Sunk a battleship
Flew with a bluebird
Sang a song with Frank
That everybody heard
My friend is here
My friend is here
My friend is here
Reached a miracle
Crossed a mountain
Ate a lunch with Christ
Stole a diamond
My friend is here
My friend is here
My friend is here
Have you met my friend my friend
He will take you in my friend
Have you met my friend my friend
He will take you in my friend
My friend is here
Got a raise to one
Stayed out until two
Quit before it was done
Not caring whether through
My friend is here
My friend is here
My friend is here
Don't you ever think about
The things you can't explain in life
The questions that have no answers
Where you're goin' when you die
And how far up is the sky
And why you find comfort in a preacher?
Oh Lord, my head needs peace
Oh Lord, will wonder never cease?
Something that's inside your brain
That makes your body feel the pain
Of words that were spoken
The way your ego seems to wilt
The morning when you feel the guilt
Of a promise that was broken
Why you feel the way you do
When some one that is close to you
Finds she has to go away
Why the town is always still
On Sunday when they ring the bell
Is it what they have to say?
I was a inexperienced boy who just turned fifteen
She was a worldly woman exactly my same age
And I had heard the stories going around about her
Ah what I heard put my young blood into a rage
So I asked to take her out one Friday evening
Scared to death I'd find what I was looking for
And when she got into my car She sat close to me
Then reached right out and firmly locked my door
My first time
Going through my mind
Was this is my first time
My first time
Please be kind this is my first time
Then she suggested we drive out somewhere into the country
Then she suggested we climb into the back seat
But when she asked how long I thought that I could last there
Ah I had to confess it was all over for me
You see this is my first time
I was so blind
This is my first time
My first time
You were so kind
My first time
My first time
It was so fine
My first time
It must have been moonglow
Way up in the blue,
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you.
I still hear you saying
'Dear one, hold me fast'
And I start in praying
Oh Lord, please let this last.
We seemed to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere.
And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue
I always remember
That moonglow gave me you.
Lately things ain't been the way they should be
I've been coming down on you
You've been coming down on me
I know the feeling's there
Like it always was
We just need sometime
To catch up on our love
We can't get away and go anywhere
We have too many things
To keep us right here
But I know a place
We can be alone
Let's lock the bedroom door
And unplug the phone
Let's take a long loving night
Holding each other tight
Touching each other like
Young lovers do
Let's turn some music on
And turn off the lights
And make our love right
With a long loving night
Let's just be lovers for awhile
And dance in the glow
Of the light from the radio dial
We'll whisper all the things
We need to say
When we get away
On our one night holiday
I must admit I've followed every rainbow
I've lived so high I've missed the lows
All my life
I've used my charms
Other ladies have filled my arms
But you have stayed beside me
All my life
I was looking so hard
I couldn't see
The dearest one
Who'd been a part of me
I was living my life without you
Baby you always knew
You saw through my disguise
And open up my eyes
I was living my life without you
How many times have I held you
Like I did last night
And never even seen
The light of you
So I must admit
That you saw more in you and me
Than a fool like me could ever see
All my life
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking sleeping laughing weeping
Longer than always is a long long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
The kids are finally in bed
Visions in their heads
The gifts are laid out
Where they can see
Placed there by you and me
We're holding hands by the fire
Both so happily tired
This is the time
We wait for every year
It's late Christmas eve
That special time just for you and me
All the colors of Christmas
A glow by the light of the tree
The kids have been so good
We probably got them more than we should
It's one of those times you know
Why you believe
Late Christmas eve
The house is blessed with the sound
Of a new soft snow falling down
Tomorrow's excitement just seems
To hang in the air
It's suspended there
It's the single best night of the year
Knowing the kids biggest day is so near
Tonight is ours
But tomorrow's all there's
For ever and ever and ever darlin'
It will always be
That very special time
Just for you and me
Late Christmas eve
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
I'm going to out of way places trying to change my ways
Cause unfamiliar faces they look good to me these days
I don't want to see any old friend that wouldn't do for me
Cause you just might be with them and you're the last one I want to see
Just the sight of you and baby look at me
I become a sight anyone can see
I start to come undone and then I want to run
That's what I go through at just the sight of you
Now I can run and run and run and run I can go and hide
But you're always with me somewhere down inside
Now as long as you stay that way no one ever knows
But the minute I lay eyes on you I start losing control cause
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
She wants to know where I am all the time,
Who I talk to what I do
When I'm away she calls on the phone,
You'd think she's checking up on me
She says she just wants to hear my voice
And make sure I'm ok
I'm glad I've got someone
Who love's me like that
Someone who always misses me
And just can't wait till I get back
She can't love me too much...
