Got a brand new song right here
A little nothing to place upon your day
Til I can hold you near
The very idea done take my breath away
Because I love you my dear
Let's make the most of this time and of this place
And never sing no songs
About how we gotta move along our way
Hey hey hey I never want it that way!
If I could sing you a song
A little number to take the blues away
I would sing it all night long
To stop the rain from falling on your day
Because you are the only one
Who handed over love and never made me pay
Until the day you sang that song
About how we’ve got to move along our way
Hey hey hey I do not want it that way!
No
Got that same old song right here
A little nothing to go with my nothing day
Because I really miss you my dear
And wish that things had turned out some other way
Now all I have got is this song
Bout how we moved along and I started to play
And I'll never forget this one
Gonna hold it close until my dying day
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Aint no more I can say

Tried to upload a song for you to hear
But it looks like it's gonna take all year
The progress bar says only 1% done
Woe is me and my internet connection
I wait for pages to load while everybody blows me away
Can't have no fun at all with a dial up at 56K
But I live way out in the boonies
And it's the only thing here
So I'll be waiting forever more I fear
My sweet darling
With this sucky connection
Simple things take all day
Stranded in a Yugo with a flat tire
On the information superhighway
The world could come to an end
And I would never know
Too busy waiting for pages to load
My sweet darling
Tried to write an endearing letter and send it off to you
But the email just aint going thru
Tying up the phone for no reason isnt any fun
Woe is me and my internet connection
Oh…

Comes as no surprise from heaven above you
Just one look into my eyes you can see that I’ll
Love you forever baby
Won’t try to deny that’s how it’s always gonna be my dear
Just you and me
La la la la la la la Just you and me
I miss you every time that you are not right in front of me
Until I can hold you tight and you see that I
Love you forever baby
Never try to deny that’s how it’s always gonna be my dear
Just you and me
La la la la la la la Just you and me
Comes as no surprise from heaven above you
Just one look into my eyes and you see that I will
Love you forever baby
Won’t try to deny that’s how it’s always gonna be my dear
Just you and me
La la la la la la la Just you and me
La la la la la la la Just you and me
La la la la la la la Just you and me

Cold day colder night
Missing my darling with all of my might
Summer has turned into fall
Like my mood that is all
Summer has turned into fall
Like my mood that is all
Time marches after me every day
Missing you every step of the way
Won’t get me down cause I know that pretty soon
I’m gonna look into your eyes
And say I love you
Oh yes I do
Time marches after me every day
Missing you every step of the way
Won’t get me down cause I know that pretty soon
I’m gonna look into your eyes
And say I love you
Oh yes I do
Cold day colder night
Missing my darling with all of my might
Summer has turned into fall
Like my mood and that is all
Summer has turned into fall
Like my mood
That is all

I looked out of my window
Could only shake my head
No more green to speak of
And all of the trees are dead
I looked out of my window
As tear came into my eye
No more colors left in the world
And the blue is all gone from the sky
Now looking out of my window
Is more like staring down a grave
This pretty world that I once admired
Has become a dark and scary cave
I walk away from my window
Can only hang my head
Nothing worth looking at anymore
Now that everything is dead
Until next spring I said
Everything is dead

Everything is alright I'm feeling mighty fine
Nobody gonna stick a pin in this little dream of mine
Can't stop me from floating around up here on cloud number 9
Ever since I got under the orange sunshine
Everything is A-OK and I’m smiling through the rain
May be just a little thing but it caused an awful lot of change I’ll tell you
Can’t see how anything is gonna ever be the same
Ever since I looked at you through the windowpane
Now everything is glowing so pretty too
But none of it holds one candle to you
And if things ever start getting weird
Just remember my dear I'm always here for you
Won't you take me by the hand?
And if you can try to understand
My world always has a place for you
With a love so real, and oh so very true
Everything is alright I’m feeling mighty fine
Nobody gonna knock me down from this little dream of mine
Can't stop me from floating around right here on cloud number 9
Ever since I got under the orange sunshine
Ever since I got under the orange sunshine
Ever since I got under the orange sunshine

Went to my job to slave for my pay
This beautiful girl just looking my way
A sweet little smile is what she gave to me
Twenty years later, this mother of three
Twenty years later she's everything to me
So I love my sweet baby for the rest of my days
The one that puts up with my guitar playing ways
Always right there for me, devoted and true
Just another song to say I love you
***
So I love my sweet baby for the rest of my days
The one that puts up with my guitar playing ways
Always right there for me, devoted and true
Just a little song to say I love you
Can't wait until she comes home to me today
This beautiful lady I love in every way
Still got the smile and still giving it to me
Twenty years later, this mother of three
Twenty years later still everything to me
Twenty years later, this mother of three

Thinking About You
03:26
|
|||
I always think of you
Beautiful lifelong friend
Every time that I do
I fall in love again
Wish I were walking with you
Underneath the sun
Instead of letting reality
Intrude upon the fun
Oh…
Wish I were singing to you
Underneath the moon
Instead of missing you
And waiting for pretty soon
I always think of you
Beautiful friend of mine
Every time that I do
I fall in love one more time
Oh…
Wish I were walking with you
Underneath the sun
Instead of letting reality
Exclude us from the fun
I always think of you
Beautiful lifelong friend
And every time that I do
I fall in love again
Oh…

