Better start another!  4 continuations must be a record! The last entry was from Angel: I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn't cross thread this one! Lookin out on the morning rain (Ah-ooo) I used to feel so uninspired (Ah-ooo) And when I knew I had to face another day (Ah-ooo) Lord it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you Life was so unkind But your love the key to my piece of mind Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel Like a natural woman (woman) "A Natural Woman" ~~the queen of soul........Aretha Franklin Your Happy Epeolatrist!

Early Morning Rain
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go
Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the grass where the cold winds they do blow
And where whiskey was and bars and the women they were fine
There she goes my friend, she rolling down at last
Here the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
There the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down it ain't no earthy good to me
Because I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I can be
You can't hop a jet plane like you can a railroad train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
Gordon Lightfoot

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again -
Oh Babe, I hate to go.

You know if you break my heart I'll go,
But I'll be back again,
'cause I told you once before goodbye,
But I came back again.

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule.
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel.
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you.
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart.
so be very careful not to make us part.
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart
"You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)"

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?
You're So Vain, Carly Simon

You probably think I've lost my mind.
Takin' this chance crossin' that line
But I promise to be truer than true
Dreamin' every night with these arms around you.
I can't wait any longer
This felling's gettin' stronger
Help me find a way

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
Thought I didn't need you no more
But now I'm just laughing
hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry.
boys don't cry--the cure

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Or never belong.

But what I am?

Fear is keeping time with the beating of my heart
Doin' way too much thinkin'
And it's tearing me apart
But I, I feel You reach for me
From lost and not found, to run and not hide
My hand inside ... (Your hand)
Losing my grip falling so far
My hand inside Your hand

(No time left for you) I found myself some wings
(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin' me
(No time left for you) Da-un-da-un-da-un-da-un-da

No time for the love you send

My baby went shopping yesterday she bought what she needs for Santa Claus she wrote a note and left it on the dresser saying she'd take her's with her, and she'd leave mine in her dresser drawers. Naturally that started me to ramblin' Pulling out all my Baby's dresser drawers I just had to find out, What did my Baby buy me for Santa Claus. The landlady saw me ramblin', got mad, and called the law. The landlady tole the police - I caught dat man with his hand
in the ladies dresser drawers.I just kept on, pulling out all my Baby's dresser drawers, Still trying to find out what she done bought me for Santa Claus. The Judge said Sonny Boy,
what you doing with your hands in that ladies dresser drawers ?I showed the judge the note from my Baby that showed that Sonny Boy, Was just trying to find his Santa Claus.

Oh the cuckoo is a pretty bird that waggles as she flies.
But she never sings cuckoo till the very day she lies.
I've gambled in England, I've gambled in Spain.
And I bet you ten dollars that I'll beat you once again.
I built me a cabin on a mountain so high,
So I can see Mary as she goes right by.
I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand.
I'd write my love a letter, Lord, she would understand.

There's an odd sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery, an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say cuckoo
(Cuckoo, cuckoo...)
Regretfully they tell us, but firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you!
So Long, Farewell, from The Sound of Music (R&H)

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor.
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died.
-- Henry Clay Work (1876)

Continuing on the theme here....
There was a man like you and me, as simple as a man could ever be;
And he was happy as a king, except for one peculiar thing.
He had a clock that worked all right,
It worked all right, but not exactly quite;
Instead of going "tick, tock, tick",
the crazy clock went "tock, tick, tock".
"The Syncopated Clock"

Now the time has come (Time!)
There's no place to run (Time!)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time!)
But I had my fun (Time!)
I've been loved and put aside (Time!)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time!)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time!)
Now the time has come (Time!)
There are things to realize (Time!)
Time has come today (Time!)
Time has come today (Time!)

The very thought of you, and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Laughing in a crown of jewels,
numbness from a sceptors wound.
Toss and Turn, I spin and learn,
"catch yourself before you burn."
A joker's dance before the king,
jangling beads, a silver ring.
Close your eyes and bare the sound,
jumping up - falling down.

Though all my law be fudge,
Yet I'll never, never budge,
But I'll live and die a Judge!
(And a good Judge, too!)
Yes, I am a Judge!
(And a good Judge, too!)
Yes, I am a Judge!
(And a good Judge, too!)
Though homeward as you trudge,
You declare my law is fudge.
Yet of beauty I'm a judge.

I write this song in memory
of a woman that I knew
she loved me much and I loved her
but then she never knew
and I was forced to go away
there was nothing I could say
I had to leave that very day
for almost two years or more
and now she's gone and I am left
with memories of her breast
and days of life and nights of love
and all the wondrous rest
I shan't forget
and the effect
it isn't even finished yet
it started 'fore we'd barely met
ten long years ago
yesterday
For Her- Shawn Phillips

THIS MAGIC MOMENT
This magic moment
So fifferent and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna have
Whenever I hold you tight

Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...

