Barry, gawd love Belle Starr, but I think it was Byron, wasn't it? Can't remember!

If anyone is interestd, we do have the sheet music available for the songs of my brother's I listed above, sose ya' can hear the very beautiful tunes these words were written for. They've never been done in a folk style, but having sung them in concert, I can tell you I think they would lend themselves well to folk and they have always been well-received. There, blatant plug and nepotism to boot! Here are the lyrics.

EVENINGS IN CRYSTAL

1)
Evenings in crystal, Sparkling in the candlelight's glow
Evenings in crystal and love, Lost in the stream of time's flow
Now it is so long ago, that you were my love

2)
Evenings in crystal, bright as the love in your eyes
Evenings in crystal and love, something inside me still cries
Something inside me tries to bring back your love.

Refrain

Evenings of radiance, bright in the flame
Of love and romance, your power to entrance
I remember the love lines you read to me
Your voice I still hear, you somehow seem near
And I long to repeat, those hours so sweet we shared
And, I'll dream of you, yet, I can never forget our love.

Repeat Verse 1

KARMIC LOVER:

1)

Karmic Lover, your path crosses mine,
Karmic Lover, the stars have set the time,
Karmic Lover, you are my destiny, you were meant for me
And my love for you is the fate I bear
Karmic Lover, why don't you care?
Karmic Lover, why don't you care?
Why don't you care, Karmic Lover?

Repeat

The wheels of time go round and round
You were lost to me, but now you're found
The heavens above have blessed our love
The planets in their trine have marked the sign
Now our lives must intertwine
How can you be so cold, when our love has been foretold?
How can you be so cold, when our love has been foretold?

THE FLOWERS OF SUMMER

1)

The flowers of summer are bloomin' in my mind
Our love when young then and time was kind
Those days I cherish, they'll never perish
The flowers of summer are bloomin' in my mind.

2)

No thought of parting then chilled my mind
No winds of autumn left summer behind
The days were warm then and love's reborn when
The flowers of summer are bloomin' in my mind.

Refrain

Golden sun of summer, return now and shine your rays
On my heart, warm my life and let my love return,
And in my hours of remembrance the flame of my love shall burn
And though the roses of June are gone
The Dream of Summer and Love lives on
