Little Star 02:32
Little Star, you are the first one out tonight. Little Star, surrounded by the fading sky Little Star, I know that you're so far away, but could you spare the time of day for the wish I have to make? Little Star, Could you bring him back to me? Little Star, It's like he sailed across the sea Little Star, I know that it's a lot to ask, but just make a poor girl happy and I swear I'll it last Little Star You are my only hope tonight Little Star Can you help me make it right Little Star You only seem so small because you're miles away I hope he doesn't make the same mistake I hope he doesn't make the same mistake Little Star You are my only hope tonight Little Star Can you help me make it right Little Star You only seem so small because you're miles away I hope he doesn't make the same mistake I hope he doesn't make the same mistake

I love you like the wind loves the leaves They sing songs together and dance in the breeze I love you like the wind loves the leaves I love you like coming in from the cold after taking a walk in the snow I love you like coming in from the cold I love you like that rain loves to fall coming down from above to bring life to us all I love you like the rain loves to fall CHORUS: I love you as old as the hills have been around I love you as much as a child needs the sound of his mama saying "hey baby won't you come around" Hey baby won't you come around? I love you like the birds love to sing the prettiest good mornings that they could bring I love you like the birds love to sing I love you like a breath of fresh air blowing the sun shining down through your hair I love you like a breath of fresh air CHORUS

Why is it always darkest before the dawn? Why am I at my worst when I'm almost home? Why do I speak, and what makes me do the things that I do? Oh, and how could I be lonely when there's you? REPEAT Maybe it's the distance that rips our love in two Oh, maybe it's that I can't see myself out of this without losing you (lots of OOHS) Maybe it's the distance that rips our love in two Maybe it's a casualty of being so in love with you now Oh well you know that I'm so in love with you And, that's why it's always darkest before dawn That's why I'm at my worst when I'm almost home It's why I speak and it's what makes me do the things that I do, oh Well it's all because I'm in love with you now, Oh well you know that I'm so in love with you now Yeah, You.......

Same 03:01
I'm leaving here tomorrow Better yet I'll leave today I'm getting ready to see you One of these sweet days We went and fell in love and our lives, They will never be the same Do you ever whisper my name in the dark? Do you ever talk to me just like I'm there even when I'm not I do, I do, oh I do, all of those things for you We've come such an awful long way But we've still got a whole lot that we have left to say I'm scared, I'm scared, oh I'm scared but I ain't gonna let it stand in my way We went and fell in love and our lives they will never be the same

about

This album is my first EP and was made with the love & support of The Shags, whom I sing with when I'm not at school. We recorded the album in July of 2013 in Birmingham at the wonderful Ole Elegante Studios with Lester Nuby. The songs on the album are in chronological order and tell the story of one of the best relationships of my life. We are releasing it on my 21st birthday!

The album was produced by Philip Towns and financed by Blake Hood, my wonderful father, a great man & one to whom I couldn't give enough thanks.

I dedicated to album to my grandfather George Leon Cothren, another great man in my life. Growing up, my grandfather instilled in me the love of music, and he inspired me to work hard at my craft. He would practice for hours a day, sitting in front of his CD player & playing along with the bluegrass greats. He always had the best, funniest stories to tell, and he was mischievous & playful his whole life. He passed away just after Christmas a few years ago, and every day I miss him still. He taught me to love, to learn, and to be myself. I love you, Pepaw.
