Hold On

Fallon Ray

Hold on, hold on
Bigfoot got a hold on me

He’s so fuzzy
Our wedding photos aren’t clear
He’s so nuzzly
When he’s near i have no fear

I’ve got a hold on his furry heart
And he’s got a hold on mine

Hold on, hold on
Bigfoot got a hold on me

He’s so handsome
So debonair
Fills me with joy
I have no cares

He’s so calm
Moves with such flair
I’m a total mess
But walking on air

Hold on, hold on
Bigfoot got a hold on me

Since I’ve Seen You

Fallon Ray

Here’s just a super rough brain dump of a song idea that hit me while I was listening to music and cleaning the house on a beautiful October Sunday later afternoon.

I saw you sitting in an outdoor cafe
Just reading a paper
and sipping a latte

I couldn’t look away
I had no idea I was staring
I must have looked such a fool
And you were so in your own world, too
Just being you and so so cool

If anyone saw me seeing you
They couldn’t help but know
They surely saw the drool
Down the side of my chin
like a steady river’s flow

Instant love, that’s what I had
I got it in a flash
And boy I got it bad

I reckon being so alone
I ought to be sad
But just you in my mind’s eye
Takes away all the bad

I’m now always in my own world now
Thinkin bout you day and night
I don’t eat, not sure I remember how.
Guess it’s been two days since I had one bite.

Ever since I saw you my heart’s been on fire
I don’t even know who you are
And you make my soul shine brighter
I’ll forever love you from afar

You’re my sole desire
And I’ve never been much of a cryer
But you make my voice cry out
You make my spirit scream and shout

I want you like I’ve never wanted
Anything or anyone before

I can’t imagine anyone else
Could ever compare
Just you in my mind
Has my feet walking on air

If I ever see you again
I’ll have the courage to speak
Chips fall where they will
Even with knees knocking and weak

And even though with words
I don’t have much of a way
I’ll be sure to tell you
Exactly how I’ve been feeling

My eyes are filled
With tears of joy
Just knowing you’re out there

How We First Met

Fallon Ray

It was a cooler-than-usual early June. The honeysuckle was in full swing and I was absolutely head over heels for its permeating sweetness lilting on every breeze. You had just started your NASA summer internship the day before, and I was a veteran, having been there two weeks already. We were lucky enough to both get on Doc Belver’s fuel containment experimental design team. First judging by his slight stature and typically unassuming comportment, I can’t believe what a prankster he turned out to be! Ahh, if only life could always be early days in a space exploration career…

Let’s Go for a Walk

Fallon Ray

When I walk beside you,
I’m walking on air.
And my whole world is right,
I don’t have a care.

We can talk and laugh,
Or just walk on.
As long as we know the other is there
All our troubles are gone.

Birds singing and sun shining bright,
Or a cool rain in the middle of the night.
Walking with you just might
Be the thing I love most of all.

Doesn’t matter where,
Doesn’t matter when,
I’ll walk beside you every day of my life;
Again and again and again.

You tell me secrets,
And I tell you mine.
Having someone with mutual trust
Is worth all the gold in the world.

You shine, you sparkle, and glow.
I love you more than the rain
Loves a rainbow.

Grab your shoes
And throw them on.
Let’s go for a walk,
And sing each other songs.
