  • I don’t wanna let go,
    You got my whole life spun up in the stitches you sew,
    And wherever we go,
    My heart’s yours and you’re always gonna know
    That I can’t ever let go

    The years turn up and our lives unfold,
    We’re both young now but tomorrow we’ll be old
    Memories fading like the glisten of a taillight

    And the moon glows up and the sun still burns,
    We’re all grown up and now it’s our turn
    Rise and they fade, the gifts we parade around
    Gently as the world turns round

    Will you ever let go,
    When the tide sweeps up and the rain comes knocking,
    When the storm winds blow

    When your heart sinks low,
    When you fall facedown and you’re troubled and alone,
    I won’t ever let go

  • Early morning river rain,
    Dusting off my window pane,
    Keeper of a million mountain songs,
    That dance out in the fields of grain

    Bold and heavy harvest moon,
    Sacred is your harvest tune,
    Keeper of a million thunder songs,
    That rattle when the blossoms bloom

    Up the river wind blows loud,
    Happy as the seasons turn,
    We’re both a little older now

    Golden valley river sun,
    Mother Nature’s Holy one,
    Sing to me a song, oh I need you now,
    I know I’m not the only one

    Up the river wind blows loud,
    Happy as the seasons turn,
    We’re both a little older now

    I’m gonna be older, I’m gonna get wiser,
    I’m gonna be stronger, I’m gonna get better,
    I’m gonna be lighter, gonna climb much higher,

    I’m gonna be kind
    I’m gonna be grateful, I’m gonna stay faithful,
    I’m gonna be honest, not gonna be wasteful,
    I’m gonna be a fighter, gonna burn much brighter,
    I’m gonna stay humble, still I’m gonna reach higher, 

    I’m gonna be patient, I’m gonna stay playful,
    I’m gonna be thoughtful,
    I’m gonna be able,

    I’m gonna live lighter, gonna burn much brighter,

    I’m gonna be kind

  • I was stuck out in the mud again,
    I thought I’d never learn to love again,
    But now I’m swimming and the water feels right,
    You brought the sun out in my life again

    Can’t you see, Heaven’s everything they told us it would be
    You and me, cradled in the hand that holds us so tightly

    Another circle ‘round the sun again,
    But now I’m riding with my best friend,
    I’m in the moment and the moment feels right,
    You brought the love into my life again

  • Come up at sunrise, beneath the new light,
    The world is so much better
    Linger on, summer song

    The wind is shifting, my mind is drifting,
    And now the whole world’s better
    Stay with me, summer breeze
    Send me off and I’ll get better

    When you come ‘round, I hear the big sound
    You make my whole life better,
    River flow, indigo,
    I wanna reach out, I wanna wake up,
    I wanna live life better,
    Hold me now, show me how,
    Send me on, and I’ll get better

    The road is long,
    How we end up right where we belong,
    The pull is strong,
    Here I AM, and I’m better

    Should the ground shake, don’t let my faith break,
    I wanna live life better,
    You and I, butterfly
    I found the big smile, I walked the long while,
    And now I’m so much better,
    Here I AM, love in hand,
    Here we are and we’re both better
    Here I AM and I’m better
    Here we are, and we’re better,
    All is fine, cus we’re together

  • I’m in heaven so it seems,
    Right with the girl of my dreams,
    Casually walking and talking of life here together,
    She’s the sweetest little pearl,
    A gift from the Lord to the world,
    When she is near it’s so beautifully clear I’m in heaven,

    Life gives what you give it,
    Careful how you choose to live it,
    This train comes a’chuggin, and chuggin, along ‘till it’s gone
    But your heart beats with perfection,
    And love is your souls reflection,

    Let it shine

    So be gentle and be kind,
    Sooner or later you’ll find,
    To live is to give and to give is to live in the moment,

    So take it easy, take it slow,
    Know that you won’t always know,
    Everything good will unfold as it should in its time

  • It’s never too late to begin again,
    No matter how hard of a road it’s been
    It’s time to get up and be strong my friend,
    It’s never too late to begin again

    So no more living in your stories past,
    That kind of energy will drain you fast,
    Here come the good old days around the bend,
    It’s never too late to begin again

    So keep on hiking up that mountain tall,
    No matter how far off the trail you fall,
    There ain’t no finish line, it’s not the end,
    It’s never too late to begin again,

    Here come the sunny days around the bend,
    It’s never too late to begin again,
    It’s time to get up and be strong my friend,
    It’s never too late to begin again

  • When the calendar’s overflowing,
    And there’s places that I got to be going,
    Before the morning birds chirp and sing,
    Before the very first telephone ring,
    I stop give thanks for the gift of my life,
    The air that I breath and the gift of my sight,
    The sweet little queen in a dream right beside me,
    She’s my whole world and the life inside me

    Plant and reap and plow and sow,
    What we think is what we grow,
    Strong and steady and smooth and light,
    Love’s gonna make this alright

    There’s so many people that are gonna come round,
    Tryin their best just to bring you down,
    That’s simply how the way things go,
    You can give in, or you can let go,

    Remember to give thanks for the gift of your life,
    The air that you breathe and the gift of your light,
    All of your teachers are the ones right beside you,
    Light up the world with spark inside you

