Yes I will, 'deed I will.
If I may, if I might, if I can.
Once upon a passing night dream
he beheld a mystic image bathed in blue reflection.
Then he stood and made his song,
closed his eyes to feel the thunder
echo like a wave around him;
love was in this strange house,
and he knew he did belong, yes he did belong.
Yes I will, 'deed I will. If I can.
And cold it was within the marrow,
waiting like a wounded sparrow,
helpless and forgotten while the radio played on.
Sing your song you fool, you dreamer;
'cross the space that lies between us;
cast the stones of fortune,
for the journey has begun, yes it has begun.
So you do, so you want to be giving.
Say it out loud if you need to be holy.
So you do, so you want to be loving;
say it out now if you need to be holier still.
So it seems or so it may be,
I can't know for sure but lately seems I'm on a journey
to a place I've never been.
And baby if I had the answers I would lay them all before you;
plainly it's a circle, one that ends and then begins, and begins again.
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
We three kings of orient are
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to that perfect Light.
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star
O Rejoice, rejoice
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light
Star of wonder
Star so bright

Joyful and triumphant

Choirs of angels
Sing in exultation

All ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest

O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
I'm walkin'
But I'm going nowhere at all
I'm 'bout to head any place in the world
But the place that I am
I'm talkin'
Hey, heh, heh
But baby, you don't understand
Na na na na na na na na na
Bad times, I can't take 'em
Good times, got to make 'em
Got to find 'em, got to taste 'em
Hey, and I do, I say I do
Mama I do
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly
Good time with sometime women
Nothin' ain't ever hold me
You can't change me none
Na na na na na
You want me
And I can't deny , I 'm a man
But I go no eyes for a tight pair of shoes
When my bare feet'll do
You need me
Hey, heh, heh
The wind is where I got my roots
Na na na na na na na na na
Bad times, I can't take 'em
Good times, got to make 'em
Got to find 'em, got to taste 'em
Hey and I do, I say I do
Mama I do......
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly
Good times with sometime women
Nothin' ain't ever hold me
You can't change me none
Na na na na na
I do, I say I do
Mama, Mama I do......
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly baby
Good time women
Good time lovin'
Hear what I 'm saying, baby
Two bit manchild
I can see it all now.
I will never forget
what you meant to me.
Don't have a single regret.
And I was feelin' alright
when it was just me and you.
We loved with all of our might.
That's all we wanted to do.
There ain't a lot we had to know
except that I wanted you
to be wherever I'd go.
Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace
all that we shared with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days,
sweet L.A. days.
No one could ever replace
how on a Saturday night
we would jump in your car
and how we'd drive through the night
and maybe not get that far.
There wasn't much we had to learn
except that we knew the road would take us through every turn.
Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace all that we shared
with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days, sweet L.A. days.
Ooee baby it's takin' me back,
back to those L.A. days,
sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet L.A. days.
They can't be taken away,
not those L.A. days, no,
those L.A. days,
Where it began
I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was 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 seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you?
Touching one
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I've believed they never could
Sweet Caroline
Surviving the life
Got some highs got some lows
But the wise man knows what it's really about
When you're doing without
Surviving the life
Providing the soul
It ain't easy to do
When you've got to get through
Any way that you can
Join the familial man
Providing the soul
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy (no, no)
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Revealing the heart
You know that some people try
But it's hard gettin' by without
Leaving a thing
You only get what you bring
Revealing the heart
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Providing the soul
Beginning the whole
Surviving the life
Surviving the life...
It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And every heart I've ever known
Has left me wanting more
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
Lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love
I followed all of life's pleasures
Wherever they will be
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love
Can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
No words could say how much I love you
No words could be as true
I’ve looked through books and read through 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 healing
Just as much as your touch can do
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
That danced around 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
Not about the words that you say
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
Been swimmin’ round in my head
But what they say about me and you
Is better felt than said there are no
Words that can solve the mystery
Or explain God’s eternal plan
We only know enough to ask the questions
Not enough to understand
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
No words, no words, no words
Roll 'em in the morning, roll without no warning,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he could and he would,
He's a high rollin' man in a high rollin' neighborhood.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em.
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Lord, he was a dreamer, hardly worth redeeming,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he was, Lord, he was,
But when it comes to his thumbs, ain't a man who can do what he does.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll'em,
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,
Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my song for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play
If I had my way, I'd walk thru that door and wander
down the Champs Elysees
going from cafe to cabaret
The way I see it, I just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own game
You can't please them all
There's always somebody callin' you down
And I do my best and I do good business
As a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
And try and be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris, I was unfettered and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favours
Noone's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I'm taking on
stokin the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers and telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way, I'd walk thru that door and wander
down the Champs Elysees
going from cafe to cabaret
Thinkin' how I feel when I find
In the wintertime
Keep your feet warm,
Keep your clothes on
And don't forget me.
Keep the memory,
But keep your powder dry, too.
In the summer
By the pool side
While the fireflies
Are all around me,
I'll miss you when I'm lonely,
I'll miss the alimony, too.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
When we're older
And full of cancer
It doesn't matter now,
Come on, get happy,
'Cause nothing lasts forever,
And I will always love you.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
You know I'll think about you,
Baby, my tears I know I can hide
But sweet, sweet baby
It's tearing me up inside
And I'm comin' apart, breakin' in pieces
Look at my world tumblin' down
Comin' apart, breakin' in pieces, baby
Since you're not around
You've won, I'm lost
Nowhere to run to
Baby please hear what I got to say
Oh sweet, sweet baby
Oh don't turn me away
Cause I'm comin' apart
Breakin' in pieces
Look at my world tumblin' down
Comin' apart, breakin' in pieces
Baby, since you're not around
You've won, I'm lost
Girl, you know that I love you
But, I need time to think
And you know I can't think
When you're sitting this close to me
Can't we talk about wedding bells
Some other time?
If you get any closer,
I'll go out of my mind
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, have a Coke and relax, babe
Things go better with,
You'll go better with,
I feel better with Coca Cola, yeah
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, baby
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
People are lookin'
For what they ain't got
Runnin' and pushin'
For I don't know what
But I'm gonna stake out
My own piece of shade
Count all the money
I ain't ever made
No No No
I ain't got a single plan
Wind in my face
And a Coke in my hand
No No No
Happy right where I am
Hey, see how she kissed me
Yeah, no reason for the girl to lie
She say she gonna miss me
Yeah, smile on my face, I wave goodbye
But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?
Yeah, I'm about to crumble
Yeah, come see me die before your eyes
Yeah, my thoughts all jumbled
And my throat is dry from asking why
But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?
[Instrumental]
Girl, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby where are you?
Well, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?
Holly holy eyes
Dream of only me
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 that 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 that lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly, yeah
And I fly
Holly holy dream
Dream of only you
Holly holy sun
Holly holy rain
Holly holy love
Hello
again hello
Just called to say: hello.
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait.
Hello
my friend
hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home.
Hello.
May be it's been crazy
And may be I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head.
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear.
Hello
my friend
hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello
my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait

Walk on Water
Neil Diamond
Words and music by Neil Diamond.
Transcribed from Neil Diamond's Moods album.
Walk on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day.
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy light the night away!
She walks on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
From: Gloria "Montcomags"
In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same
To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name
Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you
And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there
In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes you can fall
You'd think someone
Would lend a helping hand
They'd sooner see you crawl
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again
Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what, I ask you for what
If not for you
And all your love
To see me through
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
He wakes up in the morning
on a dark and stormy christmas day
and he wonders to himself
Is this all I have
or do I need some love
I feel you
when the storms blow blue
I feel you
when borms show true
We went to your bedroom
and started making love
my penis quickly erected
and I put in your asshole
(Put it in your asshole)
When the storms blow blue
(Put it in your asshole)
The Dancing Bumble Bee/
Bumble Bee Boogie
And when the hot winds blow tonight
The dancing bumble bee takes flight
And all the flowers in the field
Prepare their nectar soon to yield
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly
Behold the dancing bumble bee
And as they gather 'round to see
His rhythm burns like a raging fire
In passion by that sweet desire
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
He danced until the morning came
Until the music's last refrain
And though he knew it soon would end
He only lived to dance again
Dance
Dance
Fly
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
Dance
Dance
Fly
N. Diamond, J. Fina 1978
Album: You Don't Bring Me Flowers
I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't dig what's in so I guess I'm out
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you
There ain't a man alive tell me what to say
I choose my own side and I like it that way
I don't worry about all the things that I'm not
There's only one thing that I want I ain't got
You know that I'm talking about you baby
So you better know when you come along
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby, I got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feelin' good
I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
If you wanted that star
That shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling,
I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you needed the dream
To keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him
To keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But mem'ries won't go
Oh, mem'ries won't go
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart my blue, blue heart
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone

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 awe 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 a 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
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one
Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons
They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no
And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one
Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons
You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no
Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh
And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go
Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I'd made
For she was a lady and I was a dreamer with only words to trade.
You know that I was born for a night like this
Warmed by a stolen kiss
for I was lonely
and she was lonely.
Ride
come on baby
ride
let me make your drems come true
I'll sing my song
let me sing my song
let me make it warm for you.
I'll weave his web of rhyme upon the summer night
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
There I will sing to you my Long fellow .Serenade.
Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I made
But she was a lady as deep as the river
And through the night we stayed.
And in my way I loved her as none before
Loved her with words and more.
For she was lonely and I was lonely.
Ride
come on baby
ride
See what you do
You make me act so crazy
I'm overcome, I know
Stealin' my own show
For your love
And who am I now, Clown or Casanova
I'm never sure with you
And what more can I do
For your love burns
Warmer than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
And where do we go
Find a road to lead us
I'm searching in your eyes
A world beyond the skies
For your love burns
Brighter than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
Love burns
Brighter than you know
Oh, love burns
Never let it go away
Love burns when the spirit is wounded
Cut deep by the sound of rejection
Love burns in the soul of the seeker
Blue shadows in every direction
Love burns when the heart is uncovered
In the rage of the coldly storm
Love burns
Through the night and the morning
Till the frozen heart is warm
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns

Sabre dance
When death plays the game of chance
Dance sabre, dance
Oh, sweet romance
The flashing of sabres dance
Dance sabre dance
Dance, sabre dance
Come on now
Dance, sabre dance
Sabre dance
When death plays the game of chance
The flashing of sabres dance
For honor and sweet romance
Come dance, sabre dance
Love on the rocks, ain't no big surprise
Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies
I got nothing to lose
So you just sing the blues for a while
I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
You left me alone here with nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
And 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 the 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
And you can say what you want
But there's not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
And may be blue skies above
But it's cold when you're 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 the 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
Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone
I'VE BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
And I'm sure to see your eyes again
For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never wondering why
Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die
But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
One more time again
Just one more time
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
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
Come back again
I want you to stay next time
Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you and me
I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he has to go away
I still feel the words that he might say
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
He's lookin' for a home
Cause everyone needs a place
A home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you should call me
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
Turn on your heartlight now
Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
It's Heartbreak Hotel
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom, gloom
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
The bell hop's tears keep flowing
The desk clerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on lonely street
They're never coming back, yeah
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
Now, if your baby leaves you
You've got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
(Yes, I have, been so lonely)
Oh, I've been so lonely, I could die
I've been so lonely, I could die
Money talks
but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.
Honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say we'll 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.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.
And honey's sweet.

I never needed to hear the truth
You never wanted to know
I never wanted to be unkind
But then something kept telling me go
There was something kept telling me go
We stayed together like birds in a cage
But then one of us had to get free
But who had the heart to say goodbye
Wasn't you so it had to be me
Wasn't you so it had to be me
You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Breaking me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But, oh, I wish you could be mine
Oh, I wish you would be mine tonight
Be mine tonight, tonight
Be mine tonight
We never knew it for what it was worth
It was worth more than we understood
We never got past the lies and the hurt
And it hurt even when it was good
Do it
While your soul's still burning
Don't hide the yearning away
Say what you wanna say
Cause if you let her go
You'll always know
You blew it
Go to it
And do it, yeah
Do it, yeah
Tell her
Just how much you love her
And that no other could do
What she does to you
Cause if you take your time
You're gonna find
You blew it
Go thru it
And do it, yeah
You got me runnin', goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm tellin' you it's gotta be the end
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down
What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down
You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got me shakin', got me runnin' away
You got me crawlin' up to you everyday
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Oh, yes ... do it, man ... here we go)
Calling out, 'round the world
Ready for a brand of beat
We're all here, time is right

