"Moon River"

"Moon River"



Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style some day
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

"Moonlight Rider"

"Moonlight Rider"



Hey, just for one last time
I'll sing my song just like I did before
When we were all young
Can you still recall how it was sung?

The songs are only rhymes
Life don't turn out
The way we thought it would
When we were all young
Used to love to hear them love songs sung

I was the moonlight rider
I'd ride out on a sea of dreams
Far away, long ago, so it seems
Won't you take
That moonlight ride with me?

Well, just for one last time
I'll sing my song just like I did before
Maybe you'll sing along
Do you still recall that moonlight song?

I am the moonlight rider
I'm riding on a sea of dreams
Far away, long ago, so it seems
Won't you take
That moonlight ride with me?

"Morning Has Broken"

"Morning Has Broken"



Oh yes,
Say it now

Morning has broken,
Like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken,
Like the first bird

Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall,
Sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall,
On the first grass
Praise for the sweetness
Of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light,
Eden saw play

Praise with elation,
Praise every morning
God's re-creation
Of the new day

"Morningside"

"Morningside"


Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away

And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands,
He carved these words inside
'For my children'

Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness
From these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
'For my children'

[Spoken:]
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children
That sat around this great table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah, and that was good

Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph
'For my children'

"Mothers And Daughters, Fathers And Sons"

"Mothers And Daughters, Fathers And Sons"



And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no

Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh

And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go
Oh no, oh no

"Mr. Bojangles"

"Mr. Bojangles"



I knew a man,
Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high, jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down

I met him in a cell in New Orleans,
He was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life
He laughed, slapped his leg and stepped
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance

He said his name,
Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance
And jumped so high, clicked his heels
He let go a laugh Let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around

He danced for those in minstrel shows
And county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he traveled about
His dog up and died he up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance
He said I dance now
At every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time
I spend behind these county bars
'Cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head
And as he shook his head
I heard someone ask, please
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Go on and dance

"My Babe"

"My Babe"



My babe, I got my babe
And I won't lie babe
Without your love
I'm just one of a million other guys

Well it's a hard time world,
With part time girls to spend your time with.
And life ain't always fair but I don't care
As long as I'm with

My babe
I got my babe
And I won't lie babe
Without your love
I'm just one of a million other guys

You take one look around
You'll hear the sounds of young hearts breakin'
The game's galled runnin' free,
It ain't for me
'Cause my hearts taken with

My babe,
I got my babe
And I won't lie babe
Without your love
I'm just one of a million other guys

My babe, I got my babe
And I won't lie babe
Without your love
I'm just one of a million other guys

"My Heart Will Go On"

"My Heart Will Go On"



Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time to hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here
There's nothing I fear
Cause I know that my heart
Will go on and on
And on and on and on
My heart will go on and on

"My Special Someone"

"My Special Someone"




You are my special someone
All I will ever need
I know I'd be lost without you
I hope you'd be lost without me

I've searched alone
But your the only one
You're what I want
When things are said and done
I guess I only needed
Someone who was just like you
Someone who'd be
My special someone too

I stumbled down love's main highway
But not without takin' some falls
I've seen my illusions fly away
Until I had none left at all

And then you rescued
What was left of me
What maybe some would call a fantasy
But me, I'd have to say it only proves
How strange love moves
I need to be your special someone too

'Cause what I needed most
Is what she gave to me
And where she lays her head
Is where I want to be
There's something wrong with losing
What we finally found
Now when I've lost my way
I've got my special someone round

And when she needed love
She found it here with me
Now where I lay my head
Is where she wants to be
I've got a secret but it's one
That's hard to keep
I want to tell the world
That special someone is my girl
That special someone is my girl
She wants to be my special someone too