  • Can you listen to the wind blow,
    Do you hear the way it whispers out so gently,
    ”Hon, please come home”
    Do you listen to your own soul

    There’s truth in every sunrise,
    Do you feel the way he gently gives and gives,
    And lights your whole life,
    And he doesn’t ever ask why

    I wanna live like that, I wanna give like that,
    I wanna live like that, I wanna be like that,
    I’m gonna live long, I’m gonna be strong,

    I’m gonna give

  • Quiet violet midnight moon,
    Cast your shadow portrait my way,
    Cherry blossom river rain,
    Honey due-lit mountain highway

    Teach me how to live and get better,
    Catch me if I head down low,
    When the tide comes up don’t let me let go

    Marigolden mountain flower,
    Send that sacred sonnet my way,
    Honey due-lit lilac rain,
    Take me on that endless highway

    Teach me how to live and get better,
    Catch me if I head down low,
    When the tide comes up don’t let me let go

    Maybe I could learn to get better,
    Maybe I could learn to go slow,
    When the sun comes up don’t let me let go

  • Open up and let go,
    Let the river wind carry you home,
    Do you feel it, can you hear it down low,
    Like a locomotive coming in slow,
    Flicker with the flame down low,
    Round and round and round we go

    You don’t ever wanna lose your light,
    I won’t ever let you lose that fight,
    Everything is gonna be alright,
    Everything is gonna be just fine
    I won’t ever let you lose your way,
    I won’t ever let it go that way,
    Everything is gonna be alright,
    Everything is gonna

    But don’t you ever forget,
    Spread kindness to the ones you’ve met,
    Give a little more than you get,
    Abandon any old regret,
    Just focus on the goals you set,
    Cus this old life’s not over yet

  • High out on the hill there’s a star that shines,
    Like a mountain fountain cradle in the wind,
    I can hear you calling through a true blue light,
    In the voice of a Holy river halo

    You had a good life,
    You had a good life then and forever will it be,
    You had it all right

    I can see you smile with your paintbrush high,
    In the bright lit white lit canvas of the moon,
    Dance with every angel in the violet sky,
    But promise that you’ll find me when I get there,
    I’ll live a good life,
    I’ll live a good life here cus you’ll always be with me,
    We’ll be alright,
    You had it all right

    When I fall, will you help me stand,
    Will you hold my hand
    When I call, when I need my friend,
    Hold my hand
    When I’m down and out and question who I am,
    Hold my hand
    If I fall and fall, I know I’ll fall again,
    Hold my hand
    When the flood comes rushing through the dam,
    Hold my hand,
    When the waves comes crushing down again,
    Hold my hand
    When my life, returns to dust and sand,
    Hold my hand

  • We’ve all got thoughts that we hold tight,
    Some are secret some are shown
    My thought is you and it stays quiet
    Some things are better left unknown
    I take a walk in the moonlight
    You won’t stop dancing round my head
    I walk straight into midnight
    Rehearsing lines I wish I said

    You reel me in, you don’t say no
    I’m here to let go
    Say it loud, just let me know
    I’m lonely I don’t know
    I don’t know

    I grip the thought of you so tight,
    You’re all I wish that I could find
    It cuts me deep when you don’t write,
    The truth is careless and unkind

    Reel me in or let me go
    It’s time you say so
    Say it loud, just let me know
    I’m lonely I don’t know
    Your silence cries in mellow tones,
    Do you think of me at all
    Say so

    Reel me in or let me go,
    You can’t keep saying you don’t know
    The nights are long and it’s getting old
    Uncertainty is cold

    Say it loud just let me know
    I’m lonely I don’t know
    Your silence cries in mellow tones
    Do you think of me at all

  • There is light and it shines
    It burns with a sweet desert glow
    Carries me off into dreams imagined
    A place that I frequently go

    You, you’ve not known me at all,
    You’ve not known that I cherish your way
    Oh how I wish that for just a moment
    You’d hear what my heart longs to say

    If you know, if you know
    I believe that you know
    If you know, if you know
    Then Tell me

    Oh how you dance with the day
    Your smile a heavenly glow
    Speaks without language and
    brushes me gently
    With words I intrinsically know

    If you know, if you know
    I can’t leave it alone
    If you know, if you know,
    Then tell me

    If you know, if you know
    I pray that you know
    If you know, If you know,
    Then tell me

  • I get the point you’ve hammered home,
Silence is a talent you’ve chosen to hone,
    
I’m left to sit here and battle the moment



    Eight long weeks not one hello,

    You boarded that plane
    And you just let me go,
    
It’s as if you choose to refuse my existence

    Now you’re miles of time ahead,

    Casually drifting from
    The words that you said,
    I’m not equipped to be out here this lonely