Joy to the fifferents in the deep blue sea Sorry, Helen, I couldn't resist!

There was a jolly Milum once
Lived on the river Dee;
He work'd, and sung, from morn till night,
No Lark more blythe than he.
And this the burden of his song,
For ever us'd to be,
"I care for nobody, not I,
If no one cares for me."

My Baby Just Cares For Me
my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
my baby don't care for silks and laces
my baby don't care for high tone places
Clark Gable is not her style
or even Durante's smile
she's sensible as can be
my baby don't care who knows it
my baby just cares for me
I wonder what's wrong with baby
she just cares for me

MAKE ME SPEND MY MONEY,
MAKE ME FEEL REAL LOOSE
LIKE A LONG NECKED GOOSE,

You know the landlord rang my front doorbell,
I let it ring for a long, long, spell,
I peeped through the window and pulled back the blinds,
I said, wont you tell me what is on your mind?
He said "Money Honey" Doo wap de die,
If you want to get along with me.
Well I screamed and I hollered I was so hard pressed,
I called the woman that I loved best,
I finally got my Baby 'bout half passed three
She said, wont you tell me why you calling me?
I said "Money Honey" Do wap de die

This truly great song with well-crafted, highly imaginative, poignantly poetic lyric merits a pasting in its remarkable ripeness. Right?
One morning when I was out shopping
Though you'll find it hard to believe
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
I hurried back to my apartment
I rushed in and I closed the door
But there on my desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
For weeks after that I was haunted
Though no one could see him but me
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
One evening in wild desperation
I rushed to a rooftop in town
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me on the way down
"I wuuuuv youuuu!"
I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!"
I smiled as I hurried outside
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye
"I don't wuv you anymore."
The Little Blue Man

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment but I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts, no more ifs or ands or buts
Oh no!
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin', I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three?
I knew that this was meant to be
Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night
My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'
They all laughed at Al Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
The litany and the logic that went on in my head?
I had a brain, it was insane
Don't you let them laugh at me
When I refused to ride on all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead
'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head... I got two
And you know two heads are better than one"

They laughed at me, wanting you.
Said I was reaching for the moon.
But oh, you came through.
Now they'll have to change their tune.
They all said we never would be happy.
Darling, let's take a bow.
But ho, ho, ho.
Who's got the last laugh now?

~The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind

WO'N day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's CafeJust sitting digging on the scene at Smokey Joe's CafeA chick came walking through the door, That I had never seen before At least I'd never seen her down at Smokey Joe's CafeAnd I started shaking -when she sat right down next to me. Her knees were almost touching mine at smokey Joe's CafeA chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's CafeI could smell her sweet perfume she looked at me my heart went Boom And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's CafeSaid: Man be careful- that chick belongs to Smokey Joe!Then from behind the counter out stepped a man A chef's hat on his head, a knife in his hand He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout... You better eat up all your beans boy and clear right on out Well I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's CafeAnd so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's CafeI'd rather eat my Chili beans at Jims or Jacks or Johns or Jeans, Than take my chances on the scene at Smokey Joe's Cafe. I risked my life - at Smokey Joe's that crazy fool. SMOKEY JOE"S CAFE-The Robins(who later became) The Coasters( I'm so smart. I remembered all the words.)

COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
Performed by Jay and the Americans
(Boyce / Hart/ Farrell )

Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long--how long
Short sighted business men
Ah, nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing--
"You give your love, so sweetly"
One more time

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
Elton John, "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters"

Streets of London
Ralph McTell
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely by his side,
yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old gal who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talkin, she just keeps right on walkin
Carryin her home in two carrier bags
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour and he goes home alone
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading like the ribbons that he wears
In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care
(do you know this as a blue/rap? a ballad? not at all?
i learned it as a ballad, as did my daughter, in the early 90's it was done as a rap song, and her friends were all surprized at its previous existance.)

