"P.O.V. Waltz"

"P.O.V. Waltz"



And suddenly
The strangest things are happening
I hope it's not the last time
Last time
I had a drink or two
An hour so ago
It made me think of you
And now I know it's not the last time
Last time
Flying high up in the sky
I wonder why
I think I'm gonna fall
Think I'm gonna fall
There I go again, I'm up again, there I go again
I hope this isn't all
Hey.
As long as were up here
We might as well stay
In sweet harmony
Flying high up in the sky
I wonder why I have to have another
Point of view
To see me through
And now I think I'm gonna fall
I hope this isn't all
And on top of that
I hope it's not the last time

"Perfect Day"

"Perfect Day"



It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day
It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day

Ride with me, glide with me
Stay by my side with me through the night
Ride on the wings of the angels of love
Who are on our side

It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day
It's the perfect way
To say I love you

"Poli High"

"Poli High"



Poli-high, Poli-Technic, Poli-Technically High,
Poli-high,, Poli-Technically High,
Valley Low, Valley Low, Valley so low
Valley Low, Valley Low, Valley High
Had a game, had a game, had a technical game,
By the name, by the name, called a technical game,
Valley High, Valley High, Valley High
Poli, Low
Then de whistle blow
Then de whistle blow
Second half, second half, Poli come from behind.
Hold that line, Hold that line, Hold that line,
Far to go, going, slow, Poli come from behind.
Running out of the time.
Number Two, dressed in blue,
Make a run with the ball,
Hurry up Poli, pass Valley by
Then the rain start to fall,
Making fools of them all
And so it ends in a technical tie.

"Pretty Soon There'll Be Nothing Left For Everybody"

"Pretty Soon There'll Be Nothing Left For Everybody"



Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for everybody
Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for you and me
Pretty soon there'll be no air to breathe
Pretty soon there'll be no pretty sea to see
Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for everybody

Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for everybody
Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for you and me
Pretty soon there'll be no plans to make
There'll be no aeroplanes to take
No trains of thought to break for everybody

Pretty soon there'll be no place to land
Pretty soon there'll be no sea or sand
No one to understand or lend a helping hand to anybody
Pretty soon there'll be no hearts to break
Pretty soon there'll be no bellyache
There'll be no pills to take, and make no mistake
There'll be nothing left for everybody

Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for everybody
Pretty soon there'll be nothing left for you and me
Pretty soon there'll be no sky
There'll be no one askin' why
There'll be no one left to cry for anybody

"Puget Sound"

"Puget Sound"



In a cardboard town in Puget Sound
A crackerjack was jackin' up the bottom of a frown
While a little wooden man and his tiny papermate
Danced a crazy jigsaw puzzle and they laughed at all the hate.

The hated hate was locked up in an iron cage
So all the people passing by could see
Which only added to the rage hate felt
When laughter winked an eye.

In a cardboard town in Puget Sound
A crackerjack was jackin' up the bottom of the town
While a little wooden man and his tiny papermate
Danced a crazy jigsaw puzzle to the tune of paper moon.

Oh, it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me
Oh, it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me.

In a cardboard town in Puget Sound
A crackerjack was jackin' up the other side of town
While a little wooden man and his tiny papermate
Danced a crazy jigsaw puzzle and they laughed at all the hate.

The hated hate was locked up in an iron cage
So all the people passing by could see
Which only added to the rage hate felt
When laughter winked an eye.

In a cardboard town in Puget Sound
A crackerjack was jackin' up the other side of town
While a little wooden man.

"Rain"

"Rain"



The sun comes up
The sun goes down
The sun goes round and round and round
The moon comes out
Behind the clouds
The clouds give in
And suddenly there's rain
Not enough to hurt the grain
Just enough to ease the pain
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
Rain yeah.
Come and call me by my name
Making everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
The sun comes up
And suddenly there's rain
Take away my pain
Come on take away my pain
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
The sun shines right through the rain
While the wet folks fall on the floor
And the sun shines bright through the window
I don't need no sun any more
Rain rain rain
Come and call me by my name
You make everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
Rain yeah
Rain yeah
Come and call me by my name
Making everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
All I need is a bit of rain

"Rainmaker"

"Rainmaker"



First day in August
Last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day

The rainmaker said to the people
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"
The rainmaker said to the people
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today"

Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
See how they run

Called down the lightnin'
By a mystical name
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder
And suddenly it began to rain
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people
But the people all turned away
Then the rainmaker's eyes
And the Kansas skies
Both became a darker grey

First day in August
Last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon
And without a word he rode way
Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter
And they knew the rain had come to stay

Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Rain
Rain
Rain
Raaaiiinnn
Raaaiiinnn
Raaaiiinnn

"Remember (Christmas)"

"Remember (Christmas)"



Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes

Remember, is a place from long ago
Remember, filled with everything you know
Remember, when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember, turn around
Remember, life is just a memory
Remember, close your eyes and you can see
Remember, think of all that life can be
Remember

Dream, love is only in a dream
Remember
Remember, life is never as it seems
Dream

Dream, love is only in a dream
Remember
Remember, life is never as it seems
Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes

"River Deep - Mountain High"

"River Deep - Mountain High"



When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