    I’m alright things are fine

    But life gets tricky when you’re on my mind

    Waive goodbye I’ll send my best


    Cus it was nice to ya



    You cut me out with impressive ease,
    
molded this silence with your own expertise
    
Sooner or later that game’s gonna get ya



    Now I am left here with nothing at all,

    Bruised and abused from the almighty fall,
    
My radio skips up and it trips up my daylight



    I’m alright things are fine
,
    But life gets tricky when you’re on my mind

    Waive goodbye I’ll send my love


    I’ll be good I’mma take it slow
,
    life’s a river and the river will flow

    I’m feeling good this time around
    
Waive goodbye cus it was nice to know ya

  • Well you’re flaunting all these photos
    Of you and that other guy
    But you don’t love him much
    You’re simply living one big lie
    You told me so, nobody knows, but me

    He takes you out to dinner
    And you let him in your bed,
    But you’ve not gone a day in months
    Without me in your head
    You told me so, nobody knows, but me
    Nobody knows

    It’s not right
    Feeling like I’m hopeless in this fight
    It’s not right
    Running round in circles like I’m blind,
    It’s not right, no, it’s not right

    Well he seems nice enough yet
    He’s completely unaware
    You’ve written me and promised
    You’re not going anywhere
    You told me so, nobody knows but me

    He gets to kiss your lips he gets to
    Tell you all your charms
    And every night you dream of
    Finding comfort in my arms
    You told me so, nobody knows

    It’s not right
    Feeling like I’m hopeless in this fight
    And it’s not right
    Running round in circles like I’m blind,
    It’s not right, no, it’s not right
    Shatters me and keeps me up at night,
    It’s not right, no, it’s not right

  • If I leave here
    If I leave and say goodnight,
    Would you argue, would you fight
    Cus we both know that it’s dragged out,
    And it’s over, and it’s painful, Isn’t it

    You’ve been keeping quite a distance,
    I have not found an instance where I could
    Feel like I was born for you
    I believe our days are through

    You’ve been calling me the bad guy
    But why should I feel bad if all I want to do
    Is run from you
    I believe our days are through

    You’re so quick with a word that’s as
    Sharp as a spear
    Thick with an anger that ignites
    When I come near you
    It’s a crying shame, this love game
    It’s just a silly little game

    Seems we don’t agree with much girl
    You’ve been living in some far out world
    That I can’t begin to even understand
    I don’t think anyone can

    When I’m with you I’m alone
    You say you want me gone,
    I’m fine with that
    I’m fine

  • Feeling like it’s over,
    Feeling like it’s all done now
    Hit me like the thunder
    Hit me on the long way down
    Maybe it’s true what they say
    Love can sometimes fade away

    Now the world is changing
    Now you’ve gone and flown away
    Left me here to wonder
    Left me here to find my way
    Maybe it’s true what they say
    She never much liked you anyway

    Gentle is the moonlight
    Rolling off the hills that way
    Sacred is this thunder
    Rattles at my heart in pain
    And if it’s true what they say
    Don’t just turn the other way

    Maybe It’s true, nothing’s next
    But you’re too hard to forget

  • Well I wanna go on a trip,
    Wanna get out and feel like I’m alive,
    Wanna get things running around again

    I wanna go somewhere hip
    Wanna get lost in some fun,
    eccentric small town,
    Where every stranger pays a smile

    I’m tried of no changing in my life
    I could use an eight to ten hour-long drive
    My mind is made up,
    I’ma turn the music way up,
    And head out on that highway road again

    Well I wanna scope every stop
    Wanna scout every
    Mom and pop antique shop
    Maybe get a bag of souvenirs

    I wanna find a really good spot,
    With a big old lake and a
    Run-down wooden dock
    Play my guitar against the wind

    I’ll write a song about the things I’ve seen
    All about the time I’ve spent and
    What life means

    My mind is made up,
    I’mma turn the music way up
    And head out on that highway road again

  • The world is much bigger now you’re gone,
    I hear your voice in every song
    Feelin like a shadow,
    In a world I don’t belong,
    Then your sweet love came along

    Now you’re miles of time ahead,
    You voice still echoes in my head,
    Feelin like a shadow,
    In a world I don’t belong
    Then your sweet heart came along

    Where would I be had I not met you
    How would my days continue on
    Who would I be had I not found you
    I guess I had it all wrong,
    Until your sweet heart came along

  • I kept it all inside
    I’ve given everything I can
    Here we are again

    You split the world in two
    You promised love when it was strong
    Then it all went wrong

    So quick to turn away
    I’ve gone as far as I can go
    I gadda live you know

    You gripped the time away
    Now you’re gone as I am here
    It’s been a long long year

    Maybe it’s all over now

    You slipped a long long way
    You ran off angry with yourself
    You know I wished you well

    What’s left to say out loud
    Your thoughts have turned us into stone
    We’re better off alone

    Maybe it’s all over now

  • Every now and again,
    Life will split the river in two,
    Whisper what you never quite knew and get you goin now

    Any time any day,
    Truth is in the rivers we row,
    Deep within the hills that we know, down every long road

    But the question that I wanna know
    What good is life if love is left alone

    Are we living in time,
    Deep within the years that we know,
    Happy with the way that we go, the way the sun shines

    Are we waiting for signs,
    Places that we wanna let go,
    People that we need to let know,
    The truth is anywhere you go

    But the question that I wanna know
    What good is life if love is left alone

    You sing out loud as if your mind needs running room,
    I struggle long now just to hold you

