18 May 11 - 06:58 PM (#3156661) Subject: Lyr Req: Green Eyes From: GUEST,Rickie I am going around the twist trying to find the ballad, "Green Eyes", that was written by a young woman who is no longer living. Can't recall her name but the first line of the ballad is, "every night I light the candle", and it goes on. It has such beautiful words and music I know you all probably know it. I had found it on utube about 7 or 8 years ago, but I have not had any luck searching for it today. As is the distant past, thanks to all the mud-catters for wonderful help. I don't come on very often as I no longer have a computer. Yes, it is a drag. Love and blessings all. |

18 May 11 - 07:51 PM (#3156700) Subject: ADD: Green Eyes (Kate Wolf) From: Stewie You are looking for 'Green Eyes' by the sublime Kate Wolf: GREEN EYES (Kate Wolf) Every night we light the candle That stands beside our bed But sometimes the flame's too much to handle That's what you said. That's what you said And you should know Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn You followed me, watching every move, Matching every turn. Chorus: Your green eyes they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night, without a sound You were waiting till I heard Just as patient as that love light in your eyes You never threw away a word, Or ever talked in a disguise I ought to know You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea I saw it in your eyes When you looked at me So openly. chorus The first time I ever saw your laughter Break loose inside and tumble out to me My heart knew it had found what it was after And it came so easily We should know After all the years of the hard and heavy times Now our days go by like best friends' story lines Yours and mine chorus --Stewie. |

I can probably figure them out myself, but if someone actually has the chord progression that Kate used and can post it here, I would really appreciate it. |

It's one of the best YouTube videos I've seen of a live Kate Wolf performance. Kate died in 1986, and I never had the pleasure of seeing her perform. I understand that she was a "regular" at the San Francisco Folk Music Club's Camp Harmony for a number of years. I didn't start going to Camp Harmony until 1999, but I've missed only one year since then. -Joe- |
