I CAN READ CD

I CAN READ  ©2003, Purly Gates
Lyrics & Music by Purly Gates

1) When I read a book you know,           
It’s printed in black and white
The most amazing thing takes place             
As I read what the author writes

2)The words make pictures in my mind          
With colors bright and new
And then my eyes will begin to see           
An awesome, different view

Chorus: ‘Cause I can read, read, read,
        I can read, read, read,
        Words and pictures  dancin’ in  
        Color the world I see
         (Yes) I can read, read, read   
        I can read, read, read
        Every page I turn will           
        Color the world for me

3) Now anytime it’s raining,   
Or I’m stuck in my room,
I can travel anywhere        
And paint away the gloom
    Repeat chorus

4) Rainbows are full of colors  
Colors are full of light
When I fill up on stories,       
It makes my world so bright
    Repeat chorus

WRITE A STORY ©2006, Purly Gates
Lyrics by Purly Gates; Music by Sally Rogers

Chorus:  I’m gonna write a story , nobody but me could write  (2x)

1) I’ve got a good idea,       gonna think it through
    Fill in details,                 so it’s clear to you  
        Repeat chorus
2) I can pull you in,             if I use a hook
    With a twist and an end, organize like a book
        Repeat chorus
3) The words  will talk         so my voice shines through
    Comin’  from my heart      from me to you
        Repeat chorus
4) Find the very best words  have to pick and choose  
    Exactly what I need          precisely what I use
        Repeat chorus
5) My sentences will              be good to read aloud
    Some long some short        gonna do me proud
        Repeat chorus
6) Check the spelling now       punctuation too
    Use paragraphs                 to make it clear to you
        Repeat chorus
