Neil Diamond

It took a while for me to know What I was looking for
And ev'ry heart I've ever known Just left me wanting more
One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart And lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness And never get enough
When all you really need to find Is one good love
I followed all life's pleasures Wherever they would lead
But someone I can treasure Is all I really need
One good love can turn it all around
take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough,
When all you really need to find Is one good love
You can search the world for happiness And never get enough
When all you really need to find Is one good love, one good love

(Check it out I'm a little man
But you're my woman
And together we'll be strong)
The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Ain't no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just ain't no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I don't care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, I've seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words don't count at all
Because I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you

I remember the day that I drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And I'll be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once you're back in my arms
You won't be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, I've seen it in your eyes
They'll hurt you with their lies
But their words don't count at all
Because I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
No, I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
Me, I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you

Say that you'll marry me
Sometimes carry me
And I will be there forever more
For you
And if you marry me
I will give everything
And I will do anything that you need
We do
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know,
cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
This I promise
If you Marry me

Promise you'll stay with me
We'll make some memories
And maybe a dream or two
Will come true, who knows
This I can say for sure
All that I have is yours
You'll never wonder where I stand
It shows
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know,
cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
All I promise you I will be
If you'll only say you'll Marry me
I won't ever forget these words
And I'll love you for all I'm worth
If you say you will Marry me
Won't you Marry me
Marry me

Good morning, I love you
Now that you're here where you belong
I want to be the man you need
Just tell me, you love me
Because I need to hear it too
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you
I need you beside me
The road is so long
You run thru my heart
Like the words of a bitter sweet song
I'll travel the whole world
Across the earth, around the sun
If I could be the one
You carry deep inside of you

Without you beside me
The road is so long
You live in my heart
And it hurts when I think of you gone
I need you, in my way
I have no right to love so true
But let me be the one
The one who lives deep inside of you

Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

I know you worry everytime I go away
You wonder will these sweet sweet feelings shine or fade
But that's a question you don't have to ask
What heaven makes, it always makes to last
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
I wish that I could give you what you need from me
But what good is a promise or a guarantee
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time

Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long, long long time

Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies
And love will never leave me in the dark
No, love never breaks my heart
Like you do, like you do
Love doesn't have unapproachable walls
Or a heart that beckons and then withdraws
And love would never steal my dignity
Love has never made a fool of me
Like you do, like you do
Oh, and I have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love is unkind
It is not love anymore
Love never threatens of frightens me
It's not held together with apologies
Love never screams my name
No, and love never turns away
Like you do, like you do
And I have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love maybe unkind
Love never turns away
Like you do, like you do

You've gotta take your time now
If love is gonna take you by the hand
You need to take your time though
Cause love is not a thing you can command
There's gotta be a reason
Gotta be a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru in spite
of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
I listen to the river
And hear the river calling out a name
Trying to forgive her
But nothing's gonna ever be the same
There's gotta be a reason
Gotta be a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru
in spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there

Gotta be a reason
Gotta feel a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know it
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru
in spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
Can anybody out there hear me

I never noticed when you changed your hair
Just another of those moments,
I was only half there
When you wore that red dress,
that was kind'a up to here
I never noticed, you were wearing a tear

I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of
One time too often, I didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere I lost you, I never saw you
Only trying to win my love

It should have been easy,
for all of those times
It would have been me there,
if I knew the signs
When you wore that red dress,
how could I know then
You'd wear it for me once,
and never wear it again

I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of
One time too often, I didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere I lost you,
'cause I never saw you
Only trying to win my love
Somewhere I lost you, 'cuz I never saw you
Only trying to win my love

Something's gotta be known
Some don't need to be said
Which way we're gonna go
Staying home's just making me mad
Me, I gotta get out
Me, I got a few rights
Don't need to worry or doubt
'Cause I'm gonna be rocking tonight

Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows

You and me
Let it be
Be just fine
No limit to it anytime

Me, I'm telling the truth
Saying it right in the crowd
Any chance with you
Hey you know I'm gonna be around

Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows

If we don't make it
We don't make it
I won't cry
Well, I've been thinking
And I know one thing
We're never gonna make it
If we don't try

Me, I'm feeling good
Ain't no fooling around
I've been misunderstood
But I know what I'm talking about

Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me
Got to fly
Set it free
No limit if you just know how
Ain't no limit to what love allows

Being here is being where I want to be
I don't suppose you'll ever know how much you mean
And for all the heartaches we've been thru
I know that I could not forget my time with you
I'd much rather stay But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth To just reminisce for a while
There was a time I had the will to carry on
But I let go even though you're what I want
Could have been to keep you warm when I was gone
I never knew that near you's where I belong
I'd much rather stay But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile for all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth To just reminisce for a while

I'd much rather stay But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile or all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth To just reminisce for a while
We'll just reminisce for a while

Kentucky Woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She looks at you once
And a day that's all wrong looks all right
And I love her
God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky Woman
Well, she ain't the kind
Make heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turns you on just the same
And I love her
God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky Woman
I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, I'm talking about
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, I'm talking about
Kentucky Woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky Woman

If I lost my way Would you stand with me
Would you love me still And care for what I need
If I lost my way
If I lost my faith To face up to the test
Would I let you down Would you love me less
If I lost my way
Tell me I'm afraid without good reasons
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If I lost my way If I lost my way
If I lost my dreams Could I keep your trust
Promise that our love Would not turn to dust
If I lost my way
Tell me I'm afraid without good reasons
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If I lost my way Would you stand with me
Would you love me still And care for what I need
If I lost my way If I lost my way
If I lost my way If I lost my way

Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna be leaving
Everybody's the same around the world
If you wanna find someone
Then you only have to show it
Nothing's sadder than love that's left unheard
Me, how I try to deny
That it pointed to you
Too many roads up ahead
Looking shiny and new
Everybody needs someone
But it's gotta mean something
Giving up a part of you's the hardest part
If you wanna have someone
Then you really gotta know it
Doesn't take very much to break a heart
May I get lost in your eyes
For a lifetime or two
Something about your and I
Leads me right to the truth

Some people always got
Some thing they've got left to say
Some need to keep it inside
They just wanna hide away
And I'm glad I have you there
'Cause I would have been nowhere
Being here all alone's a lonely sound

Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna be leaving
Everybody's the same around the world

Tied by love to you, but I was tied too strong
Still I'm afraid of knowing what leaving means
I know I lived for you, and all I tried to do
You were the keeper of my dreams
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
You were always caring, always warm and kind
But that was long ago, when love was blind
And I don't want to hurt you, the way that I've been hurt
But if I stay I'll lose my mind
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Time is always moving
While we're here standing still
I love you even though I'm leaving
And maybe I always will
But, open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free

If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Set me free, yeah
Come on and set me free
Set me free

So long big city
It's time to say goodbye
I'm longing for
those country roads
I need to see the sky
Think I'll take a
swing down south
Visit Tennessee
See if that girl Annie
Still remembers me

Gonna take that
blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long,
but now I'm gone
And I know
where I'm bound
I don't wanna
take the interstate
It represents
all the things I hate
I'm rolling down
that blue highway

So long confusion
It's time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends
Ease on out of town
I made me some money here
I paid for every day
And every mile
just makes me smile
'Cause I've made my getaway

Gonna take
that blue highway
And leave
this sorry town
Stayed too long,
but now I'm gone
And I know
where I'm bound
I've had it up to here
with worry
From now on
I'm in no hurry
Rolling down
that blue highway

I'll be rolling down
that blue highway
And leave
this sorry town
Stayed too long,
but now I'm gone
And I know
where I'm bound
I've had it up to here
with worry
From now on
I'm in no hurry
Rolling down
that blue highway
Rolling down
that blue highway
You can find me on
that blue highway

