Neil Diamond

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms

There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how low I've felt for so long
If you knew how I wanted someone
To come along
And change my life the way you've done

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there's a light

If you knew how much this moment
Means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given / givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and fortress be
As long as life endures

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun

The story of 'Amazing Grace'
It was written over 200 years ago
By a sailor whose life was spared
Through the grace of God

On a ship on a stormy sea
Where he survived while the seaman
Who took his watch perished
Inspiring these words

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Wish you a very merry, cherry cherry Christmas
and a holly holy holiday, too.
Underneath your tree may there always be
sounds of harmony, not a song sung blue.

Just a very merry, cherry cherry Christmas.
And if all of those who love you gather near,
you'll have a very merry, cherry cherry, holly holy,
rock and rolly Christmas this year.

When the snow drops on the treetops
it's a pretty amazing scene.
Hear the choir, light the fire.
Feels like pretty amazing grace if you know what I mean.

Oh yeah, it's Christmas time.

In a world of make-believe I'm a believer,
and I believe in things not always understood,


but the things you feel make believing real.
That's why Christmas feels so good, so good, so good.

When you imagine all the world as one great chorus,
you're gonna learn that every voice has got a song.
Let's raise a Christmas toast of red, red wine,
we'll even sing Sweet Caroline while the whole world sings along.

I hear music in the sound of children laughing.
It's a beautiful noise that fits you like a song.
Makes you wanna have a very merry, holly holy,
cherry cherry Christmas time the whole year long.

The whole year long...sing your Christmas song...the whole year long.
Cherry Christmas, Everyone!!!

Feel it, can you feel it?
Somethings coming, ain't it wonderful
Like a miracle, inspiration, jubilation, celebration coming round

This is Christmas said the wise-man
Join me seeker, walk beside me
I will take you to the blind man
He will show you what was lost on Christmas day

He took me through a Christmas dream
Where everything was strange and dear
There's nothing was the way it seemed
Without explaining what it means

As men and women, sons and daughters
Wait like children for their gifts on Christmas day

Christmas dream
I saw me there
Christmas dream
I called my name in my sleep
I looked away, was only thinking of myself

Feel it, can you feel it?
If you want to it can heal you
Like a miracle, inspiration, jubilation celebration going down

This is Christmas said the wise-man
To the sailor lost on dry land
Let me take you to the harbour
Stand beside you and lead you farther on your way

They headed for a Christmas dream
The one that changed it all for me
The one that somehow made me see


That I'd become what I should be

When men and women, sons and daughters
Become children at the break of Christmas day

Christmas dream it comes to me
Christmas dream, when I'm alone
When I'm lost, it brings me home
That Christmas dream awake in me

Christmas dream
Was something that it spoke to me
It told what Christmas had to be
And when I found it I was free

Said men and women,sons and daughters
Are all forgiven when they wake on Christmas day

Christmas dream at Christmas time
Christmas dream I found my way
Came to me and now I pray
That Christmas lives forever

Christmas dream on Christmas day
Christmas dream the whole world gives
I can see because we live
It speaks to me in every way

Christmas dream it fills my mind
It makes me see I came to find
That we can be together
And not forget the Christmas dream

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the season to by jolly
Fa la la la la la, la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la la, la la la la

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding
Oh bring some right here

We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring some right here

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in
Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

Let every heart
Let every soul
Let every one
Come hear the sound

Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven
And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world
The Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat,
Repeat the sounding joy

And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven
And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing

And heaven
And heaven and nature sing

And heaven
And heaven and nature sing

Joy unto the world
Let nature sing

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside, the snow is falling

And friends are calling: "You hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's go
Just look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, it's grand

Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry, fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like

Birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop

At the fireplace
While we watch the chestnuts pop
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee

And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing

Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Oh yeah, lovely weather
For a sleigh ride with you, with you
Me and you
Snuggle up closer, babe

There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and so few Hanukah songs
So I thought we'd try this one for you
Put on your yamakah,
here comes Hanukah,
so much funikah to celebrate Hanukah here

Hanukah is,
the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights!

When you feel like the only kid in town,
without a Christmas tree,
Here's a list of people who are Jewish,
just like you and me!

David Lee Roth,
lights the Menorah,
so do James Cann, Kirk Douglas and the late Dinah Shora,
Guess who eats together at the Carnegi Deli,
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzarelli!