Listen
02:44
|
|||
Woke up just this morning
Got a big surprise
It came without a warning
Or even sweet goodbye
And though I should be fishing
The future bright and true
Instead I sit here wishing
I was sitting there with you
Oh yes I do
I know I ought to listen
To what the people say
Instead I'm just resisting
The truth in every way
And though I should be flying
Into a bright new day
Makes no sense even trying
When I'm looking some other way
Go!
I hear all kinds of voices
Around me every day
They make all my good choices
Screw the rest I say
And though I ought to smile
At how it came to be
Won't happen for a while
Cause you’re not sitting here with me
I know I ought to listen
To what the people say
Instead I keep resisting
The truth in every way
And though I should be fishing
The future bright and true
Instead I sit here wishing
I was sitting there with you

Bright New Day
03:51
|
|||
Walking past the graveyard in the dead of night
Tombstones marching by under the still moonlight
Everybody is sleeping except for me
Except for me
That is just exactly how it ought to be
I hope my songs don't wake the dead
Apparitions flying around my head
Lately things have not been going my way
Going my way
Tomorrow we say hello to a bright new day
OK…
Inside a city on this bright new day
The sun came out & chased all of my trouble away
Started to smile cause I was feeling fine
Oh mighty fine
Happens just that way every time
Walking down the road in the dead of night
Houses are marching by under the traffic light
Everybody is sleeping except for me
Except for me
And that's just exactly how it ought to be
That is just exactly how it ought to be
That is just exactly how it ought to be
That is just exactly how it ought to be

She Stays Home All Day
03:38
|
|||
She stays home all day
All the time getting high
She’s out of her mind
Imaginary dragons fly
And so does the time my friend
It’s always slithering on by
She stays home all day getting high
She tells you she is the one who doesn’t cry
Doesn’t cry
Just waiting for someone to roll by
My oh my
Take a look at the years my friend
They always marching right on by
She tells you life is a bitch and then you die
Then you die
She tells you she is the one who doesn’t cry
Doesn’t cry
Just waiting for someone to roll by
My oh my
She watches the time my friend
It’s always slithering on by
She stays home all day getting high

The Rain Comes
03:34
|
|||
Every time the rain comes
Dropping on my day
It pushes that beautiful sun
Out of the way
Won’t you come along
And make everything OK
Every time the rain comes
Dropping on my day
Every time the sun is
Shining down on me
Everything is alright
As far as I can see
Love my baby for true
And we’re happy as can be
Any time the sun is
Shining down on me
Every time the rain comes
Dropping on my day
It pushes that beautiful sun
Outta the way
But then you came along
And made it all OK
Every time the rain comes
Dropping on my day

Santa Ana Zoo
02:08
|
|||
If you go to California to make your dreams come true
Better let me warn you about a thing or two
Or maybe just this one thing you should never, never do
Don’t disturb the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo
He’s got a secret weapon and it's pointed right at you
Better watch out where you're stepping or he'll open fire too
If you have half a brain here is what you are gonna do
Walk right past the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo
Hell yeah…
How I wish I checked out zebras or polar bears instead
I had to tease the monkey like some kind of knucklehead
I thought it started raining yet the sky was clear and blue
Now I'm gonna shoot the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo
I guess I'm gonna to go there after everything is closed
I better bring my raincoat cause I'm likely to get hosed
With all my heart and soul I swear that every word is true
I wish I never went to the Santa Ana Zoo
I wish I never went to the Santa Ana Zoo

Holding It In
03:15
|
|||
I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known
While love and understanding is all I’ve shown
I must face the truth that's in front of me
When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free
*** It’s hard not to cry – Just to hold it all in
When you suffer in silence and your smile’s growing thin
If the tears start to flow you know they wouldn’t end
So I just keep smiling and holding it in
I try to hang in there it’s the thing to do
Travel down the way of the righteous and true
Sometimes entertaining thoughts of escape
A fantasy dream as the day evaporates
***
No it just isn’t easy to shut off my mind
There are too many thoughts that I can’t leave behind
And the drumbeat I’m hearing is surely my heart
As it cries out in pain while it’s breaking apart.
***
I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known
While love and understanding is all I’ve shown
I must face the truth that's in front of me
When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free

You Are A-OK
02:58
|
|||
Ever since I was young I could never make decisions
Looking at my life like it was channels on a television
Every selection has taken me right out of the way
Except the one that has brought me to you today
Anything that I go through is worth it because of you
And I would want to have things no other way
Everything that others do can’t approach the worst of you
That is why I think you are A-OK
That is why I think you are A-OK
So here I am right now saddled with my indecision
Try getting by on some kind of telepathic intuition
Only thing left for me now is to hope and pray
The choice I made will bring me to you today
Anything that I go through is worth it because of you
And I would want to have things no other way
Everything that others do can’t approach the worst of you
That is why I think you are A-OK
That is why I think you are A-OK
That is why I think you are A-OK

Desperation
03:50
|

Desperation etching lines into your face
Misinformation flying all over the place
Looks like you been having some trouble
Keeping the story straight
But it’s OK
It’s OK
Never counted on me
Never thought that I would say
For what it’s worth I’m sorry
You would harbor ugly thoughts that way
And if you been having some trouble
Getting through your day
It’s OK
It’s OK
Never counted on me
Never thought that I would say
For what it’s worth I’m sorry
You would harbor ugly thoughts that way
And so you’re having some trouble
Getting through your day
And it’s OK
It’s OK
Desperation etching lines into your face
Determination fixing lines firmly in place
And now you’re having some trouble
Getting your own way
And it’s OK
Yeah It’s OK

Read my lips…
America in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts
Have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness
And we stand together to win the war
Against all that is good and just in our world
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil and will be open for business tomorrow
Fires burning, hu-hu-huge structures collapsing
We will make no distinction
And no one will keep that light from shining
Good night, and God bless anger
