"One Pair Of Hands"

"One Pair Of Hands"


One pair of hands built the mountains one pair of hands formed the sea
And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon every bird every flower every tree
One pair of hands formed the valleys the ocean the rivers and the sand
His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong
Put your faith in the one pair of hands
One pair of hands built the mountains...

"Only One Life"

"Only One Life"


Only one life
Just a tiny spark
But now that he is gone
I am somewhere in the dark

If there are ten million men
On this planet, tell me then
How could only one life
Leave such a mark on me?

One life, how could I have known?
One life could be such a part of me
As precious as my own
Only one life

Only one life, what does it mean?
It's only birth and death
And everything between

If livin' is a pointless truth
Just existence, nothing more
Why does only one life
Leave such an empty space?

One life, make it right or wrong
One life, take the love I can't replace
That always will be known to only one life

Just another sore monsoon here
So who cares if one should fall?
There were small world full of magic when he
Touched the wall, we change it all
With only one life

We only have once chance to find
But if we live it right
All we need is one life to make a difference here
One life, it's such a small amount

One life to say we care to make it clear
We have to make it count, once and for all
With only one life
Only one life

"Pave Your Way Into Tomorrow"

"Pave Your Way Into Tomorrow"


Living for today is part of living for tomorrow
For tomorrow's something we all have to find
It's blanket black at midnight
So your faith must be your night-light
To erase the fear of darkness from your mind
You have to pave your way into tomorrow
You've got to live and let your brother live as well
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow
And let your love of living cast it's spell

Gentle raindrops, falling people streams that keep on growing
Till they build a raging river deep and wide
Life's just a big river and if each man is a giver
We might help to make the ocean satisfied
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow…
You've got to live and let your brother live as well
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow
And let your love of living cast it's spell
And let your love of living cast it's spell

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"


If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way
And I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never thinkin' of myself

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find a reason to belie-ie-ieve
In you...

"Rhinestone Cowboy"

"Rhinestone Cowboy"


I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train
That's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know....

"Rose Garden"

"Rose Garden"


I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover so you better think it over
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine girl there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

[Guitar]

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while...

"Running Scared"

"Running Scared"


Just running scared each place we go so afraid that he might show
Just running scared what would I do if he came back and wanted you
Just running scared feeling low yeah running scared you loved him so
Just running scared afraid to lose if he came back which one would you choose
Then all at once he was standing there so sure of himself his head in the air
My heart was breaking which one would it be
Then you turned around and walked away with me

(originally by The Replacements)

"Sadly Beautiful"
(originally by The Replacements)



From the very first day that you were born
To the very last time you waved and honked your horn
Had no chance at all to watch you grow
Up so sadly, beautiful
Up so sadly, beautiful

Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
'Cause the ones you got now see only goodbyes
Had no chance at all to let you know
You're so sadly, beautiful
You're so sadly, beautiful
You're so sadly oh so sadly, beautiful

Well you got your father's hair
And you got your father's nose
But you got my soul
Sadly, beautiful
You're so sadly, beautiful
You're so sadly oh so sadly, beautiful

From the very last time you waved and honked your horn
To a face that turned away pale and worn
Had no chance at all to let you know
You left me sadly, beautiful
You left me sadly, beautiful
You're so sadly oh so sadly, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

"Scarborough Fair / Canticle"

"Scarborough Fair / Canticle"


Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework,
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land:
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme;
(Washes the grave with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

"She Called Me Baby"

"She Called Me Baby"


She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long
Well she called me baby baby all night long
She kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home and call me baby baby all night long

[Trumpet]

She called me baby baby baby all night long
She held me up so high when things went wrong
Now each time in dreams just like a song I still hear baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