    So much of life is in the love that comes to be
    Let it know you

  • In the morning, when you wake up,
    I love you so
    At day break, you’ve seen me,
    I love you so
    In the night time, when the moon’s up,
    I love you so
    When the rain drops, come falling,
    I love you so
    In the day time, when the sun comes,
    I love you so
    At day break, you call me
    I love you so
    When the thunder, comes a knocking,
    I love you so
    Come spring time, you’ve seen me,
    I love you so

    I’ve been searching for a beautiful mind,
    I heard you calling through the grapevine,
    I heard you calling I know,
    Heard you calling

    Send me out baby you’re a beautiful mind,
    We started running at the right time,
    Keep it coming I know, keep it coming
    You keep it coming I know


    You’re a beautiful find

  • I’ve been in and out of thought now,
    Trying to better my way,
    I remember, we were children just the other day

    Easy living in the old light
    Remember what you would say, gimme a break
    I ain’t ever growing up and giving that away

    Getting older, getting older
    The years unfold and life she holds me closer
    Getting older, getting older
    I’m younger now but life somehow it’s older

    I remember all the run around,
    Love was easier then
    Staying out till the sun would come around again
    Dreaming bigger than we knew right
    Remember what you would say, ain’t it a shame
    I ain’t ever growing up and giving that away

  • No one has ever loved the way you love,
    No one has ever been the way you’ve been before now
    In with every day you see, the truth it brings you close to me now
    Who could ever love the way you love

    No one has ever prayed the way you pray
    No one has ever laughed the way you laughed before now
    In with every breath you take, a song that keeps the world awake now
    Who could ever know the world you know

    Oh, isn’t it wonderful
    No one has ever seen life the way you see it now
    Oh, isn’t it beautiful
    Just remember deep down is where the spark is found
    Strike up the band with just a sound

    No one has ever hurt the way you hurt
    No one has ever dreamed the way you dream
    Life is a symphony and every note you sing is meaningful
    Who is anyone to put you down

    Oh, isn’t it wonderful
    No one has ever seen life the way you see it now
    Oh, isn’t it beautiful
    Just remember deep down is where the spark is found
    Strike up the band with just a sound

    Let the light shine down
    But there’s no one around
    Is it too intense or is it just a thought in a cloud
    Strike up the band with just a sound

  • Driving and all I see,
    Is the road out in front of me,
    Or is it the road inside of me,

    The only thing I know for sure,
    Is a melody soft and pure,
    Carries on throughout the days the we know,
    The river winds blow and sweep the songs along the days that we know
    Wherever we go

    And all the while I’m thinking of you and I
    Oh why

    Girl I’d like to spend my life with you,
    We could buy a house and paint inside our living room,
    A cozy little home for you and I

    We could decorate the walls while the records play,
    I could hang my old Picasso next to your Schiele,
    A perfect little home for you and I,
    You and I, so simple like the birds and the bees,
    The leaves and the trees,
    The winter wind breeze,
    under the moon, and in our cocoon,
    I’ll cradle you long

    And when the kids come running it’ll be such a ball,
    We could hang up all their portraits on the kitchen wall,
    A perfect little home for you and I,
    You and I, so simple like the birds and the bees,
    The leaves and the trees,
    The winter wind breeze,
    Under the moon, and in our cocoon,
    I’ll cradle you long, I’ll sing you sweet songs,
    And whisper honey aint it funny us two,
    Me and you,
    Take a look at what grew,
    Up from the seedling that was once but a smile,
    And oh all the while, I’ll be your friend

  • I’ve got it made,
    I’m with the one I love, I’m not afraid
    She calls for me,
    That’s when I know right where I’m supposed to be
    Much like the sun,
    She warms the hearts of all and everyone she meets
    And how I long,
    For every note of her exquisite song

    I saw you there,
    I said hello I like the clothes you wear,
    You smiled at me,
    Now we sit with years of you and me, you and me

    They call it fate,
    The gifts in life that simply can not wait,
    We call it love,
    A glimpse of all that’s waiting up above
    Ant it’s waiting for you

    Years from now I hope to know you,
    I know I’ll know you,
    Because we’ve got a good thing
    We got a good thing goin on

  • Look there goes Joanna with her hair down,
    Smiling at the fellas when they come round
    Used to be my lady ‘till we broke down

    Aint it a shame,
    The roads we walk are changing with the day
    Then you’re off as if there’s nothing more to say
    It brings me down, I know you’re out there running away

    Send me on a river all the way down
    Hit me with the river water run round
    Kiss me like you never wanna leave now

    Aint it a shame,
    The roads we walk are changing with the day
    Then you’re off as if there’s nothing more to say
    It brings me down, I know you’re out there running away
    Gimme a break,
    The road we walk is more than just a thrill,
    Though you’re gone, a memory is living still
    It brings me down, I know you’re out there finding your way

    Look there goes Joanna with her hair down

  • Every time I think you’ll never come around again,
    Every time I get to thinking that you’re running away from my life,
    Every time I hope to see you come around again,
    Feel my way,
    Then you come and tell me love will never let me go
    Then we turn around