I just can't get enough
I'm glad I've got someone...
Who love's me like that
I'll have a day at work
When everything has gone wrong,
I want to spend some time alone
Out on the freeway
Feeling sorry for myself,
I hear the ring of the car phone
She says 'Hey baby how's it going
Are you on your way home?'
I finally sorted things out in my mind
And kinda got myself back together again
For a few months there I didn't know where I was
Much less where I'd been
Your leaving me hit me hard
But really does me in
Is I'd do it again
It's not like I could stop it
Even if I wanted to
That's how strong my love is for you
Even if it don't work out
After movin' back in
I'd do it again
I finally sorted thing out in my mind
And kinda got myself back together again
Standing in the shadows
Can sure get lonely
You got no reason to hide
There's something deep inside
Saying let it go
Listen to your heart beat
It's trying to tell you
This is not a fantasy dream
All that you feel is real
It's time to let it flow
It's time to face the music and dance
It's time to let life hear your song
It's time to face the music and dance
You've been on the shelf too long
So slip off your shoes
And let down your hair
Flow with the feeling in the air
It's time to face the music and dance, dance
Whirling and twirling
You sparkle and shine
And light up the night
And once you start moving
You'll find that the music
Fits you just right
It fits you just right
You can run around and fool yourself real easy
You can go around in circles till you drop
But that kind of living is sure to drive you crazy
And there comes a time when the running has to stop
You can spend your nights like a candle both ends burning
But you'd be using up your credits by the score
For there comes a time when your carousel stop turning
You can't raise the price of the ticket anymore
I'm gonna lay me down with you
I feel a change is over due
I'm gonna settle down
And say goodbye you crazy town
It's all I wanna do
I'm coming 'round to lay me down with you
I've dreamed of puttin' some roots down for the future
I've got to find the things of value I once knew
But I've lived so long against my better nature
There's no way I can do it without you
I can't show my face
Can't go any place
People stop and stare
It's so hard to bare
Everybody knows you left me
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
Though it's just a week
We sent out invitations
To friends and relations
Announcing our wedding day
Friends and relations
Gave congratulations
How can you face them
What can you say
Let's make up sweet heart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours
Be ending
It's the talk of the town
It's gonna be so hard
To find a new girl to love
Well it's gonna be so hard
To find a new girl to think of
I'm supposed to forget that sweet face
But that's something even time can't erase
There's no one else could take her place
It can't be done
There's only one
She's out having fun
With-out me
Well it's gonna be so hard
To get that girl off my mind
Well it's gonna be so hard
To find a girl of that kind
I'm supposed to forget her smile
I'm supposed to forget in a while
But for me that will be quite a trial
She'll always be
The only girl for me
Someday she'll see
But when will that be
Well it's gonna be so hard
To find a new girl to care
Well it's gonna be so hard
To find a girl anywhere
I'm supposed to forget her real fast
I'm supposed to find a new love to last
But all I can think of is the past
It just can't be
The memory
Lingers on with me
Oh when will she see
Well it's gonna be so hard
You are the good and you are the bad
You are the best I've ever had
You're on the left and you're on the right
You are the day and you're every night
You're on the top and you're underneath
You're every where never out of reach
Now it may be right and it may be wrong
But every time I go you aren't alone
Your love is all around me it's everywhere
The thrill of you surrounds me like a fever in the air
I can feel you I can taste you
Even if you're not there
Your love is all around me it's everywhere
Your love's the words and your love's the rhyme
It is a tune playing in my mind
It's over here it's never there
Cos your love's a part I could never share
Your love is everywhere
This ain't no special night
No silver soft moonlight
I couldn't even tell you if the
Stars were out tonight
Ain't no Christmas eve
Ain't no Halloween
It's just a night like most every
Night that I've ever seen
But it just feels right tonight
It just feels good tonight
If we were ever gonna fall in love
Tonight's the night that we'll
Fall in love