I'm sittin' on a mountain
Searchin' for an answer
Hopin' there's a chance
That she'll be comin' back to me
Midnight dream
I'm waitin' on the mountain
Thinkin' I can find her
Maybe if I find her,
Here is where she'll want to be
Midnight dream
I made my way down to Mexico
I spend a year travelin' 'cross the ocean
Without goin' anywhere
A hundred miles to the nearest phone
A thousand miles from a place called home
And all alone in my despair
I'd call you there
My midnight dream
So I'm sittin' on a mountain
Lookin' 'cross a river
Needin' to be with her
More than I believed I'd be
Midnight dream
I'm sittin' all alone now
Knowin' what I know now
Thought I'd be a teacher
But she would end up teachin' me
Midnight dream
I know that I lost my way one night
But if you ask me
It don't seem right
To spend my life without you there
And so I climbed to the highest peak
Just hopin' somehow that I what I seek
Will somehow speak and you'll appear
My midnight dream
Where are you, don't let go
So I'm sittin' on a mountain
How can I explain it
I'm livin' with the pain of thinkin' how it
Still could be
Midnight dream
Love is what I'm thinkin'
No two ways about it
Go too long without it,
Nothing really means a thing
Midnight dream
But if you haven't decided yet
Might be the only chance we get
Let's don't forget 'bout you and me
I finally ended where I began
You see before you
The sorry soul, the lonely man
I've come to be
Please come to me
My midnight dream
Oh come to me
My midnight dream

My baby's Cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's not way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me

There was a time I wanted out on my own
I even thought that I'd be ok alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me

Chorus:
You are the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, your the part
That allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always
known
You are the best
Part of me

Love isn't easy and
It's not always kind
Sometimes you only
Have to make
Up your mind
That you can make it
and you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me

My baby's cryin' 'cause she cant run away
And if she could it wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it
And I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me

It's true baby, your the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, you're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me
Yes, you are the best part of me

Hey, if you ever want to get away a while
I got something you want to know
Sometime when your world is on fire
You got to pack your bags and then go
Hey, don't you know you don't belong here
Why don't you come along with me
I'm gonna take you right out of the picture
Put you right into a brand new scene
Open road ahead is all we need
Something says to go and we just leave
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive
Hey, yeah
So if you really want to get away quick
You need to get with a brand new beat
People around you just a little to slick
I got room here in my front seat
Hey, little girl just sittin' on a high fence
Ain't there a place you'd much rather be
Waitin' around here ain't makin' no sense
I got a way of gettin' us free
Open road ahead is all we want
Somethin' says to go and then we're gone
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive, see'mon now
So if you really want to chase the moon
I got a way to makin' it real
Turn up the sound on a get away tune
Can't wait to get behind the wheel
Yeah, if you really want to get out baby
Take you to where you want to be
Seem just a little bit lost, so baby
Why don't you come along and see
Open road is all we'll ever need
Never know where open roads can lead
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
We gonna drive
Come on and drive
Everybody, let's drive
Start up and get free
Drive, see'mon and drive
Yeah, baby, let's drive

You are my special someone
All I will ever need
I know I'd be lost without you
I hope you'd be lost without me
I've searched alone
But your the only one
You're what I want
When things are said and done
I guess I only needed
Someone who was just like you
Someone who'd be
My special someone too
I stumbled down love's main highway
But not without takin' some falls
I've seen my illusions fly away
Until I had none left at all
And then you rescued
What was left of me
What maybe some would call a fantasy
But me, I'd have to say it only proves
How strange love moves
I need to be your special someone too
'Cause what I needed most
Is what she gave to me
And where she lays her head
Is where I want to be
There's something wrong with losing
What we finally found
Now when I've lost my way
I've got my special someone round
And when she needed love
She found it here with me
Now where I lay my head
Is where she wants to be
I've got a secret but it's one
That's hard to keep
I want to tell the world
That special someone is my girl
That special someone is my girl
She wants to be my special someone too

Got a rock and roll ditty
From the heart of the city
To a country lane far away
Drums are beatin'
And the bass repeatin'
And it rocks you to sleep just the same

Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't take long
We'll be singin' Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Ya' got a rock and roll daddy
And you make him so glad
He's got a smile
A mile across his face
Movie star mom
Gonna keep you safe from harm
And she'll do it with style and grace

Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't be long
We'll be singing Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Little bitty child when you laugh
I smile
It's a feelin' I won't ever forget
Far from now
When you're wanderin' 'round
Here's a song that I left in your head
Dream, that's what you do
Dream, 'cause dreams come true
Someday when you're big and strong
You'll remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for words
Which speaks on a theme that's timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the sould
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, Holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your day

rally each heart at the sight
of your silver wings

Skybird, skybird

find your way
for none may know it

Lonely looking sky
lonely sky, lonely looking sky

Lonely looking night

As long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in Blue Jeans

Honey is sweet
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat
And if you'll pardon me
I'd like to say
We'd do okay
Forever in Blue Jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Money Talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
As long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in Blue Jeans, Babe

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no

Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh

And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go
Oh no, oh no

I see that worried look upon your face,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She's found somebody else to take your place;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
I too have lost my love today,
All of my dreams have flown away.
Now just like you I sit and wonder why;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You need some sympathy, well so do I,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She used to love me, that I know,
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking, that we were talking
The way that lovers do.
And so forgive me if I seem unkind,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
(Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend
That I ain't got no pity for you,
Well, that ain't true,
You see I love that little girl, little girl, little
girl.)
I'd help another place, another time,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come thru the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feelin' alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But "used to be's" don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
And I learned how to lie
Well you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
And yYou don't bring me flowers anymore

Well you'd think I could learn
how to tell you 'goodbye'
You don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore

Hey,

Lady, she got painted eyes

Have a way of talking to you

Cut your heart out for the prize

While the bitch sings hallelujah



Lordy,

Well I'm made of blood and bone

Na na na na na na na na na na

Surely, you know

I bleed when I get stoned

Na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na



Look at the way I made my bed

Rocks and knots and I'm half crazy

Get to dream 'bout bein' dead

But I ain't been that lucky lately



Lordy,

Well I'm made of blood and bone

Na na na na na na na na na na

Surely you know

I bleed when I get stoned

Na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na....



Lordy,

Well I'm made of blood and bone

Na na na na na na na na na na

Surely you know

I bleed when I get stoned

Na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na....

So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.I'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the sky.Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.See if that girl Annie still remembers me.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.I'm rollin' down that blue highway.
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.I'll be rollin' down that blue highway.You can find me on that blue highway.

Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She'd look at you once
And a day that's all wrong
looks all right
And I love her
God knows, I love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

Well, she ain't the kind
Makes heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turn you on just the same
And she loves me
God knows, she loves me

If she get to know you
She goin' to own you

Sweet and good

Where it began I can't begin to knowing
but then I know it's growing strong
was it in the spring
and spring became a summer
who'd believe you'd come along

hands touching hands
reaching out
touching me touching you

sweet caroline
good times never seem so good
I've been inclined
to believe they never would
but now I

look at the night
and they don't seem so lonely
we fill it up with only to
and when I hurt
hurting runs off my shoulder
how can I hurt when holding

one touching one
reaching out
touching me touching you

sweet caroline
good times never seem so good
I've been inclined
to believe they never would

oh no no
sweet caroline
good times never seem so good
sweet caroline
I believe they never could
sweet caroline...

Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

I'll talk about plans now, baby, I got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feelin' good

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

Young it was, true it was,
Days without wond'ring,
Fall with a special thing,
Laugh, if I could laugh,
And I did.
And the singer sings his song,
And the children dance along,
And the singer sings his song,
And we dance along.
Good it was when it was,
We chased the flowers,
Warm summer showers.
Once, it was once long ago.
And the singer sings his song,
And the children dance along,
And the singer sings his song,
And we dance along.
Once, it was once long ago.
And the singer sings his song,
And the children dance along,
And the singer sings his song,
And we dance along.
And the singer sings his song and we dance along

Hot August night and the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group tellin' you and me

It's love brother love say brother love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows brother love's show

Room gets suddenly still and when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat he walks in
Eyes black as coal and when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Startin' soft and slow like a small earthquake
And when he lets go half the valley shakes