    Every time you keep me up until you gadda go,
    Every time I get to thinking that there’s nobody round in my life,
    Every time I get to saying I don’t wanna go,
    Feel my way,
    Then you find a way to pick me up and let me know

    And oh the storm comes
    It shakes you up and lets you know
    Which way to turn and where to go

    Every time you get to thinking this is just a game,
    Every time you get to thinking that there’s nobody round in your life,
    Every time that you don’t listen to the angels sing,
    The skies turn down and the clouds begin to call

    And oh the storm comes
    It shakes you up and lets you know
    Which way to turn and where to go

    Will you be courageous,
    Will you be strong ,
    Will you be able to take the rain,
    Because it will surely come

  • Wakes up to sunlight that blankets the floor,
    Next to the one he’d do anything for,
    He calls out a prayer and he means every word,
    A song that’s been passed down the line,
    A song that protects him and tells him that all will be fine

    Goes to the kitchen and picks up a pear,
    Smiles as he sits in his favorite chair,
    He calls out a blessing as old as the sun,
    With words that his family all knows,
    Words that bring praise to the earth and to all that it grows

    These are waves of love in the eternal ocean

    Happily humming he runs back upstairs,
    Eager to see what his pretty wife wears,
    He calls out her name and she opens the door,
    And hugs him with all of her might,
    And they look to the heavens and the angels look back in delight
    Together they sing

    He sings a song that has traveled a long long way,
    From the deepest part of his soul,

    He says hey lord, why’d you pick me,
    There are millions that need more than I,
    There are children that fight to be free,
    There are mothers that sit and they cry
    But the answer came back in the shine of his pretty wife’s eye
    Together they sing

    Let us rejoice, and swim in the river, the eternal river,
    It is a river of strength,
    and a river of peace,
    and a river of joyous laughter and living love

    Modeh Ani
    Thankful are we

  • She lives in a cabin a home in the hills
    Her life has been lovely she's always seen sunshine
    She dreams and she jokes and she laughs and she smokes
    And the guys are all saying this girl's got the right mind

    I live back down on ground
    Her love is a dream that I haven't found

    She lies in the field and she acts as if nobody sees her
    But they all believe that she's just right
    She paints with the purples and pinks of the sky
    Timid and shy I wish I could belong there

  • You could keep me up late I don't mind
    Sweet sunshine girl of mine
    You could keep me up late I don't mind
    You know I would never go home

    I would love it if you could wake up next to me
    An extra key is yours for free
    I would love it if you could wake up next to me
    You know you would never go home

    Love is quite mysterious in its own peculiar way,
    A song so sweet and peaceful it would steal your little heart away
    It's coming round,
    And when you hear that sound,
    That's me calling your name

    Girl I wanna see you like all the time
    Sweet sunshine lady of mine
    I would love if I could see you like all of the time
    You know I would never go home
    And I would love it if you could cuddle up next to me,
    An extra key would be yours for free
    I would love it if you could cuddle up next to me
    Oh you know you would never go home

    Love is quite mysterious in its own peculiar way,
    A song so sweet and peaceful it would steal your little heart away

    It's coming round, and when you hear that sound,
    That's me calling your name

    And they say love is quite mysterious in its hiding in your fate
    A song so sweet and peaceful its like a drink your little ears could taste
    It's coming round, and when you hear that sound,
    That's me calling your name

  • I got a bike and it's the fastest one in town,
    You may have seen me ridin' around
    No need for engines, no ignition key,
    I get along with my own two feet

    Its orange and black and the wheels are strong,
    And I can ride a long, long time
    You can't find me slippin' slidin'
    Always glidin' always ridin' my bike

    I like my bike, it treats me right
    It feels so good, I'm glad it's mine
    I ride at day, I ride at night
    I like my bike, it treats me right

    And it's a smooth operation
    I gadda ride it, ride, ride

  • I've read of your name in the books of my life,
    Promised I'd visit most every night,
    I'm here, come down

    Your voice is enough to prove all that I need,
    My mind is the garden you've granted the seed
    I'm here, come down

    And all the greatest minds have seen,
    The ups and downs of life in this machine,
    Send me on my way just let me know,
    Which way to go

    You sing to me words of a soft lullaby,
    Gentle and lovely a kiss from the sky,
    I'm here, come down

    My smiles and laughter have lasted this long,
    Prove to me words and that love is not wrong,
    I'm here, come down

  • If ever you're at worry,
    Forget what they say
    Their words a bunch of nothing,
    Its just rain in your way

    It seems that when we fall down,
    We learn exactly who we are

    Well I think, and I care,
    I dream, oh and I dare,
    I still laugh, I still cry,
    Well I would love you to see

    Baby won't you nuzzle up close
    Momma you're but a cloud, a waterspout,
    Come and drench me,
    I surely won't mind
    Dancin' up in your drip drops all the time

    Baby won't you cuddle up close
    Momma you'd never leave,
    discrepancy won't come between us
    Nope, I'll always be kind
    Leavin' dreams early with a morning kiss on my mind

    And I've seen your other boyfriends,
    They've been nothin' but a frown
    Takin' you out on Tuesday night
    And on the weekend they can never be found
    I'm not one to promise girl but I can surely promise this,
    That I think, and I care,
    I dream, Oh and I dare,
    I still laugh, I still cry,
    Well I would love you to see

