"Over The Weekend"

"Over The Weekend"



Packing my crib and I'm taking a trip out of town
Over the weekend
Must have a change from the sight of this strange lonely town
Over the weekend

Far from the noise of the crowd
There must be some place for me
Where I can shout to the clouds
Shout that I'm free

High on a mountain top
Time and the world will stop, I know what Ill find
Love uninhibited, nothing prohibited
If its insane I don't care, let me lose my mind

Monday will seem as unreal as a dream in the night
Over the weekend
Back on the train I could never explain my delight
Over the week end

Will I have any regrets
Back in this hole in the wall?
How long before I could get
The thrill of it all?

I think that I can hold on
To love when its over and gone
Ill let the curtain descend
Over the weekend

Oh, oh, what a dream, what a time, oh, what a day
Ooh, love, love, love
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know

I wanna shout from the highest mountain top
Oh, what a night, it was right
Right here, right now

"Pieces Of Dreams (From Pieces Of Dreams)"

"Pieces Of Dreams (From Pieces Of Dreams)"



Little boy lost in search of little boy found
You go a wondering, wandering
Stumbling, tumbling, round! round!
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind?
Why are you blind
To all you ever were
Never were, really are, nearly are?
Little boy false in search of little boy true
Will you ever be done traveling
Always unraveling you, you?
Running away could lead you further astray
And as for fishing in streams for pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it?
Little boy blue, don't let your little sheep roam
It's time ,come blow your horn, meet the morn
Look and see, can you be far from home?

"Play Me"

"Play Me"



She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said "Come take me"
For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where, I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me,
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me......

"Please Be Kind"

"Please Be Kind"



This is my first affair, so please be kind
Handle my heart with care, oh, please be kind
This is all so grand, my dreams are on parade
If you'll just hold my hand, they'll never, ever fade

So tell me your love's sincere, oh, please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh, please be kind
'Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me, please be kind

So tell me your love's sincere, oh, please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh, please be kind
'Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me, please, please be kind

"Please Help Me, I'm Falling"

"Please Help Me, I'm Falling"



Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free dear
But when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
Please help me, I'm falling
That would be a sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in
For I musn't want you
But darling I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

"Poinciana (Song Of The Tree)"

"Poinciana (Song Of The Tree)"



Blow... tropic wind...
Sing a song... through the trees.

Trees... sigh to me...
Soon my love... I will see.

Poinciana,
Your branches speak to me of love.
Pale moon is casting shadows from above.

Poinciana,
Somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage
beat.

Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air.
To and fro, you sway, my heart's in time,
I've learned to care.

Poinciana,
From now until the dawning day,
I'll learn to love forever come what may.

Blow... tropic wind,
Sing a song through the trees.
Trees... sigh to me
Soon my love... I will see.

Poinciana...

"Prelude To A Kiss"

"Prelude To A Kiss"



If you hear
A song in blue
Like a flower crying
For the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss

If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss

Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song so gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

"Put On A Happy Face"

"Put On A Happy Face"



Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face

Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile

Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full of doubt look
Slap on a happy grin

And spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face

And if you're feeling cross and bickerish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana splits and licorice
And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so gloomy
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place
And put on a happy face

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"



Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

"Rapture"

"Rapture"



The night I laid my eyes on you
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say

Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time oh my love where've you been

Mi amore don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

I'm mesmerized in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
You're kisses make my skin feel weak
I'm always melting in your heat

Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide as I'm flying through heaven

Mi amore don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Since we connect behind closed doors
Spark this fire even more
No telling where we will be next
Surrender to your rapture arrest
Lay your head, let the slumber float
Can't resist, that's why words were wrote

Mi amore don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