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

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,

BROTHER LOVE'S TRAVELING SALVATION SHOW
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
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
Brother Love's Traveling 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 Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Sermon
Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart, I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Amen
Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre, y mi padre,Canta mi corazon, Para los ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre.
I got music runnin' in my head,Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'.
Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre y mi padre.
I got music runnin' in my brain,Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,Baptized by the song that you're singing.Canta libre, Canta la vida,siempre conmigo, canta libre.
Canta libre, canta la vida.
Canta mi corazon, Paralos ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre,
Brooklyn Road
Neil Diamond
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

What a beautiful noiseIt's a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the streetAnd it's a sound that I love
Got a beautiful soundAnd it makes me feel good
It's got a beautiful beatLike a hand in a glove
It's a beautiful noiseYes it does
yes it does
Goin' on ev'rywhereWhat a beautiful noise.
Like the clickety clack
Of a train on a trackIt's a beautiful noise
It's got rhythm to spare.Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
It's a beautiful noiseBy the passing parade
And it's a sound that I loveIt's the music of life.
And it fits me as well
As a hand in a gloveIt's a beautiful noise
Yes it does
yes it does.And it's a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
What a beautiful noiseJust like a hand in a glove
Comin' up from the parkYes it does
yes it does.
It's the song of the kids
And it plays until darkWhat a beautiful noise
It's the song of the carsComin' into my room
On their furious flightsAnd it's beggin' for me
But there's even romanceJust to give it a tune.
In the way that they dance
Another sunny afternoon
Denies the worried look that's on my face
Connected through the years
It somehow took us both in separate ways
Was on a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
Should've held you till the storm went by
We had nothing left to hang on to
Too many words you said
But not the words connected me to you
Just another day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
The two of us we both just let it fly
Didn't see it leave; didn't even try.
I only know that we were moving on
Suddenly it's gone; Heaven knows why.
Oh no
Oh no
Don't have a reason I can give
At least not one that I can understand
Just somehow disappeared
It slipped beneath the fingers on my hand
It was on a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
We had it once, but we just let it fall
Should've held it close; could've had it all.
I'm thinking about the life we could have made
Lost the one we had somewhere along the way
Oh no
Oh no
I woke up all alone again
A half-remembered dream inside my head
You took me through the day
Followed me at night into my bed
It was a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Good morning. I love you. Now that you're here where you belong,I want to be the man you need.Just tell me you love me,Because I need to hear it, too.Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you.
I need you beside me; the road is so long.You run through my heart like the words of a bitter-sweet song.I'd travel the whole world, across the earth, around the sunif I could be the one you carry deep inside of you.
You got to take your time now, If love is gonna take you by the hand.You need to take your time, though, 'Cause love is not a thing you can command.There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.And when you find love, hold on tight.Don't ever waste another night.You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.Can anybody hear me?Is anybody out there?
I listen to the river and hear the river callin' out her name.I'm tryin' to forgive her, but nothin's ever gonna be the same.There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.And when you find love, hold on tight.Don't ever waste another night.You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.Can anybody hear me?Is anybody out there?