Cause it just feels right tonight
There ain't no magic glow
No special words I know
But I'm sure now I never want to let
You go
And why I feel this way
Is because you feel this way
And we will be in love before
The light of day
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many seas
But yours will always be home to me
Oh island in the sun
Will to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing the praise
Of the forest waters your shining sand
Look into my eyes
You expect to see, a smile
What do you expect
When you'll be gone for such a long while
I tried so hard to keep a straight face
But it seem to be so much out of place
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I do
Who is this guy not supposed to cry
When you say bye bye
Is this guy not supposed to die
When you say bye bye
Well what am I supposed to do
Stand up and laugh a while
I hate to disappoint you
But I can't even smile
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
My dear
Where you used to see a smile
Now all the while
You see a tear
I hate to be acting this way
But there seems to be
Just one thing to say
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I do
[Instrumental]
Well hello,
Never thought I'd see that face again
Lord I can't remember when the last time was
But here you are
Hidden in a box of odds and ends
Tucked between some pictures of old friends
My Old Friend
These things just needed going through
The last thing I thought I'd find is you
But here you are
Smiling that smile
Breezy as a summer day
And here you are
Looking at me that easy way
As if to say, here you are
Well I know I really ought to toss you out
Some day I'll just have to lie about why you're here
But here I am
Taking another chance with you
Taking another glance or two
At those eyes
And here's a kiss for old time's sake
Thank God that hearts don't really break
We lost each other then lost track
But I had a feeling one day you'd be back
And here you are
Maybe I'm crazy
But I feel insecure
Look me straight in the eye
So I can rest assured
We've been making love so long
I shouldn't have to ask
Is it gonna last
Let's have a heart to heart
Person to person conversation
About our heart to heart
Person to person situation
Please don't touch me now
You always turn me on
The meaning of what we say
Will get lost in our arms
I need to know how you feel
And hear it from you lips
Not from your finger tips
Let it come from the heart
And mean what you say
And I'll believe you
Every word of the way
I've seen you together every place
I've seen the smile upon your face
I've seen the magic of his charm
The way he gently takes your arm
And he's right - damn him
He's so right - damn him
He stands his ground
But then he gives it
And he's so right
He may not dress the way he should
But he treats you like I wish I could
Next to you he's like a frog
But he is loyal as a dog
Well have you ever had the blues
And didn't know which way to go
Have you ever sat alone
And watched your telephone
Boy you've really had the blues
I don't know what love is
But this is one thing I know
Somebody's got to help me
These blues have got to go
I've got the blues
You know I'm feeling mighty sad
This looks like the end my friend
Yeah I really got the blues
The stores are all closed
Got the street to myself
Here is so peaceful
But all is not well
It's almost like
I wish it would rain
Something to blame
Something in our love has changed
We're still together
But it's not the same
We're in a place
That I never thought we'd be
In your eyes I see something
I never thought I'd see
I made you hate loving me
I know I don't have to
Admit this to you
But I realize
What I've put you through
You made it so easy
Baby what makes it so hard
Is that you don't even know
What makes it so hard
Is that you won't let it show
What makes it so hard
So much can be said without saying a word
Your tears are telling me more
Than words I've ever heard
We better stop and think just
How much we're throwing away
Real love's so hard to find
And goodbye's too easy to say
We're somewhere between the tears and goodbye
On the edge of breaking up but
We can survive
As long as there's a spark of
Love burning in our eyes
If we still care enough to cry
There ought a be a way to keep
The feeling alive
Somewhere between the tears and goodbye
What happened to the days we
Made love the whole night long
How could something feel right
Somehow go so wrong
We're slowly drifting apart a
Little further every day
We better listen to our hearts
Before we let love slip away
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS FALLING IN LOVE?
