Kris Kristofferson 84th Birthday Dedication . . .
Happy birthday Kris For the Good Times that I’ve known The hungry years were lean to me Yet you made me feel at home Searching in the darkness For the truth to set me free Lost somewhere in forever Your spirit, still guides me Happy Birthday Kris For my Cleanest Dirty Shirt I still seen a shining Rainbow Through a world of pain and hurt Seen too many Darkened Corners Of dark and Dusky taverns Drowned far too many sorrows In deep and lonely caverns Happy birthday Kris For it’s only time can tell Good intentions seldom matter As we paved a way to Hell The Silver Tongued devil loses When that veil of darkness parts And we grasp those Golden Chances When we look inside our hearts Happy Birthday Kris That shining Texas light Holds hope in the hearts of the weary Clenched fists in the toughest fight Though you don’t even know me I’ve lived in the shadow of you In awe of the love and the Wonder And the selfless things you do Happy Birthday Kris What’s done must be undone A Heaven gone to Hell In a World Under the Gun Billy Dee and me were buddies In the worse sense of the word But it’s hard to Beat the Devil No matter what you’ve heard Happy Birthday Kris Your songs ring strong and true This tribute isn’t worthy But it’s meant from me to you Though close, I’m not yet perfect Though I cry, the tears of clowns The going up has always been Well Worth the Coming down