Tell a tale of married men
of simple shells and curried zen
falling through the world of when
today
serpent coils and hydrofoils
you don't believe what he does with oils
speaking words that he said once
yesterday

Let me tell ya little story bout a man named Jed
The poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin for some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
Oil, that is, Texas tea.
The Beverly Hillbillies song.
(an American televison show from my youth)

We are made of sunbeams
we are made of molten glass
we can light the fire of living
we can learn with an ugly past
we can roar into the future
like a bull with battered brains
and it's a mighty thin line
'tween livin' and dyin
and all these stupid games
and it all depends on if you use your mind
BELIEVE IN LIFE - Shawn Phillips again, I know, but he uses such great words

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

Get outta my dreams, get in the back seat baby
Get into my car, (get in yeah)
Get outta my mind
(Get outta my mind)
Get into my life (get in yeah)
Oh I said hey! you! get into my car
Lady driver, let me take the wheel
Smooth operator, touch my bumber
Hey let's make a deal, make it real
Like a road runner, coming after you
Just like a hero, outta the blue
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And, hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the momeraths outgrabe. Lewis Carroll -- Jabberwocky AnnaS & Keiva: Might as well get the whole thing...Must add this version: The Jabberwocky Spellchecked by Modern Technology Teas broiling and the silty tomes Did gyrate and gamble in the wave All misery were the boroughs And the mime rashes outraged. "Beware the Jabberer, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch Beware the jujitsu bird and shun The furious bantering." He took his viracity sword in hand: Long time the maximal foe he sought So rested he by the tom-tom tree And stood awhile in thought. And as in Irish thought he stood, The Jabberer, with eyes of flame Came waffling through the Tulsa wood And burbled as it came. One two, One Two! And through and through The voracity blade went snicker snack! He left it dead and with its head He went glamoring back. "And hats thou slain the Jabberer! Come to my arms, my bleakish boy! O farmhouse day! Calculi! Canary! He chortled in his joy. Teas broiling and the silty tomes Did gyrate and gamble in the wave All misery were the boroughs And the mime rashes outraged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Lotus version) Twas bridling and the slight toes Did gyre and gimlet in the wade All mimes were the boroughs And the modem rats outgrew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (MS Word version) Twas brisling, and the smithy toes Did gyre and gamble in the wade: All missy were the borogroves, And the mom rates outgrabe. [Edit] I've been reminded that this (the original) is known as a poem, not a song. True, and by rights it would be placed more appropriately in the Poetry thread. However, <rimshot> a cursory study reveals that it has been set to music at least four times. st

Looka there honey o-o-e, looka there honey, mercy me.
Looka there honey o-o-e, way over there by the peacher tree.
Now I love yo peaches, they so mellow and fine,
When if we start lovin',
Every now and then they run across my mind.
Looka there honey, o-o-e, looka there baby, mercy me,
Way over there by the peacher tree.

Look at the widow,
Bloody great cow,
Isn't grand boys, to be bloody well dead?
Lets not have a wimper, lets have a bloody great cry,
and always remember the longer you live,
the sooner you bloody well die!
Look at the preacher,
Bloody great hypocrite,
Isn't grand boys to be bloody well dead? (etc)

Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much...
Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.
Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

And a good Day-o to you too, Wordwind, and thanks.
I, the mechanical Praying Mantis, have been lurking and waiting here in the far right side of your computer screen
for an innocent, beautiful, Golden-Green Jeweled Dragon-fly-ness
like you to become entangled in the sticky crystalline
words of this web thread. NOW I POUNCE...
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly 'cause of Christmas showers
Up come a flattop he was movin'up with me
Then waved good-bye in a little ole souped up fifty
I put my foot in my tank and I blew my horn
Bye Bye New Jersey I become airborne
'Cause you can't catch me
'Cause if you get to close you know I'm gone
like a COOOOooooooOOOOL Breeze!
THE SONG AFTER MAYBELENE - Chuck Berry
Note: It would have been fitting to follow Wordwind's caribbean theme with
Chuck Berry's Havana Moon - a great song.
But I couldn't find a single word to match.
Besides I wanted to experiment with my wide screen cute-ism.
It worked on my screen, but if it messed up anybodys scroll, PM me and I'll delete it. -mw

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me lay down alone, was good the rum
Me fall asleep, the boat she come
The girl she look till come the dawn
She weep and cry, "Return for home"
The whistle blow, me open me eyes
Was bright the sun, was blue the sky
Me grab me shoes, me jump and run
Me see the boat head for horizon
Havana moon, is gone the rum
The boat she sail, me love she gone
Havana moon, Havana moon
Didn't catch her either!
Havana Moon

Don't worry about a thing
cause every little thing is gonna be alright
don't worry about a thing
every little thing is gonna be alright
Rise up this morning
smiled with the rising sun
three little birds
pitch by my door step
singing sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying, this is my message to you:
don't worry about a thing...

You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
"Tonight's The Night"
~~Rod Stewart

Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The Lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
redThere's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I want to be
And I hardly know there's beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
The Lady in Red by Chris DeBurgh
This one goes out to our very own Lady in Red.

