"Forever Came Today"

"Forever Came Today"


Suddenly, my world stood still.
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had layed a plan
For everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of

Darling
Ooh, my darling
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
Into this place, to your warm embrace
And our happiness

Thanks to you, my search has ended
And I want the world to se
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of

"Forever Young"

"Forever Young"


May God bless
And keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb every road
And may you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light surrounding you

May you always be gracious
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Stay forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
With the winds changing shift

May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay

Forever young
Forever young
Stay forever young
Stay forever young

Stay
Stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young

Stay forever young

"Friend To Friend"

"Friend To Friend"


When I gave all of my love to you
I said you were a dream come true
Good to you,
So good to you
Is what I'm gonna be
And I hope you fall in love with me
Persevere is what we'll do
What we'll do to make
Our love everlasting
Oh, friend I owe all of my life to you
I said you were a dream come true
I don't want
No, I don't want to be so cold to you
It's just a defence that I sometimes use
I have often thought that I
Had no love to give
But it's yours for the asking
Ooh
I have often thought
I had no love to give
It's yours
Yours for the asking
Oh friend
I give my life to you
I say you are a dream come true
Oh friend,
Oh friend
I give my life to you
I say you are
You are a dream come true
Friend to friend

"Funny Girl"

"Funny Girl"


Funny, did you hear that? Funny!
Yeah, the guy said
"Honey, you're a funny girl"

That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
Though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh

I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you

A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really needs for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said "A funny girl"

Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girl

Funny
Did you hear that?
The guy said I was funny
We'll wait 'till the laugh's over
And the joke's on you

That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
And though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh

I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh

I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you

A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said "A funny girl"

Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girl

"Gettin' Ready For Love"

"Gettin' Ready For Love"


I sit by the telephone
Waiting for you to call me
And when I'm alone in the night
The blues start to fall on me
Baby, I'm waiting for you
And all that's on my mind
Is what I`m gonna do

My friends say I'm crazy
And I'm wasting my time on you
I'm breaking the rules
And I'm way out of line it's true
Baby, one night with you
And they'd be goin' crazy too

I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real

All I keep thinkin' about
Is the way that you do to me
Baby, the wonder of you
Has made the wonderful come true

I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real

I'm under your spell
Of that I'm sure
You can tell

Sailin' along on a breeze
Ooh, I'm flying
Ooh, I'm skying

I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real

I'm getting ready for love
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
I'm getting ready for love

"Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer"

"Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer"


Up in Harlem every saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah

Ol' Hannah Brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down

He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care

I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like I wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out

He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

"Girls"

"Girls"


Girls you are passion
With your every more
You set the fashion
Mirrors make you invisible
Magic in a vision
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle
You want to be that girl
The best in all the woorld
Next month's cover girl
You are passion
With your every move
You set the fashion
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle

"Give Up"

"Give Up"


Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You can't call for help
'Cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts

I'm no great pretender
I'll make you surrender
So come along quietly
Here's a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net

Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

I'll give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
I'll keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You can't break through them

My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your heart's locked up
My love will assist me
So that you can't resist me

Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

"God Bless The Child"

"God Bless The Child"


Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

"Goin' Through The Motions"

"Goin' Through The Motions"


Play the game
Everything stays the same
A masquerade
Only ourselves to blame...

Love, taken for granted fades each passing day
We need more affection...
I, don't want to let you slip away...

We've been goin' through the motions
(But) there's more to life...oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions,
(Our) love's on the line...oh ooh oh ooh oh...

You and I
Shouldn't lose our direction,
We can't deny
Love could use more attention...

We've traveled too far to let the feeling fade
This time we can change it...'cause
Dreams and passion are just a breath away...
