"Winter Wonderland"

"Winter Wonderland"



Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

"Woh, Don't You Know"

"Woh, Don't You Know"



Talking bout Jumping Jim, talking bout Mud Slide Slim.
Don't you know that a fish got to swim, don't a goose got to fly high?
Little dog got to die and I'm going home.
Woh, don't you know. Woh, don't you know.

Talking bout a life on the street, gonna think about an itch in my feet.
Can't you hand me down them highway shoes?
Lord knows I'm talking 'bout the walking blues,
got the rocking pneumonia blues and I'm headed home, bye-bye.
Woh, don't you know. Woh, don't you know

Listen here now, don't you come round talking bout over yonder, listen,
bound to wake up the walking man in me and I'm bound to wandering, hey now,
talking all about spooning into bone, looking just like Sherlock Holmes.
Looking for a needle in a haystack, seeing and eating lots of fatback,
hey, talking bout a railroad track and I'm going home, bye-bye.
Woh, don't you know. Woh, don't you know.
Woh, who, don't you know. You oughta know, you oughta know, you oughta know.
You oughta know like a fish in the stream, oughta know like a leaf on the tree.
Oughta know like a boat in the sea.

"Woman's Gotta Have It"

"Woman's Gotta Have It"



Once upon a time a good friend of mine told me to tell y'all what I say today.
Do the things that keep a smile on her face,
say the words that make her feel better every day.
You bet you better keep on you P's and Q's. If you don't the woman, you can easily lose.
Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it.
No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me.
Woman's got to have it, I believe that I should know,
she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
when you kiss her, you got to make her feel it everyday, boy,
she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground. Think it over.

Don't take for granted the smile upon her face.
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace.
Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word,
but she's got to know that her voice is heard.
Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it.
Now I'm suffering all this pain that the true love cost me.
A woman's got to have it, I believe, she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
when you kiss her, you got to let her feel it everyday, boy
she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground.

So if you've got a love, maybe you've got eyes to keep her,
you've got to give her what she wants when she wants it
where she wants it, all right, how she wants it,
And every dog gone time she thinks she needs it.
Your woman needs it the same as mine, woman got to have it from time to time.
Woman got to have it. Woman got to have it, that's what I say. Woman got to have it.

"Yellow And Rose"

"Yellow And Rose"



Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose.

Oh boy, Botany Bay, watching the water go by.
Here's your home so far away, here is a tear for your eye.
Here is a vast and unknown land, here are the strangers on the sand.

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow.
Tiny pieces of everything, into the water they go.
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore.
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose.

Down under got the south side, this groovy crazy planet.
Watching from the outside, it's as smooth as a gravy sandwich.
People play music night for day, one caught the sun in a sekere.

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow.
Tiny pieces of everything, into the water they go.
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore.
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose.

Remember when we thought we were in California? We thought it was the eye of the hurricane.
Old gypsy woman she tried to warn you, "You'll be back this way again,
hungry for the rain, it's written in your hand, plain."

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow.
Tiny pieces of everything, into the water they go.
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore.
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose.

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose.

"You Can Close Your Eyes"
(performed with Carole King)



Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

"You Make It Easy"

"You Make It Easy"



Gosh almighty baby, yes, indeed. You supply the satisfy and I'll supply the need.
I can't help the way I feel though I know just where it leads,
you make it easy, yes you do, for a man to fall, for a man to fall.

Heaven knows I love my woman , just bound to fuss and fight.
Now I wind up on the barroom stool buying drinks and keeping tight.
But you know I've never done what's come in my mind tonight,
You make it easy, just sitting there looking good, for a man to fall, for a man to fall.

Now me and my wife, we've got the rest of our life
to make this thing right, but you and me will only see tonight.

So baby, won't you turn me down and point me out the door,
I'll head home and sleep it off just like every time before.
You keep on looking good my way, I won't hold out anymore,
you make it easy, you sure do make it easy, babe, for a man to fall, for a man to fall.

You don't have to make it so easy, babe, for another wise good man to fall,
You don't have to make it so easy, babe, no, no no,
for another wise good man to fall, you don't have to make it so easy, babe.

"Your Smiling Face"

"Your Smiling Face"



Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself because I love you, yes, I do.
And when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out.
There's something about you, baby, I don't know.

Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way,
tell me how much longer, it could grow stronger every day. Oh, how much longer?

I thought I was in love a couple of times before with the girl next door,
but that was long before I met you, now I'm sure that I won't forget you.
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are,
and not just another lovely lady set out to break my heart.

Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way,
tell me how much longer, it could grow stronger every day.

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today, whenever I see you smile at me.
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today whenever I see your smiling face my way.
No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today.
No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today.