Lobo
Written by Sam Lorber / Jeff Silbar / Steve Jobe
When your eyes met mine,
I knew that I had better play it cool --
I'm doing my best trying to resist
‘Cause I ain't no fool.
Where in the world did you come from baby?
You waited just a little too long
To look my way.
Now it's a little to late.
Where were you
When I was falling in love?
I was looking for you, baby.
Where were you
When I was falling in love?
Looking for you, baby.
If I'd ever looked in those eyes before,
We'd be together tonight I'm sure.
Where were you
When I was falling in love?
Where were you
Lost and looking for love?
If I'd have met you sooner,
I'd be talking to you and playing the game.
But the best thing for me to do
Is get up and leave without knowing your name.
It might have been something special, baby,
Something only people in love could understand --
Like this ring on my hand.
From: "Roy T. O'Conner"
ME AND YOU AND A DOG NAMED BOO
Lobo
I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named boo
Travelin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man
I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again
I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again
When your eyes met mine
I knew that I had better play it cool
I'm doing my best trying to resist
Cause I ain't no fool
Where in the world did you come from baby
You waited just a little too long
To look my way
Now it's a little to late
Where were you
When I was falling in love
I was looking for you baby
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Looking for you baby
If I'd ever looked in those eyes before
We'd be together tonight I'm sure
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Where were you
Lost and looking for love
If I'd have met you sooner
I'd be talking to ya and playing the game
But the best thing for me to do
Is get up and leave without knowing your name
It might have been something special baby
Something only people in love could understand
I touch you, and you start to pull away
Like there's something on your mind
You just can't say
You don't think I know, what's going on
But I know you think, our love is gone
You won't come right out and say it
But I can see it in your eyes
You're thinking of leaving
But you can't say goodbye
You may never leave me
But sometimes I have doubts
Cause I know it's crossed your mind
And it's the thought that counts
It may look bad, but I don't see it that way
I see a lot of hope in the words you don't say
That you won't tell me, shows me you care
But it's still hurts to know
Those thoughts are there
When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.
Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.
Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.
You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.
You don't remember me,
But I remember you
Was not so long ago,
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back,
And tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
Love is not a gadget,
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you love,
You'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back,
And tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
Did you say I've got a lot to learn
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write I love you
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
So teach me tonight
Whenever we go out any place
We look everyone we meet in the face
There ain't no old lovers that mean
A thing to me and you
Even if we run into one
There's nothing they have ever done
That could ever even come close
To the things that we do
There ain't no ghosts in our closet
No old flames on the fire
No secret lovers to fill us with desire
We ain't got no big problems
And nothing to ever cause it
Baby there ain't no ghosts in our closet
Whenever we're together in bed
We say what ever comes into our head
Cause you'll never ever hear us
Mention someone else's name
Sometimes the sunshine works to clear my mind
Ridin' down a country road I start to think about
The things I could live without to lighten up my load
Of all the things I could stand to lose
Losing you is the one thing I could never do
You are my need
The reason for every breath that I breathe
My heart has a hunger
That only your love can feed
You are my need - you are my need
When I see you sitting there
Wind blowin' in your hair
I'm lookin' at the truth
There could never be any better place for me
Than right here with you
Let the world go on and pass me by
I've got everything I'll ever need in my life
It's been the lovers question
Ever since time began
How to keep good romance
From slipping through your hands
It ain't no trick to keep it
To hold on to what you got
The secret to the secret
Is to love and never stop
Got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You better try holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You've got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
Holding on holding on
