"I'll Be With You Tonight"

"I'll Be With You Tonight"

It's okay if you're all right
It's good to be here with you tonight
Dressed in moonlight and faded jeans
It ain't no mystery, all it means is
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight

We'll be all right if it's ok
I know I'm crazy but I'm naturally that way
And by the look in your liquid eyes
It won't come as any big surprise but
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight

Everybody's in their own little world
And I've been dreaming about you girl
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight

I'm here with you, you're here with me
Ain't it wonderful just how good it can be
I don't imagine it gets much better than this
But whatever it was it just got crossed off my list
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight
Can't believe I'll be with you tonight

Everybody's in their own little world
And I've been dreaming about you girl
I can't believe I'll be with you tonight

"I'm Changing My Name To Chrysler"

"I'm Changing My Name To Chrysler"

Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
What the dollar used to get us now won't buy a head of lettuce
No the economic forecast isn't right
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray
I can even glimpse a new and better way
And I've devised a plan of action worked it down to the last fraction
And I'm going into action here today

[CHORUS:]
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I will tell some power broker
What they did for Iacocca
Will be perfectly acceptable to me
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am headed for that great receiving line
So when they hand a million grand out
I'll be standing with my hand out
Yes sire I'll get mine

When my creditors are screaming for their dough
I'll be proud to tell them all where they can all go
They won't have to scream and holler
They'll be paid to the last dollar
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
I'll be glad to tell them what they can do
It's a matter of a simple form or two
It's not just renumeration it's a liberal education
Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you

[CHORUS]

Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime
We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb
We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
And it's sad that failure is an awful crime
Well it's been that way for a millenium or two
But now it seems that there's a different point of view
If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
Down to congress there's a safety net for you

[CHORUS]

"I'm Going Home"

"I'm Going Home"

Like the tree that grows so tall
Leaves turn gold and then they fall
They've gone down, but now they've grown
They're going home

Mountain streams may run and flow
Clean the sands on which they go
Stretching down like it had known
It's going home

Sunrise early in the dawn
Slips away, and then it's gone
Leaves the night to carry on
While it's going home

Once a man he lived and died
What he said death could not hide
Even though it's often tried
But he was going home

Now my friends it's time to go
And this love will live to grow
And I want you all to know
I'm going home

"I've Just Seen A Face"
(originally by The Beatles)

"I've Just Seen A Face"
(originally by The Beatles)

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
And we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

"If I Could Only Touch Your Life"

"If I Could Only Touch Your Life"

Where are the dreams
We dreamed when we were younger
Where are the songs we never got to sing
Oh how cold were the nights we slept without each other
Time doesn't wait, but time won't pass us by

If I could only touch your life
With just one part of me
You'll know how much you're needed
And I'll know I finally succeeded
If I could only touch your life with mine

So green the trees and oh so blue the skies
When you are looking through a lover's eyes
Darling these are the days, our days of love and laughter
There'll be no time for tears, the doubts and fears will fly

If I could only touch your life
With just one part of me
You'll know how much you're needed
And I'll know I finally succeeded
If I could only touch your life with mine

If I could only touch your life
With just one part of me
You'll know how much you're needed
And I'll know I finally succeeded
Oh won't you let me touch your life with mine

"If I Had A Hammer (The Hammer Song)"

"If I Had A Hammer (The Hammer Song)"

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

"If You Would Just Drop By"

"If You Would Just Drop By"

Friends I used to know are coming by
To ask me if my situation's high
'Cause sometimes I just stare at the sky
Up is down before Her crown I cry

[CHORUS:]
If you would just drop by sometime
If you would just drop by
If you can possible make it up sometime
I can be there if I try

The world world keeps spinnin' me 'round
Bringing me up and bringing me down
But I can't get there with my feet on the ground
Maybe I oughta start digging a hole around my feet on the ground

[CHORUS]

You know once in while as I sit and stare
I get the feeling that there's no one there
Look at me now as I roll off my chair
How did I know that a chair could be out where I stare?

[CHORUS]

"In Dead Earnest"

"In Dead Earnest"

If I should die before I wake,
All my bone and sinew take
Put me in the compost pile
To decompose me for a while.

Worms, water, sun will have their way,
Returning me to common clay
All that I am will feed the trees
And little fishes in the seas.

When radishes and corn you munch,
You may be having me for lunch
And then excrete me with a grin,
Chortling, "There goes Lee again."

'Twill be my happiest destiny
To die and live eternally.

"Introduction"

"Introduction"

Loose the bonds that tie me
Let the world I live in let me
Take these chains from off my thumb
Let the world just know you've come

Everyone is thinking that there must be a way
Come closer to me a babe, and hear what I say
Lay down beside me, listen to my song
It's something other than it's right or it's wrong

Do you ever seem so happy and feel so sad?
Feel that someone that you never had
