"Smile"

"Smile"

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile

"Snowbird"

"Snowbird"

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring

When I was young
My heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you

The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again
Should I decide to stay
So, little snowbird
Take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you

Yeah, if I could I know that I would
Fl-y-y-y-y away with you

"Softly And Tenderly"

"Softly And Tenderly"

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals, He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading?
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies?
Mercies for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home

Oh, for that wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
Calling, oh, sinner come home

"Some Days It Rains All Night Long"

"Some Days It Rains All Night Long"

Sometimes I know how the melody goes
But I don't know the words to the song
Some days go by not a cloud in the sky
And some days it rains all night long

Sometimes it seems like it's just you and me
And nothing could ever go wrong
But love is so strange sometimes it stays
And some days it rains all night long

Sometimes our best isn't all it could be
And sometimes we don't even try
But somehow or other we find what we need
To keep us from saying goodbye

Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's sad
Somehow we keep hanging on
Waiting for rainbows that follow the storm
And some days it rains all night long
Some days it rains all night long

"Somebody's Always Saying Goodbye"

"Somebody's Always Saying Goodbye"

Railroad station, midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
It's the same old scene, time after time
That's the trouble with all mankind somebody's always sayin' goodbye
Taxi cabs leave in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
Someone's leavin' and someone's left behind
Well I don't know how things got that way
But every place you look these days
Somebody's always sayin' goodbye
Take two people like me and you
We could have made it , we just quit too soon
Oh the two of us, we could have had it all
If we'd only tried
But that's the way love is, it seems
Just when you've got a real good thing
Somebody's always sayin' goodbye
Somebody's always sayin' goodbye

"Somebody's Waiting"

"Somebody's Waiting"

When the rooms are all in darkness
And you're knockin' at the door
No one seems to live here anymore
Footsteps in the doorway
Echos in the hall
You know someone's waiting here for you.

When it's cold outside your window
And there's snow inside your shoes
And you're waiting out the cold December blues
Don't hesitate
Three o'clock's not late
You know someone's waiting here for you.

Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
You know someone's waiting here for you.

When the grey clouds roll all over
All your sunny days
And the colours that surround you fade away
Look to your side
Reach out your hand
'Cause you know someone's waiting here for you.

Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
You know someone's waiting here for you.

Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
You know someone's waiting here for you...

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you.

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you.

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, I won't want you.

"Son Of A Rotten Gambler"

"Son Of A Rotten Gambler"

And his love
Will be his vision
And he'll take you
Where you stand
And will you stand
Your life by his and help the boy
Become a man?

Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty
And being his own man handler
Or the son of
The son of a run of the mill run
Rotten gambler?

Will the devil
Be getting to you
As you look back
Over what you've done?

And what you've done
Was it for reason or for rhyme?
Was it just for fun?

Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty
And being his own man handler
Or the son of
The son of a run of the mill run
Rotten gambler?

Back on the road now
You can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now
And you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you
Shine upon you

Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty
And being his own man handler
Or the son of
The son of a run of the mill run
Rotten gambler?

"Song For The Mira"

"Song For The Mira"

Out on the Mira one warm afternoon,
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon
And if they catch nothing they never complain,
I wish I was with them again.

As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore,
Teasing the one that they really adore,
And into the evening the courting begins,
I wish I was with them again.

Can you imagine a piece of the universe
more fit for princes and kings?
I'll give you ten of your cities
for Marion bridge and the pleasure it brings

Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends;
I wish I was with them again.

And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin;
I wish I was with them again.

Can you imagine a piece of the universe
more fit for princes and kings?
I'll give you ten of your cities
for Marion bridge and the pleasure it brings

Out on the Mira the people are kind,
They'll treat you to home-brew and help you unwind.
And if you come broken they'll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again.

And thus I conclude with a wish you go well,
Sweet be your dreams, may your happiness swell,
I'll leave you here, for my journey begins,
I'm going to be with them, going to be with them,
I'm going to be with them again.

"Song Of Bernadette"

"Song Of Bernadette"

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul

No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo

I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done

Tonight, tonight, I just can't rest
I've got this joy here, here inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo

Well, I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

I just wanna hold you
Won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do?