Mountains Of Love
Someday, make your way down the coast of South Africa.
There you will say
they're in need of a mountain of love.
Sail away, and you reach all the way down to China.
Don't look away.
They're in need of what we've plenty of.
Got enough to surround every living thing we see.
There's enough to include even you and me.
So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top,
there's mountains of love.
In the end,
Love is what I'm talkin' of.
'Round the bend,
there's mountains of love,
mountains of love.
I know from the glow that I see in the smallest child
that we can go higher still than we ever dreamed of.
Don't you know
there are magical places inside the heart?
Come on, let's go.
We got room on that mountain of love,
room enough to surround every living thing we seel
room enough to include even you and me.
So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top, there's mountains of love.
In the end,
love always seems to shine through.
'Round the bend
for me and for you,
there's mountains of
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
To the top,
let's check out that view from above.
It never stops.
There's mountains of love.
In the end, love always seems to shine through,
'round the bend for me and for you.
At the top, top of those mountains of love...
At the top,
got more than enough.
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
It was more than a matter of knowin'
Or the words that were finally said
It was more than the comin' or goin'
Or the things that were made in your head
It was more than a matter of wantin'
And needin' the foolish things I gave
As if I ever cared to make you cry
Could've been right to know that it wasn't
Yet you knew I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
But the words that were finally spoken
Like the thoughts that remain in my soul
And hearts that were finally broken
And embrace that never be hold
And the words that I never told you
But I told you, the foolish things I said
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
Could have been strong but the words didn't rhyme

Have a way of talking to you
Cut your heart out for the prize
While the bitch sings hallelujah

Rocks and knots and I'm half crazy
Get to dream 'bout bein' dead
But I ain't been that lucky lately

Surely you know

Ooh, baby, baby now

My baby's Cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's no way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me
There was a time I wanted out on my own
I even thought that I'd be ok alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me
Chorus:
You are the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, your the part
That allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always
known
You are the best
Part of me
Love isn't easy and
It's not always kind
Sometimes you only
Have to make
Up your mind
That you can make it
and you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me
My baby's cryin' 'cause she cant run away
And if she could it wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it
And I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me
It's true baby, your the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, you're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me
You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby
I know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa...
Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to
Criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby,
Something beautiful is dying
You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa
Baby, baby,
I get down on my knees
And pray to you
If you would only love me
Like you used to do
We had a love, a love,
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't
Don't let it slip away
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa...
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.
Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows
Loved her so
Then one day
She said she loved someone else instead
I'm goin' out of my head
'Cause over and over
I just hear the last words she said:
You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?
There she stood,
The hands that once set me burning,
They were as cold as clay
And as she looked away
She said in the strangest voice the words
I never thought she'd say:
You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?
You know when you needed me
I was right there by your side.
But now you don't need me no more,
it's a fast goodbye, don't you cry
You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget
What you feel right now, but how?
You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?
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
Words By: Neil Diamond, Doug Rhone, Hadley Hockensmith
The more you explain, the less I feel assured
The closer I came, the more you'd hide
And here's what I think, we better get in touch
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
The bigger the thrill, the more we're gonna pay
You figure the bill, it's gonna bite
The higher we get, the more we're hanging on
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
And I know, I know, I know I love you
We can make it what we want it to be
You know, you know, you know you love me
So ask yourself where does it lead?
The more we expect the less we're gonna find
Whatever we get is gonna go
And here's what I think we better stay in touch
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
Wish I could tell you everything was alright, yeah
Wish everything was alright
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
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night
Meets the the morning sun?
I'd like to know if your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow?
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.
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

Laying there in bed, all the lights down low
You don't want to see or talk to anyone you know
It seems like yesterday, you held her in your arms
Then you went away like all those other times
Now you're feeling all alone and empty
Like you wanna fade away
Close your eyes and then make time fly
But then, it don't work that way
All your friends trying to help you over
You just wanna be alone
I don't know why that cold wind blows
But there is the thing that I know
Heartaches gonna find you no matter where you go
When you miss the one you love
Sad songs are all you gonna hear on the radio
When you miss the one you love
Gray skies are there to remind you
The blues are never behind you
When you miss your love
I know that you wish you could be with her right now
Living out your dreams, not passing thru this lonely town
And down this travelling road, the only life you've known
You swear you're gonna give it up, but the road goes on and on

If you decide to say goodbye
You're gonna make my poor heart cry
Oh,what, what what can it be
But time will tell if you'll be true
Or if you gonna leave me blue
So I'll just wait-ait and see
If you never gonna kiss me again
And you never hug me again
Oh, oh
What will I do
Oh my dear, I really try
When you're out with another guy
But I can't help feeling sad
This hurt I have within my heart
Is there because you wanna part
Why must you treat me bad
Why do you wanna leave
You make my poor heart grieve
Oh, oh
What will I do
And if you do remain
You'll set me heart a flame
Sure as the stars above
You are the one I love
Oh my dear I really try
When you're out with another guy
But I can't help feeling sad
This hurt I have within my heart
Is there because you wanna part
Why must you treat me bad
Why do you wanna leave
You make my poor heart grieve
Oh, oh
What will I do