    Baby won't you nuzzle up close
    Momma you're but a flower, a dandelion lasts forever
    In a garden of mine
    Girl just wanna love you all the time

  • Precious are the lives that we live,
    Are the dreams that we dream of,
    Are the times that we give
    Always angels lie within site,
    Hearing all the speak of,
    Watching dreams in the night

    You've flown with birds and astronauts,
    Seen your life from way above it all
    Tears have fallen, friends have gone,
    And you have seen better days you have

    Lovely are the days that we know,
    Are the thoughts that we speak of,
    Are the times that we grow

    This life showing all that we see,
    Making all that we live for,
    Making all that we see

    You've flown with birds and astronauts,
    Seen your life from way above it all
    Tears have fallen friends have gone,
    And you have seen better days you have
    And it hits home,
    It comes home

  • Man she's gone away again,
    This time more than just pretend
    But I can tell just by an angel,
    This aint the end

    I can see it in her eyes,
    I can smell it in her way,
    But I can tell just by her footsteps,
    She's gone away

    She said its gunna be good now
    Its gunna be good now

    Man she went away today,
    She said hey man you bound to pay,
    Well I admit girl I've done wrong,
    That's why I'm singin' this song

    You say its gunna be good now
    Hey man it's gunna be good now

  • You can find me anywhere you run
    I'm part of the plan and we began to young
    A passion rich with love and weak with hate
    A marvelous ending not a drop too late

    Well I remember all the sunny days,
    Where the clouds hung high in flight
    You could hear the crickets singin' lullabies,
    Sneakin' out at night

    Tossing pebbles at my windowsill,
    You had your bike layin' on its side
    Hopin' and wishin that I'd hop on down,
    Go for a late night ride

    There we could
    Walk just a little bit,
    Talk just a little bit,
    Play all the games that I know
    Sing just a little bit,
    Dance to the rhythms playin' on my radio

    I remember all the tree house days,
    Holdin' hands waitin for the stars
    Talkin' of a brilliant plan, we'd fly away,
    We could build a home on mars

    There we could
    Walk just a little bit,
    Talk just a little bit,
    Play all the games that I know
    Sing just a little bit,
    Dance to the rhythms girl till we’re grown and old

    Then our time would run short,
    Would reach its line
    And our lives would face their demise

    And we'd leave our words and promises behind
    Unwind and leave into the night
    You'd drift away, but we'd meet some day
    On the other side

  • You washed away,
    And you watched me sink down to the bottom
    You set sail high, and you waived goodbye,
    As I lie on the bottom

    You crashed ashore,
    And you set up camp on his island
    He talked his talk, and he made you laugh
    He took your hand, and he touched your face
    You kissed his lips, and you gave yourself to him

    They say time, it's all about time
    I don't want time
    You're now a cold and angry song

    Now you're gone, and the days are long
    Down here on the bottom
    You hurt yourself, he didn't care for you
    And I like stone, I stand alone,
    And pronounce you old friends

    Time, it's all about time,
    I don't want time
    You're now a cold and angry song
    You're cold and you're gone to me

  • Well I've been shakin'
    
Feelin' out my way

    And I've been fakin'

    Slippin' through each day


    Well all I know is what I want

    And what I got man it aint easy

    All I know is what I want

    And what I got man it aint real

    She said to me



    Keepin it up man we don't stop singing and we only
 bring it back to you

    Layin it down for the people and crowd oh they could
 scream until you know its true
    
They laugh and we laugh and they dance and we show
    
But we can only sing it back to you

    Singin the songs that groove a little too long aint
the style
    Man you know its true

    

She always told me

    Be careful who you choose

    Look the wrong way

    You'll end up gone you lose


    Well all I know is what I want

    And what I got man it aint easy
    
All I know is what I want

    And what I got man it aint real

    She said to me



    Keepin it up stop we don't stop singing and we only
 bring it back to you

    Layin it down for the people and crowd oh they could
 scream until you know its true

    They laugh and we laugh and they dance and we smile
    
But we can only ever groove for you

    Singin the songs that groove a little too long aint the style
    Man you know its true

  • Someday when my life is gone and done
    One day you'll be out in the backyard sun
    Open up your mind and meet me deep inside your soul
    You'll see it's me who makes you smile
    We'll be together in a while

    Someday when our kids have grown and gone
    One day you'll be barefoot on the lawn
    Tilt your little head up and the wind will kiss your face
    It's me stopping by to say
    I'm there every time you pray
    I'm gone now but it's alright
    I'll visit your dreams tonight

    Someday when your bones are old and frail
    One day when it's too hard to get the mail
    Lay on back just close your eyes become eternity
    I'll be waitin on the end
    Just me a lover and a friend
    You're home now where you belong
    Your life was a beautiful song

  • Even when the clouds are low and sing the saddest song
    Even when you're down on luck though you've done all but wrong
    Listen to the words I've sang so many times before
    We could age a hundred years and still I'd love to love you more

    Even when you're forced out to the hills to run and think
    Even when you're torn up and you fear this boat might sink
    Listen to the words I've sang so many times before
    We could age a hundred years and still I'd love to love you more