It's love, brother love say brother loves traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows 'bout brother loves show

(Halleluja) Brothers (Halle, halleluja) I say brothers
Now you got yourself two good hands
And when your brother is troubled you've gotta
Reach out your hand for him 'cause that's what it's there for
And when your heart is troubled you've gotta reach out
Your other hand, reach it out to the man up there
'Cause that's what he's there for

Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

Love brother love say brother love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
I say love brother love say brother love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies of bornin'
Without you, without you

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief
Pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

[Chorus]
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief
Pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

[Chorus]

One two
One two three four
Woke up
it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing
that I heard
Was the song outside
my window
And the traffic wrote
the words
It came ringin' up like
Christmas bells
And rappin' up like pipes
and drums
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'til the
night comes
Woke up
it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing
that I saw
Was the sun through
yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Red green and gold to
welcome you
And crimson crystal beads
to beckon
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun shower
every second

Woke up
it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing
that I knew
There was milk and
toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in
like butterscotch
And stuck to all my seenses
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in
present tenses

I got a song been on my mind

And the tune can be sung
and the words all rhyme
Deedleee deet deet deet deet
deet deet deet dee dee
Though it don't say much
and it won't offend
If you sing it in school
then they're liable
to send you home
Never knowing
what you're showin'
Think you're growin'
your own tea
Good lord

Let me hear that
get me near that
Crunchy granola suite
Drop your shrink and
stop your drinkin'
Crunchy granola's neat
Sing it out
Alright
Da da da
Da da da da da
Dee dee dee dum
I know a man was outta touch

And he'd hide in a house
and he didn't say much
Deedleee deet deet deet deet
deet deet deet dee doo
And like a man with a tiger
outside his gate
Not only couldn't relax
but he couldn't relate
Now he can
Family man
Tried my brand
Dig

Let me hear that
Get me near that
Crunchy granola suite
Drop your shrink and
stop your drinkin'
Crunchy granola's neat
Sing it out
Alright

Stones would play inside her head,
And where she slept, they made her bed.
And she would ache for love and get
But stones.
La la la la la la la la la la home.
Lordy child a good days comin',
And I'll be there to let the sun in,
And bein' lost is worth the comin' home.
La la la la la la la la la on stones.
You and me a time for planting,
You and me a harvest granting,
The every prayer ever prayed,
We're just two wild flowers that grow.
La la la la la la la la la on stones

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was lo-ong
And the moon stood still for the night birds song
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go-o I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till your next hello
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry
For the good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away-ay-ay-ay

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know the girl's half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From the lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men are sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think that you may trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats that go by
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Only the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I you talk about me, the story's the same one

And I've tried, but it won't let me go

Drop your shrink and

Stones would play inside her head,
And where she slept, they made her bed.
And she would ache for love and get
But stones.
La la la la la la la la la la home.
Lordy child a good days comin',
And I'll be there to let the sun in,
And bein' lost is worth the comin' home.
La la la la la la la la la on stones.
You and me a time for planting,
You and me a harvest granting,
The every prayer ever prayed,
We're just two wild flowers that grow.
La la la la la la la la la on stones

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know the girl's half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From the lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men are sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think that you may trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats that go by
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Only the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror

Broken windows
In empty hallways
A pale dead moon
In a sky streaked with gray

Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away

Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet

Kick it down the street
And that's the way to treat a friend
Right before me
The signs implore me

Help the needy
And show them the way
Human kindness, is overflowing
And I think it's gonna to rain today

everybody knows one

me and you are subject to the blues now and then
but when you take the blues and make a song
you sing them out again

song sung blue
weeping like a willow
song sung blue
sleeping on my pillow


funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
and before you know it, start to feeling good
you simply got no choice.