Paul Newman is half Jewish,
Goldie Hawn is too,
put them both together what a FINE looking Jew!

You don't have to Deck the Halls with Jingle Bell Rock,
'cause you can spin a dreidel with Captian Kirk and Mr. Spock!
(both Jewish!)

Put on your yamakah,
Here comes Hannukah,
Some much funikah to
celebrate Hanukah!

OJ Simpson,
Not a Jew!
but guess who is?,
Hall o' Famer Rod Carew!



We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish!
Not too shabby!

Some people think that
Ebenezer Scrooge is,
well he's not but guess who is?
all three Stooges!!!

So many Jews are on my list
Tom Cruise isn't,
but Jesus Christ is!

Put on your yamakah,
Here comes Hannukah,
So much funikah to
celebrate Hanukah here!

Hanukah is,
the festival of lights,
instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights!

So tell your friend Veronica,
its time to celebrate Hanukah!
And don't forget harmonica,
on this lovely, lovely Hanukah!
So drink your gin and tonicah,
Don't smoke your marijuanikah!
if you really, really wannukah,
have a happy, happy, happy, happy,
HANUKAH!

Oh yes
Happy Hanukah You'all

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

And everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"

Yeah, so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"
"Merry Christmas to you"

The sun is shining
The grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway.
There's never seen such a day
In Beverly Hills L.A.
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white.

Yes
I'm dreaming of that white Christmas
There's nothing like
That newly fallen snow
Treetops glisten,
And children all listen
Hear some sleigh bells in the snow.
You know it's so

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be
May every Christmas Day be
May all your Christmases
Be any color you like

Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry,
Merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be
May all your Christmases be
May all your Christmases be white

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow
We can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun
With mister snowman
Until the other kids
Come knock him down

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll be walking in a winter
Winter wonderland

Look at us now,
Part of it all
In spite of it all
We're still around
Lovers in love,
Just like we were
Being apart's a lonely sound
When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes, you know that I do
Look at the sun
Shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place
Lovers in love,
That's what we are
I reach for that star out there in space
'Cause you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
And you know that's it true
Sleepy we are
But happy together
Sounds of forever
Greet the day
So wake up the kids
Put on some tea
Light up the tree
It's Christmas day
Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes you know that I do
All year long
Light up the tree
It's Christmas time

ALL I REALLY NEED IS YOU
Written by Neil Diamond, Tom Hensley and Alan Lindgren
After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here's what I conclude
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All I really need is you

How was I to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied you life to mine Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks of me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it's true
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowin' how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world

Have I spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so
'Cause all I really need is you

AMERICA
Written by Neil Diamond
Far
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America

Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America

They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today

My country 'tis of thee
Today
Sweet land of liberty
Today
Of thee I sing
Today
Of thee I sing
Today

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat

It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It's got a rhythm to spare

It's a beautiful noise
And it's sound that I love
And it's fit me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the park
It's the song of the kids
And it plays until dark

It's the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To beat of the lights

It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise

It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy an of strife
Like a symphony played
By a passing parade
It's the music of life

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up to my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin'
Neil go find your brother
Daddy's home
and it's time for supper
Hurry on
And I see two boys
Racin' up two
flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers
warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn roads
I can still recall
The smells of cookin'
in the hallways
Rubbers drying
in the doorways
And report cards
I was always
Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there
softly crying
Teacher'd say
He's just not trying
He's got a good head
if he'd apply it
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

Thought of going back
But all
I'd see are stranger's faces
And all the scars
that love erases
But as my mind walks through
thoses places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads
Brooklyn roads

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling 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
Telling you and me

It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
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

Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes

It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show

(sermon)
Take my hand in your hand
Walk with me this day

I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

It's Love, Love

No, no you don't
Ah, to be so exciting

No, no we won't
Gonna make our own lighting

She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me

No, we won't tell a soul where we gone to
Girl, we do whatever we want to
Ah, I love the way that you do me
Cherry, babe, you really get to me

She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have made me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin Rose, you're a store bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's al right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah

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

She wants to take it just a little bit further now
Don't let it happen,
Cause if you let her in,
She's gonna take it away
Makin' you pay.
And what are you gonna say?
You better beware
And don't go there.

Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you
Cause if you let her play with you know what
You know what she's gonna do
She's gonna take it from you
That's just what she's gonna do
I don't know where
And don't go there.

