So sweep away the sand an' dry the ocean, an' just pack the moon an' stars up in a cardboard box. and stop the clouds from chimin', block the sun from shinin',an' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue, 'cause my world's over without you.

So Sweep Away The Sand An' Dry

So sweep away the sand an' dry the ocean, an' just pack the moon an' stars up in a cardboard box. and stop the clouds from chimin', block the sun from shinin',an' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue, 'cause my world's over without you.

More From Kenny Rogers

High in the air rises the forest of oaks, high over the oaks soar the eagle, high over the eagle sweep the clouds, high over the clouds gleam the stars... high over the stars sweep the angels.
Stars Angel Clouds
There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.
Loneliness Animal Moon
The thoughts that occur to me while i’m running are like clouds in the sky. clouds of all different sizes. they come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky always. the clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky.
Running Sky Clouds
Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.
Blue Color Sky
We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

I turn and i look back across the lake. the mist is gone and the ice diminished, the drip of the icicles quick and heavy. the sun is up and the sky is blue empty blue light blue clear blue. i would drink the sky if i could drink it, drink it and celebrate it and let it fill me and become me. i am getting better. empty and clear and light and blue. i am getting better.

As evening approached, i came down from the heights of the island, and i liked then to go and sit on the shingle in some secluded spot by the lake; there the noise of the waves and the movement of the water, taking hold of my senses and driving all other agitation from my soul, would plunge me into delicious reverie in which night often stole upon me unawares.

There is justice in the world, peter lake, but it cannot be had without mystery.

When you're young you think that you're going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace. this is profoundly untrue.
Thinking Lakes Lovely
Our great lakes, harbors, ports, and rivers provide not only vital resources for us to live, but an entire maritime way of life for so many people. the least we can do is protect it, and the way of life it provides for so many.
