"Brian's Song (The Hands Of Time)"

"Brian's Song (The Hands Of Time)"



If the hand of time
Were hand that I could hold
I'd keep them warm.

And in my hand
They ‘d not turn cold.

Hand in hand
We'd choose
The moments that should last.

Timeless moments
That have no future
And no past.

The summer
From the top of a swing
The comfort
In the sound of a laughter.

The innocense
Of leaves in spring
But most of all
The moment when love touched me.

All the happy days
We've never learned to fly
Until the hands of time
Would choose the wave goodbye.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"



When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry
them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

"By Myself"

"By Myself"



Today I won't be cruel
Though yesterday I walked with you
Through the park and to the lake
What a terrible mistake
I'll be brief
Here it comes with some relief
I'm a waste of time for you
So I'll go back inside my room
I wanna be by myself
I wanna be by myself
I'd make a miserable wife
I'm barely fit to live in my life
One day you'll understand
It was all out of my hands
What can I do if I know
I'm happiest when I'm alone
Don't be sad
It's a problem that I've had
There is nothing left to do
So I'll go back inside my room
I wanna be by myself
I wanna be by myself
I'd make a miserable wife
I'm barely fit to live in my life
I wanna be by myself
I wanna be by myself
I'd make a miserable wife
I'm barely fit to live in my life

"By The Time This Night Is Over"

"By The Time This Night Is Over"



Silence takes over
Saying all we need to say
Theres endless possibilites
In the moves we can make.
Your kiss is giving every indication
If this heart of mine is right.

The stars are gonna shine on two lovers in love
And when the morning comes
Its gonna find us together
In a love thats just begun.
Two hearts are gonna fly to the heavens above
And well get closer and closer and closer
By the time this night is over.

Lets take a slow and easy ride
Just lay back, and let love take us over
Theres magic here with you and I
And its gonna take us all the way.
Lets find some kind of a deeper conversation
And darling if its right.

A night like this may never come again
And you wont want this lie to end
Oh baby we can have it all
By the time this night is... over.

Oh, gonna wrap my lovin arms around you.
Heavens gonna smile, gonna smile on two lovers...

"Bye Bye Blackbird"

"Bye Bye Blackbird"



No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Bye, bye, blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

"Cabin In The Sky"

"Cabin In The Sky"



In this cloudy sky overhead now
There's no guiding star I can see
And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed
Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go...

There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister
For me and for you
I feel that it's true somehow

Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister
An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow

We will be oh so gay
Eat fried chicken every day
As the angels go sailing by

And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky

We will be oh so gay
Eat fried chicken every day
As the angels go sailing by

That is why my heart is flying high, baby
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky

"Call Me"

"Call Me"



Call me
If your arms are lonely
Call me
If you're feeling blue
If you don't believe me
Just call and say you need me
And darling I'll come to you

Call me
If your dreams should tumble
I will help you start anew

If you don't believe me
Just call and say you need me
And darling I'll come to you

Call me if thing looks hopeless and gray
I'll come and change the view
Call me when spring seems farthest away
I'll change the seasons for you

Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're though
If you don't believe me
Just call and say you need me
And darling I'll come to you

Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're though
If you don't believe me
Just call and say you need me
And darling I'll fly to you

"Call Me Irresponsible"

"Call Me Irresponsible"



Since I'm always making resolutions
Seems every night for me is New Year's eve
Things they chisel on those institutions

These lofty thoughts I've never quite achieved
Each time I take a bow when everything went well
Things go alright and there am I saying I meant well

Well, call me irresponsible, call me unreliable
Throw in undependable, too
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well, I'm not too clever, I just adore you

Call me unpredictable, tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible, yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true, I'm irresponsibly mad for you

"Calypso Noel"

"Calypso Noel"



Sing we Noel, sing we joyously Noel!

Joyously sing the news we have to tell!
Born to us in the little village of Bethlehem on this day,
Is the little Christ Child so pure and holy;
He's sleeping there in the hay.

Poor little baby, no other place was found,
Except in a manger with cows and sheep around.

Oh, sing Noel!
Oh, yet the glory of this wee baby was sung by angels so sing Noel!
Oh, sing Noel! fair;
There were Wise Men and shepherds to give Him honor and
Oh, sing Noel! bring Him presents so rare.

"Can't Get Out Of This Mood"

"Can't Get Out Of This Mood"



All day long before my eyes come little visions of you
They shouldn't, they mustn't, but they do, they do

And I Can't Get Out Of This Mood, can't get over this feeling
Can't Get Out Of This Mood, last night your lips were too appealing
The thrill should have been all gone by today in the usual way
But it's only your arms I'm out of

Can't get out of this dream, what a fool I was to dream of you
'twasn't part of my scheme to sigh and tell you that I love you
But I'm sayin' it, I'm playin' it dumb
Can't Get Out Of This Mood, heartbreak, here I come

The thrill should have been all gone by today in the usual way
But it's only your arms I'm out of

Can't get out of this dream, what a fool I was to dream of you
'twasn't part of my scheme to sigh and tell you that I love you
But I'm sayin' it, yes, I'm playin' it dumb
Can't Get Out Of This Mood, heartbreak, here I come

This mood, Can't Get Out Of This Mood, Can't Get Out Of This Mood
