Linda McRae: MUSIC/LYRICS/VIDEO
Really and Truly
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
