"For Once In My Life"

"For Once In My Life"



For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

Now, for once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
For once in my life, she needs me
For once in my life

"Forever, For Now"

"Forever, For Now"



Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I figure I better
Take you forever
For now

Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
I guess I better
Take you forever
For now

Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long

By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
Nothing lasts forever
It's not a question of whether
I'll take you forever
For now

"Friend (Goin' Home)"

"Friend (Goin' Home)"



I might not say what I have in the back of my mind
But you always seem to know
You can see right through me
You always get right to me
Even if I might not let it show

I can’t recall all the times that I held out my hand
And you held out your hand too
Never did you doubt me,
You knew all about me
And you’ve found a way to pull me through

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

Alright, yea

Took me a long time to learn, I’m glad you waited around
Sometimes I take a while to see
I’m better because of you, I hope you know I love you
‘Cause I know how much that you love me

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

Like the bird I breather, that’s a friend indeed
It’s a church on the horizon
All the soldiers who knows the world is screwed
It’s the show that they’ll keep prize on

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

I’m going home to see my friend
I’m going home to see my friend

"Frosty The Snowman"

"Frosty The Snowman"



Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
Dns the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"

Down to the village
With a brooomstick in his hand
Running here and there, all around the square,
Sayin', "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler, "Stop!"

Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

He'll be back
Yes he will
Again someday
See you next year Frosty!

"Golden Ticket / I Want It Now"

"Golden Ticket / I Want It Now"



I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing,
But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing
Cause I've got a golden ticket.
I've got a golden sun up in the sky.

I never thought I'd see the day when I would face the world and say,
"Good morning. Look at the sun."
I never thought that I would be slap in the lap of luxury
Cause I have said it couldn't be done
But it can be done.

I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy,
But nevertheless it's there that I'm shortly about to be
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with the golden ticket it's a golden day.

I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts so good you could go nuts.
Give to me now!
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons and
Give it to me now.
I want the world,
I want the whole world.
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now!
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand ton of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!
I want the works,
I want the whole works!
Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises in all shapes and sizes,
And now!
Don't care how I want it now!

"Good Night My Love (Pleasant Dreams)"



Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

Before you go
Please remember I need you so
And this love I have for me
Will never go cold

If you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
Just close your eyes
Then you realize
That my love will watch over you, dear, always

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

"Greatest Love"

"Greatest Love"



When I was a baby lying in my bed
My mama told me stories in her head
Sometimes we were happy, sometimes it was sad
I’d keep em forever, some of the best days that I had

She told me bout men, we did nothing like
Thank God I’m a boatload, you never got on my way
She told me bout women, just wanna be true
But my mama man did finally found a woman to do

My mama said “too little I was then”
Well you can right the error, the life that lies ahead

We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

Mama said there’s a reason they call them fairytales
Only people like Jonah wind up living in wells
But she said I was special and I will never give in
I’ll find me a girl and a fairytale will begin

My mama tried to live until she died
And even if she never met you she’d be happy you’re my bride

We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

Yea we tell em the greatest love story ever told
We tell em the greatest love story ever told

"He Is They Are"

"He Is They Are"



He is good
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demure

When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amused

He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were true

He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own

"Hear Me In The Harmony"

"Hear Me In The Harmony"



The city don't even matter
I could be anywhere
I don't care
There's a whole lotta hard workin people
That could take my place
And it's easy to leave
When nobody knows your face
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I came up in New Orleans
Fixin what I could find
To peace my mind
I gave what I had to the winners
Just to get along
But it's really hard to sing
When nobody hears your song
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I thought I learned from getting burned
I bought a suit of armor and a silver cane
I found a little man who'd be proud of me
But he had to get up early
And I had to get back to my pain
I guess I'll keep on livin
One day they'll ask for me
I'll be free
And if there's a heaven
I'll be ready for my life to begin
But I wonder if I call
If they're gonna let me in
Open your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony

"Heart Beyond Repair"

"Heart Beyond Repair"



Pieces of a hole
Unrequited, not renowned
Never sought and never found
Through blood
Through soul

Now unfamiliar
Feelings of good being
Are light that's not worth seeing
Through blood
Through soul

Restless and distorted
Thoughts that underscore my night
Being wrong and seeing right
Through blood
Through soul

Heart beyond repair
All the edges worn and frayed
Magnifying love betrayed
Through blood
Through soul