Don't you sometimes wonder
How a good love can go bad
Lovers crumble under
When they don't love the love they have
To break apart is tragic
And that is why I say
Cos when you lose that magic
You lose everything
Bull Smith is a honcho
In a golden Silverado
Driving through San Antonio
Listening to the radio
He's got Bull dogs on his fenders
Rattle snake suspenders
A hat with buzzard feathers
And boots with lizard leathers
He's handsome as a devil and he ain't nobody's fool
At high noon in the summer he stands cool
He's stronger than an eighteen wheeler stormin down the pike
But he goes home alone every night
Cos he can't dance (Bull Smith) the cotton-eyed Joe
He's got turquoise on his buckles
Diamonds on his knuckles
He can stare down a coyote
And get crazy on peyote
I've never been where I am now
I've never felt the same
Everything has changed
And I'm spinning round and round and round
She's taking me to a world
That's beyond my mind
Another pace and time
A place I never want to come back from
Beside her
Inside her
I'm in Cy-ber Love
Cyber Love
Cyber love has no end
It goes on and on
A never ending song
A circle going round and round and round
I've still got those country feelings
And their roots are in my soul
When I'm so tired I can't take it
Of this life that I've been sold
I turn off the world around me
And go drifting back in line
As those same old country feelings
Just come flowing across my mind
Love I can see you now
Like I've never seen you before
Love I can hear you now
Like I've never heard you before
Ummmmmmm
So come with me
Come away with me
Ah come with me
Ummmmmmm
Love I can touch you now
Like I've never touched you before
And love I can feel you now
Like I've never felt you before
Ohhhhhh
So come with me
Come away with me
So come with me
Love I can love you now
Like I've never loved anything
So come with me
Come away with me
Ah come with me
Come away with me
If you ever feel like
You need a friend in the night
Cos he ain't treating you right
You come looking for me
And if you ever should doubt
What his love is about
If the flame goes on out
Come looking for me
Come looking for me
I'll always be close by
I've been waiting for you
Since we said goodbye
If true love's what you need
To set your loving free
Come looking for me
Come looking for me
When the time finally comes
For you to go and run
Let your heart be the one
That comes looking for me
Cos your heart couldn't find
A truer love than mine
So baby take the time
To come looking for me
Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
Get your Coconut water
Man is good for your daughter
Coco got a lot of iron
Make you strong like a lion
Over and over it's all I've had on my mind
Baby baby I've been lying to you all of this time
He's not what you think he is and I'm sharing the blame
Cause I've known all of this time he was playing the game
He's been cheating on you
He's been cheating on you
It's tearing me in two
That he's been cheating on you
Waiting and hoping that someone else would tell you
So afraid if I told you you might not think it was true
Cause you know how much I have loved you for so long
And I was going out of my head and I couldn't hold out any longer
Judy drowned Judy drowned
Why-O-Judy drowned
Judy drowned Judy drowned
Why-O-Judy drowned
Angelina Angelina please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me
Cos I be coming home from sea
Angelina Angelina please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me
Cos I be coming home from sea
Day-O, day-O (Day, me say day-O)
hear our songs everybody knows.
Day me say day me say day me say day
me say day me say day-O
The Caribbean disco show
There may be times in my day when I feel down
And I may walk around like a floppy old hound
There are people in my life we don't get along
But I know a time when nothin' goes wrong
And I'm always up when I get up in the morning
I'm always up at the end of the night
The morning smiles it's sun on me
I look over and it's you I see
And I'm always up when I get up in the morning
I'm up in the morning
My life may get hard on a certain week
And the people that I work with we may not speak
I might get drunk and stay out all night
Cause in the morning I know you won't be up tight
So long boy you can take my place,
Got my papers got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To yellow river
Put my guns down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow river
Yellow river yellow river
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river
Is in my blood it's the place I love
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river
Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From yellow river
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
On yellow river
Just because they look good
They don't have to cost alot
That's what Wrangler thinks
Come and see the clothes they've got
They're clothes for easy living
They're clothes that live alot
So come and see the clothes
That Wranglers got