The voice is sitting on my shoulder and telling me
The night is warm now but it might be getting colder
Better look out friend
Before you finally decide which way to go
I hope you stop and review
The scenario and how it ends
So just take care
And don't go there.

Alright...

Don't say I didn't warn you my friend.
If you think it'll last
May be time to start thinking again.
You're lookin' for love and you think that you'll find it soon
You're looking to put it away in the bank and save it
Follows you around like the odor of cheap perfume
You're paying a price when your heart has been misbehavin'
Don't go there
Don't go there.

You'll want to play it safe
And make no promises
If she understands the rules of the game but maybe work out fine
But baby take your time and don't you be unkind
But till that's clear
Then don't go there.

This thing is liable to take some funny turns
The only thing, a real concern to me
Is having you protect yourself
It's not like either one of you is flying blind
But in the heat of things,
You got to apply your mind to something else.
No, life ain't fair
Don't go there.

Once you're in, you might not get out.
He he he he

You're looking for love in the back of a limousine
You're looking for something that's missing inside to fill you.
If you think you can run on the power of nicotine
They got a new drug for your mood that'll surely thrill you.
Don't go there
Don't go there

This ain't the Bible, and it ain't no moral tale
If it's a lesson in survival, you can learn it
If it's not too late
But don't you wait
Or hesitate
The lesson's clear
Please don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there.

But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
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

Wearin' my high boots,
Got all my world lies here in a sack
Looking for something,
Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at
Ain't looking back
I'm comin',
Ride by thumbin',
Get by bummin'
I'm on my way

Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me

Caught me a pick-up
Down from Seattle through to L.A.
Seems like those folks
Go chasin' a new star every day
Ain't gonna stay
In Nevada, through Wyomin',
Colorado I'm on my way

Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me

Met so many others
Wanted to know which way to go
Louisiana, New York City
They wanted the answer
They'd ask of me.
Friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I got a heavy load
And I know glory road's waiting for me
Rest my load,
Now I know glory road won't set me free

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!

Holly holy eyes
Dream of only you
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly Holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be filled with tomorrow
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy dream
Dream of only you
Holly holy love
Holly holy love

Home before dark
Before the night comes falling
The sun going down
And I can hear you calling
I followed my star
Just to be where you are
But I couldn't get far
In the dark

Home before dark
Before the day deserts me
I looked for my truth
Knowing the truth might hurt me
Been traveling light
Just the head of the night
And I'll be getting home right
Before dark

I've been searching
Can't explain
Looked for reasons
But what I found in me
Know for certain
Things are changing
I've been changing
Now I need you to be
Home where I can see

Home before dark
Before the light escapes me
To be at your side
That's where the journey takes me
And I've been afraid
If I lost my way
Then I wouldn't be save
Before dark

I've got stories
I wanna tell you
You need to hear them
Maybe then you'll see
That I've found them
Never knowing
They were going
On inside of me
It's where I had to be

Home before dark
Know you'll be waiting for me
To be at your door
And talking to a fool
In the morning
Been so long
The places I know
But I knew I'd get home
Before dark

Because of you
I get home
Before dark

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

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given / givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet house that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
And feel it one more time

Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

Here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go

Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe
It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

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

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

Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink And I'll tell you some lies
Got nothin' to lose
So you just sing the blues all the time
Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
May be blue skies above
But it's cold when you love's on the rocks
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And I'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone
And now all I want is a smile

I'm a man of God
Though I never learned to pray
Walked the pathways of the heart
Found him there along the way

And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of faith
And faith is something you can't see
But if we want to make it through
Faith is how it's got to be

I'm thanking you Lord for giving me song
For making me strong
And for taking my hand
I'll go up to heaven when I reach the end
But up until then
Gonna do what I can

And I can, yes I can be a man of peace
Plant it like a tiny seed
It grows a little when you give
And gives you back when you're in need

No I am, yes I am, I'm a man of song
Gonna sing it far and near
Gonna make a joyful sound
One that every heart can hear

Singing for Him is like touching the sky
I don't need to know why
I just know that it is

Each time I sing out I want to rejoice
'Cause when I hear my voice
I believe that it's His

And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of hope.
I haven't stopped believin' yet
And while we're headin' down that road
Hope is what we can't forget

And I am yes I am, I'm a man of God
Know I am, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of faith
I'm a man, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of peace
And I am, yes, I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of song