    I'd like to think we'll both stay young
    I pray we'll always be this strong
    The truth in life is simple, we're all right where we belong

    May forever be the days of loving, laughing living free
    May the times that we both share be long and strong with honesty
    Though the fear of death may linger as it's done to all before
    We could live and die and meet again for many seasons more

  • Lately I've been feeling like I'm getting older
    feeling bolder like a veteran soldier
    Of a time spent crooked in this love game coming strong
    Living like a melody forever comin'
    Guitar strummin' heart still pumpin'
    Like a locomotive engine on a freight train way out west
    Seen twenty-three summers and I'm dyin' just to see the rest

    Deep inside the country there's a secret tune
    That the stars only sing in the light of the moon
    And every season there's a different one that echoes 'till the mornin' comes

    Blessed be the trees that are forever showin'
    Life keeps goin' all things grow
    And in the corners of the world there's other people dreamin' just like you
    The answer's never hiding if you know just what to listen to

    The years roll by like familiar songs
    We spend our days in search of where we came
    In search of where we came

    People like to say that everything means nothin'
    Man thats somethin' how is nothin'
    The gift of every word and every thought you ever called your own

    Me I like to say that everything means somethin'
    Future's nothin' time keeps comin'
    And the places that we go and all the people there are heaven sent
    Still it's tough to keep in mind when you're workin' just to pay the rent

    The years roll by like familiar songs
    We spend our days in search of where we came
    In search of where we came

  • Is it strange of me to say that girl I love you
    Is it wrong of me to say I may have gotten up and fallen for you

    But now you're further than a singing distance
    Just another painful instance of love

    I may have never even seen you
    I could have gone another way
    I could have chosen another day

    But now you're further than a singing distance
    Just another painful instance of love

    I may have never even kissed you
    You could have gone another way
    You could have chosen another day

    But now you're further than a singing distance
    Just another painful instance of love

  • Grant her peace and guard her smile
    Give her the love you've saved a while
    Sing your songs onto this child

    Show her the ways of the wind
    And the night's turn to dawn

    Bless her time through seasons long
    Give her the love of children strong
    Forgive her gently when she's wrong

    Show her the ways of the wind
    And the night's turn to dawn

  • You could take all of my time honey
    You could take all my dreams

    You could take all of my smiles momma
    You can have all of these things

    So strange the way you always seem to know
    What I want and where I wanna go

    You could take all of my time honey
    You could take all my dreams

    You could take all of my smiles momma
    You can have all of these things

    So strange the way you always seem to know
    What I want and where I wanna go

    So if you stick around you'll always see
    This love don't cost a penny no it's free

    Should you stick around you'll always know
    My little peanut baby I'ma love you if it rains or snows

    You could take all of my time honey
    You could take all my dreams

    You could take all of my smiles momma
    You can have all of these things

    So strange the way you always seem to be
    The one I want to leave my dreams to see

    And if you stick around you'll always know
    This love don't cost a penny no no no
    And should you stick around you'll always see
    My little peanut baby I'ma love you for eternity

    'cus it ain't never gonna die
    It's as real as you and I

  • Well if ever there's a day
    That I might have to say
    I'll see you some day soon

    Would you hold me like an infant
    Keep the vows of love and friendship all in tune

    These highway roads will have me back home soon

    And if ever there's a night
    That just the sight of other lovers knocks you blue
    I'd call you up to say hello
    Speak only words of comfort onto you

    These highway roads will have me back home soon

    These highway roads have got me
    These highway roads can't keep me
    These highway roads will bring me back to you

  • Janey what's wrong girl today
    Your spirit seems broken
    You're strange with your way

    Janey please come out and play
    The children they miss you
    They hope you're okay

    But these tears from a lover
    They won't let you wait
    They come like an evening's rain

    Jany you're drifting away
    Your parents they worry
    Least that's what they say

    Janey don't make it this way
    Your friends all them gather
    They hope and they pray

    But these tears from a lover
    They won't let you wait
    They come like an evening's rain

    Janey's been sad for a while
    He left without kissing
    He left her no smile

    Janey it's so hard for me
    To say you'll feel better
    When I don't believe

    I know these tears from a lover
    They won't let you wait
    They come like an evening's rain
    Oh these tears from a lover
    They're strange with their way
    They come like the seasons change

    Tears from a lover have fallen today

  • Oh baby why you treat me like that
    Comin' around man you give me one laugh
    Oh momma what you say about that
    Comin' around man you give me one laugh

    Go with it
    All and if you feel like havin' fun
    You can roll with it
    Long as you come back down on the run
    Days of peace and miles of sun
    Years of questions left undone

  • Waive goodbye
    Send your love
    Count the blessings from above
    When I return
    I'll sing a song for you

    Hold me close
    And be my friend
    Know that nothing now is pretend
    When I'm back home
    I'll write a song for you

    We go up
    And we go down
    The pages turn
    And we go round
    We go

    So worry not
    My will is strong
    And it's clear we both belong
    When I dream I know I'll find you there

    The things in life are make believe
    What is real is all that we've
    Come to find in a love so beautiful

