Tennessee Mountain Dream

 © 2023 Mark Cote

I remember long ago
I would wander down in the woods
never knowing what I'll find
adventures living in my mind

by the still I kissed Jenny Mae
I remember it to this day
the old car down by the creek
where we'd play hide and seek

(chorus) In my Tennessee, Tennessee
                mountain dream
                skies are blue and the streams are clean
                more beauty than you've ever seen
                in my Tennessee, Tennessee
                mountain dream

(instrumental)

in that mine where we found some gold
it's a secret place or so I'm told
so many times over the years
I reminisce with happy tears

(chorus)

I Could Grow Old With You

 © 2023 Mark Cote

lonely boy in a smaller town

pretty girl won't you stay around

I don't know which way we will go

it might be summer it might be snow

routine world that I'm driving in

it was black and white and shades of grey

you painted colors I had never seen

ones I only knew in my dreams

(chorus) I could grow old with you

                  even when summertime makes me blue

                 'til St. Peter says "come on through"

                 baby, I could grow old with you

(instrumental)

I learn from you you learn from me

ain't that the way love's supposed to be

this journey could be a mystery

come on baby and dance with me

(chorus)