I'm a man of God
Man of God

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

Pretty amazing grace is
what You showed me
pretty amazing grace is
who You are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
and with amazing grace
restored my pride
Pretty amazing grace
is how You saved me
and with amazing grace
reclaimed my heart
love in the midst of chaos
calm in the heat of war
showed with amazing grace
what love was for
You forgave my insensitivity
and my attempt to then mislead You
You stood beside a wretch like me
Your pretty amazing
grace was all I needed

Stumbled inside the doorway
of Your chapel
humbled in God by everything I found
beauty and love surround me
freed me from what I fear
ask for amazing grace
and You appear
You overcame my loss
of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could belive in
You led me to a higher place
showed Your amazing grace
when grace was what I needed

look in a mirror
I see Your reflection
open a book You live on every page
I fall and You're there to lift me
share every road I climb
and with amazing grace
You ease my mind
Came to You with
empty pockets first
when I returned I was rich man
didn't believe love
could quench my thirst
but with amazing grace
You showed me that it can

In Your amazing grace
I had a vision
from that amazing place
I came to be
into the night I wandered
wandering aimlessly
found Your amazing
grace to comfort me

pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
You overcame my loss
of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to that higher place
showed me that love and truth
and hope and grace were all I needed

Melinda was mine 'Til the time
That I found her Holding Jim
Loving Him Then you came along
Loved me strong That's what I thought
Me and you But that died too
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man Solitary man
I've had it to here Bein' where
Love's a small word
Part-time thing Paper ring
I know it's been done Havin' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong Weak or strong
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man Solitary man

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.

Hey, let me show you the street life.
Hey, let me show you the finks, the punks, the judge, the junkie.
Stay close to me for a while, for a while, for a while.
Say boy, you got to get street wise.
Hey, little boy, you're a babe in arms, stay out of harm's way
Right here with me for a while, for a while, for a while.
Street life, hell in the city.
You got to really watch out for that street life.
Say, it ain't pretty, you got to know your way around
Or somehow you might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt.
Say, let me show you the night life.
Say, let me show you the queens, the dudes,
The class, the crudes, the folks that inhabit the night.
Let me set it right.
I'm gonna give you my warning,
I'm gonna tell you the street's alive the sound of jive,
You've just arrived.
Try it for size for a while, for a while.
Street life, hell in the city.
You got to really watch out for that street life.
Say, it ain't pretty, you got to know your way around
Or somehow you might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt.

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 takin' me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We got 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 to turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feeling 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

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 be
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
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
So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye

You 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
And you don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore

[Chorus]
Song-maker
You heart-breaker
You figure
Better stop it while you can
You know you're just a worthless daydreamer
But hey dreamer
It's time to act like a man

Song writin'
It's just a little bit frightenin'
Like playin' with lightening
I'm not complainin' now you understand
You get to sing and dance all day
Like children play
But it's time to act like a man

Bein' a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside tells me so
And I know
What I know.

Say lover
Better discover
Some other way to turn your head around again
And really don't you wait now
It's gettin' late now
It's time to act like a man

Bein' a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside tells me so
And I know what I know

[Chorus]

You've got to act like a man.
Why don't you grow up and act like a man?

She wants to take it just a little bit further now
Don't let it happen,
Cause if you let her in,
She's gonna take it away
Makin' you pay.
And what are you gonna say?
You better beware
And don't go there.

Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you
Cause if you let her play with you know what
You know what she's gonna do
She's gonna take it from you
That's just what she's gonna do
I don't know where
And don't go there.

The voice is sitting on my shoulder and telling me
The night is warm now but it might be getting colder
Better look out friend
Before you finally decide which way to go
I hope you stop and review
The scenario and how it ends
So just take care
And don't go there.

Alright...

Don't say I didn't warn you my friend.
If you think it'll last
May be time to start thinking again.
You're lookin' for love and you think that you'll find it soon
You're looking to put it away in the bank and save it
Follows you around like the odor of cheap perfume
You're paying a price when your heart has been misbehavin'
Don't go there
Don't go there.

You'll want to play it safe
And make no promises
If she understands the rules of the game but maybe work out fine
But baby take your time and don't you be unkind
But till that's clear
Then don't go there.

This thing is liable to take some funny turns
The only thing, a real concern to me
Is having you protect yourself
It's not like either one of you is flying blind
But in the heat of things,
You got to apply your mind to something else.
No, life ain't fair
Don't go there.

