"Off To Work"

"Off To Work"


Now I must be off to work
I sweat all night and feel their nerve
Takin' things together power
Lord, give me strength to make these hours
Soon, my long work day is done
And I run home for the phone, yeah
An hour in the shower

"Oh, Thank You Great Spirit"

"Oh, Thank You Great Spirit"


Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before I'm even awake, the words, the music were complete
I woke up that mornin'
Feelin' so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin' my head
I couldn't quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear
I saw myself lyin' there
Didn't have a care
Piece of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky
Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away

"Old Days"

"Old Days"


Old days, good times I remember
Fun days filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies, comic books and blue jeans
Howdy doody, baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back to a world gone away
Memories seem like yesterday

Oh, old days, good times I remember
Gold days, days I'll always treasure
Funny faces full of love and laughter
Funny places, summer nights and streetcars
Take me back to a world gone away
Boyhood memories seem like yesterday

(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away

(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
Days of magic still so close to me

(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away

(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
Days of magic still so close to me

"On The Last Night Of The Year"

"On The Last Night Of The Year"


(On the last night of the year)

The crowd of strangers storm the Square
The countdown and the cheers
They’ll freeze their a$$es off out there
But me I’ll stay right here
They’ll lift a glass to all that’s passed
And all that’s supposed to be
I’ll toss the Christmas cards and burn
The dried up Christmas tree
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

I’ll make some resolutions now
Like shiny souvenirs
They’ll wind up crumpled on the ground
With confetti and the beer
Beneath the quilt I pray my guilt
Will melt into the night
My weary eyes will search for signs
That I can make it right
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

I’ll stir the coals and fan the flame
At Christmas time each year
They’ll lift a wish and dim the rain
Hope no one can hear
I'll shake my head and climb in bed
Before the ball comes down
That fine champagne right down the drain
Auld the quaint will just be drowned
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

"Once In A Lifetime"

"Once In A Lifetime"


When I saw your face
I could feel my heart-beat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight
Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now, you're the love of my life
[CHORUS:]
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you
You were there for me
I was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love
[CHORUS]

"Once Or Twice"

"Once Or Twice"


Oh girl
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Oh girl
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby i can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be
What i am not
But i think what you need
Is what i got
Girl I'm no philosopher
But i can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
Yes, you see my broken heart too
So won't you
Bring your heart and
Your mind that's out
On the run
Fuse them with my broken
Heart, in my mind
We'll be one.
Girl i looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Girl i think you got a messed up mind
Now that you know yours is
Just like mine
Baby, won't you set me free

"One From The Heart"

"One From The Heart"


I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face
It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, on to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about the love
It's all about the give

"One Little Candle"

"One Little Candle"


It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark.
Better far that you light just one little candle,
All you need is a tiny spark.
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
A wonderful dawn of a new day we'd see...
And if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would be.

When the day is dark and dreary
And we know not where to go;
Don't let your heart go weary,
Just keep this thought in mind...

It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark.
Better far that you light just one little candle,
All you need is a tiny spark.
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
A wonderful dawn of a new day we'd see...
And if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would be.

"One More Day"

"One More Day"


Listen to the wind
Hear the voice inside you.
Something in the air,
Something you've been blind to.
People everywhere are dying to be free.
Time has come to live our lives in harmony.

[Chorus:]
Give the children of the world one more day,
Give the children of the world, give them one more day.

Where do we begin?
When will freedom find us?
Bring the new day in
Free the chains that bind us.
People reaching out for just a little more.
Love is all we need to open up the door.

[Chorus]

Now the future's up to you.
Take a stand and see things thru
For the children of tomorrow.
Give the world one more day,
Time enough to find a way
To start over a way to go on.

One more day
One more day
Give the children of the world
One more day
One more day
One more day
Give the children of tomorrow
One more day

"Only Time Can Heal The Wounded"

"Only Time Can Heal The Wounded"


You hear a sound as she's leaving
You'll hear your heart pound so hard
You'll miss her warm touch and the way
Things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken
And you still can't let her go
Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go
You'll take a long ride without her
Until the tears dry away
In every way you try to reason
When there's no reason left to hold
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal
Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal
