lyrics

You're as cozy as an old worn sweater.
You're as comfy as my favorite pair of shoes
I love to bury my face in your shoulder.
Feel your warmth and feel the smell of you.
When the first light of dawn slides through the blinds
Three cats on the bed, you open your eyes
The mocking bird sings night has come to an end,
And we say “good morning darling, hello my old friend.”


I love it when you fold your arms around me.
I love the way you ease me when I'm bruised.
With your comfort I feel so much better.
It's a recipe to chase away the blues.
The morning's light first picks out your face
Kick the cats off the bed, stretch to reclaim your place
Close your eyes you don't want the night to end
But first say “Good morning darling. Hello my old friend.”


It’s been a long long time since you came into my life
We've had a lot of laughs and we had our share of fights
But we've had so many loving afternoons and nights.....


You're as easy as that old worn armchair,
I like to curl up in and read on a Sunday afternoon
You're as warm as that old wool blanket.
Wrap me up safe in my cocoon
The night rolls in, you've got that look in you eye
Three cats settle in, purr their lullaby
Before we close our eyes and sleep descends,
We say “Good night darlin’ sleep tight my old friend”

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale image

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale Patagonia, Arizona

Husband & Wife. Mutual Muses. Rick Jones and Valerie Neale proved time and time again that some marriages are just plain music in the making.

They released their first cd "Life Drawing" in 2009 and continued to play together without recording another album. Only in 2021, when Rick was diagnosed with cancer, did they realize that they needed to record these songs.