Once you're in, you might not get out.
He he he he

You're looking for love in the back of a limousine
You're looking for something that's missing inside to fill you.
If you think you can run on the power of nicotine
They got a new drug for your mood that'll surely thrill you.
Don't go there
Don't go there

This ain't the Bible, and it ain't no moral tale
If it's a lesson in survival, you can learn it
If it's not too late
But don't you wait
Or hesitate
The lesson's clear
Please don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there.

Oh I try to right by you
Yeah, yeah, yeah where did it get me?
And I tried to do everything I knew
Don't seem fair 'cause look where you left me

You've got me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
You been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I'm doing my time
Under a sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten

Now I'm sending out an S.O.S
Before I drown somebody save me
And I tried you know that I did my best
You took me down to where I been lately

You've got me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
You been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I'm doing my time
Under that sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten

Been thinking bout you everyday
Baby not just now and then
There's got to be a better way
Don't wanna be f, o, r, go, t, t, e, n no

I'm feeling like I've been used
You were gone before we got started
And I know it ain't gonna make the news
You led me on then you departed

You've left me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
That you been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I'm doing my time
Under that sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten

Home before dark
Before the night comes falling
The sun going down
And I can hear you calling
I followed my star
Just to be where you are
But I couldn't get far
In the dark

Home before dark
Before the day deserts me
I looked for my truth
Knowing the truth might hurt me
Been traveling light
Just the head of the night
And I'll be getting home right

Can't explain
Looked for reasons
But what I found in me
Know for certain
Things are changing
I've been changing
Now I need you to be
Home where I can see

Home before dark
Before the light escapes me
To be at your side
That's where the journey takes me
And I've been afraid
If I lost my way
Then I wouldn't be save
Before dark

I've got stories
I wanna tell you
You need to hear them
Maybe then you'll see
That I've found them
Never knowing
They were going
On inside of me
It's where I had to be

Home before dark
Know you'll be waiting for me
To be at your door
And talking to a fool
In the morning
Been so long
The places I know
But I knew I'd get home
Before dark

Because of you
I get home
Before dark

If I don't see you again
It was a hell of a ride
Don't need to say let's be friends
Don't need to promise you'll write

We rode that train through the night
And never cared where it went
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again

We ran a whole other race
Two strangers meet on the road
And find a time and a place
We never once had to lie
We've passed the age of conscent
If I don't see you again

I know it's crazy out there
My head is sleeping around
I went out looking for love
And never liked what I found

Don't pay to make it alone
God knows it's lonely out there
I made it once on my own
And hardly anyone cared
If I don't see you again

Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind when the nights
It's suddenly cold
Who's gonna hold you
Who's gonna love you
Who will you go to

Who you gonna call if it ain't me
When you're feeling lost
And there is nobody out there
Looking for you
What will you do
Where will you go
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again

You made it happen somehow
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
Something you see turn around
Don't need to know what you meant
If I don't see you again

And at the end of the day
I hated sleeping alone
There's nothing worse when you're lost
And you don't wanna go home
It's gonna work out some way
I just don't wanna be found
I'm waiting here round the bay
And I'll be hanging around
If I don't see you again

Who am I kidding
I'm going nowhere
I can't even get through
An hour without you
Should be ashamed
Just wanna hear you
Calling my name

Two of those missed conventions
These men must have somehow missed something more
Cause we're here alone
I know we're together
To fall apart
I know how to get back home
Each time we say that
Cause you're frustrated too long
You've been too lonely to know
To find that something is wrong

The time if perfect to go
Before the curtain descents
Right now when both of us know
That everything has got to end
If I don't see you again

What's it gonna come to baby
Who you gonna hide behind when the nights
Get filled up with dirt
Looking to run
You're running away
And when you came on to save me
Doesn't look like the future is clear
I need you to hear me
Praying to
But nobody hears me
I had a plan to the moon
Each time you're saying good bye
Cause if I stayed for too long
You get too lonely to work
To find that something was wrong

The time is perfect to go
Before the curtain descents
Right now when both of us know
Everything has got to end
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again

Somehow we both made it through
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
You went and turned me around
Could be with something you said
I couldn't make out the sound
I didn't care what it meant
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again

