"Bridge Of Love"

"Bridge Of Love"

There's a gap in the world
Only love can fill
And we can bridge that gap
If we have the will
No it won't be easy
We'll need help from above
But if everybody pitches in
We can build a bridge of love

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Then one day we'll cross that
Bridge to a better life
And we'll leave behind us
That old world of strife
When we reach our new world
Hate we'll never fear
And I bet if we could see God's face
He'd be smiling from ear to ear

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love

"Broken Toys"

"Broken Toys"

Such a pretty little face,
With a heart that's been torn.
Living in a borrowed space,
From the moment she was born.
How many times shes cried,
But never tears of joy.
Someones taken a little girl, and made a broken toy.

Two sad little eyes,
Painted heartbreak blue.
The simplest of his dreams,
Never will come true.
Someone elses pain,
Fell on this little boy.
Someones taken a soldier,
And made a broken toy.

Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone one we break,
A broken life takes its place.

That one day will break toys of its own.
Oh Lord, we've got to mend these broken toys.
And let them be children again,
Give back the innocence stolen from them.

Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone we break,
A broken life takes its place.
That one day will break toys of its own.
Oh Lord, we've got to mend these broken toys.

"Brown Eyed Woman"

"Brown Eyed Woman"

You look at me and baby all you see
Are my blue eyes, I'm not a man
Baby all that I am is what I symbolize

Brown eyed woman, oh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman, oh I could love you so, love you so
Brown eyed woman, I could love you so

All of the years, all the hate and the tears
Have twisted your mind and you turn away
You won't trust what I say and it's tearing me apart

Brown eyed woman, oh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman, oh I could love you so, love you so
Brown eyed woman, I could love you so

I'm holding out my hand to you
Oh, darlin' tell me
Tell me please what else can I do
Brown eyed woman

"Christmas Is Coming Home"

"Christmas Is Coming Home"

As a child I never stopped believing
The joy that filled our house on Christmas Day
By the fire we loved to share the meaning
With songs we sang all through the holiday
Oh, and I long for that feeling
The one of peace on earth for everyone

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home

By the tree we welcomed back the memory
To talk about how fast the year's gone by
So blessed seeing all the family
For a moment, we just stop the world in time
Oh, how I long for that feeling
The one that keeps the Christmas dream alive

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home

When the trees are covered up with snow
In your heart you'll know it's time to go home

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home
Christmas is coming home

"Circle 'Round The Sun"

"Circle 'Round The Sun"

Now, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Yes, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun

I lay down last night, Lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, Lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west

Now I know that sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away

Hey, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Hear me say that
I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Just like a circle around the sun

"City Boys"

"City Boys"

City boys singing country songs
And they tell you what they've seen
City boys singing country songs
But they don't know what they mean
How can a boy from Philly tell ya
How it feels it feels to be in the arms
Of an Oklahoma girl
And how can a New Yorker born and raised
Taste the taste of the popcorn
In an Indiana drive-in movie

City boys wearing western blue jeans
Walking down the streets
Snap down shirt
And cowboy boots
Just a shining on their feet
What good will blue jeans do ya
If you ain't gonna roll around
In the Mississippi mud awhile
And how will the boots come in that handy
If the dandy don't wanna walk across an Iowa cornfield
On a Sunday morning

City boys singing country songs
And they tell you what they've seen
City boys singing country songs
But they don't know what they mean
Now how can a boy from Philly tell ya
How it feels it feels to be in the arms
Of an Oklahoma girl
And how can a New Yorker born and raised
Taste the taste of the popcorn
In an Indiana drive-in movie

"City Sunday Morning Day"

"City Sunday Morning Day"

City on a Sunday morning
Everybody's gone away
Seems to me I like it best that way
Standing on an empty corner
Caught up in a very funny mood today

Footsteps on the sidewalk
Echo on the avenue
6 AM the sun is peeking through
Lazy alley cat is sleeping
Whiling the time away
There's something about a city
Sunday morning day

Traffic jams
Garbage cans
Pushcart vendors
Big time spenders
All have gone away
That's why I love Sunday

The streets are all rolled up empty
I'm strolling down old Broadway
Sure looks like a peaceful town today
A hobo tips his hat good morning
And I tossed him a dime
On a city morning feeling fine

Traffic jams
Garbage cans
Pushcart vendors
Big time spenders
All have gone away
That's why I love Sunday

City on a Sunday morning
Everybody's gone away
Seems to me I like it best that way
Standing on an empty corner
Caught up in a very funny mood today

There's something about a city
Sunday morning day
There's something about a city
Sunday morning day

"Common Ground"

"Common Ground"

Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

I've lived down in a valley
You live on that mountain above
And although we live in different places
The common ground we share is love

Oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

If we met as total strangers
And if we came from different lands
And if we didn't speak the same language
Love's one thing we both would understand

Because love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

"Conversation"

"Conversation"

Conversation
Is gettin' so hard to make
I try to communicate
But I can't get through

We are strangers
But I remember when
You used to be my friend
And my lover too

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation
That's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out
And say what's on our minds

Situations
Keep gettin' in the way
So much we need to say
But we're runnin' out of time

And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried
But I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand

When it's gone
It's gone forever
When it's gone
It's gone for good

Conversation
Things that we've done and said
Keep runnin' through my head
Like a sad echo
No

Desperation
It's gettin' the best of me
I can't make you see
And I can't let go
No

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself
To throw it all away