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
If there was time enough for me
To do it all, again
I promise you, that I would find
A way to make it right,
This time
This time I'd love you even more
I never thought, I could
But now I know, that I would find
A way to make it right
This time
Over again, I closed my eyes,
And I keep reliving it over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no
And you'd be mine this time for sure
Only got to show I care the way I do
And I'd be there this time for you.
If there was time enough to say
The things I feel inside
I promise you, I'd find a way
A way to say them right
This time
Over again, I closed my eyes
And I keep reliving it
Over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no
And I'll be there this time for sure
'Cause I'm not the same man
That I was before
And I'm nothing at all
If I'm not yours
I only got to show I care the way I do
And I'll be there this time for you
Yes, I'll be there this time for you
The way,
as far as I can see it,
I need to find the way to make you mine.
And someday,
when you least expect it,
I hope you find the way
to love me in kind.
The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
And now,
having said I love you,
I've got to find the way to say that I care.
And the way,
having been decided,
is for me to stay
and always be there.
The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I may not know the words,
but I know the way to you.
The way leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I'm a part of you,
and I know that you are the way.
Just need the way to find you.
I need to find, I need to find, I need to find, I need to find the way to
you.
You are the way. You are the way. You are the way. You are the way,
the way for me.

[A instrumental melody of three songs:]
Lonely Looking Sky
Dear Father
Had to go, had to know all
There was out there.
Now I'm back, I know that, girl
It's all right here.
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Ran a lot
Don't know what I
Thought I would find.
Town to town, all I found
Was you on my mind
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.

Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,

Stay,

Been a long way, long way home
Long way home, long way home
Songs to make you free
And songs to take you to another time
Forgotten reasons that are made of rhyme
For you and me
The songs of life
That somehow make us free
And songs to fill the heart
Like quiet candles on a winter's night
They touch the space
That lies between you and I
And I will sing
The songs of love
That speak to you and me
Then wake the sleeping child
And let me sing to you of other times
And let me make your dreams
As sweet as mine
And I will bring
The gift of song
That only makes us free
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came
From the country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star
Wherever it went.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel
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 ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so,
I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said
Many times, many ways;
'Merry Christmas to you'
And so,
I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said
Many times, many ways;
'Merry Christmas to you'
'Merry Christmas to you'
Hey, listen to the working man
And can you hear the dream
That resides in his soul?
And when you hear that poor man singin'
Can you hear a story
That cries to be told?
Wanna hear you say 'Oh yeah'
I need to hear you say 'Oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we are given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Oh yeah, hear the song of womankind
Carried 'til she ached
Now she's takin' her stand
Says she's got the right to be
Right beside and equal with ev'ry man
Wanna hear you say 'Oh yeah'
Need to hear you say 'Oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we're given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Say 'oh yeah'
Say it now, and just say it right
If you truly believe it,
You'll be saying it right.
So say 'oh yeah'
Gotta say 'oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
Better days are just beginning.
There ain't no place to run and hide to
Don't throw away
The chance we're given.
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Say 'Oh yeah'
'Oh yeah'
Say 'Oh yeah'
Say 'Oh yeah'
These are the best years of our lives

