LYRICS: It’s been a long dark night And I’ve been a waitin’ for the morning It’s been a long hard fight But I see a brand new day a dawning I’ve been looking for the sunshine You know I ain’t seen it in so long But everything’s gonna work out just fine And everything’s gonna be all right That’s been all wrong I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Everything’s gonna be all right It’s gonna be okay It’s been a long long time Since I’ve known the taste of freedom And those clinging vines That had me bound, well I don’t need ’em, no I’ve been like a captured eagle, you know an eagle’s born to fly Now that I have won my freedom, like an eagle I am eager for the sky I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Everything’s gonna be all right It’s gonna be okay Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning Everything’s gonna be all right It’s gonna be okay Everything’s gonna be all right It’s gonna be okay Music video by Dolly Parton performing “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” © 2026 Butterfly Records, LLC

LYRICS

Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind

You’re tethered to another and you’re worried all the time

You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme

She’s fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn’t look like me

She made me love the morning, she’s a holiday at sea

The New York streets are busy as they always used to be

But I am the mother of Evangeline

The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep

She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep

She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed my car

But none of that was ever who we are

Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow

I’ll hold you while you’re sleeping and I wish that I could go

All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams

But I am the mother of Evangeline

And they’ve still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time

And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine

Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time

From inside of the ages through your eyes

You are not an accident where no one thought it through

The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you

And when we chose your name we knew that you’d fight the power too

You’re nothing short of magical and beautiful to me

Oh, I’ll never hit the big time without you

So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine

‘Cause I am the mother of Evangeline

They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine

‘Cause I am the mother of Evangeline

Ooh Ooh Ooh

Lyrics

Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
Tethered to another and you’re worried all the time
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme

She’s fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn’t look like me
She made me love the morning, she’s a holiday at sea
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline

The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car
But none of that is ever who we are

Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I hold you while you’re sleeping and I wish that I could go
All my rowdy friends around accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline

They’ve still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
They still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and their wine
Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes

You were not an accident where no one thought it through
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name we knew that you’d fight the power, too

You’re nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
I would never hit the big time without you
So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline

They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooooh…

Billie Jo Spears — Blanket On The Ground

Lyrics

Come and look out through the window
That big old moon is shining down
Tell me now, don’t it remind you
Of a blanket on the ground

Remember back when love first found us
We’d go slipping out of town
And we’d love beneath the moonlight
On a blanket on the ground

I’ll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we’ll go walking once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began

Just because we are married
Don’t mean we can’t slip around
So let’s walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground

Oh, remember how excited
We used to get when love was young
That old moon was our best buddy
We couldn’t wait for night to come

Now you know you still excite me
I know you love me like I am
Just once more I wish you’d love me
On the blanket on the ground

I’ll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we’ll go walking once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began

Just because we are married
Don’t mean we can’t slip around
So let’s walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground
