"More"

"More"



More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known

This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.

More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

"Much Love"

"Much Love"



Next to the highway - a noisy place
Will anyone ever want me
Tiny place next to the highway
Could anyone ever want me
I don't have a car
My job pays poor
So much love in my heart
Looks as if I may have lost my allure
But I've got much love in my heart

My appetite for love's voracious
Will anyone entertain me
It's no wonder my bed seems spacious
Could anyone entertain me
Is it possible
For two of us
To have much love in our hearts
How it would be
Fortuitous
To find that much love in a heart

The heat of winter's chill on my face
Burning that's deep in my chest
It's cold and familiar in second place
Knowing I've done my best

The certain cause for my ambition
To dress an unyielding sadness
Flirting with an absent addition
To simmer away my madness
The curb that I climb
Is much too steep
To carry that heavy a heart
I'll stay where I stand
And just try to keep
Love in that heavy a heart

Away from the highway - a quiet place
Will I ever find my true love
Majestic and far from the highway
Could I have had my last love
I ride in a plane
My job pays high
Still so much love in my heart
At least I'll be sure of my place in the sky
With all this love in my heart

"Muskrat Ramble"

"Muskrat Ramble"



I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down
Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town
Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
I look at that train number 709
Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time
Who do you think is about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland Five

They're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune
Like the way you never heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now - one and two
Join that happy crowd
Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, ramble along
Yeah

"My Blue Heaven"

"My Blue Heaven"



When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh,
I hurry to my Blue Heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light,
Will lead me to my Blue Heaven.

I'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Jilly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

You know I'm gonna see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Jilly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

"My Prayer"

"My Prayer"


[Written by Jimmy Kennedy]

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's divine...

My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine.

Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...

My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

When the twilight is gone
And no songbird is singing
When the twilight is gone
You come into my heart
And here in my heart do you stay
While I pray

Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...

My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

"Nature Boy"

"Nature Boy"



There was a boy
A very strange enchanged boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day, he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

"Never Young"

"Never Young"



I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know
The fun I had
I ride in limousines
But it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass
To see outside
I like to see how much I pass
On my roller coaster ride
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed
Never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well
Without a pail
And if you come to rescue me
I'll tell my fairy tale
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
What curtains fall
On childhood stages
That never rise
To show the crowd
Things I drag
Throughout the ages
Never seem
To speak out loud
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid grey is mostly what I see now
I live my life
And never stop to
Close the doors
And all time I never thought
Of living yours
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

"Nobody Like You To Me"

"Nobody Like You To Me"



Save time to collect my fortune
Paid upon arrival
But I don't know where I'll be goin
I'm travellin survival
Aw, girl
When I get there
If it ain't for free
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me
I've been scarred by my commitment
To tell them what I see
But I can't see that I've
Been blinded
By mediocrity
Aw, girl
If I dare
To change what it should be
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me
Maybe I should take it easy
Seems I'm the only one
But you won't let me rest my conscience
'Till all I know is done
Aw, girl
If I care
Enough to disagree
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me

"Nola Girl"

"Nola Girl"


[Verse:]
Going towards the coz wave south of 59
Headed to the easy to see that girl of mine
She's a bit peculiar , sings a different tune
She took my soul and then she stole
The crescent from the moon

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Verse:]
Make you play your cards right
Make you call a bluff
She won't let you see much
But you'll see enough

[Verse:]
Tell her maybe next time
Tell you maybe not
You don't dare forget to care
For the girl that care forgot

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Bridge:]
It's like they crossed up Madonna
With the young Marie Laveau
She'll do anything you wanna
Beside of turning old

[Verse:]
Sometimes in the morning
Right before the sun
She had satisfied you
But she's far from done

[Verse:]
She put summer perfume
She'll dress and both your girl
Watch you go, you wouldn't know
She's someone else's girl

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I can never go

"Nothin' New For New Year"

"Nothin' New For New Year"



I see my own reflection in the window
I hear the people carry'n on below
I know the one I love is out there somewhere
To me that somewhere's not far to go

Ev'ry year I make my resolution
To find my love and make her all my own
But it looks like she decided not to show again
And I'll be singing 'Auld Lang Syne' alone

People grow accustomed to their lifestyles
It's easier to settle in your ways
I wish that I had someone to get used to
To settle down until my dying days

Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Nothin' new for new year for me

It don't mean nothing if you're crying all the time
And there's no one there to see your tears
And it don't mean nothing if you're passing up your prime
And I been passing mine for years

And so, to my reflection in the window
I'll raise my glass and make a toast to you
I've never known a man to be heartbroken
My someone that he never even knew

Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Nothin' new for new year for me
