Ode To Allison Kraus

Now I live out in the country
and thought I'd heard everything,
but there ain't nothing half as pretty
as Allison when she sings.

Allison Kraus is a pretty little thing
and right pleasing to the eye,
but when she cuts loose a singing
the angels listen and sigh.

Her voice is like a gentle breeze
through the pines on a summer night;
soothing all your cares away
and making everything alright.

Someday when I reach heaven
I'm quite sure she'll be there, too
"cause I know God loves her singing
just the same as me and you.

She is certainly one super singer Lary, Robert Plant and Allison seem to be soul mates, infact so close, Led Zep are on the back burner indefinately due to his collaboration with her, kool KOOL write>>James