Hearts of fire creates love desire Take you high and higher to the world you belong Hearts of fire creates love desire High and higher to your place on the throne We’ve come together on this special day To sing our message loud and clear Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days Future pass, they disappear You will find peace of mind If you look way down in your heart and soul Don’t hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold Stay young at heart ‘cause you’re never (never, never, ..) old at heart That’s the way of the world Plant your flower and you grow a pearl A child is born with a heart of gold The way of the world makes his heart grow cold THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLDMaurice White, Charles Stepney & Verdine White POST EDIT Qweek Draw strikes again! Oh, please Mr. Milo, make the thread go unwide. Please please please? Please!

Everything [dies] baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that [dies] someday comes BACK.
...er...that you Whitty?...O O...a little spooky on the
board tonight...O O...ah come on whitty, is that you?...
The night was black rain fallin' down
Looked for my baby she's no where around
I traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more
I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her foot steps ran into to the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
I ran in the water heart full of fear
There in the break I saw her near
I reached for my darlin' held her to me
I stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.
ENDLESS SLEEP - Marshell Crenshaw
POST EDIT: Consuelo, why is it that the minute
I turn my back you and troves take my place in line?
Gee Whizzz...

Long time ago, on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
Just a few on the scene, and they did agreed,
That the man who ran, looked a lot like me.
The judge said, "Son, what's your alibi?
If you were some where else then you don't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I had been in the arms of my best friend wife.
.................................................
She walks these hills in a long dark veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
No body knows and no body sees,
No body knows but me.

I think I’ll take a walk in the sunshine,
The summer sun’s calling my name,
I’m happy now,
I just can’t stay inside all day,
I gotta get out get me some of those ray-a-ays
Everybody’s happy, sunshine day-ays
The Partridge Family
Didn't the Brady Bunch (The Brady 5?) actually do this one???
"I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun's callin' my name!
Don't worry now I just can't stay outside all day
Gotta get out, gotta get me some of those rays!
Everybody's laughin'
Sunshine day!
Everybody's smilin'
Sunshine day!
Everybody seems, so happy today!
It's a Sunshine day!"

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT
Aretha Franklin
By Bob Lance and Fran Robbins
This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Remember this house!
This was the land that he worked by hand
The was the dream of an upright man
This was the room that was filled with love
This was a love that I was proud of
This was a life of a love I planned
Of a love and a life we loved
Of the house that Jack built.
Remember this house!

Well I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right.
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine,
But I'll make love to you any old time at all.
I can't swim and I can't fly,
I ain't no fish, ain't a bird in the sky.
I'll Make Love To You Anytime-J. J. Cale

My Melancholy Baby
Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue . . .
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you!
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!
< instrumental break >
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

with lyrics by George A. Norton , 1912

You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild.
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest bow.
You must have been a beautiful baby
'Cause baby look at you now.
Johnny Mercer & Harry Warren

Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shadism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism, Thisism, Thatism,
Isn't it the most?
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

I wanna tell you just how I feel
I had a dream baby, I thought it was real
I woke up in love, now you're all I think of
Every day I'm wastin' time
I'm wonderin' how, to make you mine
I'm just wishin' it could be, you feel the same for me
Since that day I've been lost
I jumped on a alligator, I thought it was a horse
I took one hell of a ride, down on bayou side
If I could take you to the fais-do-do
We could dance on end, all across the floor
And we could do it for a while, Louisiana style
I wanna take you to the fais-do-do
Where we can dance baby, until we can't stand no more
I wanna do it for a while,
Louisiana style - Tab Benoit

She's waiting for another love.
She's waiting for another love.
She's been waiting for another love,
Someone that she can show into her heart.
And when she finally finds a stronger love,
Your whole world's gonna fall apart.
She's Waiting - Eric Clapton

Nicole: Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
Ewan: Well, what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, Cause, here I go again! Love lifts us up where we belong, Where eagles fly on a mountain high
Nicole: Love makes us act like we are fools, Throw our lives away, For one happy day
Ewan: We could be heroes, Just for one day
Nicole: You, you will be mean
Ewan: No, I won't
Nicole: And I... I'll drink all the time
Ewan: We should be lovers
Nicole: We can't do that
Ewan: We should be lovers, And that's a fact
Nicole: No, nothing will keep us together
Ewan: We could steal time, Just for one day
Both: We could be heroes, Forever and ever, We could be heroes, Forever and ever, We could be heroes
Ewan: Just because I will always love you
Nicole: I can't help loving you... How wonderful life is
Both: Now, you're in the world