I got worries by the ton
Getting kansas only one
Over taxed and alimony
Tired of eating fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young and growing older
There’s some brain cells I’m missing
But despite it all, I’d like to say
I’m gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Bills and pills and former wives
Past estates and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Had a ? ? ? and hairline’s gone
Hearing voices in my head
Saying I should have stayed in bed
Doc just died but what the heck
Nothing worse can happen anyway
So I’m gonna have a good day today
Me, I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my vcr
Letter came from sixty minutes
Saying they wanna put me in it
Tell me my career just died
Years ago I might have cried
Now I’m just too old to do it
Maybe true but screw it anyway
Me, I’m gonna have a good day today
And I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey I’m gonna have a good day today
Me, I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey, Sunday Sun
Let's go walkin'
And we'll talk about some things
Kick my shoes off,
And we'll dream about some dreams
Got to get away when the world
Gets on me
Kids in the park
Don't take long before
I'm laughing along with them
Almost makes me think
Those times can come again
Gets me feelin' good and yet sad
At the same time
Sunday Sun, when you're round
Get to feelin' like I wanna smile
Weekday strings, tie me down
But this one day, baby, I can fly
I can fly
Time on my mind,
Make the most of it,
Just me and a Sunday Sun
Liable to forget that Monday ever comes
Gonna sit around
Watchin' bees chasin' honey
Sunday Sun, when you're 'round
Get to feelin' like I wanna smile
Weekday strings, tie me down
But this one day, baby, I can fly
I said I can fly
Hey Sunday Sun
Let's go walkin'
And we'll talk about some things
I kick my shoes off
And we'll dream about some dreams
Come on Sunday Sun,
We got some plans to make
We go walking.....
Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving Him
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
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
Free life
Scratch on my head
Pick me a tune
Sing it like a black man
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Aw Free life
You know my name
I'll leave on a light
And burn it in the window
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Talking 'bout round, brown ladies
And maybe some wine
All be fine
If she ain't no belle, hell, it's okay
I won't pay no mind
We'll just have us a time
Free life
I'll wait right here
But I ain't no kid
Believin' in the bible
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Ah, free life
Babe, I feel like a straw in the wind
Don't know where I stand
Can't say where I'm goin'
Or where I've been,
Or even if I'm your man
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh, I'm cold
And I'm a straw in the wind
Hey, hey, hey
Sometimes I feel like a ship on the sea
Tossin' and turnin' all night
I know if you hold your hand out to me
Yeah, everything could be alright
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh,
I'm cold and I'm a straw in the wind
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh,
I'm cold and I'm a straw in the wind
Yeah, I'm a straw in the wind
Stargazer, you with your head in the heavens,
you'll never get by walkin' that high off the ground.
Moon dreamer, I've been around and I've seen it;
the higher you get--the harder they let you down.
You pay your dues, it seems forever.
And if you're clever you may be in for a while,
then you're out of style.
Stargazer, probably think I'm crazy,
and haven't you heard one single word I've said?
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, Stargazer.
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.

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

'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately

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'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
Soft and dreamin'
I found a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
That look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
And then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden
Songs of life, they ring
From quiet steeples to distant valleys
Along the hillsides of lovers' hearts
Of lovers' hearts
Come sing you songs of life
And they will keep you
From ever wanting, from ever needing
For ever more, for ever more
Oh, and when the moment's true
It sings so softly to me and you
You know it's true
So I sing my songs of life
That I will hold you inside forever
And you will know me
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Oh, and when the moments true
They sing so softly to me and you
You know they do, you know they do
And I'll sing my songs life
That I may hold you, inside forever
And you will know me,
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Someday, baby
It's gonna be alright
Someday, maybe, but baby, not tonight
There's a gleam in your eyes
That's for some other guy not for me now
He'll be kissing the lips
That I just get to kiss in my dreams now
But someday baby, yeah (uh huh)
Someday love
Someday, baby
It's gonna be just me
One day baby, well, you just wait and see
Girl, you'll open your eyes
And then you'll realize what I'm sayin'
I've got lovin' to give for as long as I live
He's just playin'
But someday baby, yeah (mmmmm)
Someday love
Someday baby, someday love
Someday baby
Someday love
Yesterday's songs
Don't stay around long
Not much anymore
Yesterday's words
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before
Baby, yesterday's blues
May be yesterday's news
But the truth always stays the same
And good things will never change
Like sayin' "I love you"
Sayin' "I love you"
Yesterday's songs
Don't seem to belong
They're here and they're gone
Yesterday's moves
Don't stay in the grooves
They keep moving on
Maybe yesterday's rhyme
Was for yesterday's time
And the future's not ours to see
But there's some things that always will be
Like sayin' "I love you"
