Linda McRae: MUSIC/LYRICS/VIDEO

Really and Truly

(Linda McRae)

This song was written for a dear friend who said he always wanted two cats in the yard named Really and Truly. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. He was a great artist and an unusual character who took great pride in living under the radar. In true fashion his last wish was to be cremated and loaded into shot guns shells and blown out over Kootenay Lake!

REALLY AND TRULY   

 

Silvery moon’s no longer shining

While my heart’s forever pining

For the day this night will end

And my heart is surely broken

As words of love so softly spoken

Roll around inside my head

 

Truly, really and truly

My heart’s so full of fear

Truly, really and truly

It’s not that I don’t love you my dear

 

How can I believe another?

When my thoughts just drag me under

And life comes crashing in

Why do I spend my time in darkness?

Is it safer to be heartless?

That to risk being hurt again

 

Truly, really and truly

My heart’s so full of fear

Truly, really and truly

It’s not that I don’t love you my dear

 

So goodbye it’s time to go now

I hope that I can find the way out

Tell my heart that I'm ok

When you find another

I will cry and always wonder

How I lost what I can’t replace

 

Truly, really and truly

My heart’s so full of fear

Truly, really and truly

It’s not that I don’t love you my dear
