Every Twist and Turn

Winter days are cold and gray while summer’s warm and bright. Snow covered mountain tops melt away when the time is right. Pouring rains and hurricanes will stir up now and then. Storms appear from year to year no less than dear old friends. Refrain: All the good and bad and sweet and sad pass by us every one; all the lows and highs and tear filled eyes and races still not run. All the gentleness and sweet success and love along the way, everything we’ve learned every twist and turn every moment of each day. Guitar songs and things we long for growing up too fast; rocket dreams and what it means to let go of the past. Picking, choosing, winning, losing, walking in the rain; home run balls and strike-out calls are how we play the game. Refrain: All the good and bad and sweet and sad pass by us every one; all the lows and highs and tear filled eyes and races still not run. All the gentleness and sweet success and love along the way, everything we’ve learned every twist and turn every moment of each day. Early morning rise and shine the sky is painted bright; so many hues for me and you to make us feel all right. ‘Till the end of day as sunshine fades and darkness closes in; we say our prayers to God somewhere wondering where does this life end. Refrain: All the good and bad and sweet and sad pass by us every one; all the lows and highs and tear filled eyes and races still not run. All the gentleness and sweet success and love along the way, everything we’ve learned every twist and turn every moment of each day. All the gentleness and sweet success and love along the way, everything we’ve learned every twist and turn every moment of each day.