Porcupine pie
porcupine pie
porcupine pie
Vanilla soup
a double scoop please
No maybe I want
maybe I won't
maybe I will
The titti fruit
with fruity blue cheese
Ah but porcupine pie
porcupine pie
porcupine pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
I know it sounds
a little strange
but you got to eat
it with gloves
or your hands will turn green

Ah but porcupine pie
porcupine pie
porcupine pie
It weaves
it's way through my dreams
And I do believe
I'm gonna have one
and leave enough room
for dessert
chicken ripple ice cream

Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre, y mi padre,
Canta mi corazon, Para los ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre.

I got music runnin' in my head,
Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'.
Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre y mi padre.

I got music runnin' in my brain,
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.
Canta libre, Canta la vida,
siempre conmigo, canta libre.

Canta libre, canta la vida.

Canta mi corazon, Paralos ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre,
de mi madre, y mi padre, canta libre, canta libre

Captain Sunshine
make me drink wine
Make me feel fine
when I'm feelin'
wrongly down
He don't take much
he don't make much
But ah to be such a man as he
and walk so pure between
the earth and the sea

Captain Sunshine
he do me fine
Make the words rhyme
when he knows
the tune is sad
He don't take much
he don't make much
But ah to be such a man as he
and walk so pure between
the earth and the sea

He don't take much
he don't make much
But ah to be such a man as he
and walk so pure between
the earth and the sea

She was moring
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
Come take me
For I've been lonely
In need of someone
As though I'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where
But I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road That was
thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play

Walk on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!

And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!

Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin',
Lordy, light the night away!

Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!

Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!

She walks on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

Morningside

the old man died

And no one cried

they simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table filled
with nails and pride
And with his hands he carved
these words inside
For my children

Morning light

morning bright

I spent the night

with dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness
from these eyes of mine
For I recall the
words an old man signed

For my children

And the legs were shaped
with his hands
And the table made
with oaken wood

And the children
that sat around this table
Touched it with their laughter
and that was good

Morningside

the old man died

And no one cried

he surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim
the gift he had
The words he carved became
his epitaph

For my children

Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She'd look at you once
And a day that's all wrong
looks all right
And I love her
God knows, I love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

Well, she ain't the kind
Makes heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turn you on just the same
And she loves me
God knows, she loves me

Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl, and life is
Sweet and good
Ain't no doubt
I'm talkin' about

Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

I'll talk about plans now, baby, I got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feelin' good

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go

I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing
Makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

Love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"

They never get tired of puttin' me down
And I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"

Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could
It's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Oh Mary
Can you hear my song?
Does it make a mournful sound?
I sang it once when first I saw you
And I sing it to you now.
Oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh
Talking bout love
Mary oh Mary oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary oh Mary oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary oh Mary oh
I'm lookin' for something I never knew
Mary oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you

Oh Mary
You can doubt the world,
But don't ever doubt in me
I sang it once that I'd never leave you
And that's how its gonna be
Oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh
Talkin' 'bout love

Mary Oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary ohhhh

If you're thinking that my life
Is a hoot and a holler
From the start of the day
To the dark of the night
And that its ringin' like a bell
That you only want to follow
Gotta trust me when I say
I'm just trying to get it right

Still I think about myself
As a lucky old dreamer
If you're askin' me to tell
Is it worth what I paid
You gonna hear me say

Hell yeah it is
And I say it loud
I loved it all
And I'm not too proud
I freed my soul...just let it fly
Hell yeah this crazy life around me
It confuses and confounds me
But it's all the life I've got until I die
Hell yeah it is

If you're asking for my time
Isn't much left to give you
Been around a good long while
So I gotta say it fast
Time is all we'll ever need
But it's gotta have a meaning
You be careful how it's spent
'Cause it isn't going to last

I hear you wondering out loud
Are you ever gonna make it?
Will you ever work it out?
Will you ever take a chance
And just believe you can?

Hell yeah you will
You're gonna be okay
And you might get lost
But then you'll find a way
Don't go alone
Can't be afraid
Hell yeah
This life is here and it's made for livin'
And love's a gift that's made for givin'
You give it all away and have it still
And Hell yeah you will

I've been living in a bowl
With a lot of people staring
With my feet on shaky ground
And my head up in the sky
But it's where I want to be
It's a life that's made for caring
Got a song to pass the day
And a girl to share the night

So if they ask you when I'm gone
Was it everything he wanted?
When he had to travel on
Did he know he'd be missed?
You can tell them this

Hell yeah he did!
He saw it all
He walked the line
Never had to crawl
He cried a bit
But not for long
Hell yeah
He found the life that he was after
Filled it up with love and laughter
Finally got it right
And made it fit
Hell yeah he did!
Hell yeah he did!
Hell yeah he did!

I was lost until you found me
You're the reason for my today
Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly
Thanks to you I gladly say

That if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame

Trust in me to share your burden
Stand by you where I belong
When life brings the day uncertain
I will soothe you with my song

And if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame

Fear no flood in stormy weather
Fear no fire if winds arise
Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever
And forever, it never dies

And if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame

If you're a captain of a shipwreck
You can find me up on the top deck
You'll be captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame.

Have we come this far to have gone astray?
I've been lost before, but not lost this way
You and me, thought we'd be
Evermore

Do I know you?
Did I ever?
Thought I did
Now, I know better
Saw the signs but not the danger
How'd you get to be a stranger at my door?

Promises got left behind
And reason fell between the lines
The words unsaid we should have spoken
Both misled and left us broken
Evermore

Have we said it all?
Is there more to say?
Thought we'd paid our dues
Is there more to pay?
What's to be of you and me
Evermore?

Was it love or just illusion?
All I see is our confusion
Came upon us unsuspecting
Here we are reflecting on the last of it

If you think of me in a year or two
Find that photograph showing me with you
What you see is what should be
Evermore

Why?
Tell me why
Don't know why
Oh, why?

Where's the truth we took for granted?
Walking out's not how we planned it
Played it loose, but stayed together
Thought we had the truth
But never knew the score

If it's done for now
And its time to go
There's one thing unsaid
Thought you'd want to know
Love you still...guess I will
Evermore

Love you still...yes I will
Evermore

How did I ever find you?
I've been waitin so long
But now your trouble's behind you
Time is hurrying on and all that I want
Is save me a Saturday night
Leave me some room at your table
Slip into your heart if I might
And stay just as long as I'm able
Baby, save me a Saturday night

I'll be someone you count on
Sure, it's hard to believe
But try just keep me around, I'm yours
I just want to be wherever you need me
Save me a Saturday night
Leave me some room at your table
I want to slip into your heart if I might
And stay just long as I'm able
Baby, save me a Saturday night

Save me a Saturday night
Leave me some room at your table
I want to slip in to your heart if I might
And stay there as long as I'm able
Baby, save me a Saturday night

Please...a Saturday night
Leave me some room at your table
I want to slip in to your heart if I might
And stay there as long as I'm able
Baby, save me a Saturday night

Pretty soon we were takin' it serious
Me and you underneath a mysterious spell
Nothin' I could do and it suddenly felt like a bolt out of hell
I'm tellin' you
To the sound of the beat I was hanging on
Like a powerful truth, it was banging on me
Wouldn't let me go
Like a shot in the dark she was hot like a spark
I only know
Neither one of us trying to hold it down
Neither one of us taking the middle ground
Wasn't how to make sense we were thinkin' of
Just the two of us bent on delirious love
Me and you being spent on delirious love
Like a ride on a rocket it took us up
Didn't want it to stop and it shook us up good
We were moving fast
Just ahead of the law
We were beggin' for more
And what a blast
Comin' round to a new kind of view of it
Never did it before we were doin' it now
And I gotta say it was easy to give
Was a reason to live another day
Neither one of us stopping to figure out
What the roll and the rockin' was all about
All we knew was that we couldn't get enough
You and me in the heat of delirious love
Makin' time to the beat of delirious love
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it

Come down had a new kind of view of it
Wouldn't do it before we were doin' it now
And I gotta say it was easy to give
Was a reason to live another day
Neither one of us stoppin' to figure out
What the roll and the rockin' was all about
All we knew was that we couldn't get enough
You and me in the heat of delirious love
Makin' time to the beat of delirious love
You and me gettin' sweet on delirious love