    We go up
    And we go down
    The pages turn
    And we go round
    We go

  • Centuries have shown our fate
    Come the tyrants with their blood and hate
    The scroll from which we teach and read
    To them is but a poison seed

    And the rockets fly with roots so cold
    And the hatred's hurled with stones so old

    Shots ring out and seasons turn
    Plans of peace begin to fade and burn
    And oh six million aint enough for he
    They're pounding at your gates my sweet Jerusalem

    Oh Jerusalem
    City of my heart
    City of my soul
    City of the truest truth of all

  • Packin' it up in the early morn
    I got sunshine in my way
    Got a full tank of gas in my 86 Chevrolet

    Lightin' it up in another town
    Relaxation is easin in to me
    Twenty four miles to Cleveland and I'll be free

    Livin' it up while the music plays
    I got rhythm traveling up going through my veins
    Hanging my arms out the window before it rains

    We packed it up in the early morn
    We had sunshine in our way
    Settling down in Boston and I'm okay

  • Takin' it back about seven or eight days ago
    When that silly man with his saxophone started playing again
    I never met a man that could play the way he played
    He was out on the corner with his horn in hand
    You'd always hear him say

    You gotta give it soul
    You gotta give it soul lord knows
    You gotta give it soul
    You gotta give it soul

    Just a few days later I was kickin' it with my friends
    When that silly man with his saxophone started playing again
    It was a jazzy tune from his dudes he knew in Chicago
    I never heard a lick that I liked so much
    I felt I knew I know it had soul

  • I remember way back years ago
    The best things around were what we didn't know
    And it was all good
    It was all good

    Truckin' around the yard
    Back in the days before life was hard
    And it was all good
    It was all good
    Oh Lord I remember them days

    Me and Joey Cleary used to hop around
    Ridin' our bikes with the training wheels down
    And it was all good
    It was all good

    And I remember them times like yesterday
    Waiting through the winter for the month of May
    When it'd be all good
    It would be all good

    Playin' roll over and cigar boy too
    Never ever bored I had something to do
    When it was all good

    And I remember them times like yesterday
    Waiting through the winter for the month of May
    When it'd be all good
    It would be all good

    Our dreams are we'll ever have
    Our dreams are all we'll ever need

  • Isn't it strange that we all think
    We all dream and we all change
    Isn't it strange that we all speak
    Yet often times we all refrain

    Don't we all belong here
    There's a reason why we're all here
    You've got friends of new and old
    Teachers who have taught you here

    Isn't it strange that we all feel
    We all laugh and we all cry
    Isn't it strange that we all love
    We all learn to say goodbye

    I am here
    I am now

  • I was taking it up town honey
    I had a session to rip
    I been meaning to call you baby
    I'm sick and tired of your whip

    It's been a hard time living it up today

    We been having a hard time honey
    It's kinda tough hanging on
    I been meaning to tell you baby
    I like it more when you're gone

    It's a hard time living it up today
    It's a hard time giving you up this way

    I been keepin' my head up lady
    I been playin' the game
    I been thinking 'bout old times honey
    I guess there's no one to blame

    I been meaning to throw down baby
    I been meaning to rock
    I been meaning to let go baby
    But you know it's so hard to stop

    It's a hard time living it up today
    It's a hard time giving it up this way

    It's a hard time living it up today
    It's a hard time giving you up this way

  • Drip drops drippin on my forehead
    Puddles are warm tt's a mighty fine storm
    And I'm doin alright

    Momma tells me to wear my raincoat
    I don't ask why, It keeps me dry in the pouring rain

    I got my lunchbox dangling on my right side
    My left hand up high, waives momma goodbye
    In the pouring rain

    Rain rain go away
    Go away so I can play
    I can't make it much longer
    The playground's drippin wet
    Empty swings are all ya get
    Please oh please send me sun

    The school bus rolls up to the front yard
    I scurry into class counting the minutes that pass
    Man it's just pouring rain

    I hear the pitter patters tappin up on the rooftop
    My friends all complain about the thunder and the rain
    Seems nobodies alright

  • Clearly I remember days ago
    Me and Sophie Tucker watched out favorite show
    Kids outside with sidewalk chalk
    Drawing pretty pictures they could barely talk
    Every day was so good to me
    Feeling kinda funky feeling happy to be me

    Not anyone else cus I am
    Not anyone else cus I love

    Summer time summer days summer reelin'
    Kick off my shoes my shirt and now I'm feelin that
    summer sun shining down on me
    Lightin my way giving me everything I need
    To feel myself and all the world

    Throwin smiles round to everyone
    Walking through the park havin lots of fun
    The baseball diamond was full of kids
    Running round the bases they began to sing

    I'm not anyone else cus I am
    Not anyone else cus I love

  • Oh what a beautiful day it has been
    Said the bird to the people but the people don't understand

    Oh what a marvelous journey it has been
    Said the wind to the leaves in the trees standing tall

    And they all sing

    Oh what a mighty find world we're living in
    Sang the grass to rock in the sand by the shore

    Oh what a long long long journey it has been
    Sang the ocean to the rivers and the lakes and the creeks

    And they all sing
