Acoustic Folk Art 1, Track 8, 03:45
Sparkle Lady

Sparkle lady 
You've been moving s
o, so fast 
And I fear you're burning out 
And I fear you're losing touch 
But I know that in you somewhere 
There's a very special girl 
And I miss that girl 
Oh so very much ​

You've become the kind of person 
Who can say hi and not mean it 
You've got so much charm
But it does so much harm 
I wonder at how you can't see it 
Your smile's a photographic plate 
It’s so easy to duplicate 
But how the image fades
When you’re alone 

Sparkle lady 
You've been moving s
o, so fast 
And I fear you're burning out 
And I fear you're losing touch 
But I know that in you somewhere 
There's a very special girl 
And I miss that girl 
Oh so very much 

Be still and listen
To what you find 
In the creases of your mind 
You may be surprised
At what you hear 
The very colors we possess 
Coloring our emptiness 
A stained glass window 
Is hard to see through 

Sparkle lady
You've been moving s
o, so fast 
And I fear you're burning out 
And I fear you're losing touch 
But I know that in you somewhere 
There's a very special girl 
And I miss that girl 
Oh so very much 
Song Notes

I was in college and single when I wrote this one.    A year or two later I was taking guitar lessons from a talented gentleman named Jonathon Pointer who was living in Kansas City at the time. Our arrangement was that I gave him a cassette tape of my songs and paid him a small fee each lesson to help me find more interesting ways to chord them while keeping the melody.  He came up with a really nice chord arrangement on this one with some Jim Croce-esk styled runs.  Over the years, I've made other changes to the lyrics and structure.  A song never seems finished to me.  They're like stones that keep getting tumbled in a Missouri creek.