No words could say, how I love you
No words could be as true
I've looked through books and read through the dictionaries
But I found no words for you
No words no words no words
Oh no oh no

No words can define what I'm feeling
When I feel close to you
No words can bring that magic kind of heeling
Just as much as your touch can do

[Chorus: ]
No words, no words, no words
Oh no oh no no words

Well I'll admit there may be one or two
That danced around in my head
But words that talk about me and you
Are better felt than said there are no

Words that can tell our story
They just get in the way
It's all about the feelings that you're feeling
Now about the words that you say

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

Well I'll admit there may be one or two
Been swimming 'round in my head
But what they say about me and you
Is better felt then said there are no

There are no words
Words that can solve life's mystery
Or explain God's eternal plan
We only knows enough to ask the questions
Not enough to understand

[Chorus:]

Been away from you for much too long
Been away but now I'm back where I belong
Believed while I was gone away
But I do just fine
But I couldn't get the music of my mind
And I couldn't leave the needing you behind

Read the word from the page
Free the bird from the cage
Just go out there and face
What you did, before
Did it once
You can do it once more
Yeah

[Chorus: ]
Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
'Cause you know you're not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple is all
You gonna need to bring it home

I couldn't count the chances that I've lost
Couldn't count the chances or the cost
But I can't help thinking about the days
Of way back when
And I know I wanna taste them once again
Yes I know I wanna taste them once again

Got some things to be said
Going round in my head
Time to get out of bed
'Cause I've slept too long
And I know there's a place I belong
Yeah

[Chorus: ]

Was a time that I won't ever forget
They were times that I will never regret
I've been thinking about those days
Since way back when
And thinking I could bring back again
Just maybe I could bring them back again

One more dance in the night
One more chance to get it right
One more grab at the brass ring that's flying by
One more toast to the mud in your eye
Yeah

[Chorus: ]

I'll be back
And sitting up high on the saddle
All I want
Is to do it once more
Let me get through that door
'Cause I still do believe that I can
Want that one more bite of the apple
And just a chance to taste it, once again

Been around the world a time or two
Everywhere I've been I thought of me and you
I was hoping you'd remember how it used to be
And maybe that you'd still remember me
And that apple just as sweet as it could be
Reach right up and pick one of that apple tree

Pretty amazing grace is
what You showed me
pretty amazing grace is
who You are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
and with amazing grace
restored my pride
Pretty amazing grace
is how You saved me
and with amazing grace
reclaimed my heart
love in the midst of chaos
calm in the heat of war
showed with amazing grace
what love was for
You forgave my insensitivity
and my attempt to then mislead You
You stood beside a wretch like me
Your pretty amazing
grace was all I needed

Stumbled inside the doorway
of Your chapel
humbled in God by everything I found
beauty and love surround me
freed me from what I fear
ask for amazing grace
and You appear
You overcame my loss
of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could belive in
You led me to a higher place
showed Your amazing grace
when grace was what I needed

look in a mirror
I see Your reflection
open a book You live on every page
I fall and You're there to lift me
share every road I climb
and with amazing grace
You ease my mind
Came to You with
empty pockets first
when I returned I was rich man
didn't believe love
could quench my thirst
but with amazing grace
You showed me that it can

In Your amazing grace
I had a vision
from that amazing place
I came to be
into the night I wandered
wandering aimlessly
found Your amazing
grace to comfort me

pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
You overcame my loss
of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to that higher place
showed me that love and truth
and hope and grace were all I needed

Pick it up
Hurry up son
We gotta run if you wanna get down
Clean speed
Where does it need you
If you wanna succeed
I'm thinking you need to
But are y really sure

It's a lot to endure
But I got me a cure
Slow it down!
Slow it down you
Slow it down
Take your time and you'll find your time has a meaning
Easy now
Catch those sounds of your heartbeat before it's leaving
You say you want satisfaction
Just steaming away from the action
Get some traction
Between you and the scenery

Say hello way
Not to fast
It don't last
Just follow my reflection

Day by day
See that view
It's for you
Just pay some affection

Forget about competition
Your dover and intuition
Stop your wishing
Won't get there by dreaming

Slow it down!
Slow it down you
Take your time
Even last and reclaim
Desine and desting

Doing fine
Make it flow
Let it go
You'll see it walk the alley
You're looking for bitter and greater
And counting on sooner and later
That's the way you won't be free
Slow it down!
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down you
Slow it down
Slow it down

[Chorus]
Whose hands are these
That reach into a secret place
Whose hands are these
That brush across my sleeping face
Like quiet waves, on silent shores
Whose hands are these
These hands are yours

Whose name is called
To find my soul in need of care
Whose name is called
To answer when that need is there
A name that sings, who's music sours
Whose name is called
That name is yours

When I need peace
A quiet that belongs to me
To be released
From on a loud and angry scene
I think of you
Thinking of you quiets me
As only you can do
For me

Whose eyes are these
That see into this place I live
Whose eyes are these
Show me what Ive yet to give
That see beyond unopened doors
Whose eyes are these
These eyes are yours

Where do I go
When not a door is open wide
What can I know
When questioned asked are un-replied
I know of one
One is all I need to confide
To fill that place inside
Of me

[Chorus]

Whose hands are these
These hands are yours

Ain't no way
To get you out of me
Baby, there ain't no way
In the whole wide world

I'm about to see
By and by
You're all I ever need
Baby, when I forget how good life is

You bring it home to me
And I say hey

Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey

Hey Hey
Ain't no way
Good time come
Ain't no doubt on it

Tomorrow sure looks somethin' else
No matter where I sit
Good time here
Big plum without no pit

And baby, there ain't no way to forget
That you're the why of it
And I say hey

Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey

Hey Hey
Ain't no way
And I say hey

Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey

Ain't no way
Hey Come on, hey

Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey

Ain't no way

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

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.

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Holly holy eyes
Dream of only you
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly Holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be filled with tomorrow
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy dream
Dream of only you
Holly holy love
Holly holy love

I knew a man
Bojangles and
he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair a ragged shirt
and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in
New Orleans I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be
the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed clicked
his heels and stepped

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance
He said his name
Bojangles and
he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed
his pants a better stance
he jumped so high
Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh
let go a laugh
Pushed back his
clothes all around
He danced for those
in minstral shows
and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of
fifteen years
how his dog and him
Traveled about
The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years
he still grieves

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance
He said I dance now
at every chance in
honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time
I spend behind
these county bars
He said I drinks a bit
He's his head
And as he's his head
I heard someone
ask him please

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
Didn't want the mayor to come
Or a big brass band to greet me
But then the reception I got
Well it wasn't what I had in mind
People gawkin' at me
Like I'm talkin' strange
Me, I ain't much better
'Cause I'm thinkin' the same


Hey boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
Sayin' why'all and eatin' on grits
Talkin' as slow as molasses
And all the time just pointing at me
And the hair growin' over my ears
Gets my mind to wondering
Just who's right and who's wrong
I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns
I'll get used to the corn

Hey boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
New York City look at me now

Smokey Lady
Spend your time
Makin' full grown men a full grown baby
Move on, move on,

Move on, move on, move on
But I'm just settlin'
'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately
Smokey Lady, what you do to me

Got me goin'
Night time women
Half not carin', half not knowin'
Come on, come on,

Come on, come on, come on
Have a good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see

Smokey Lady run before me,
Run behind me
Where you're goin'
Come on, come on,

Come on, come on, come on
Have good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see

Smokey Lady
Smokey Lady

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask for ever, honey
Love me, now
This love of mine
Had no beginning; it has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And though
I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me, honey
Love me
Love me
You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, Your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now now now now

Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

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

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin'
Neil go find your brother
Daddy's home
and it's time for supper
Hurry on
And I see two boys
Racin' up two
flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers
warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn roads
I can still recall
The smells of cookin'
in the hallways
Rubbers drying
in the doorways
And report cards
I was always
Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there
softly crying
Teacher'd say
He's just not trying
He's got a good head
if he'd apply it
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

Thought of going back
But all
I'd see are stranger's faces
And all the scars
that love erases
But as my mind walks through
thoses places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads
Brooklyn roads

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

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

Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'.

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

he don't make much
But ah to be such a man as he

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

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

One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
And like a child believing dreams
Always a dream to take you home
Day, after the day, there comes the night

There comes the knowing when you laugh
If you should laugh,
The night alone will hear
And the night don't care

Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you

One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
Hearing of things that I once had
That you once had
And when the night would come

We'd sleep like one
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning

I've been waiting so long for you
I've been waiting so long for you...

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have made me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rose, you're a store bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's al right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rose, you're a store-baught woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no question, yeah

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
