,
Bring you back someday.
VERSE:
Maybe one morning in mid-July,
You’ll decide it’s time to return,
Or one humid August evening,
Your heart will start to burn.
CHORUS:
The January winds blew you away.
I’m hoping that the summer breezes,
Bring you back someday.
BRIDGE:
I’ll be waiting for you as the snow melts,
Wishing the seasons would change.
I’ll be watching for you as the storms pass,
Hoping the current would carry you home at last.
CHORUS:
The January winds blew you away.
I’m hoping that the summer breezes,
Bring you back someday.
TAG:
Bring you back someday.
Bring you back someday.

"When Roses Were Wild," A LOVE SONG
VERSE:
I loved you when roses were wild.
I loved you when I was a child.
In all my innocence and blissfulness,
You couldn’t have been more magnificent.
Like a field blooming in eternal spring,
You made my cheeks blush and my heart sing.
I loved you when roses were wild.
VERSE:
I loved you when roses were true.
I loved you when life wasn’t blue.
The garden grew with rain and time,
But I shed many tears when you were no longer mine.
Like a desert in the summer’s heat,
My love for you withered in bitter retreat.
I loved you when roses were true.
BRIDGE:
Oh, for the days of long ago.
How much I knew.
How much I could never know.
Oh, for the hours of simple faith.
Before many seeds I sowed were swept away.
VERSE:
I loved you when roses were sweet.
I loved you when red was indiscreet.
You weren’t the person I thought you were,
But the roses still standing are beautiful and pure.
Now flowers in bloom are better than before,
And I couldn’t ask for anything more.
I loved you when roses were sweet.
BRIDGE:
Oh, for the days of long ago.
How much I knew.
How much I could never know.
Oh, for the hours of simple faith.
Before many seeds I sowed were swept away.
TAG:
I loved you when roses were wild.
I loved you when I was a child.

CHORUS:
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.
VERSE:
If the sun rises,
And you cannot see its rays.
If the clouds are darkest,
And it seems the worst of days,
Be glad you have another breath.
Your story isn’t finished yet.
CHORUS:
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.
VERSE:
If you can’t sleep,
But you’re tired to the bone.
If you wake at night,
And you’re feeling all alone.
Joy can find you at the break of dawn.
Soon your troubles will be gone.
CHORUS:
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.
BRIDGE:
Love never ceases.
Darling, have peace.
Kindness never comes to an end.
On this you can depend.

Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.
CHORUS:
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.

And there was morning, mercy is new.
And there was morning, mercy is new.
And there was morning, mercy is new.
Every morning, for me and for you.
CHORUS:
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Arise and walk.
Your light has come.

"Tuesday Evening Blues," A LOVE SONG
VERSE:
Made it through the weekend.
Didn't shed a tear.
Forgot to remind myself,
He no longer holds me dear.
The sun went down this evening.
The stars refused to shine.
Loneliness came knocking,
Saying he’s not mine.
CHORUS:
I got the Tuesday evening blues.
The two of us are through.
Don't know if I'll see him again.
I got the Tuesday evening blues,
Alone in solitude.
It's all too much for me to comprehend.
I've lost my love and my closest friend.
VERSE:
My mind debates the reasons,
He wandered from my arms.
The more I think about him,
The more my heart is harmed.
No logic to his leaving.
No answer to my whys.
No ending to my heartache.
I can only cry.
CHORUS:
I got the Tuesday evening blues.
The two of us are through.
Don't know if I'll see him again.
I got the Tuesday evening blues,
Alone in solitude.
It's all too much for me to comprehend.
I've lost my love and my closest friend.
BRIDGE:
Maybe by Wednesday these feelings will pass.
Maybe by Thursday true love will come at last.
CHORUS:
I got the Tuesday evening blues.
The two of us are through.
Don't know if I'll see him again.
I got the Tuesday evening blues,
Alone in solitude.
It's all too much for me to comprehend.
I've lost my love and my closest friend.
TAG:
I got the Tuesday evening blues.
I got the Tuesday evening,
The Tuesday evening blues.
