Our Love

Our Love



You're my morning star
Shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love
We will last through all eternity
Just the way we are, I love it, love it
It's just the way it should be

'Cause Our Love will stand tall as the tree
(Our Love) will spread wide as the sea
(Our Love) will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above
And we'll always be together (Our Love)

My love is surely one thing
You can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear
I go to you, I know you'll make me strong
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me smile

'Cause Our Love will stand tall as the tree
Our Love will be for the whole world to see
Our Love will change people's wrongs to right
And we'll never die, 'cause we'll always have each other

Ohh... Ooh...

Our Love will stand tall as the tree
Our Love will spread as wide as the sea
Our Love will shine bright in the night like the stars above
And we'll always be together

(Our Love), Yeah. Our Love. We got a good old-fashioned love.
Hey. Hey baby. Our Love.
We got a mighty, mighty good love.
Hey, Our, Our Love
We got a mighty, mighty good love, uh, Oh, Oh, Ooh that's right.
Our Love.
Bring it down just a little.

'Cause love is soft, love is sweet
Love is nice and love is gentle
Love is joy and love is pain
Love is laughing in the rain
I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time.
Love is you, Love is me
Love is just a little baby
I've got love on my mind
Love is always right on time
Love is you, Love is me
Love is gonna set you free
Our Love Ahh, Our Love
Ooh, Ooh, Our Love. Baby, Baby, Our Love
Our Love

Paper Moon

Paper Moon




I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you
Out of your embrace the world's a temporary parking place
umm A bubble for a minute
umm you smile
the bubble has a rainbow in it

Say it's only a paper moon
sailing over a cardboard sea
but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

Yes it's only a canvas sky
hanging over a muslin tree
but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

with out your love
it's a honky tank parade

with out your love
it's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
just as phony as it can be
but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

yes it's only a canvas sky
hanging over a muslin tree
but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

with out your love
it's a honky tonk parade

with out your love
it's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
just as phony as it can be
but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

Paradise

Paradise



Hm, hm

Hm, hm, hm, hm

Just like a welcome fire

That comes in the cold

You make my heart warm

And a little more love is born

And I’m caught up once again on you

Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows

But you’re so strong

And I know I’m gonna love you long

Well, crazy maybe

But I’ve seen paradise

Here in your eyes

I’m in seventh heaven

Ooh, there’s nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

When the lights are out

And I’m in the dark

I’m not afraid, no

Long as I can get a piece of your heart

And the wind sighs

I love you

Specially when we touch

I need it so much

And I’m glad that we found love

Let the record show that I know that i’ve

Seen paradise here in your eyes

I’m in seventh heaven

Ooh, there’s nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

Hmm, ooh (paradise)

Hey, I’m in para, para-dise, yeah

I’m in paradise, you know

You know that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like to be in paradise

(paradise) I’m in paradise

And for those who think that there’s no such thing

As eternity, they should take a look at you and me

We have got the perfect harmony

Specially when we touch

You know I need it, oh, so much

I’m in heaven specially when I’m with you, hey

I’m in paradise (paradise)

I’m in paradise, paradise and a

Here in your life

Here in your eyes (paradise)

You know that I like, you know that I like

With me, with me in paradise

To be enough, paradise here in your eyes

Spending my life, spending my life

Spending my life, spending my life

Spending all my life with you

Here in paradise, wooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Peaceful Living

Peaceful Living




Have you been to the very top of the highest hill

Where the air is fresh and sweet and the sky is so clear

Looking out on the country side and the view of the villages so far away

There is nothing to feel, nothing to feel

Come with me, won’t you take my hand

Let’s explore this heaven right here on earth, peaceful living is here

Me and you on this mountaintop with our love we will never stop

’cause we both know peaceful living is right here

And here we are in utopia where the sun never seems to go away

And the moon is our friend, hmm

Looking out on a starry night and the sky is like a sleigh for riding on

But you don’t need a pin, you don’t need a pin

Precious one, you’re a joy to me

And I know that there’s no place else I’d rather be

Peaceful living is here, yeah, yeah

Me and you on this mountain top with our love we’ll never stop

And we both know peaceful living is right right, hoo--

And the moon is our friend, me and you, yeah, yeah, yeah--

Precious one you’re a joy to me

And I know that there’s no place else I’d rather be

Peaceful is living here, oh, me and you on this mountaintop

With our love we’ll never stop ’cause we both know peaceful living is here

We both know peaceful living is here

We both know peaceful living is right here

La, la, peaceful living, la, la, peaceful living, living, living--

La, la, peaceful living

Pick Yourself Up

Pick Yourself Up




Pick youself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off

And start all over again, nothing’s impossible I have found

For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up

Dust myself off, and start all over again, don’t lose your confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust yourself off

And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, ’til the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired, but you’ll be a man my son

Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again

So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again

Musical interlude

Don’t lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip

Just pick youself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again

(scat)

You’ve got to work like a soul inspired, ’til the battle of the day is won

You may be sick, you may be tired, but you’re gonna be a man my son

Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again

Just take a deep breath,ah, pick yourself up

Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again

(scat and laughter)

Pink Cadillac

Pink Cadillac



You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well come on over here and hug me
And, baby, I'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
Cause baby I got plenty of that

I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac


Well now way back in the Bible, temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting you
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you man with silver and they tempt you sir with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
Man I ain't going for that


I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac


Now some folks say it's too big and uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old and that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda, it's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing and one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it honey, we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink Cadillac

Reverend Lee

Reverend Lee



This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister

Who thinks he’s got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know

That he ain’t got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee

Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord

About old satan’s daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping

She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm

She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah

Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that I love you child, but I would not even, no, no,

Place God above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high

Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don’t test me

Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy

And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then God rolled the thunder

And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry

Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder

Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, God cannot be petitioned

Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice

Your God will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water

And he was hotly pursued by old satan’s daughter

And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee

She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee

(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), I don’t want nobody else to do it

Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

Say you love me, say I’m the one your eyes see

Tell me you need me deep down inside like I need you

You see I need you to see me through, I wanna hear you say darling, darling

I love you, so say, say you love me, (say you love me) yeah, yeah

(say you love me) say, just say you love me

Together we will never grow old, sometimes the going will get a little tough

And I must admit living with me can be rough, I need you to see me through

I get off when you say, baby, baby, baby, I love you

(say) so say, (say) just say you love me, wanna hear you say (say) say

(say) you love me (you love me), oh, ooh let me be, I wanna be your woman

Together we can make a stand, I know, I know, let me take your trembling hand

Somewhere in god’s country we’ll settle on a piece of land

Because I need you to see me through, I just wanna hear you say

Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby I love you, I love (say) you

So say (say) say (you love me), say you love me

Smile

Smile



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile- what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Oh that's the time you must keep on trying

Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
